Suggestion to the spineless Republican jackals (and Fox News) who were spreading National Enquirer drivel about Sarah Palin: STFU. I agree with American Thinker's Clarice Feldman:
"We supported John McCain and his running mate,Sarah Palin, and are sorely disappointed at the cattiness toward Sarah by McCain's staff that's making its way to the press.There's only one way to end this and protect the reputation of the person who brought so much to the ticket:McCain must definitively and decisively publicly contradict these reports and do it now!"
Baldilocks calls for McCain to put a stop to the smearing here. Sarah Palin is correct that these folks are mean-spirited, cowardly, unprofessional jerks. It's a sad and telling postscript to McCain's lackluster campaign, which Sarah Palin almost singlehandedly resuscitated.
Who were these cowardly gossipers? Some blogs point to Mitt Romney staffers. Others point to McCain's chief strategist, Steve Schmidt, and to Nicolle Wallace, a former Bush aide. We don't know who they are, but as Ace of Spades says, "So step out into the spotlight. You've got a lot to say. Stand behind your f*cking words." Red State started Operation Leper to find out who the leakers are and make them political lepers.
God speed to Ms. Palin and her family. She embodies America's values of individual liberty, self-reliance and resourcefulness. I hope we see much more of her in the future.
P.S. Flopping Aces has a way to say "Thank You" to Sarah Palin, go here to send your greetings.
There will be a bit of infighting as the Repubs go through this cleansing process.
Hopefully, McCain and his zombies can be shunted aside and we can just get back to that old winning formula: Hard-core conservativism backed by Judeo-Christian values.
