Greta Van Susteren Rips Politico For Alleging She Advises Palin: A "Hit And Run"
Greta Van Susteren Rips Politico For Alleging She Advises Palin: A "Hit And Run"



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/29/greta-van-susteren-rips-i_n_180465.html

Old friends of Sarah Palin think her new, inexperienced advisers are doing the governor harm, Politico reported Sunday.

Interviews with Alaska and Washington-based GOP political professionals who are familiar with the Palin operation describe the governor's team as a gang that couldn't shoot straight, a staff whose failure to execute basic political maneuvers too often entangles the governor in awkward and embarrassing situations that could have easily been avoided.

Fox News host Greta van Susteren and her husband, John Coale, came in for particular scrutiny. Coale helped Palin put together a Political Action Committee, and Politico quoted a "former Palin ally still in touch with the governor" saying that one of Palin's key missteps since the election was "Taking advice from Greta and her husband."

On Sunday, Van Susteren responded on her blog, calling the article false and "silly" and calling out Politico reporter Jonathan Martin: "What is even more bizarre is that it is co-authored by Jonathan Martin who has been ON THE RECORD at 10pm and he never even called me to check one fact with me. Here is a picture of Jonathan Martin in case you have forgotten him from his many appearances on our show. ... Fact checking seems to be a lost art."

2. Exactly...
...and just like a roach, Van Susteren makes my skin crawl.

The blatant "Sarah & Todd Groupie" tone of her so-called "reporting" is now coming into question. So sad. so very, very sad. Get over it, Greta.

:patriot:

3. "The lady doth protest too much"
Will be interesting to see if Jonathan Martin follows up on this. Susteren is sounding a bit like Jim "I didn't say buy Bear Stearns" Cramer. Hope Martin has the goods on her.

Van Susteren also defended her husband's work, saying he merely "helped with the PAC ... big deal." from huff post

6. I'll just leave this here
Suffice to say, I think Greta and her husband are not strictly on the up and up. First rule of scientology, They Lie.

This thread on WWP has more on the scientology connection:

http://forums.whyweprotest.net/15-media/scieno-coale-pa... /



Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is a front-running candidate, for the 2012 Republican presidential primaries.

Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, has done numerous profiles of Palin.
Greta is a ranking Scientologist, as is her husband (and OT) John P. Coale.

The Washington Post has reported, John Coale is involved with Sarah Palin's 2012 political action committee.



(word of warning, anon sites can be a little profane, not for the squeamish or delicate of constitution.)

Just makes me wonder what they and Fox news are doing up there in AK, cosying up to Sarah. Especially with Fox harassing bloggers ( http://rawstory.com/news/2008/AntiPalin_bloggers_Fox_Ne... ) and bloggers getting outed and all.
