It begins: Palin didn’t know Africa was a continent, claims Fox News

Via Ace, a tasty pile of shinola straight from the stovetop of disgruntled McCain staffers. It’s too cute by half, as is the detail about NAFTA; they might as well have tossed in a story about her having to guess who’s buried in Grant’s tomb. To believe it, you have to believe she figured out a way to become governor of Alaska while somehow lacking the mental power to piece together which three nations might be involved in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Diehard ‘Cuda-haters like Sullivan will, of course, be more than happy to oblige.
You’ll find another clip from Fox that aired earlier today below the Carl Cameron video. See if you can figure out the thematic link. Exit question: If she’s really this much of an abject imbecile, how did that detail manage to escape the attention of Newsweek? There’s no sign of it in their highlight reel of the dishiest dirt they learned about the campaign, a piece which actually includes a quote from another aide about “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast” as if to prove that they’re not holding back on the ‘Cuda.
Update: The plot thickens.

Ya’ll get too worked up. In 4 years, no one is gonna care about a he said, she said thing in 2008. Stop acting like a bunch of whiney girls.
lorien1973 on November 5, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Jack#ss’s on parade!
I’m getting pretty sick and tired of this crap that
Governor Palin was a boat anchor on the Republican
ticket!
Why O why,are the Republican pundits,and talking
heads besmirching Sarah,and on a side note,whether
any of this has merit,
Memo to Conservatives, Stop airing Republican infighting
laundry!
All your doing is fueling CNN’s
time slot segments!
And this crap about Africa,here’s the impression and
and narrative the Lefty’s want to paint,and that is that
SarahCuda is a bumpkin,in the wilds,up in the boondocks,
the sticks,in other words an “IDIOT”!
Their not content for SarahCuda to lose,the know Sarah
is a threat,a danger to their power,and in doing so,they
want to destroy her politicaly!!
canopfor on November 5, 2008 at 8:42 PM
It’s times like this that I’m glad that I’m actually registered as an Indpendent, and not a Republican.
Because the party sickens me anymore.
Vyce on November 5, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Oh the irony. McCain and his staffers didn’t have the ball* to attack Obama yet they have no problem attacking GOv Palin.
unseen on November 5, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Oh my God. Count me out of the Sarah boat
Baphomet on November 5, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Just like Obama traversed 57 states – oooh we will give him a pass -eech
Shep needs to take his clogged nose off the air
Sarah – stand strong
defendfaithandfamily on November 5, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Palin had no interview prep before Couric.
WisCon on November 5, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Carl Cameron said Palin was pissed with McCain aides sending her out to unfriendly hostile media elites, like Couric and Gibson and giving them lengthy access.
CanadianGuy on November 5, 2008 at 8:43 PM
McCain lost by millions of votes. I truly doubt Palin moved that many people away from McCain.
terryannonline on November 5, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Good to hear from you again, MedSchool. I didn’t vote for your guy, but congratulations. Thanks for not gloating.
About CPAC, wouldn’t you want to ban Bush, John Bolton, etc., as well? Who would allow?
jazz_piano on November 5, 2008 at 8:44 PM
If only they’d have attacked Obama-Biden this way. It’s refreshing to see the purging happening so soon, though. I could sense the tension last night on stage. Their handshake..partial hug..was tense.
We lova ya, Sarah. McCain was never our choice, but you were the seasoning in a pile of crap.
SouthernGent on November 5, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Okay.
Now Cameron said Sarah would have temper tantrums each morning when she read her press clippings bring staff near tears? And he gives the bathrobe story. Calls her a “shopaholic”.
CanadianGuy on November 5, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Yeah, they’re just reaching across the aisle./sarc
Oldnuke on November 5, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Um, Palin was an honor’s student in high school… could she manage that and still think Africa was a continent? How about become governor? Jesus, this is ridiculous… we need to know who is spreading this crap…
ninjapirate on November 5, 2008 at 8:44 PM
The people in McCain’s campaign are acting like children. They need to shut the heck up and move on.
Elizabetty on November 5, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Liberals don’t fight…they go to court…or the media…or the government…
Liberals FEEL!!!
