Holy Shit! Palin report by Faux News Chief Carl Cameron on O'Reily Factor is a killer!!.

[DCBob]

Reports from McCain aides on Sarah Palin:

-- She did not understand basic civic principles
-- She did not know what NAFTA is or even the nations involved.
-- She did not know basic geography, i.e. thinks Africa is a country
-- She did not understand the idea of American exceptionalism and that US is expected to be a world leader.
-- She blamed Nicole Wallace for interview problems.
-- She threw tantrums after reading press clippings, threw papers, so nasty and vicious she caused staff to come to tears.
-- Walked around in hotel in a bathrobe with McCain staff in her room.
-- She was a shopaholic.

There was more. Unbelievable. Major blame game and meltdown between Palin and McCain staff.

Updated.

1. Fun, but where's the link? n/t

[DCBob]

5. It was just on Faux. I am sure there will be an article on this soon.

It was totally devastating.

[Dennis Donovan]

10. Here's Cameron's earlier report on Faux News:

:wow:

[crispini]

16. Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Can't wait to hear all the dirt.

[JBoy]

53. Wow, that's good watching! Love this YouTube comment:

"I can thank Sarah for one thing only: when they brought her nutjob, wolf killing, Jesus freakazoid, insult to women ass onto their platform, it motivated me to volunteer for the Obama campaign. I did phone banking, went to Nevada and gave them as much money as I could.
Thanks, Sarah! Now GO AWAY"

[Lucy Goosey]

63. Oh wow - that's wonderful!

[Cha]

66. Wow~ That's pretty much how I feel about

her only I was already an Obama supporter.

[mtnsnake]

2. and the can of worms is barely starting to open

This is simply too fun!

[nickyt]

9. Hell, it ain't even been 24 HOURS yet, and this can is wormy as hell!

What will we know this time next WEEK?! Mercy!

[Adsos Letter]

3. Tantrums?

...oh, that's some film I'd like to see... :rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

13. I hope the Dingy Diva reads DU!

She could really have some meltdowns after reading
some of the prose on these pages!

:rofl:

[BuelahWitch]

38. On another note: I feel SO SORRY for her children

A woman with five kids and I'll bet they are the Mommy most of the time. Maybe that's why the oldest girl got pregnant, so she could get married and get the hell away from Sarah...

[Kajsa]

86. I feel sorry for them, too.

At every public appearance they made, they
did not look happy at all.

What a difference from Malia and Sasha!!

:)- I love those two girls.

I really feel for Palin's kids.

:(

[CrispyQ]

90. I noticed that too.

Those kids did not look happy. Oh sure, they had the obligatory smiles when they were posing, but when they were just in the background, they did not have happy faces. Such a contrast to Obama's little girls, who were beaming constantly!

[XemaSab]

4. I likee

:D

Oh: and you forgot meeting with senior aides wearing only a towel. :banghead:

[immoderate]

20. Can't fault her for that. She just got out of the shower.

You think she should have dropped the towel?

Remember, Lyndon Johnson used to talk to aides and reporters while on the toilet.

--IMM

[Bravo Zulu]

31. LBJ,

is a lot prettier than SP!

[Berry Cool]

44. LOL! I'm picturing that "Desperate Housewives" promo with Terrell Owens

Too funny!!!!

[Liberal Gramma]

70. But not aides of the opposite sex

She doesn't know how to act. Another Bush.

[madaboutharry]

6. A shopaholic with other peoples' money.

This is what is important to know about her: She skated through life on her appearance and public charm. No one ever expected anything more of her. No one actually demanded she know anything.

[Ilsa]

34. And she was trying to sell herself as a frugal wife and mother.

Can you imagine how she'd try to divert budget to enrich herself and her friends?

[CPschem]

36. thanks. i liked this comment...

"Is she back home on Putin-Watch yet ??"
:spray:

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

89. Thanks for the link to Carl speaking with Billo, I had only seen Carl's......

...other report he gave as a news story...But it seems Carl was bursting with excitement, now able to share the secret he's been keeping to himself all these weeks.

