McCain: Stop questions on Palin background

ST. PAUL, Minn. - John McCain’s campaign on Wednesday angrily called for an end to questions about its review of Sarah Palin’s background, deriding a “faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee” for vice president.

“This nonsense is over,” declared senior campaign adviser Steve Schmidt in a written statement.

The statement stood out for its admission that Palin is under siege — it condemns “this vetting controversy” — and for its attempt to blunt questions about how rigorously McCain and his campaign explored the background of a candidate who may get the nation’s second most powerful job. It also suggested that Palin is a victim of gender bias in the media.

“The McCain campaign will have no further comment about our long and thorough process,” Schmidt said, lashing out at “the old boys’ network” that he says runs media organizations.

At least the bu$h regime orchestrated the talking points ahead of time. This was so off the cuff they couldn't get that done.

9. Gee, he hates the truth and hates the facts.

Surprise surprise. Too bad for him, we have a right and a duty to know this stuff.

And this crap from a party that takes every minor little blip and glitch in a Dem candidate's background and tries to twist it into a scandal. It's been said here before, and never so true as it is now: "Stop lying about us, and maybe we'll stop telling the truth about you."