BigWyo on November 5, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Cameron is throwing out every single rumor he has heard.
This is awful. I can’t believe I am hearing this on Fox.
WisCon on November 5, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Is anyone watching this exchange with O’Reilly and Cameron? This is unbelievable.
Kamikaze on November 5, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Carl Cameron seems to be enjoying this report on O’Reilly a bit too much. What’s up with that? This is pathetic. O’Reilly calles nitpicking and Carl argues with him. I haven’t seen Cameron this animated through the whole campaign. Maybe he wanted to follow Obama?
Dee2008 on November 5, 2008 at 8:45 PM
This is truly gross. They picked her and now they’re throwing her under the bus in the way they were to cowardly to attack their actual opponent in the election, Obama.
Clearly some of McCain’s campaign purposely tried to throw this election, and dishing tell-all on Palin to hurt her future electability is just an extension of that.
Obamalama Deprogrammer on November 5, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Yeah. McCain’s going to get a great welcome at CPAC now.
CanadianGuy on November 5, 2008 at 8:45 PM
So because no one will remember that makes it okay? And I firmly believe they will trot out exactly these kinds of stories.
haikusrock on November 5, 2008 at 8:46 PM
I just saw Mt Rushmore for the first time 2 weeks ago. I’m glad I got to see it before they chisel that guys grille right into the side of it.
Red Creek on November 5, 2008 at 8:46 PM
That is Romney’s ex staff that worked with McCain spreading that. He is manuevering for 2012.
She should start opposition research now. Keep digging for the good dirt. 47 years leaves big piles around.
BMoFo on November 5, 2008 at 8:47 PM
This was like watching one of those celebrity gossip stories on ET or something. I think Cameron needs a vacation. He’s losing his perspective.
Dee2008 on November 5, 2008 at 8:47 PM
The cowards who put out this nonsense will be working for Romney and the Huckster in no time.
V15J on November 5, 2008 at 8:47 PM
FOX News has been fawning over Obama all day…they’re just brown-nosing so they won’t be left out of the press loop in the new administration.
JetBoy on November 5, 2008 at 8:47 PM
Remember who is President Elect now. Fox needs to do something to get themselves back into good graces and this appears to be it.
Rockygold on November 5, 2008 at 8:47 PM
Cameron just did as much damage to Sarah Palin as everything else combined. This will be everywhere. I am stunned.
WisCon on November 5, 2008 at 8:47 PM
I’ve been irritated with FoxNews for a long time. They’re sensationalistic, and the reason they seem to lean right is that the rest of the MSM leans so far left.
Their reputation as “conservative” reflects badly on all of us.
jazz_piano on November 5, 2008 at 8:48 PM
So apparently “We Report, You Decide” is “We Report One Side, Leading You to think Palin is an Idiot”.
Only with 10 secs left did Cameron report that maybe ALL OF THE MCCAIN STAFF WAS FUBAR.
But really? No contacting Palin staff? Weaksauce.
TheEJS on November 5, 2008 at 8:48 PM
I bet Romney’s goons are behind this.
Darth Executor on November 5, 2008 at 8:48 PM
These staffers are making excuses for their failures.
Nuff said.
Jamson64 on November 5, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Carl probably wanted to bed Obama.
BMoFo on November 5, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Only an idiot would buy this- If McCain had any honor he would call these clowns to the carpet.
Palin clearly saved a sinking campain and got people excited.
gdonovan on November 5, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Cameron also said that McCain’s people (cough cough Nicole Wallace) said Palin didn’t know that South Africa was a country and thought that it was just the southern region of Africa. He also said she wasn’t aware of the definition of “American exceptionalism.” Hmmm.
CanadianGuy on November 5, 2008 at 8:48 PM
I agree!!! In fact, I propose they put their money where their mouth is… let’s start up a Conservative Party with Palin and Jindal at the head and let them run head-to-head… time to put the fear of God back in the Republican party… one way or the other!
dominigan on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
They also whine. Can’t forget that.
Oldnuke on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Hard right, hard right! Full speed ahead. True believers only please. All RINO’s please get off the boat.
Mojave Mark on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Yeah, O’Reilly is defending her. I guess he likes her.
terryannonline on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Maybe she was unhappy with the prep she got for the Gibson interview?
