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.

Nicole is a close friend of Katie Couric and they used to work together. She is the one who insisted that Sarah do three interviews with Katie Couric.

Done in by RINOs. F'n A. Well, to hell with the RINOs. Give us SARAH!

I am seeking digital photos of Sarah Palin for a new web site I am setting up in appreciation of her. These need to be available for use without copyright restrictions - preferably taken by those who own the photos and who are willing to grant permission for their use.

Please send me a private message and I will provide an e-mail address.

"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."

This is a knife fight and she’s gong to have to choose carefully.

This is the second act of the drama. Reagan got similar treatment between 1968 and 1980. Wasn't mainstream enough, they said, among other things. Political fads come and go, but good old Constitutional liberty is timeless. If she chooses to continue this, the work will be tough, and will take time and unimagined skill. But she will eventually come out on top, in an unassailable position. This is because even though this may be a knife fight, the supporters, like me, all have shotguns.

Digging thru the links, I found some quotes from Wallace. Notice these gems:

"There's obviously an organized campaign to lay blame for things at my feet and I'm not going to engage before the campaign ends.

Indeed. You waited a scant 12 hours after your heroes acceptance speech.

I have a very long relationship with Fox News,

Do tell.

Hey, it’s why I didn’t join a sorority!

The MSM operates much like rush week in college when new people are introduced to the political arena.

My apologies to all the Greeks that will disagree, I am using steroetypes of course.

I lived in South Africa for a couple of years with my parents. When I tell people that (educated Americans) 90% will ask “what Country?” They act like I said South America or East Europe. Mrs. Palin, God Bless her, is no different than most other Americans.

I truly think she is hoping for a career with the MSM -- maybe back at CBS with Katie.

These dregs know what side their bread's buttered on, which way the wind's blowing, etc. I say take names. Kick ass later.

Besides Wallace, I’d love to see FoxNews say “goodbye” to Carl Cameron. “Campaign Carl” just seems too gleeful at spreading this “anonymous source” cr*pola.

We should be careful not to attack another Republican unless we know for sure who it is. The Left has been lying and playing us for a while now.

Yes. Yes they have. Just like a fiddle they been doin' it.

Yes, and they've been doing it for a long time. I didn't want the first President Bush to pick Dan Quayle as his running mate, because I knew the press wold rip him to shreds. I was in public when it was announced and had to excuse myself, I was so upset.

I thought it would go better with Governor Palin because of her fantastic personality and because after Quayle, Republicans and the McCain campaign would be better prepared regarding how to handle it. Our side really does have to learn from this kind of thing.

Do Republicans really need these people working for them? The only talent these people apparently have is to secure defeat.

With working for Couric on her resume, I’m surprised they hired her to begin with.
