Sarah Palin Despises Newt Gingrich (If they're trying to make me like her more, it's working!)

There are a lot of interesting tidbits to be found in the tell-all penned by Frank Bailey, an aide to Sarah Palin while she was governor of Alaska, which draws on Bailey's firsthand experiences and Palin's own e-mails. Much of it confirms what we already know about Palin — namely, that she's obsessed with her portrayal in the media, with gossip about her family, and with slights from her enemies. But of all the book's revelations, one that might actually be relevant/entertaining going forward, if Palin runs for president, is the nasty e-mail she wrote about Newt Gingrich.

Here's what Palin sent to her "team" after her scheduled appearance speaking about Gingrich at a fund-raising event was canceled:

“Yes, (Newt/GOP) are egotistical, narrow minded machine goons… but all the more reason God protected me from getting up on stage in front of 5000 political and media ‘elites’ to praise him, then it be shown across the nation.” Palin wrote in the e-mail.

“At some point Newt would have shown his true colors anyway and we would have been devastated having known we’d earlier prostituted ourselves up in front of the country introducing him and acting like that good ol’ rich white guy is the savior of the party,” she continued.

Yeesh. Can't wait for the next time those two try to pretend to like each other. Also, Good ol' rich white guy? In private, Sarah Palin kind of sounds like Markos Moulitsas.

I bet that gets your panties in a wad, doesn’t it RINO?

The issue of illegal immigration should not be a litmus test in deciding who and who not is conservative.

[LibLieSlayer]

Yeah... and abortion shouldn't be a litmus test either /s... no way... Amnesty is invasion and against our Constitution and laws... being a US citizen means something... and it does not mean that you are a successful illegal invader. I will NEVER vote for anyone embracing Amnesty... not even Palin... if she becomes pro Amnesty... no way... and I am one of her biggest and earliest supporters on FR.

Don't try to confuse the two. Abortion is the killing of the unborn. Amnesty doesn't even come close.

Sarah doesn't support amnesty. She favors a path to citizenship through registration.

[LibLieSlayer]

Sara... please do not try to convince me that pro illegal positions are Conservative... you do not want to go there.

Was Ronald Reagan conservative?

[LibLieSlayer]

Reagan is part of the reason that we know that Amnesty will never work... Reagan made several big mistakes... believing tip o’neill that the dims would cut spending for every dollar of new taxes... they lied... and he trusted ted kennedy that if he agreed to Amnesty for 1.85 million illegals that we would close the borders and stop the problem... they lied and we have not... and he ran from al qaeda in Lebanon... that was the birthplace of modern terrorism... so Reagan was a great President even with these mistakes... but we must learn from these past mistakes... and doing the same exact thing and expecting a different result is insanity... defined by Einstein himself... and it is also liberal to continue with failed liberal policies.

Do you support Sarah’ plan of registration?

[LibLieSlayer]

When she gives me some real details, then I will tell you... if it is a worker permit after qualification... then possibly... if it gifts illegal mexicans with citizenship not earned... then no. She has not issued any detailed plan to my knowledge.

Any idea why she'd feel that way?

Plenty. If she runs short, she can borrow a couple of mine.

Remember — do not give too much credit to this source. I give far more credit to the National Enquirer I read in the beauty shop this morning.

[Dead Corpse]

I don’t. I’m just not much of a fan of Newt... ;-)
