"Diva", to "Whackjob", to "Ignoramus"...

Unnamed Mccain staff continue to raise the bar on trashing Palin.
This seems unprecedented for this point in a campaign.
I say there is at least one book, and probably a movie, in this.

I’m sympathetic to Eskew and Wallace, and not just because they’re decent people. They’ve held their tongue from leaking what a couple of McCain higher-ups have told me—namely, that Palin simply knew nothing about national and international issues. Which meant, as one such adviser said to me: “Letting Sarah be Sarah may not be such a good thing.” It’s a grim binary choice, but apparently it came down to whether to make Palin look like a scripted robot or an unscripted ignoramus. I was told that Palin chafed at being defined by her discomfiting performances in the Couric, Charlie Gibson, and Sean Hannity interviews. She wanted to get back out there and do more. Well, if you’re Eskew and Wallace, what do you say to that? Your responsibility isn’t the care and feeding of Sarah Palin’s ego; it’s the furtherance of John McCain’s quest for the presidency.

5. Shrill voice, lip smacking, non-sentence pronunciations, pause after each stupid statement...

This was obvious to anybody that looked at her even before you tried to decipher what she was really saying.
Rightwing nut all the way, including the total ignorance of real issues.

6. These are the first shots being fired on Fort Palin

In the coming Republican Civil War. The non-religiously insane wing of the party must discredit her immediately, or they will lose control to the fundies.

I hope they fail. I want Palin and the nutjobs to take over, it will put the Republicans in a permanent minority as social moderates will desert them. They would never be a national party again.

9. "Diva", to "Whackjob", to "Ignoramus"...could be used to describe any number of "conservative"

radio and t.v. personalities. That's why, at the RNC, Palin sounded so much like one of them. She IS one of them!

10. To...eventually...'Sarah who?'
