Boomer with Attitude / News McCain's aides thought Palin might be mentally unstable
Posted By John Grooms on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 5:09 PM
Justifiably or not, the political world (at least in this country) is all aflutter about the book Game Change by two journalists, John Heilemann and Mark “Steno” Halperin. The book, a look at the 2008 election, is where the info about Harry Reid’s “light-skinned” gaffe came from, leaked ahead of time by Republican strategists who managed to get an advance copy.
I wonder if the GOP will be so eager to publicize other parts of the book, particularly the drubbing taken in it by Sarah Palin, from, well, nearly everyone who had much to do with her during the campaign. Specifically, you have to wonder how keen Republicans will be to hear John McCain’s top aides’ comments repeated nationwide. Such as the newly revealed fact that McCain’s people eventually became worried that Palin was “mentally unstable.” Or the revelation that McCain’s aides planned, in case McCain won, to relegate Palin to the administration’s sidelines.
The portrait of Palin delivered by McCain’s folks – i.e., that she’s a loon and a compulsive liar – isn’t a big surprise for anyone who’s been paying attention and isn’t either blinded by ideological agreement with her, or thinks Palin’s LensCrafter-model looks means she’s “hot.” Read more about the Palin revelations here.
