Video: Fox News drops another load of dirty laundry on Palin

Unlike the first clip, this one does corroborate some of the details in the Newsweek report — sort of. Newsweek claims Palin appeared to McCain’s aides in a bath towel; Cameron says it’s a bathrobe. It’s not clear if he’s lifting that story from the piece or if he got it from a source firsthand; if the latter, then there’s either one very determined person leaking to multiple news outlets or … it’s a full-court press.
Whichever it is, you’ll never hear the word “uncommon” uttered as pejoratively as you will here.
I assume this is a sign that Maverick’s headed back to the center, because if he thinks the base is sore at him now, wait until his cronies’ attempts to scapegoat their idol start percolating. The boss’s reaction is emblematic, I’d guess. Exit question: I wonder what Greta, who was chiding the media just 12 hours ago for trying to destroy the ‘Cuda, thinks of these little Cameron segments.
Update: E-mailers are claiming Romney people must be the leakers since Mitt’s the obvious beneficiary of smearing Palin. Two things about that. One, the dirt in the Newsweek piece was leaked on condition that it not be published until after the election. If Romneyites were looking to tear Palin down, the time to leak would have been before the vote to try to sabotage McCain and clear Mitt’s path to 2012. Two, some of this stuff — like the bathrobe story — would have to have come from high-ranking McCain staffers with direct access to Palin. Were there any Romney people that high up in Maverick’s campaign? If not, would people who were that high up be inclined to whisper about it to Romney people and risk them leaking it, especially after all the bad blood between the two sides during the primary?
Update: Ace reminds me that Politico quoted an unnamed McCain aide — probably Randy Scheunemann — two weeks ago as saying Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace (neither of whom is a Romney person) would be the ones trying to tear down Palin. Right or wrong? Read this pool report of a press gaggle with Schmidt aboard McCain’s plane on Monday. Twice a reporter asked him to confirm that he was happy with Palin on the ticket. Twice, no reply. Doesn’t mean he’s the leaker, but it’s “uncommon,” to borrow a phrase.

American Politics is in the gutter
Elizabetty on November 6, 2008 at 12:10 AM
This new treatment of Sarah Palin is not only more infuriating than the Trig fiasco, but frankly it’s pissing me off more than McCain’s loss, by a long shot. Him and his moderate, unprincipled, kowtowing GOP are taking out their spite on a good conservative. They took their shot on going left, it failed, and now they’re out for blood.
I am not happy Obama won, but I’m pretty damned happy that this bogus “right-wing” party tripped over its own feet and hit the ground hard.
MadisonConservative on November 6, 2008 at 12:11 AM
Once again, the Romney aides are harpooning any chance of Palin in 2012.
And sadly it worked. Palin’s image in “average Americans” minds is that of a tina fey cartoon character. Even Reagan in ‘76 was seen as ‘inexperienced — but with ‘gravitas’. The media, and now, the RINOS, have destroyed any chance of Palin having a future in national politics in 9 weeks time.
INCREDIBLE :(
Somebody warn Jindal, Pence, Cantor, & Sanford: CHOOSE ‘ADVISORS’ CAREFULLY!

WTF is wrong with you FOX, of all networks?
LEAVE SARAH PALIN ALONE, DAMNIT.
Capital Mess on November 6, 2008 at 12:12 AM
Not knowing what countries are in North America is stupid, Bill. I’m not saying she didn’t know (I don’t buy it, in fact), but you’re better off arguing that it’s the McCain aides trying to pass the buck or are lying.
amerpundit on November 6, 2008 at 12:13 AM
I know Sarah’s a classy lady, but man, I’d pay big bucks to see her slam these people in prime time. Big $$ :-)
hockey2k5 on November 6, 2008 at 12:13 AM
Palin was kind of ditzy. We made her into something she was not.
keep the change on November 6, 2008 at 12:13 AM
The turncoat campaign aides who should have their reputations ruined and be run out of the party…unless of course they are telling the truth, and if they are, they should make their accusations on the records. If they won’t state their issues on the record, they should not be quoted. Palin is being attacked, yet due to the anonymity of it, she has no ability to confront her accusers. And Carl Cameron is an unfair cowardly attacker. Get them on the record Carl, or don’t repeat it. He’s a smearmonger.
JustTruth101 on November 6, 2008 at 12:13 AM
And the thought of Romney as the candidate who is going to restore this party just doesn’t sit right with me. He has no emotion, he will not connect with the base — if he did he would have won this round, regardless of the media push for mccain.
Capital Mess on November 6, 2008 at 12:14 AM
Sarah…you have NOTHING to apologize for! You keep speaking for all of us hard working Americans!

