We all have multiple flaws.

Duh.

One of us ends up being President.

Duh.

You call this article “analysis” ?

[silverleaf]

Nicole Wallace? A “former colleague” of Sarah Palin??

puh-leeze

[Artemis Webb]

Geez I don’t even support a Palin candidacy and I find the views of this former “colleague” to be neck deep BS.

[Bigtigermike]

Nicole Wallace? the same Nicole Wallace of the inept McCain campaign? She is no colleague or friend or acquaintance.....she is nothing more than a hapless “anonymous source” and friend of Katie Couric that was trying to set Sarah Palin up!!!!

[2ndDivisionVet]

This is the RINOette who couldn’t wait 10 seconds after the election to go running to the press about how stupid Gov. Palin is. Her and Steve Schultz are the source for most of the anti-Palin stories of early 2009.

[caver]

So...... in other words, Palin’s multiple flaws can’t even be put into one or a few definitive statements? OK.......

[Texas Eagle]

Did Nicole clear her statements with "headquarters"?

Those who've read Palin's book, "Going Rogue", will know what I'm talking about.

[goat granny]

Sounds like an old GB retread has a green eyed monster whispering in her ear..A former colleague but a GB retread, I don't think they go together....During GW administration, no one heard of Sarah Palin...

[Diogenesis]

Colleague? Give us a break.

FLASHBACK: GOP BACKSTABBING IN 2008

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the "Diva" leak was Nicolle Wallace's husband."

"Go Mitt. Go Mitt."

---

Late in October 2008, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I'm told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin's people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney's former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
... These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

[Don Corleone]

The more they pick on Sarah the more I think of her as “The One”.

[Danae]

Wallace is an establishment hack. She was also removed from Palin’s inner circle because she could not be trusted.

Bubai Nicky.

[DTogo]

...said Mrs Wallace, who was formerly communications director in the George W Bush administration.

= FAIL!

Another plain Jane RINO jealous of Palin?

[Palladin]

Wow! No kidding!

A human being with flaws??

Who wouldda thought?

[Da Coyote]

“Catfight sounds”. Does my “jealousy detect light blink a bit too brightly?”

Sounds like this woman is an epic fail (sorta like our sorry president).

[decimon]

If Palin runs then she’ll run the gauntlet and we’ll see what’s there.

[greene66]

Nicole Wallace? That back-stabbing POS who was spreading lies about Palin before the election even ended? Like Schmidt, Wallace is a pro-gay marriage RINO who does everything she can to harm conservatives.

[Texas Eagle]

.... Mrs Wallace, who was formerly communications director in the George W Bush administration.....

That explains a lot. How did that go again? Read my what? No new what?

[jessduntno]

“Nicolle Wallace, a former colleague of Sarah Palin, has become the latest senior Republican ... “

Another GOP establishment hit ... what else is new?

How did Lisa Moo Cow Ski work out for you idiots?

[rabidralph]

Stop reading this article. The camping episode is on now!

[Diogenesis]

"But the details of the event are more than unseemly — they may, in fact, be illegal.
Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone
from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel
or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the
animal carried thereon." An officer for the Massachusetts Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation
saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer,
Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law
but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck,
and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

"Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch?
Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip
"Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter,
in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack.
e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog," read the article.
Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for.
....What Happens to a Dog on a Roof Traveling 50 MPH?"

---

"Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely
the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea
in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon.
Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. "He scrambled up there every time we went on trips,"
the Republican said during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "He got in all by himself and enjoyed it."

---

"As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon,
keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble.
''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window,
payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust,
Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car,
then hopped back onto the highway."

Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse?
Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron.
But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea,
which ran down the back window of the car. Romney's sons, all under 13, howled in disgust.
Romney pulled off the road into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, and they drove on to Ontario.
.....David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog.
"It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently,
in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever
for the suffering that the solution may cause."
