Our own Republican blogger whereabouts is calling for some honesty in regards to the Palin pick from her fellow Republicans. However, admitting error is something many republicans don't want to do.
Now, Aside from the fact that she is a moron, that she beleives that humans and dinosaurs co-existed, that she had the only town in Alaska as mayor that had a rule to charge women for their own rape kits, and that McCain's own campaign insiders are calling her "Clueless", What is her effect on the campaign? Can you say sinking ship?
And now, it's not just the bloggers who are saying something is wrong with her. The conservative columists and media have some issues too...
While some journalists say privately they are censoring
their comments about Palin to avoid looking like they're piling on,
pundits on the right are jumping ship. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough says Palin "just seems out of her league." National Review Editor Rich Lowry called her performance "dreadful." Dallas Morning News columnist Rod Dreher described the interview as a "train wreck." Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker urged Palin to quit the race, saying: "If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself."
The
interview is drawing extraordinary attention because of the McCain
campaign's calculated decision to shield Palin from reporters. No
vice-presidential nominee in modern history has been this inaccessible
to the media, reinforcing the perception that she can't hit
major-league pitching. When the networks balked at recording Palin's
photo ops with foreign leaders at the U.N. last week unless journalists were allowed in -- and a CNN producer was
granted access for all of 29 seconds -- the no-press dictum degenerated
into farce. [WaPo]
But hey, she makes for some great SNL skits. I think Tina Fey may be the greatest political enemy of the McBush Camp at this point!
Thx for this post again James!
