McCain asks aides to ignore Palin; they ignore him instead

Eric Zimmermann of The Hill reports from the Blog Briefing Room that John McCain has told his aides not to talk to the media about Sarah Palin or her memoir Going Rogue. They aren't listening to him:
John McCain has asked his former campaign aides not to speak out against the charges Sarah Palin levels in her book, NBC news reports.

This news comes after a number of former staffers anonymously blasted Palin's recount of the 2008 campaign.

[...]

Even as NBC reported McCain's request, they included another swipe at her book from a former campaign aide.
No small wonder that the McCain campaign was such a disaster. Not only would they not listen to their VP candidate, they won't even listen to their boss nor abide by his requests. These idiots are still on one big power trip. One thing seems certain -- their future as campaign gurus is a shaky one at best. Perhaps their media friends will help them land jobs at MSNBC and the New York Slimes as payback for the juicy leaks they made up out of thing air and passed along. Oh, wait. The Slimes is laying people off, not hiring. Go figure...

  1. Oh yeah to your last line, JP.

    Exhibit A: Nicole Wallace, recurring guest on Sean Hannity has just been called by Andrea Mitchell, "our friend," and Keith Olbermann mentioned her last night and said she'd have a complete statement with them on MSNBC tomorrow (now today).

    My head is spinning by how fast Wallace has transferred from Fox to MSNBC.

    If she knows what's good for her, she'll regret going from a huge audience to several hundred over there. But then again, her discernment abilities haven't proved to be very good before ...

    Wonder if Hannity will ever have her on again?
