Byron York, Jen Rubin, and Michelle Malkin all have smart takes on the McCain aides' smearing of Sarah Palin. The Anchorage Daily News has a couple videos of Sarah Palin talking to the press after arriving back in Alaska, and it looks like she's more than capable of defending herself, if she thought it was worth her time. Regarding the leaks against her, Palin said:
“If they’re an unnamed source, then that says it all. I won’t comment on anybody’s gossip, or allegations that are based on anonymous sources. That’s kind of a small, evidently bitter type of person who would anonymously charge something foolish like that, that I perhaps didn’t know an answer to a question.
“So until I know who was talking about it, I won’t have a comment on false allegations.”

I care about this Country.
The fact is, McCain/Palin...Lost.
And so shall we be if we take out our grievance on such trivial matters.
I told you this whole damn thing was made up; a big ball of unsourced rumors.
“I won’t comment on anybody’s gossip, or allegations that are based on anonymous sources.”
But Fox News has no such standards. I am extremely disappointed that Brit Hume, director of their news division, let Carl Cameron pass along anonymous gossip as he did. Maybe Hume doesn’t care because he is retiring, but this makes Fox look like the Huffington Post.
I voted for you and not McLame
Love that Sarah. Everything that comes out of her mouth rings true. Imagine if she coulda said what she reallly thought of the bailout! She would have had millions more on our side. But we look ahead, just as your bumper sticker says!
“That’s my girl!”
She’s awesome. I hope she does some kind of sit-down interview soon, I’ll need a Sarah fix before the holidays....
“I care about this Country.”
You actually don’t care about this country if you think it’s OK for this type of political abuse to be going on. America should be better than this, and if people don’t get outraged about the abuse, we’re in for bigger trouble than Hussein.
Those of you who still watch cable news need to keep us updated if her response gets any play.
I care deeply about the Conservative Movement that Gov. Palin sparked and I want it to continue flicker like a flame on a stormy night...
Give em hell Sarah.
Alinsky’s rule number five.
Nice try.
This kind of cattiness and backstabbing have no lace in politics in this country. We need to hold them accountable and make them behave as adults. If they can’t, they have no place in the political arena.
Palin should just handle her business in AK until 2012. She'll have another 4 years of executive experience under her belt, she'll be battle-tested to deal with the vultures in Washington. Picking Palin for VP was the best thing McCain has ever done for conservatives. Now she has name recognition and she has been thoroughly vetted, and will be ready for 2012.
Changing Tagline
I will NEVER vote for another Republican unless he/she is a true conservative. I’ve had it with this kind of crap.
