Tag: Sarah Palin (Page 9 of 11)

Roger Simon lets them have it.

But where did we go wrong with Sarah Palin? Let me count the ways:

First, we should have stuck to the warm, human interest stuff like how she likes mooseburgers and hit an important free throw at her high school basketball tournament even though she had a stress fracture.

Second, we should have stuck to the press release stuff like how she opposed the Bridge to Nowhere (after she supported it).

Third, we should never have strayed into the other stuff. Like when The Washington Post recently wrote: “Palin is under investigation by a bipartisan state legislative body. … Palin had promised to cooperate with the legislative inquiry, but this week she hired a lawyer to fight to move the case to the jurisdiction of the state personnel board, which Palin appoints.”

The Mccain campaign is playing with fire here. This absurd notion that the press should sit back and buy their bullshit is offensive. Media coverage helps dictate the progress of a campaign. For years. McCain benefited from a friendly press. I suspect those days are over.
