OooooKay. So, reading between the lines, this is a guy who had a bad crush on Sarah and was jilted. I’m an expert at reading between the lines.
I agree, it sounds like unrequited love. His quote (paraphrased)about giving up his wife and two kids to be with her. Something is very wrong with the guy. He does not take rejection well at all.
Bingo.
You’ve got it. I understand that there are passages in this book that got through Jeannie Devon’s writing that scream unrequited crush.
And don’t think that Palin didn’t know this. That’s why she cut him off at the knees. Palin is extremely shrewd about people. Bailey was left behind. No job on the Vice Presidential plane. No job at SarahPAC. No shot at the Big Time.
I know what is gnawing at Bailey: no shot at being on the plane with Palin during her Presidential Campaign.
Palin saw that he also got in ethics trouble as the result of the Troopergate probe, which he promptly blamed on everyone but himself.
Nothing is ever his fault in this book. It’s always Palin.
In reality? The guy is a worm who betrayed a solemn trust. NOBODY will ever hire this guy in politics, because he sold out his patron for 30 pieces of silver.
Best,
Chris
