Now here’s something I can say, “Well duh” about; it seems a former McCain campaign adviser, Nicolle Wallace, has told Time that Sarah “Ice Queen” Palin was the inspiration for the character of the mentally-ill vice-presidential character in Wallace’s new novel, “It’s Classified”.
Apparently, during the 2008 campaign, Palin wavered between mental states of either extraordinary highs or debilitating lows, and Wallace said she was often withdrawn, uncommunicative and incapable of performing even the most basic tasks required of her job as McCain’s running mate.
Yeah, basic tasks like being able to name one magazine or newspaper she read regularly to keep up on world events; or to be able to name one Supreme Court decision she disagreed with.
Wallace also said that during the height of the campaign a decision was made to isolate Palin during her debate prep, removing her from the campaign trail, because of the so-called shock of becoming an overnight celebrity.
It seems that “moose in the head lights” look was for real don’t you know.
Wallace even goes so far in her interview to suggest there were discussions about whether, if they were to win, it would be appropriate for her to be sworn in.
Wow, really? Actual discussions – after she’d been tapped as McCain’s running mate – as to her mental fitness to be sworn in as the Vice President? When you think about it this all makes a lot of sense, but it doesn’t speak very highly of McCain’s fitness to have been president or of his campaign staff’s inability to have vetted her.
So, all this time what so many of us have suspected is true; Sarah Palin is nuttier than an Alaskan fruit cake. Makes perfect sense she’d be working for FOX.
