An excerpt from Sarah Palin’s New Book goes after the McCain campaign staffers
Political Byline — ... A quite interesting story indeed. Sounds to me like that this Nichole Wallace was a liberal plant in John McCain’s campaign for the sole purpose of putting the “Deep Six” on John McCain Campaign. Now the really funny part is that Ann Althouse says that Sarah Palin is “dumb,” that sounds like nothing more than petty jealousy. I thought Ann was better than that, but then again, I never though Ann would vote for Barack Obama either —- Now, who’s dumb sweetie? I think the answer is quite clear here. What more can be expected ...

"Sorry professor. Your credibility is shot."
INSTAPUTZ — Althouse states the obvious (" Sarah Palin is dumb.") and gets raked over the coals by her commenters. Someday AA will realize what a powderkeg of stupid she's sitting on over there. ...

Ann Althouse Is Kinda Being a Bonehead on Sarah Palin
Ace of Spades HQ — Ann Althouse Is Kinda Being a Bonehead on Sarah Palin Althouse argues that Sarah Palin's "passivity" and reluctance to stand up for herself vis a vis the McCain campaign's determination that she should start her interviews with Katie Couric and the like proves she's kinda dumb. She seems to be making some feminist point about women being just as capable of men and therefore, her thinking goes, needing to act in that fashion, and not whine later that their opinions were overlooked. Why didn't you have a say [about what media you were interviewed by]? There's that "really" ...

Althouse finds out what happens when you cross the 20-percenters.
INSTAPUTZ — Amusing comments. OMG SHE CALLED PALIN DUMB F*** HER! The problem with a Bush supporter like Althouse (Frum is guilty of this, too) calling Sarah Palin "dumb" is -- I'm pretty sure she's a hell of a lot smarter than Shrubya. Yes, she might be pig ignorant and intellectually lazy -- I doubt she can name half the state capitals. But she did a hell of a lot more with what she started out with in life -- pretty much nothing -- than Chimpy did. Put W. in the Palin family and you don't get a governor, you get something much less than Todd Palin. ...

"Too Dumb To Be President"
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — After reading an excerpt from Palin's book, Althouse concludes: It seems that Sarah Palin wasn't able or didn't want to bother to analyze whether she was ready to debut on the big media stage, and she wasn't large-minded enough to think beyond herself to what it would mean for the whole campaign. That is, she was dumb. She was too dumb to handle campaign responsibilities properly, so she was clearly too dumb to step into the role of President of the United States. Could she build up her political intelligence? Might she have it now or by 2012? If ...

Top McCain aide: Palin’s lying about what happened with Couric
Hot Air » Top Picks — ... strategist John Weaver was more direct in his criticism, slamming Palin for using the book for “petty and pathetic” score-settling. “Sarah Palin reminds me of Jimmy Stewart in the movie ‘Harvey,’ complete with imaginary conversations. All books like these are revisionist and self-serving, by definition,” Weaver wrote in an email to POLITICO. “But the score-settling by someone who wants to be considered a serious national player is petty and pathetic.” Not as harsh as Ann Althouse’s “Sarah Palin is dumb” takedown from this morning, but still plenty harsh. We’re in for a good, ...

Palin-palooza
Jules Crittenden — ... for a McCain campaign interview. I had another friend scrambling to find Mark Levin’s number. Aboard the campaign plane I was within twenty-five feet of reporters for hours on end. Headquarters’ strategy was that I should not go to the back of the aircraft and talk to the press. At first this was subtle, but as the campaign wore on, Tracey or Tucker would call headquarters to request permission, and someone in DC would respond, “No! Absolutely not- block her if she tries to go back.” Althouse : “Sarah Palin is dumb.” Pretty scathing. She does come across somewhere between ...

Amy Siskind: Why the Palin "Hate Affair" Will Backfire
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — ... great interest as of late the amount of hate stories written about Governor Palin. Oh yes, we are a country that loves our drama. And we are certainly a country that can, at times, be accused of going to extremes. But one thing is certain about our Palin Hate Affair -- the biggest winner will be: Sarah Palin. With Palin's public re-emergence today on Oprah, the media's Palin Hate Affair got fully underway. Sarah is, amongst other things, a cancer of the GOP, dumb, and heck, even fodder for a musical. Newsweek sees nothing wrong with ...
