Seriously, if this hag wants any future, someone needs to ask her to get off the stage, and go away
Why is this witch still on national stage?
Now that the election is over, Newsweek is at liberity to reveal all the juicy gossip it’s been saving up throughout the campaign. Here are a few nuggets:
- $150,000 is actually a low estimate for the amount Sarah Palin spent on her wardrobe.
- The Secret Service found “a sharp and disturbing increase in threats to Obama in September and early October” after vitrolic Palin rallies.
- McCain’s advisers decided not to tell him the campaign was over before his last debate.
- Palin brought up Obama’s relationship with William Ayers without McCain’s approval.
- McCain set the following boundaries: “no Jeremiah Wright; no attacking Michelle Obama; no attacking Obama for not serving in the military.”
- Obama didn’t choose Hillary Clinton because of her husband. This relieved McCain.
- Hillary Clinton and John McCain are friends who do shots together.
- Before her RNC speech, Sarah Palin greeted campaign advisors wearing only a towel.
Governor Sarah Palin was pranked by a Montreal comedy duo claiming to be the president of France. Read more…
The finger pointing has started (duh) but this is really candid, too candid for Republicans:
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge said today that John McCain can’t become president without carrying Pennsylvania and that the race would be different if McCain had chosen him as his running mate.
“I think the dynamics would be different in Pennsylvania,” Ridge said when asked if he should have been chosen to run as vice president over Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “I think we’d be foolish not to admit it publicly.”
Ridge, the campaign’s national co-chairman, said McCain “had several good choices and I was one of them.”

So this “GOP spending $150,000 on Palin family wardrobe” thing seems to be pretty good fodder. But it’s possible it’s more serious than that. In 2002, a Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act was passed that basically set some limits on how much parties could spend on campaigns. This reform also referred to unregulated contributions and “soft money,” being money that does not directly attribute to the election of a candidate or their campaign. The ironic thing to notice here is that this reform is the McCain-Feingold reform, as John McCain was one of its pioneers. So, it is arguable to say that McCain broke his own law. I’m no lawyer, so I can’t say whether that’s true, but check out the specifics of that reform here.
