Palin E-Mails Suggest Tension With McCain Staffers
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIn the wake of Vanity Fair's scathing exposé detailing tensions between Sarah Palin and many former staffers to John McCain during the '08 presidential campaign, CBS News has obtained an e-mail exchange between Palin and high-level McCain advisers reinforcing the perception that the relationship was anything but harmonious. The subject of the e-mails was the then-growing controversy about whether Palin's husband, Todd, had been a member of the Alaska Independence Party, a group that advocated the state's secession from the union. More broadly, the e-mail chain highlights the tension between ...
Sarah and Katie: Secret Language of Popular Girls
By Mo Rocca - Politics DailyTo understand why Katie Couric's interviews with Sarah Palin so effectively exposed the Alaska governor's unpreparedness for high office, one must first understand the special powers of Popular Girls.First, let's define our terms: Popular Girls are those girls all of us knew in school, even if only from afar. They possess a special aura, a preternatural confidence, an instinct for when to let others in, and when to shut them out. Of course they rarely need to proactively shut out others because those who are not wanted rarely try to enter. They are sometimes terrifying, but also thrilling: ...
CBS Has More Palin Pratfalls?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyVia Howard Kurtz, it seems that CBS may be saving the worst for last. The network reportedly has at least two more bits from Katie Couric's interview with Sarah Palin:And the worst may be yet to come for Palin; sources say CBS has two more responses on tape that will likely prove embarrassing. Hmm. Worse than what we've already seen? Worse than her odd ramble about the proximity of Russia to Alaska? Worse than her dissembling about the economic bailout? Well, inquiring minds want to know, and see. C'mon CBS, let's have what you've got!TPM has now verified from CBS that they do have more ...
More Nonsensical Palin!
By David Knowles - Politics DailyStep right up! It's the interview that has to be seen to be believed. Bizarre, mismatching talking points, rambling double-speak in place of logic, a fundamental inability to form grammatical sentences, the quick glancing at a cheat sheet resting in her lap -- these clips have it all! And they come to America because of the judgment one John McCain, who assured us this woman, Sarah Palin, was the most qualified person to take over as president should he suddenly keel over from a heart attack: But wait, there's more! Who could forget: ...
Obama Leads McCain Again
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyDemocrats might not be able to breathe a sigh of relief just yet, but can at least put to rest the prospect of the Straight Talk Express' tail lights disappearing over the horizon. According to the most recent polls, Barack Obama has regained his 5 point lead over John McCain, plus closed the slim gap that existed between registered voters and likely voters. From CBS News: In a sign that John McCain's convention bounce has dissipated, Barack Obama has taken a 48 percent to 43 percent lead over his Republican rival among registered voters in the latest CBS News/New York Times poll. McCain had a ...
CBS News Cuts McCain Gaffe
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: 1:25 pm The McCain campaign issued a statement yesterday regarding the gaffe itself, but did not address the CBS edit. Until now: (via email) Tommy Christopher: CBS did not air the response to Katie Couric's question about the Anbar Awakening, matching it instead with another of Senator McCain's responses. Was this edit performed at the request of anyone in or connected to the Senator's campaign? Tucker Bounds: no CBS News issued the following statement to me, via email: As all news organizations do with extended interviews, last night's Obama and McCain interviews were edited to fit ...
