McCain does not need to defend Sarah.
He needs to KICK some campaign aides in the a**s All of this was whispered to the media BEFORE the election. Separate the facts from the frustration. Okay, they didn’t like her. But my perception is that certain senior/top aides deliberately [in my opinion]antagonized the media with snarky comments. Then the same two staff went on the air to “defend” her and said “Sarah didn’t do anything wrong” “she didn’t understand….”. Weasels. Give me some straight answers:
1. Did Sarah “loot” Neiman Marcus or did some fancypants consultant hired by the staff? Frankly, I know who has more credibility to me, but there is physical evidence available in the records. Show it to us! Also, I saw several reports that the aides decided to tell McCain about the shopping spree because he might get mad. Mad at who? Sarah? or them? And whoever made the claim “Wasilla hillbillies looting” to Newsweek needs to never work for a candidate again. Now that was tacky.
2. About Sarah in a towel. Schmidt said it never happened. Davis said he asked around and was told by staff Sarah didn’t realize the that Schmidt & the other guy were in the suite. One of them is lying. But honestly — are the gossiping twits 12 years old?
3. About her knowledge of foreign affairs and economics – most folks realized she didn’t have as much knowledge as we would need in a vice president. But we didn’t sneak around and call her stupid and gossip about her gaffs.
4. Her temperment – I don’t know and I don’t care. If she made some of the staff cry, then good for her.
After the mascara (Cameron and Newsweek) hit the fan, Sarah kept praising John McCain, saying most of the media had been fair and that the staff got along great. And looking like she meant it when she said it was a wonderful experience. Whatever her faults, Sarah Palin has more class in her big toe than the bunch of backstabbing aides rolled up together.