SAZMD on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Ok people. Listen up. this is the rino’s way to save themselves. As Rush said today. their entire belief that the way to win elections has probven a failure. You need to start with you base. Moderates and independents are not a base. Therefore to defelct from that and still keep this insane belief alive they are going to try to pin the entire lose on Palin. forgetting for a moment that McCain was 8-10pts behind before annoucing Gov Palin. GOv Palin quickly closed the gap and pushed the old fart ahead for the one and only time in the campaign after her speech. He remained ahead until wall street went nuts. The leadership is truely scared of the repsonse that Palin got on the trial. the 20,000+ for an outsioder Palin is making the moderate RINO scared. <Mitt and that bunch knows they have no chance to the presidentacy if Palin is standing in the way. the gop will go to the rank and file and conservatism, small government less spending ect will deprive them of power.

Allahpundit is a FRICKIN’ Creep – and Carl Cameroon is a rumor-mongering liar!
grtflmark on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
You know, you’ve got some staffer who now has to look around to find another campaign to latch on to. These staffers know they screwed up with SP. What to do? Well, since she’s riding off into the sunset, it only makes strategic sense to hand your bumpling on her. Who’ll know the difference.
You can be ethical, or you can be employed.
While we’re on the subject, let’s talk about clothes. You send some volunteer to the store to buy her some outfits. So you get a couple. Then you start thinking….. hmmm … you’re shoe size is the same as hers. Nice blouse. Hmmm… campaigns are chaotic things aren’t they? Moving all the time, stuff gets lost. If this Sarah chick never see’s the outfit, who’s to know…
kurtzz3 on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
my friends mccain is a baby
custer on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
I wish they would cite their sources — I absolutely believe that there are GOP staffers who are petty, self-centered, and lack the character to take a loss without whining and blame-gaming.
It would be very helpful to identify them now, so future GOP candidates don’t make the mistake of hiring them.
ClintACK on November 5, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Move on…please move on.
Itchee Dryback on November 5, 2008 at 8:50 PM
When we all get over the MSM (including Fox) habit, we will all be able to see the world a little clearer…
d1carter on November 5, 2008 at 8:50 PM
So a disgruntled McCain staffer who couldn’t get his ticket elected is blaming Gov Sarah Palin. Sounds like someone can’t take the pressure fingers are pointing and “Someone” is trying to blame the ticket for their failure.
Meet the Real Sarah Palin Blog, is getting nothing but high traffic like her sister blogs, and Sarah Palin Supporters don’t want her to go away. They want her to form a new coalition. She was a threat to the Progressives, and she still is a threat. We had to put the blog back on moderation. The leftys want to bury her, they are that scared of Sarah Palin. John McCain had his shot, I voted for him but Sarah Palin, has a future in the Republican Party, and I hope she makes the most out of her Political Future.
Dr Evil on November 5, 2008 at 8:50 PM
Much better.
hillbillyjim on November 5, 2008 at 8:50 PM
Oh, GTFOH. What ridiculous CRAP! If you believe THAT, you’ll believe frickin’ robocalls telling you NOT to vote because Obama’s already won in a landslide!
Sh*t. And people wonder how Republicans blew this. It ain’t only Democrats that are loaded neck deep with “gullible fools”.
tree hugging sister on November 5, 2008 at 8:50 PM
Hey McCain, it was YOU we never liked as a candidate.
I wish the people at Fox would stop kissing up to the new CIC. They’re going to start losing their audience if this keeps up.
STFU Shep & Carl, talking heads who follow people around and repeat what they say. Real brainiacs there, huh?
fogw on November 5, 2008 at 8:50 PM
Are you kidding me?! Carl Cameron just ruined Sarah Palin. Why are they doing this?
goldeagle11 on November 5, 2008 at 8:50 PM
That’s it. It’s over.
I know Romney’s aides sandbagged her, but the ship has sailed on Sarah Palin.
I had so much hope for her, but this will be forwarded and played on tv constantly, with no mention of romney. It will hit every blog, every john stewart, and might get a mention on SNL in a week or so (weekend update).
