Palin’s 1st Knife In The Back

Ace says the inevitable “It’s her fault!” b.s. has begun.

Fox New was quoting some anonymous McCain campaign aides who were more than willing to blame their gutless performance on Gov. Palin. Would these aides have been high enough up to be responsible for one of the worst campaigns in modern memory? Palin was the only reason any of us woke up with even a bit of hope yesterday. Had she not shown up, Obama’s furniture would be parked in a truck outside the White House already, hoping for an early move-in.

And she was all McCain’s idea. Figure it out. He didn’t listen to them so they’ve been running around with their egos all full of boo-boos and now it’s time to act out. Ace mentions something that I’ve also seen on Twitter and in a couple other blogs today: none of these idiots should be allowed to work on a campaign again. Based on their performance in this one they’d have a hard time getting entry-level work at McDonald’s.

Ace also links to a video at Hot Air. They smell the disgruntled dung all over this as well.

One thing’s for sure, the Palin bashing won’t be over for a while. They know she’s tough enough to take it and won’t retaliate in public.

But I hope she’s keeping a private file.

UPDATE:

These smear pigs are about to run into a buzz saw.

Michelle Malkin unloads on them in her inimitable way.

Shame on the smearers who don’t have the balls to show their faces.

Hot Air has some more video and explores the Romney link mentioned in the comments to this post.

RedState makes it clear that the idiots are about to have their ass-covering backfire in a most explosive way.

We intend to constantly remind the base about these people, monitor who they are working for, and, when 2012 rolls around, see which candidates hire them. Naturally then, you’ll see us go to war against those candidates.

It is our expressed intention to make these few people political lepers.

Still think the base looked at Sarah Palin as a drag on the ticket?

Don’t believe the hype.

BREAKING in the Troopergate Fiasco: Gov. Palin is Exonerated

The Anchorage Daily News is reporting:

The state Personnel Board-sanctioned investigation is the second into whether Palin violated state ethics law in firing her public safety commissioner, and it contradicts the earlier findings by a special counsel hired by the state Legislature.

Both investigations found that Palin was within her rights to fire Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.

But the new report says the Legislature’s investigator was wrong to conclude that Palin abused her power by allowing aides and her husband, Todd, to pressure Monegan and others to dismiss her ex-brother-in-law, Trooper Mike Wooten. Palin was accused of firing Monegan after Wooten stayed on the job…(more)

Common sense prevails - a bit late, according to Ed Morrissey, of HotAir:

It’s probably too late to address the political damage done by the partisan hack job from the legislature, but at least it will correct the record….Monegan won’t get a hearing from the Personnel Board to “clear his reputation”. Where does Palin go to clear hers after this tempest in a teapot? (more)

Hat-Tip, Sadiq Green

Sarah and the Feminists

The Culture and Media Institute has just released a study entitled Character Assassination: How the TV Networks Have Portrayed Sarah Palin as Dunce or Demon. It documents that the mainstream media’s hostility to Governor Sarah Palin has been extreme, perhaps unprecedented. While the majority of the attacks have been launched by men, media women, including feminists on both sides of the aisle, have not been shy.

Many female journalists, including feminist activists Eve Ensler, Kim Gandy, Eleanor Smeal, Gloria Steinem, and Judith Warner, attacked Palin on the issues–abortion, birth control, equal pay, gun control, the environment, energy, and religion. This is entirely legitimate. But their tone was often unexpectedly and extremely personal, cruel, slightly hysterical. Palin gives Ensler “nightmares.” Warner views her as “fake as they come” and as “America’s Hottest Governor (Princess of the Fur Rendezvous 1983, Miss Wasilla).” Warner softens and, in a second piece views Palin as womens’ “inner Elle Woods,” the heroine played by Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde.

Don’t Believe The Hype

If you are a McCain-Palin supporter these days any exposure to the media can be disheartening. Guess what kids? It’s only going to get worse.

You are going to be under a barrage of negative news telling you that your candidate is doomed and your life sucks because you didn’t fall under the Obama spell. “Hey, don’t even get out of bed loser.”

I think we have established by now that the MSM is not just in the tank for Beloved Leader Obama, they’re naked and spooning with him at this point. They want you to be discouraged and stay home. So when you turn on the TV you’ll hear all about The One’s coronation plans. When you log into your Yahoo! mail you’ll see poll numbers that will make you want to head to Mexico for some cheap Zoloft. The number one show in America this week will be “Barack Obama and the Mantle of Inevitability”.

Just remember this, when I went to lunch on the West coast on Election Day 2004 all the exit polls were telling me that John Kerry was going to be the next POTUS.

This is hardly the time to go underground and hope we don’t all get assigned to ACORN sponsored reeducation camps.

Rasmussen shows Pennsylvania tightening and Ace of Spades HQ has some ideas for working in the home stretch.

The angry, well-organized and deadly serious PUMAS offer some even more encouraging news.

Tonight we spoke with a friend from Hillary Clinton’s campaign who is now working for McCain/Palin — and is specifically working with Democrats for McCain in Pennsylvania. We worked with her in Texas, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania for Hillary and have spent many LONG hours with her in the trenches in all of those states. She’s smart, doesn’t BS, and never lies.

She says the same thing we do: John McCain will win Pennsylvania.

Nothing anywhere or at any time is a given, of course. But that includes an Obama victory. If you’re a sports nut then remember how many experts picked the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. The game still has to be played.

If you can’t get to a swing state and knock on doors, you can make phone calls to the state of your choice all you want between now and then.

Yes, it would be better if McCain was up in the polls right now but he’s not. But we don’t need to hang our heads, cry and get marched right over because we listened to the very MSM that we’re always saying is biased.

One last note:

Extra beer might help.