I’m disgusted at the smearing of Palin by the GOP and Fox News. My wife and I both assert that we would not have voted at all if it hadn’t been for Palin being on the ticket. McCain is fortunate he had a drawing card in Palin for many of us GOP voters. It looks like the GOP is still the Stupid Party as it continues to shoot itself in the foot.

No, CanadianGuy, we are NOT cool with anonymous leaks and anonymous sources…that’s what we are si pissed off about.
JustTruth101 on November 6, 2008 at 12:15 AM
He may’ve mispoke. He said she was “wrapped” in a “bathrobe”. Maybe it’s just me, but you usually don’t say “wrapped” when talking about wearing a bathrobe.
amerpundit on November 6, 2008 at 12:16 AM
Like Sullivan … just asking questions
Is John McCain a Crook?
CanadianGuy on November 6, 2008 at 12:17 AM
Her reputation has been damaged by this. I don’t know if she can recover. She was an ordinary person, who could pack in the crowds, so she had to go.
DFCtomm on November 6, 2008 at 12:17 AM
Who are these “insiders”? Let’s have some names. How bout coming out personally to stand by those charges. Where was the evidence for these so-called “irritations” and “lack of knowledge”? I want names, dates, and documented evidence that Sarah actually said, or did any of those things. Until then all this is media/back door political gossip. Someone in the McCain camp has an agenda, and it isn’t conservative.
O’Reilly doesn’t surprise me in any of this, he’s a ratings whore and could care less about the truth. But, I had more respect for Cameron. Shame on you Carl for using petty gossip for media attention.
Wow, I guess Sarah really did put a weed up someone’s hiney over there. Glad to see somebody did.
Joe Pyne on November 6, 2008 at 12:18 AM
Someone at FoxNews, whether its Roger Ailes or whoever near the top, has put the order out to try and make Sarah Palin look as bad as possible through sharing these TOTALLY UNVERIFIABLE stories of what allegedly occured during the campaign.
I see this as their effort to end Palin’s political career so that she never runs again for anything outside of Alaska.
Of course, that effort will fail, and she will be out in the public and doing better than ever very soon. Her supporters will not let her just slip away into an obscure political career in Alaska.
TheMightyQuinn on November 6, 2008 at 12:18 AM
There is something really wrong with all of this crap being dumped on Sarah. Are they trying to destroy the entire republican party because she captured the base of the party? Either they don’t know what they are doing or they know exactly what they are doing. There is something rotten in Denmark when she is made the scape-goat for everything. You know, it seems like this woman can’t do anything.
cjs1943 on November 6, 2008 at 12:19 AM
McCain claims that the loss was his fault but then allows his “aides” to attack Palin anonymously behind the scenes to end up blaming her anyway!
IF McCain has anything to do with this smear, he is a coward–nothing like the man who refused to leave his comrades behind.
Capital Mess on November 6, 2008 at 12:19 AM
Hey, the election is over, Repubs lost. Leave the damn woman alone! Repub elites would rather lose an election than to cater to a female governor from Alaska. You got it!
d1carter on November 6, 2008 at 12:19 AM
Hmmmmmmmmm….I may just have figured this out. Forgive me for being so slow…it’s the bathrobe/bath towel thing. It’s not just because she’s so popular, it IS because she’s a woman…so the old boy network HAS to destroy her. Dang, I always thought Cameron looked like a mommas boy, but he really does have issues…think about it. A powerful, popular woman as a potential leader. Lesser men MUST destroy. I am so disgusted now, I have to quit coming here to HA. I have better things to do with my life. Bye y’all.
JustTruth101 on November 6, 2008 at 12:19 AM
And Bill O, try to hide the fact that you’re a back bencher, pseudo Republican a little better. We get it, don’t rub it in — it’s tacky.
Capital Mess on November 6, 2008 at 12:20 AM
So Palin appears in a bathrobe and she is unfit.