[Arugula Latte]

8. Wow. She and Dubya are a match made in Heaven, no?

[nam78_two]

51. She is Dubya and Cheney rolled into one loathesome package.nt

[Thegonagle]

78. Throw a dash of Condi Rice on top (to explain the "visual appeal") and that's it to a T. - nt

[FLAprogressive]

11. If this gets spread...."Palin 2012" will die before it even begins

[Kahuna]

21. Psst! We don't want it to die....

Let the repukes keep talking her up for 2012.

[merh]

69. No, they get something stuck in their little minds and they

will not stop - Palin is worse than GWB, they have time to groom her and we don't want them to take that time. Kristol still supports her. She has the "mind" of GWB with the evil, no conscious, socialpathic heart of Cheney.

Let's not let them have her, let's not give them time to perfect her.

[AZBlue]

80. I agree, but she's done. She's pissed off WAY too many people within the RNC.

[fishwax]

12. let the circular firing squad begin

:rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

14. To be honest, I was wondering if McCain was even going to mention her last night.

He did, but it was with gritted teeth.

[rufus dog]

15. The best one was the interview problems

They prepped her for the Gibson interview then Wallace got her the Couric interview but Palin refused prep, then blamed Wallace. Some McCain staffers admitted the questions weren't that tough probably pissing off the Frontier Tart even more.

That to me is a true window into Sarah, doesn't know shit, but it is the fault of others.

[Glimmer of Hope]

17. More please!

[Blue For You]

18. McCain was truly a fool for hitching this woman to his wagon...

ahh, I mean Straight Talk Express. Also explains McCain's pissy attitude during certain interviews and debates. He was having Sarah probs. LOL!

[Kahuna]

27. "McCain's Folly." Let history record that. nt

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

76. There was a link to a very revealing New Yorker story about the Palin choice

Billy Kristol and a couple of other Reichwing pundits (Fred Barnes was one, IIRC) basically told McCain he couldn't have Moldy Joe under any circumstances, were much enamored with the Moose Princess and basically shoved her down his throat.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

87. yes, and that a bunch of National Review journos wanted to bone Palin

she got to be shortlisted.

[Abugface]

19. It's going to be fun watching the Palins desintegrate ...

and the RW whackos come to their defense while that party stalwarts tear them apart - all on prime time on TV. Guaranteed to be the best reality show of the year.

[tanyev]

58. O.M.G. I bet they do a reality show.

Right after Alaska comes to its senses and kicks her out of the governor's mansion.

[cbc5g]

22. SCAPEGOAT TIME!!!! lol

[Marsala]

23. Davis fired Scheunemann because he spread the rumors about Wallace

Scheunemann was the source of the rumors about Nicole Wallace being behind the $150,000 shopping spree. That was a lie Scheunemann made to curry favor with Palin. Disgusting.

[bushisanidiot]

24. Ooooo! juicy! where's the popcorn??

yee haw, this part of winning is fun. ;)

[eshfemme]

25. Just watch the Republicans fall more deeply in love with her

even with all this BS coming out in the open.

And wow... Nicole Wallace-- I actually feel badly for her. She got thrown under the bus for the $150K+ shopping spree but if the reports are true, she basically only asked for 3 suits and a stylist which Palin just took as carte blanche to take the Republicans for all their money's worth. It's basically the whole "If you give a mouse a cookie" BS except not funny and totally uncool.

Also... she's even fucking worse than Bush! At least Bush seems to have taken the bad news without tantrums-- it's just that he'd go into denial. Palin apparently just skips over that into blame everyone else under the sun but herself mode. WTF? Did she expect the aides to fucking change reality for her after reading all the bad press? Could they do anything about the pettiness she already exhibited when she fired Walt Monegan for refusing to be an accomplice in her personal vendetta against her ex-BIL? WTF?

Seriously, I'm really thinking that she's a sleeper agent sent by the AIP except since the AIP is fairly incompetent and ignorant, that's why she's so fucking retarded. Seriously? Seriously! WTF? WTF!