Bye bye Sarah. Sorry this happened to you, but when independents turn on you, it’s over. She is effectively a cartoon character now…sigh.
Give me SOMEONE in this party that can give a good speech AND is a true conservative (but not die-hard social con) like Mark Sanford from South Carolina.
IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE????
battleoflepanto1571 on November 5, 2008 at 8:50 PM
Palin in 2012!!!!! Do not give up Sarah, be the true red conservative, and speak your mind, and start raising money for like minded candidates….You will go far….
CreationistConservativeWarrior on November 5, 2008 at 8:51 PM
Okay, this is bullshit. And no one will defend this woman. I think everyone should send emails – in fact bombard them with emails demanding the names of the sources. Send it to anyone who aired this story. Keep demanding.
Blake on November 5, 2008 at 8:51 PM
Not any more, he’s an irrelevant has been.
Oldnuke on November 5, 2008 at 8:51 PM
The true RINO’s are the “base” who were more concerned with their own selfish wants and showed no concern for the party or the party’s nominee.
Here’s a life raft…
JetBoy on November 5, 2008 at 8:51 PM
If you think I voted for Obama, you have me mistaken. I could never vote for that socialist. I voted for Bob Barr only because Chuck Baldwin wasn’t on the California ballot.
As far as CPAC goes, it needs to shun as many big government pseudoconservatives/neocons as possible. If Bush isn’t invited, so much the better. Let’s close this embarrassing chapter of the GOP.
MedSchoolCatholic on November 5, 2008 at 8:52 PM
I find the accusations to be rather unlikely. If not outright lies they gotta be misunderstandings.
FOX has been sucking a little more every week for the last year and a half, but in the last few days they have pretty much jumpped the shark.
And if you hadn’t already figured it out, it must be obvious by now that the entire McCain Campaign staff sucked from the beginning; and as has always been the case with the democrats, they refuse to accept the blame for their own lack of competence…. or perhaps malfeasance.
Skrooemall.
LegendHasIt on November 5, 2008 at 8:52 PM
I see.
jazz_piano on November 5, 2008 at 8:52 PM
Anyone want to start with the story of Palin “throwing a tantrum”, which for males would be “Give ‘Em Hell” Harry?
Or the “McCain staffers went to fetch her, finding her in only a towel and were shocked!”?
If the 2nd one is true, there were some damn perverts in the campaign and McCain deserved to lose.
TheEJS on November 5, 2008 at 8:52 PM
If everything they say about her is actually true, it would give many of us pause in our support of her. But I have grave doubts about the validity of these reports. There may be seeds of truth in them, and haven’t we all had stories or gossip told about us that had an element of truth to them, but then they were warped by those who wanted to tell a different narrative than what actually happened.
I also am suspicious because these stories/leaks seem to be coming from people who’s careers are all about working on political campaigns. That means they don’t want to take any blame for this loss, since they need to get hired for the next political campaign.
Red State State of Mind on November 5, 2008 at 8:53 PM
I’m jumping out of the Sarah boat. She might have executive experience, knowledge about the Energy Sector and be a stalwart social conservative but that’s not enough to be President. She’s just not smart enough to be President. The GOP Conservatives aren’t that desperate that we’ll elect someone who can’t name the countries that form NAFTA and who didn’t know that Africa was a continent. Please. I’m out of the Sarah boat. I donated thousands to independent 527’s and McCain, but I’m not throwing my money on Sarah. It was so evident from the way she dropped the Rose Revolution and the Orange Revolution during her interview with Charlie Gibson. He should have asked her about it…
She refused to be coached for the Katie Couric interview and thought that she could actually wing it. DARN! HOW WRONG COULD YOU BE SWEETIE! We need Brainiac Conservatives like Reagan not bimbo’s like Palin.
jacobnyc on November 5, 2008 at 8:53 PM
GOP turnout was lower than expected…and for sure, people had already decided to abandon McCain from the get-go.
JetBoy on November 5, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Just think of all the fun and leaks to come from the White House staff when they new first lady comes home.
Rockygold on November 5, 2008 at 8:53 PM
They’re not going to reveal their sources, but we could find out who is on McCain’s staff and not support any campaign that hires any of them — except Scheunemann.
