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.

How stupid does one have to be to believe this??

1. Sarah Palin was raised by TWO school teachers.
2. Sarah Palin was a standout student in elementary and high school.
3. Sarah Palin went to 5 different colleges and has a 4 year degree.
4. Sarah Palin was a business owner, a mayor and a governor.
5. And finally Sarah Palin is a mom. She has one child graduated from high school, one kid about to graduate and three more that are winding their way through the school system. If you're a parent who is even remotely interested in your kids education you would think that the fact that Africa is a continent would have come up at some point.

That Nicole Wallace, with her resume, was on the McCain campaign staff speaks VOLUMES as to why McCain was such a pitiful candidate.

FOX oughta FIRE Queer Carl cameron after his Tirades last night slandering Sarah over hearsay from his”anonymous sources!” Carl was acting like he had just been jilted by his “most recent boyfriend!” No Republican should allow Carl within 1000 yards of earshot of any minor discussions and NEVER near ANYTHING of Importance!

Great question. Frum has not been a friend of conservatives of late, from what I can tell.

Ah. So it wasn’t Mitt. Where are the Mitt/Mormon haters on this thread?

No, it looks like either a cat fight or intentional sabotage. We should probably find out which one it was. But don't hold your breath for an apology to Romney. They'll be here telling us how the Romney people used mind-controlling techniques on Nicolle Wallace to orchestrate her rift with Sarah.

Also, to think that she doesn't know the nations that are part of the NAFTA agreement is utter Bull Crap. She negotiated a pipeline with Canada that was DOA for years.

I don't believe a word of this sh$+

It had been reported that Palin had earlier kicked Wallace off her plane over the wardrobe flap which was supposidly engineered by Wallace. Sounds like there’d be a lot of good material for a skit.

Great find.

MEMO to Sarah Palin: Trust your instincts and get rid of those who aren’t conservative.

NICOLE WALLACE

Nicolle Wallace is a former Bush Administration Communications Director who absolutely hates conservatives.
She is also the staffer who took the heat for the Sarah Palin wardrobe tempest-in-a-teapot. And remember - the wardrobe story was originally leaked by an unidentified McCain staffer.

Nicole and other McCain campaign staff "moderates" "centrists" and Neo-Cons absolutely despised the choice of conservative-populist Sarah over their favored candidates like Ridge, Graham, etc.

Nicole Quote:

"The more that we see kind of the crazies like Ann Coulter out attacking John McCain, the better Republicans feel about their chances in the general election."

This is all so much B.S. It's all McCain's fault. He had all the ammo he needed and chose not to use it.

McCain is an Asshat.

One good thing, Sarah's much tougher than she looks...

I think very few have any idea just how tough.

To: Stand Watch Listen

My thoughts exactly. In a different post I likened Cameron to a bitter little dork or dweeb at a high school relating dirt and smut about a pretty girl who won’t look at him. What, as you said a breathless little weasel he is. If only McCain and his worthless staff had used such vitriol to attack Obama and his fellow villains in the days and months leading up to this pathetic election.

Really I thought Tzipi Livni.
