Nicolle Wallace reveals "the most challenging thing about working with Sarah Palin."

Courtesy of Mediaite: 

“It was when she started to go rogue, for real,” Wallace said, quoting the title of Palin’s campaign memoir. “You know, it was when she sort of didn’t care what, like, McCain thought anymore.” 

“So that got a little dicey,” Wallace said, before admitting that it was “totally legit” for Palin to be mad at her after she set up interviews like the one with Katie Couric in which the vice presidential candidate could not come up with the names of any news publications she read. “I was making decisions about who should interview her, the interviews didn’t go well, so that was totally fair game for her to talk about.”

You know I hate that Wallace always has to add that little addendum at the end saying that Palin was right to be pissed off at her because she was too stupid to answer simple questions.

I myself have some issues with Nicolle Wallace, and her use of ridiculous conservative talking points, but she is needs to stop beating herself up over this. Palin was, and is, a bitch on ice and NOBODY would have made her happy during that campaign.

By the way I think that this is a good place to put Alternet's take on Palin's latest scandal, "Dogazi," which they entitle What Sarah Palin's Latest Meltdown Tells Us About Conservatives' Victimization Fantasy: 

It should be surprising that Palin was able to spin a silly little dustup over a dog into a full-blown the-world-is-out-to-destroy-conservatives paranoid meltdown, but sadly, it’s par for the course. And it’s not just Palin who sees liberal bogeymen out to get her around every corner, either. The world of right-wing punditry is one where conservatives are under constant assault by liberals who want to destroy everything they hold dear, often for hazy reasons that amount to little more than “because liberals are evil.” 

The great irony here is that the biggest threat to conservatives doesn’t come from liberals at all, but from the conservative pundits themselves, who readily exploit their audiences by feeding them a bunch of scary lies in order to extract money and political support from them. In many ways, the right-wing of this country is less a political movement than a bunch of charlatans conning the rubes out of their hard-earned money. 

 .......... 

That’s why the Sarah Palin dog dustup matters, because it’s not just a matter of some paranoid, easily rattled ex-politicians wildly overreacting to some deserved criticism. Palin’s words are part of a larger lie that exists only to fill the coffers of right-wing leaders and to scare up votes for people who aren’t qualified to run for dogcatcher, much less national office—the lie that liberals are out to destroy conservatives, because liberals are a bunch of action movie villains who are motivated by pure evil. Palin is able to convince thousands of Americans that some critical comments about how she treats her dog are part of a vast conspiracy to destroy their way of life. That kind of paranoid thinking is the fuel that powers the modern American right.

Exactly!

People have asked me why I spend so much time covering Sarah Palin and the answer is because she is a microcosm of what is happening on a much larger scale.

When Palin decided to "go rogue" in the middle of a presidential campaign she was essentially inspiring a large group of criminally under educated morons, only vaguely aware of current events and politics. And those poor paint chip eating morons have become the financial lifeblood of pseudo politicians and cable news personalities like Mike Huckabee, Glenn Beck, Herman Cain, Mark Levin, and Ben Carson.

Today she is only one of hundreds shearing the sycophantic sheep until their clippers are too hot to handle, but there was a time when she was trailblazer. Essentially blazing a trail to the end of the conservative movement as we know it.