CanadianGuy on November 5, 2008 at 8:53 PM
I think we conservatives need to get our focus off on Obama, with an expectation that his policies will not succeed. We need to go and reclaim this mantle of conservatism and take the RINO trash out.
I do not like the left, but with their organization and the way that they took their message, I respect that. Not their message, but their method. We can do that here, and the American people are more willing to support us than the left. When Prop 8 fails in CA, conservatism is still strong, never fading.
Hannity now starts his program stating that conservatism is in exile. IT IS NOT! It’s plain as day, the GOP has not offered it to America. We need to start mobilizing today, screw waiting around for 2012, I got a Tim Kaine to kick out now.
In all honesty I have not been all that involved. Sure, I have voted but that’s pretty much all I did. This election did not demoralize me, it challenged me. I now have made it my purpose to contribute to this cause. I hope it does the same for all of us.
(Sorry for the long words, but I needed to get that out)
JVelez on November 5, 2008 at 8:54 PM
Someone wasn’t paying attention during the “What every boy needs to know to be a man” talk…if he ever got it.
Christien on November 5, 2008 at 8:54 PM
Unnamed staffers, unsubstantiated rumors – the press has failed miserably this election season. Gee, and O’Reilly runs with this story, no sources needed. But Obama, of course, is a stand-up guy for sitting in Wright’s church for 20 years.
dugan on November 5, 2008 at 8:54 PM
This is the ‘blue blood’ or ‘liberal’ republican wing blaming their own failures on their VP because they couldn’t have lost the election because they’re right, just like their liberal democrat counterparts.
I’ve just about had it with that wing
Defector01 on November 5, 2008 at 8:54 PM
I love it. The one guy who tried to defend her gets fired.
Blake on November 5, 2008 at 8:54 PM
John McCain admitted he didn’t know anything about the economy. And that didn’t come from an aide. What a briliant thing for man to say who wants to lead the economic superpower.
V15J on November 5, 2008 at 8:54 PM
Let’s start a boycott of Fox. Perhaps they are sucking up before the Fairness Doctrine gets passed. They can go to hell.

Didnt Joe the Plumber support Alan Keyes? I guess after that comment, the GOP threw him off the Straight Talk Express. These Reporters and RINOs deserve eachother.
BeardedLady on November 5, 2008 at 8:55 PM
It’s ridiculous to even try to present evidence that might refute this stupid story but anyway, in Oct 2007 Palin met with the CEO of the world’s second largest mining company about his wanting to set up shop in Alaska. His company, it was noted in the papers, did business in other countries, one of which was South Africa. In fact they did lots of business in South Africa, Botswana, Namiba etc. Is it possible that in his pitch to her that he mentioned that? Do you think she said “South Africa? What’s that? I’ve only heard of Africa. I didn’t know there was a South Africa.”
BrianBoru on November 5, 2008 at 8:55 PM

She’s not the airhead she’s made out to be. This is despicable.
VanPalin on November 5, 2008 at 8:56 PM
I never thought Palin was a good fit, she is hardly an inforcer. More like a self-regulator.
Anyone who spends someone else’s money on clothes – for their husband – as well as themselves – is not a regulator.
That clothing bill is just another earmark….fashion pork.
AprilOrit on November 5, 2008 at 8:56 PM
Gov. Sarah Palin is the only reason that John McCain did as well as he did……….. if he picked Grahmnesty or Liberman, he would have gotten 1% of the vote.
These as% clowns are pandering to the Obama campaign, and are following orders…………… Start to trash Palin and Conservatives if you want any access to this White House.
Is anyone surprised by this? This is only the beginning people…………. one by one, anyone who was seen as the “opposition” will be destroyed. This is how Obama and his political machine works. It was all out there before the election for everyone to see, but interestingly enough, the “Media” never brought it to light, they acted as accomplices.
I wonder how loud they will scream when he finally comes for them………………………?
Seven Percent Solution on November 5, 2008 at 8:57 PM
McCain is a disgrace if he does nothing to stop this. Wasn’t McCain known for his temper and erratic behavior? And they have the gall to trash Palin for getting upset at anything? McCain’s camp never defended her, they just trashed her and let her flap in the wind.
