Default Those guys are jerks

Sarah fights back against the cowardly McCain staffers who have been anonymously destroying her.

Quote:
“So, no, I think that if there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about Nafta, and about the continent versus the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context,” Ms. Palin said. “And that’s cruel and it’s mean-spirited, it’s immature, it’s unprofessional, and those guys are jerks, if they came away with it taking things out of context and then tried to spread something on national news. It is not fair and not right.”

"It's mean! It's not fair!" Great quote. She really is the new feminist icon, isn't she?

She's doing a great job of playing the role of the naive country girl who didn't know what she was getting herself into. I really do think she can ride a wave of sympathy into a pretty impressive political career for someone who clearly knows very little about a lot and a lot about very little.

I happen to agree with her on this particular point. There is nothing honorable in what these McCain staffers did.

There is no honor in politics. She knew that going in. It's a bulldog eat bulldog world.

No way! If I'd wanted to sound like Archaea I would have posted about excessive taxation and the struggle to make ends meet on a half mil per year.

I have no idea what Archaea pulls. I know what he implies he pulls when he's speaking strictly hypothetically on an anonymous internet board.

Bah, give me a break. This is her own campaign for crying out loud. This is incredibly unprofessional, even for politics.

Limbaugh noted the other day that McCain staff has spent more time defaming Sarah Palin than all the time it spent on Jeremiah Wright. McCain is out there, angry at his own party for using the word "Hussein" in Obama's name, and then he sits on his hands while staffers trash his VP.

Meanwhile, folks like that gullible stooge Cali Coug lap it all up.

What a disgrace.