All this new confirmed gossip is actually keeping me hooked on the political news. Bad for trying to get over my addiction and increasing my productivity.

[renate]

85. one funny thing (among many) about what you said....

The version of the story that we have is actually "If You Give a Moose a Muffin."

I also got a giggle out of your sleeper agent theory. :rofl:

And your last line rings a bell for me, too. I really thought the end of the election would give me a couple more hours in the day... not yet.

[olegramps]

88. Palin is the epitome of "Put a beggar on horseback and they will ride it to death."

[RainDog]

26. WHhoOP!

let the fights begin.

we'll see who ends up in control of the republican party.

I appreciate all who have the fortitude to watch Fox and other slaughterhouses and report back here. merci

[pdxmom]

28. And this is what the Repuke base admires and wants to lead the

party?? Well folks, be prepared to stay in the WH for a very, very, very long time, based on this judgment.

[mascarax]

29. The fingerpointing and behind the scenes

stuff from the McCain campaign is gonna be interesting.

That Faux is out there the day after with this just shows how much she's ticked off certain people and how they are out to squash her.

Good. I want her to go away and never, ever be considered for anything in the national spotlight again (or Alaska either!).

[opihimoimoi]

30. The Price of Shopping "Pretty"...sometimes ya get what ya wish for....she was PRETTY BIG TWOUBLES

Twice as Big as TROUBLE....?

The Double Trouble Queen of PAIN.....

She Became The MANTIS from WaSILLiss with DeCapitating Bites....

McCain?....

He went heads over heels and .....eventually lost his head he did.....

Worse than Queen of Mean, and/or Cruella of Fla, this Mantis drools with gluttony.

[TeamJordan23]

32. PLEASE SOMEONE POST A VIDEO.

thanks

[Hellataz]

81. This is hilarious! I almost hope she does run in 2012 just to see how she is on her own

Without smart handlers and people holder her back and educating her on what not to say, I can't wait to see her 2012 campaign, it will be a train wreck and a hilarious one at that.

[meow mix]

33. nice. they did say they vetted her right?

:shrug:

[Doctor_J]

35. Yep, real presidential timbre

God, Republicans are stoopid

[Az_lefty]

37. you just had to know this would come out quickly if they lost....

[Berry Cool]

41. NOW it all comes out!!

Imagine if the country had been stuck with this harpy as VP!!!!

What a book this is all going to make!!!!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

42. My guess is a whole lot of people who didn't vote for Obama are going to glad he was elected...

[DCBob]

46. No shit. Even Republicans have to be shocked by this...

The possibility that she could have been VP or even President is frightening.

[burythehatchet]

43. Imelda Marcos

[Quixote1818]

45. WOW!!! This is better than anything Soap Opera writers could dream up!

Looks like they have ready made TV show here!

[DCBob]

49. Sarah the movie must be in the works.

[nomaco-10]

47. It was fabulous. They're eating their own they can't even ...

wait for the circular firing squad to take formation. Hilarious. Really. Hilarious.

Should be on you tube soon. Catch it if you didn't see it.

[Phred42]

48. SURE - NOW he comes out of the Closet

Phucking coward

[WindRiverMan]

50. The wheels on the bus go round and round

round and round
round and round...

[nomaco-10]

52. yeah, right up until they fall off. lmao

[ecstatic]

54. poor mccain. How could he have known a sitting governor could be so unqualified?

Seriously? I think he picked her quickly, assuming that she must have been really bright based on her fast rise to power.

[Laelth]

55. The money interests don't want her to take control of the party.

The rich, pro-business, corporatist Republics know she could destroy the party if she becomes the nominee for President in 2012. They want Romney, or anyone but Palin.

Personally, I want Palin to be the Republic nominee. Obama will destroy her in 2012. She will take the whole Republic Party down with her.

