Shiny Object Diverts GOP’s Attention, Again
While we’re out here making calls to congress about the energy bill, and insisting members support real health care reform, another shiny object has diverted the GOP, or what was once the GOP. This time it is a trumpeted article in Vanity Fair about the failed McCain/Palin Presidential Campaign. Apparently, there is much bitterness now that they have finally discovered what we knew to be true all along. Rather than waste fresh words, let me once again simply paste in a tid-bit from our fair and balanced source about the sources discussing sources.
From the ‘article’ titled:
Palin Vanity Fair Article Reignites Feud Among Former Campaign Aides
…The article also claims that top aides worried about Palin’s “mental state” during the campaign — with some suggesting Palin was suffering from postpartum depression following the recent birth of her son, Trig.
On Tuesday, editor of The Weekly Standard Bill Kristol — who once served as an informal adviser to McCain — accused former campaign manager Steve Schmidt of spreading the idea to other campaign aides.
“In fact, one aide who raised this possibility in the course of trashing Palin’s mental state to others in the McCain-Palin campaign was Steve Schmidt,” Kristol wrote in his magazine blog posted Tuesday.
But Schmidt vehemently denied the charge Tuesday and lambasted Kristol for his work as chief of staff to former Vice President Dan Quayle.
“I’m sure John McCain would be president today if only Bill Kristol had been in charge of the campaign,” Schmit reportedly wrote in an e-mail to Politico.
“After all, his management of [former Vice President] Dan Quayle’s public image as his chief of staff is still something that takes your breath away,” Schmidt continued.
