Nicole's Knifework (David Frum Identifies the anti-Palin Leaker)
National Review ^ | November 6, 2008 | David Frum

Posted on 11/06/2008 9:11:40 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

Wow -that is some savage cutting & gutting that Nicole Wallace has just performed upon Sarah Palin. Nicole & I crossed swords once, during the Harriet Miers nomination battle. Watching what Nicole can do when she is seriously annoyed, I am grateful that I got away from that fight with nothing worse than a few bumps and bruises ....

That said: Some of these stories do not ring quite true to me, especially the story about Palin allegedly not realizing that Africa was a continent rather than a country. Apparently she did not grasp that "South Africa" was not the same thing as "southern Africa." But there a lot of possible innocent explanations for a mistake like that.

A pic of this Nicole would be nice, and would help us remember who she is when she goes on TV.

Nicole sounds like a serious bitch.

Was it her looks, Nicole?

I could have sworn Nicole was on TV defending Palin on the clothing purchases.

She’s a very ineffective spokesperson.

Frum claims Nicole Wallace is at fault?

Why should we believe Frum?

"Moderate" Republicans demanded (and were given) carte blanche opportunity to demonstrate, once and for all, that they knew how to win at the national level, this year.

They got exactly the candidate they wanted. They got exactly the party platform they demanded. The campaign was run exactly the way they insisted it be run.

How'd that end up working out for us, again...?

They actually managed to lose to a one-term Senate Marxist with open and unapologetic terrorist ties. The ONLY thing I want to hear from Team McCain or any of its shrill little online apologists, from this day forward, is a meek and contrite: "We're sorry."

They have nothing else worthwhile what. so. EVER. to contribute to any meaningful discussion, re: either conservatism or winning electoral strategies.

It was the late-added presence of SARAH which energized an otherwise moribund and apathetic conservative voting base.

It was SARAH who drew record-shattering crowds, everywhere she went on behalf of a sour and ungrateful McCain campaign.

Friendly little word of warning to any/all RINOs out there reading this, and thinking about standing in the way between this woman and the conservative base that adores her, anytime during the next four years:

You're expendable to us. SHE isn't.

Nicole is a close friend of Katie Couric and they used to work together. She is the one who insisted that Sarah do three interviews with Katie Couric.

She also vetoed any TV appearances on Jay Leno, MTP, Larry King, or Bill O’Reilly.

They told O’Reilly that Sarah Palin could only appear on his show if John McCain was sitting next to her.

Didn’t McCain fire the guy who went after Nicole Wallace on this. What was his name? Starts with an “S.”