Go, Sarah, go! We should help her, if we can.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

:dem:

[Doityourself]

56. She's dumber than a box of hair...

[mikiturner]

57. DIGG IT!!!

http://digg.com/politics/Fox_News_Palin_didn_t_know_Africa_was_a_continent

[Mr. Sparkle]

59. Foxnews KNEW she was a dodo head and kept this back from us !!!

wankers... :mad:

[Johnny2X2X]

60. This is not funny at all

We were pretty darn close as a Country to having a VP that doesn't know Africa is a Continent and cant name the Countries in North America. This is terrifying, not funny. This is stuff you learn in 3rd grade.

If McCain would've won and then passed away we would have a Commander in Chief that would say bomb Africa if we had an issue in Sudan.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

61. Jerry Springer should invite Sarah Palin and Nicole Wallace on his show

to let them fight it out and throw chairs at each other while dressed in bath towels. Then Todd and the Palin clan and the other McCain staffers could be released from back stage to assault each other on national TV.

[Blue For You]

62. Wasn't Fox for her, before they were against her?

They pushed to get this clownette into the vice presidency, and knowing McCain's health issues, possibly even president. Sounds like they "reported" she's okee-dokey, then "decided" she wasn't...after the election. FUCK FOX.

[THUNDER HANDS]

64. the Brittney Spears of politics

[yellowcanine]

65. Looks as if the pubbies are going the bloodletting route. Formula for disaster.

[codjh9]

67. There are millions of ignorant people like her in this country, too. A lot of 'em don't

even know all the US states or where they are, much less where England, France, Japan, or that big country called 'Africa' :^) is.

[RoadRage]

68. VIDEO LINK HERE:

[black light poster]

71. So did Sarah and chimpy formerly not travel abroad together?

-- She did not know basic geography, i.e. thinks Africa is a country

I have to admit that the coincidence of this freaks me out a bit:

"Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease."
-- George W. Bush, Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001

[progressivebydesign]

72. I once worked for a repub female in Ventura County in the 80s. Biggest witch ever.

Must be her twin sister! Every time I've worked with a republican female candidate, she has been a complete monster.

[PatSeg]

73. BUT she knew where Russia was!

[nomaco-10]

74. but she thinks Africa is a country not a continent....

you can't make this shit up. and to think she could have been a heartbeat away from being the leader of the free world. it gives me heart palpitations every time i think about it.

[PatSeg]

77. Yeah, but you can't see Africa from Alaska!

It is incredible that the woman turned out to be considerably worse than we thought. How is that possible?

[LynnTheDem]

75. Carl Cameron made a mistake; it wasn't $150,000 because of varying sizes

required. It was $150,000 AFTER the various sizes had been RETURNED.

The actual amount laid out was almost $200,000.

The $150,000 was NET.

Plus the other $50,000 of stuff Palin made staffers buy for her.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

79. This is the GOP establishment trying to discredit her for 2012

After on entire campaign telling us how amazing she was, they're flipping and trying to stop her from returning.
They know a Palin 2012 run would be a disaster for their party.

She's pretty dumb, but I don't know if even she is as stupid as some of these claims.

[Eurobabe]

82. Alaskan GOP white trash, pure and simple

keep her up there!! (Apologies to Dem in AK)

[Jennicut]

83. Wow, I knew we would getsome juicy stuff after the election

Not knowing NAFTA, unbelievable. I remember the Al Gore vs. Ross Perot debate on Larry King Live about NAFTA. Sarah, honey, its NORTH AMERICAN free trade agreement, that one is easy! I knew that way back in that debate and I was 20 then! Wow, just crazy. This woman was a risk for the country to be VP.

[truthisfreedom]

84. Desperate vicewives.

[samsingh]

91. and yet mccain fuckin camp selected her and almost hoisted her on America

this is not putting country first and shows how little mccain really cares about the country TODAY.

[moondust]

92. "Reports from McCain aides"

Some of this is undoubtedly scapegoating by the McGoner campaign and some may be a smear job by Fox News acting on behalf of "establishment" Republicans trying to save face and credibility as well as eliminate her from 2012. I doubt that anybody so clueless as to think Africa is a country could get into and complete several years of college.
