Parting Shots at Palin
I would have had a hard time believing it, but Sarah Palin is even more stupid and irresponsible than we imagined. She allegedly didn't know which countries were in NAFTA and thought that Africa was a country.

While the press presumably usually have a reason for slanting for or against a particular candidate, I'd be a lot happier if they came out and said what those reasons were, as their absurd coverage of Al Gore during his presidential run have not inclined me to trust their judgment.

But I just do not see the reason for it. What would McCain or anyone have to gain by doing this?
I think the reason to believe the expenses is that the RNC has to disclose what it pays for things. For example, Sarah Palin's makeup artist was the highest paid person on McCain's staff one month. She was paid twice what any policy person on staff was paid.

As far as motivation goes, it seems that the people in question loathed Palin (they basically say as much). Listening to people with a grudge slam someone behind his or her back doesn't seem like the best way to get an accurate, much less balanced, picture of what's been going on.

To be fair, I said "She allegedly didn't know which countries" because I agree - those allegations have not been proven and it's important to separate what you know from what you suspect or what someone has told you.

I have documentation of a reporter with regular and direct access to campaign staffers in direct contact with Palin is saying that they told him something. The evidence isn't as strong as the original digibeta tape of the actual gaffe but it's not nothing either.

Granted, but what is a better way? Asking her own staffers? Sees like we're going to deal with weak credibility ( ... )

Clearly we have the problem with working out IF the republican party should be interested in any of the traditional things that Republcians use to be engaged in, The Military, Foreign Policy, Fiscally Sound Policy, Law and Order.
And remind me where Caribou Barbie fits into any of that???

Anyway, aren't there plenty of valid reasons to oppose her without having to make shit up?

SP came from the christian right movement in the eighties to get people on school boards. She just kept moving up, over the bodies of successive mentors.
