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.
Sheesh!!The Oligarchy is unloading on her!!
She’s right over the target...wherever she is!!
He does work in mysterious ways.
If she picks him as VP -- which she won't -- sure, but he picked her as VP candidate and nobody objects to a little loyalty or consideration for somebody who's already on his way out, as McCain is.
Anyway, it's hardly her biggest problem.
It’s strange, the contents of the manuscript are an “untruth” and reporting the story of the leak is a fabricated hit piece, that is, until Gingrich gets nailed in it. Hmmm....
It is a selective process. Are you still trying to make sense out of it?
Yes, unfortunately.
I quit trying.
I’d call you a quitter but you were “forced” to, so it’s not your fault! :)
Nah, I am trying to save my sanity. Wackiness abounds lately in all fronts. There is no normalcy. Just extremes.
I’ll take a pretty populist over an arrogant, elitist populist, any day; but I think Mrs. Palin is more than that.
I was joking...;)
Oh, we can still joke? LOL Usually that gets me viciously attacked:^)
Good point, some people seem to want that banned....
Every once in awhile I make a stab at a good one...and then I run. Take a day off until the indignation abates. ROTFL!
How dare you make a joke! EVAR!
LOL. I am behaving.
TROLL!
“The problem with Newt Gingrich, for me, is that he is an elitist. He’s very intelligent, but he keeps trying to rub our noses in the fact that he thinks he’s smarter than the rest of us”
Which is fine, if he’s gonna be a private citizen and write books. But it isn’t so shrewd for a politician.
You just don't like Sarah Palin, do you NS?
Keep it up, newbie, and your stay here will be short.
