McCain Adviser: Palin’s a ‘Whack Job’

By

After several days of internecine finger-pointing and name-calling within the McCain campaign, Politico’s Mike Allen reports that an adviser in the McCain faction stepped up the attack on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s faction. From today’s edition of The Playbook:

***In convo with Playbook, a top McCain adviser one-ups the priceless “diva” description, calling her “a whack job.”

Now, I’m not a political strategist, but I’m pretty sure calling your own vice presidential candidate a “whack job” is a bit too mavericky even for the McCain campaign. Something tells me this won’t be particularly helpful in convincing people to put Palin one heartbeat away from the presidency.

This is perhaps one of the stupidest and most unprofessional things I’ve ever seen. Someone ought to remind the McCain campaign that the election is not officially over yet. There will be plenty of time for casting blame and writing tell-all books after Nov. 4.

In the meantime, the McCain team might want to pretend it still has a chance of winning this election — even if it doesn’t believe it.

So why isn't Fox news reporting this! After all they are screaming at the top of their lungs that they are not bias and in the tank for Mccain! This is a real big story! Much better than releaseig a lie that a mccain worker was attack and marked with a B on her face! Than have to apologize for a lie! At least this one is the trueh. But than they aren't in the habit of reporting the trueth.

Kim this has already been reported on other sights! the washington Post didn't break the news, or even report it first. so to call them bias is just wrong. In camp arguements had already started in the Mccain camp and had already been reported on cnn, Msnbc======only the bias Fox channel has not reported it, and they rarely report something against mccain, especially Hannity unless it just can't be passed up. These people are suppose to report the news, and that is what they are doing. If you don'lt like it, read some where alse. I don't like Fox, so I rarely watch them. Not that I don't like them, I don'lt truest them for real,fair, and balanced news! Hannity is like watching the jerry springer show any more! And Brown is simply angry all the time. She shouts over her guest as does others on fox.