SAZMD on November 5, 2008 at 8:57 PM
Some of you will never learn. Infatuation with Palin trumps clear evidence for some of the drones here. Any criticism of Palin’s lack of curiousity or lack of knowledge is somehow seen as disloyalty. Carl Cameron is hardly a liberal reporter with an axe to grind.
Keep acting like she knew what the #$#% she was talking about, see how far that gets us next time around.
mainmann on November 5, 2008 at 8:57 PM
The McCain campaign forgot to craft a comprehensive economic message or even talk about his healthcare plan until the last two weeks. Not Palin´s fault. The McCain campaign forgot that “maverick” is not a policy. Not Palin´s fault. McCain´s glorious idea to own the bailout? Not Palin´s fault.
No, she merely brought in some serious donations and energized the party faithful across the country. Who needs that!
These people make me sick.
el gordo on November 5, 2008 at 8:57 PM
I can’t believe people are actually more focused on the media than on the possibility that someone as ignorant as Palin almost reached the federal Executive. We can all tell the story is real, and this is embarrassing. People in denial just makes me think we haven’t learned the lesson from last night’s whooping
Baphomet on November 5, 2008 at 8:57 PM
Fox news is sinking into the MSM swamp….won’t even leave a ripple.
ElectricPhase on November 5, 2008 at 8:57 PM
This is disgraceful. I haven’t turned my TV on since Monday night. Shephard Smith and Fox News should be ashamed as should the McCain campaign. Without Sarah, he would have been buried a long time ago, as he should be. Who in the world liked “him” to begin with. I heard that Sarah rushed off the stage last night during the concession speech. I hope she took the time to spit in McCain’s face. Hey, people in Arizona, do your duty and put the man out of his, no our, misery and vote him the hell out of office. Sarah, we love you….

Palin is “over” for me. Media image epic fail.
Question is now, who do we build around? Not “who runs in 2012″, but who are the leaders?
McConnell obvoiusly in the Senate, but who else? Who in the house? WHat can I do?
battleoflepanto1571 on November 5, 2008 at 8:58 PM
So are these inside sources the same people who ran this feckless campaign? They screwed up and now Palin has to go down. Ridiculous.

*watches trolls jumping out of boat turned into chum by props*
That’s Governor Palin to you, chums. Heh.
Christien on November 5, 2008 at 8:58 PM
About the clothes. It is my understanding the RNC allowed her to spend the money; so, the issue should be with them first. Second, 5.3 BILLION DOLLARS was spent on this election overall. $150,000 worth of clothes is just a very tiny tip of the iceberg as far as this election goes. I can’t even begin to imagine that kind of excess.
Kamikaze on November 5, 2008 at 8:59 PM
The bottom line for me is this. Sarah Palin’s crowds were large and enthusiastic. I would be concerned if a candidate did not have any reaction to being trashed like she was. But did anyone in the McCain campaign really defend her… The fact is the McCain campaign had multiple opportunities and never were capable of capitalizing on them. Sarah Palin is a genuine american success story who is not an elite or snob. Sarah speaks to everyday americans that is refreshing. Hell most Americans could not tell the difference between a country or continent. This is the problem with the Washington elites and why they can not connect with the folks.
canesfan on November 5, 2008 at 8:59 PM
No news here, folks. We were warned they would throw her under the bus and blame her for McCain’s loss. I don’t care what anyone says about her. I like her. I like her better than McCain.
PoliticallyIncorrectSandy on November 5, 2008 at 8:59 PM
Greta is getting anearful from her viewers tonight who want Fox to apologize to Gov. Palin and either put the McCain staffers on the air or STFU about them.

Haunchie on November 5, 2008 at 8:59 PM
Irony?
Attacking fellow GOP members is the stock and trade of McCain and his ilk, the type of people who would say…run his campaign.
No surprises here. The Queeg Machine are a bunch of losers and are desperately trying to deflect blame for the crappy campaign they ran. The target?
Sarah Palin.
Now, alas, even FNC appears to be willing to jump in to try and burry Palin.
Perhaps, the folks at FNC need an object lesson in how conservatives handle media outlets that trafic in hatchet-job journalism…
