What a top aide to Sarah Palin really thinks about Mitt Romney,Bristol Palin,Erick Erickson and more
The Daily Caller ^ | May 24, 2011 | Jonathan Strong

Posted on 05/23/2011 10:16:48 PM PDT by Bratch

A series of messages forwarded to The Daily Caller show a top aide to former Alaska Gov. and possible presidential candidate Sarah Palin mocking top political figures and even her boss’s own daughter, Bristol Palin.

RedState.com founder and CNN contributor Erick Erickson is “a total douchebag,” wrote Palin speechwriter and domestic policy adviser Rebecca Mansour in a May 22, 2010, message. “Greasy dumb ass with a talent for self-promotion. He threw himself in at the Gov’s SC rally. Self-promotion.” (Erickson said South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley invited him to the rally).

Mitt Romney supporters are “wacky as hell,” Mansour wrote, but usually Romney’s presence online is just an “AstroTurf brigade.”

“Would love to tell Mitt’s lackeys to stop backstabbing my boss anonymously,” Mansour wrote.

Then-California Senate candidate Chuck DeVore “wants to be the next Hugh Hewitt (or Huckabee). He knows he can’t win. He wants to become a ‘personality’. Give him a show to go away,” Mansour wrote. Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina over DeVore in the GOP primary for the race, angering some conservatives.

Mansour sent these embarrassing and revealing missives as “direct messages” on Twitter to an online-only acquaintance approximately a year ago. The person who received the messages forwarded them to TheDC.

I agree with your post wholeheartedly!!! Palin’s camp has been one if not the best tightly zipped political teams in long while! A story today, quoted Republicans saying that they have no clue what Palin or her staff is up too -nada. They don’t leak strategy , they don’t leak who they hire (others do that) ....etc

So what RAM did probably was the weakest link and other than the Bristol stuff, everything else wasn’t that bad

Thanks! I just looked. Doesn’t excuse Mansour for betraying Sarah’s confidence regarding family matters. The other stuff is Mansour’s opinion and I could not possibly care less about that.

Remember to get *some* sleep...lol. Our HERO BIBI addresses Congress at 11:00AM your time and he’s going to speak the unvarnished truth!

I think there have certainly been a couple big leaks...there’s the book coming out from her former aid, and there’s the in-house emails, and I feel like we’re forgetting some other incidents... but yes, it’s notable that nobody knows her next move, even though she’s telegraphed it with that “fire in her belly” and whatnot.

What’s notable is, nobody would care about tweets or emails from someone in any other politicians camp.

She’s probably wise to hold off announcing until these attempts to scare her out of the race blow over. I’d like a Flag Day announcement.

I didn’t see anything confidential here, really.

I think RAM thought she was talking to a friend, and that friend decided to betray her for who knows what reason.

There’s nothing newsworthy there either. Just the DC trying to embarrass RAM and BigBoss (I like that)...but really, where’s the substance?

Did RAM say things that would pertain to the Governor’s competence? Did she reveal any plans?

No. She was talking for herself like she usually does on Twitter. Her opinions are her own.

The fact that the DC thought that RAMs personal thoughts were newsworthy says more about the DC than it does RAM, who privately was sharing thoughts that I and others share publicly on C4P all the time.

I don't care how close or in Palins circle this supposedly came from...it's still he said she said none-sense...and it has no significance.

Why is Rosie O'Donnell the head policy adviser to Palin?

What kind of person makes fun of their bosses kid?

Well at least she didn’t say Obama was clean and articulate. Or call NYC ‘hymie town’.

None of us are head advisers to Palin.

It doesn't matter what we say... The media won't report it if we make fun of Palin's kids.

When this moron makes fun of Palin's kids behind her back they will.

It’s a whole new world...well not so new now, but people on-line, even on FR, have intimate/detailed conversations. It’s a fact of life. She was stupid in that she shared things about her ‘boss’ who just happens to be a well known figure. She should have used a fake ID (the fact that she didn’t indicates that she wanted to be thought of as important imo)

Anyway, I didn’t see anything there that can hurt Palin. They were only observations and this woman’s opinion. No biggie.

The Bristol stuff is wrong. Everything else is fair game. Period. Countless others have done the same thing. The only thing that's getting everyone's panties in a twist is this is Sarah. And the MSM will treat it like no one has EVER said bad things about other politicians ever.

Come on. The American people are smarter than that. I thought freepers were too.

Yep.

This person needs to be fired YESTERDAY. Nothing wrong with insulting Romney but insulting your bosses daughter and a popular conservative blogger & TV personality who could help boost your bosses profile?

She did something to damage Palin's reputation by acting dumb.

Get a professional.

Who cares? Embarrassing? I'v said alot worse than that, and I'd make a better president than O'Bunghole!

It's like watching the Liberal Loser Limbo.... How LOW can you GO??!!"

These vermin have descended all the way down to making attacks against "something someone who works for Sarah allegedly "Tweeted" to an anonymous 'online account' at some point in the past."

WOWZA!! WWOOAAAWWWZZZZAAAHHHH!!!!!!

Golly, Batman, it looks like Sarah's REALLY a GONER this time, huh? Boy, howdy! And HOW!!

LMAO

The feebs and simps just keep proving how terrified they are. Sarah must be getting close to announcing her candidacy. This is real good news!

8^D

Wrong.

If you work in politics your #1 job is promote your boss. #2 is don't screw up.

This idiot ran out and insulted the bosses kid behind her back.

The media can run with that. That shows disloyalty. You have to fire her.

She also insulted Erickson who played a large role in the 2010 elections. 2nd only to Palin.

Palin needs to remove her.

Pretty sure Sarah will deal with the Bristol stuff. Everything else is part of the game, regardless of who they are. Funny how ‘guilt by association’ only applies to conservatives, though.

lmao!!

Regarding making fun of the boss’s kids...I would ask: who hasn’t made fun of the boss’s kids?

Guilt by association?

So are you saying that this never even happened? That is delusional.

This just made it harder for Palin if she is thinking about running.
