Ex-aide's book paints harsh portrait of Sarah Palin
http://www.politico.com/news/sto…
The still-unpublished manuscript, obtained by POLITICO, reveals Palin, as a candidate for governor, penning letters-to-the-editor in praise of herself, to be sent under other names. It blames the candidate for inflaming, rather than ignoring, scurrilous rumors. And it quotes her pledging to avoid appearing on any network other than Fox News, referring to the rest as “the bad guys.”
...The best line of the whole thing:
In the months before she resigned the governorship, when her poll numbers began to slip, Palin’s advisers sought to bolster her spirits by making the unsubstantiated case that she was being targeted by the Obama White House and Democratic National Committee.
Palin seemed to believe the same thing, but conceded there was no evidence.
“We have no smoking gun that proves we’re being targeted by the bad guys, so it probably sounds to many like I’m a whining b#*(h who stubbornly refuses to govern in the public’s best interest,” she wrote in an email to some of her closest advisers, according to Bailey.
