Sarah Palin trashed by members of John McCain's campaign team in Vanity Fair [not again]

Alaska's lipstick-wearing pit-bull is a "Little Shop of Horrors."

That's how one longtime friend and campaign trail companion of John McCain, the vanquished 2008 GOP presidential nominee, described veep nominee Sarah Palin.

In an expansive story in the August edition of Vanity Fair, a slew of senior members of McCain's campaign team told reporter Todd S. Purdum that they suffer a kind of survivor's guilt following the 2008 presidential election.

".I have to wonder how the *bleep* did McCain ever win the Repub nomination"

The Huckster fanning anti-mormonism.

“Can we send McCain back to the ‘Cong?”

I am not a McCain supporter, but your comment is not appropriate for this foru. It is disrespectful, and uncalled for. John McCain served our country honorably and suffered significantly at the hands of the Vet Cong torture masters. Please keep your comments directed to his current political positions and try to be respectful to those who served our Country and suffered at the hands of our enimies.

McCain needs to take these people over his knee. Better yet he needs to man up.

I can't for the life of me imagine going after someone from your own team after an election. It's absurd, tasteless, and shows much character flaw.

BTW... Is your FReepname from the Mogollon Rim? I visited a good friend of mine a few years back. (He lived in the Fountain Hills area.)

We went up and explored the Mogollon Rim in late October and had a ball. Love that area.

43 to %7 against. But then this is New York City Paper’s poll.

Sarah Palin represents America. New York City has become a part of degenerate western Europe.

I have exceeded my self-imposed number of Palin posts for the month.

However, even though I am certainly no cheerleader for Gov. Palin, I will say that if Team McQueeg finds her such a "Little Shop of Horrors" it tends to speak ill of their vetting efforts, or of the judgment of their boss in choosing (and keeping) such a person for the ticket.

But NYC has never been like the rest of the United States, any more than Paris is like the rest of France.

Of course there is. But the incident is not as described. Remember the guy who stood up and said "I'm mad. I'm really mad..." very forcefully. There was applause from the audience and laughter and McCain starts to respond when the guy starts to speak again and they are talking over each other.

McCain: Go ahead.

Man: Let me finish, please.

McCain: Yes, sir!

The audience laughs.

McCain chuckles and says "Exccuuse me." and lets the man finish.

Looky here.

Ironic...as McCain actually IS a “diva” and a “whack job”.

Thanks, MM.

I knew right there the campaign was lost. McCain would not confront Obama on anything.

Even the gift of Joe the Plumber, he squandered.

The campaign leaders for McCain were despicable, pro-Obama losers. Had Palin not interjected some life into McStupid’s moribund campaign, he would have lost by another 10-12 million votes.

I’ll not forgive McLoser for giving us Obama. There was too much at stake.

And the last thing that belies the premise of the article: Joe Biden as a VP was dumber, less qualified, and was covered for by the MSM for all his gaffes.

Funny, I don’t remember any Palin gaffes.

She’s President No. 45. And if the GOP doesn’t think so, we’ll do it without them.

Without Palin, McCain’s “campaign” would have looked like a slow march to the gallows.

Sadly, I doubt that she can win as a 3rd party candidate.

Oh, c’mon. Surely Sen. Dole ran a worse campaign than McCain. I can hardly remember him running at all...

Vanity Fair is nothing more than the incoherent scribblings of the gay mafia. The homosexual crowd abhors anything that is good and pure because it casts a light of reality upon them.

That’s true. It was controlled by the British during the Revolution. But each year it becomes less and less “American”.

I would suggest folks email comments in to the GOP like I just did—we don’t need to be trashing our own—the media and dems are doing fine job of that.

I told GOP NO $ ever if this continues. I am now going to call McCain’s office as well.

Has anyone taken a second to look at the NY Daily News site? It looks to be a real honest to goodness, fair hard news site. NOT. On the right hand side is the following:

Sarah Palin in the City
GOP veep nominee Sarah Palin is in New York for a crash course in foreign policy.

Below that is a picture of a whore with plastic breasts wearing glasses being called a Palin look alike.

Next is
Who’s leading the GOP?
In the aftermath of Obama’s landslide victory, the GOP has had to quickly remake the party’s image. This features a pic of Sarah and Rush.

Next is a cartoon with Sarahs head on it for what looks to be a joke or a game called Shopping With Palin “Click here to give Palin a $150,000 makeover”.

Thats why everyone turns to the NY Daily News when they want good hard news.
