Alaska's lipstick-wearing pit-bull is a "Little Shop of Horrors."

That's how one longtime friend and campaign trail companion of John McCain, the vanquished 2008 GOP presidential nominee, described veep nominee Sarah Palin.

In an expansive story in the August edition of Vanity Fair, a slew of senior members of McCain's campaign team told reporter Todd S. Purdum that they suffer a kind of survivor's guilt following the 2008 presidential election.

There is no way this man is going to win Arizona...we will make sure of it. I promise you that.

Vanity Fair writers and their fop editor Graydon Carter should all be writing for Mother Jones or The Advocate

Please make it so, he needs to be put to pasture, and pronto!

They can’t help themselves.

She’s a pro-life conservative, she’s an unashamed Christian, she’s smart, she’s beautiful, she’s lived the pioneer life, she’s worked her way to the governorship of her very significant state with her charisma and intelligence.

Basically, she’s everything that the urban, effete Lefitst and RINO shills AREN’T. And they hate her for it.

More power too her.

Is this the same bunch of losers who couldn’t get an American Vietnam veteran the win over a bunch of punk, Marxist “community organizers” from Chicago? I’m surprised that they’d even show their faces in public let alone do a magazine interview for a leftist rag.

[Mogollon]

I’m not voting for McCain this year. I voted for myself instead of him in 2004...figured I would be a much better conservative than him.

[Trod Upon]

Wonder how the old geezer explains the fact that Palin was the only flicker of life in his campaign, however short-lived it may have been. They blame her for not being able to drag his dead weight across the line at the last minute. Can we send McCain back to the ‘Cong?

[Mogollon]

Whoops I meant in 2010.

[rabscuttle385]

fyi

[ABQHispConservative]

Who are these guys, the campaign workers? Just to update the list.

[marron]

I have watched this guy backstab everyone who came near him for as long as I can remember. Its way past time McCain retired to live out his days doing whatever a faithless old backstabbing crank does for entertainment. But let him do it on his own dime, and not on the public payroll.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Regardless of how the primary goes, I’ll be writing in J.D. Hayworth. I’m through with McCain.

"Palin refused to comment for Vanity Fair."Probably wise. I can think of no reason why this woman should subject herself to another national campaign. Would you?

[dalereed]

Mc Cain wouldn’t make a pimple on JDs ass!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!

Todd S. Purdum that they suffer a kind of survivor's guilt following the 2008 presidential election.

They should be feeling guilty. Guess they are grousing that they can't get hired by any conservative campaigns or get invited to any of the "cool" Washington parties. What a bunch of whiners.

“I can think of no reason why this woman should subject herself to another national campaign.”

Maybe because she refuses to let the propagandizing, leftist QueerMedia dictate who the candidates should be.

Perhaps she also feels that decision should not be entrusted to cowardly, career-politican RINOS and pretend-conservatives, who even take their poor play-acting to appear here on FR.

I think this is great. Keep printing this crap. Now, when Sarah writes her book, she won’t have to walk on eggshells when it comes to discussing the McCain team. She can be brutally honest about what happened during the campaign. I, for one, can’t wait to read about it. The McCan folks will need a diaper change by the time she’s done with them.
