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.
"They can't quite believe that for two frantic months last fall, caught in a Bermuda Triangle of a campaign, they worked their tails off to try to elect as vice president of the United States someone who, by mid-October, they believed for certain was nowhere near ready for the job, and might never be," Vanity Fair reports.
During the campaign, there were reports of anonymous McCain aides describing Palin, the governor of Alaska, as a "diva" and a "whack job."
The Vanity Fair article recounts how strained Palin's relationship was with the McCain advisers. She maintained "only the barest level of civil discourse" with Tucker Eskew, the operative assigned to be her chief minder, the magazine reports.
She believed Steve Schmidt, McCain's top strategist, had lied to her about conducting polling in Alaska - that was a "belief she conveyed to anyone who would listen," the magazine reported.

If anybody's an expert on blathering, that would be you Cedric.
BTW, I don't see anyone else here on this thread or any other bakcing you up. Looks to me like you're the one who's isolated in his (or her) absurdity.
Hum...
I have been several places in this world and have not heard a damn thing about your integrity...
May want to check with you PR folks for a refund or at least get them back to work...
Who are you to question them...
Mind your place...
Enlisting allies to come and save you YOUVE BEEN HAD.
BWAAAAH HA HA HA HA.
Nah, just wanted a few others to be amused by the fool you have made of yourself.
And amused I am.
Thanks...
I’m fine by myself. I’m strong. I never call for the cavalry. Don’t need to.
Reminds me of a Helen Reddy song.
Rumor? There are too many for coincidence.
Mitt Romney and Team Romney are responsible for Obama’s win
....and America’s loss.
Amusing, I have not had such a good laugh in a while.
Thanks for the ping...
Because Steve Schmidt (as well as Andrew Sullivan), know all about post-partum depression and all things pregnancy.

{Not a Helen Reddy song}
Yes, but circles really don’t go anywhere...
This ej guy is weak.
What a bunch of rotten pukes!
No one should EVER hire these punks again to help with a campaign. They are cowardly backstabbers and turncoats.
Tells us a lot about Mr. and Mrs. McCain, too, doesn’t it?
It only tells us that:
1. The Left fabricated this phony story.
2. They’ll keep reprising it as long as people around here keep falling for it.
Last Halloween I was told by a nice young man in his best Harry Potter garb that I was a powerless muggle and no match for his magic...
I gave it the same credence...
Now, it's time for you to ping a posse for aid and comfort, as you are really not very good at this.
Your only other option is to quit while you're behind.
You also remind me of a river in Eqypt.