Someone on another thread said it first: I can’t wait for the media to realize how much their ratings have dropped by not reporting on the color of the barf Lohan left on Hollywood Blvd.

I don’t even want to watch the segment. Just reading about it makes me sick and angry.

Good thing a crypto-Marxist didn’t just win the presidency so that these more important bathrobe stories can be covered.

Why are you doing this?
Connie on November 6, 2008 at 12:21 AM
Now we’re coming up with Roger Ailes conspiracy theories? Networks run with unverified, anonymously sourced stories all the time. In fact, Fox News reported that Palin was chosen as VP without verification and through only anonymous sources.
amerpundit on November 6, 2008 at 12:22 AM
She has a history of turning on the men that bring her into their circle. My guess she went a little mavricky and this is the attempt to put her down before she causes any problems in 2012.
DFCtomm on November 6, 2008 at 12:22 AM
I can’t believe anyone would even say anything about Palin involving a bathrobe or whatever it was!
What the hell does it have to do with her politics? Are they trying to paint her as a trashy woman?
Give me a break. I’m more angry about the way theyre treating her than I am about losing to Obama, right now.
Capital Mess on November 6, 2008 at 12:22 AM
I’m glad Fox is giving the MSM more ammo to destroy Palin. Looks like they are preparing to fall in line with the other nutjobs. Somehow they’ll spin this issue in 4 years and drag her through the mud if/when she runs.
pmanley on November 6, 2008 at 12:23 AM
Figures, Fox like threst of the media can’t spend resources and time to report on Obama’s shortcomings, the credit card fraud, the voter registration fraud, or any of the thousand bits of cr*p about Obama but they can dip down into the sewer and conver themselves with
shiglory reporting this dreck.Just another reason why I haven’t watched them in over a year.
johnsteele on November 6, 2008 at 12:24 AM
That belligerent, bloviating boor has always maintained he is neither conservative nor republican. He’s a populist ratings whore. The difference between O’Reilly and Olbermann is that O’Reilly is honest more often than not. Other than that, they’re both entertainers.
MadisonConservative on November 6, 2008 at 12:24 AM
Wow… anony-mice said and anony-mice has always been the most credible source…
I have seen Sarah Palin in debate… the handlers screwed up trying to debut her to the real MSM divas. Things would have gone a lot smoother if she had been allowed to interact with the press she meet on her campaign journey.
Bottom line, McCain was my next to last pick in the primaries and would not have been the candidate except that independents et al were allowed to pick him.
Laurence on November 6, 2008 at 12:24 AM
An unnamed source told me that Bill O’Reilly has a shoe cam.

johnsteele on November 6, 2008 at 12:25 AM
McCain’s daughter’s blog has bloody photos of Cindy McCain in a bathrobe and bare feet talking to Cindy and some visiting dude in a hotel room. For the love of Mike – Palin can’t dress like a hockey mum, can’t get dressed herself – has to be dressed by the RNC, can’t shop for herself, can’t even wear a bathrobe in a hotel room. What a bunch of classless morons.
saint on November 6, 2008 at 12:26 AM
And your credible, easily verifiable, evidence for this is?
No “one source said” stuff. Give me names, dates, quotes, etc.
Joe Pyne on November 6, 2008 at 12:26 AM
Why do the loser’s aides always do this? The Kerry guys did the same thing. No class.
Speedwagon82 on November 6, 2008 at 12:26 AM
That Nicole Wallace woman looks like a real snake.
My guess is they did botch her rollout and when the conservative backlash started, Nicole and other narcissistic losers like her took it that Palin was behind it.
Sarah, no need to be high-minded about this. You have already got Randy behind you. Fight back. Throw Mccain under the bus, if need be. But do it subtly. You have got to fight back.

The post-election MSM coup d’etat, now?
profitsbeard on November 6, 2008 at 12:27 AM
John McCain is not responsible for any of this. He doesn’t need a new job- the aides do.
This is akin to Bob Schrum dishing dirt on Edwards (but not the really good, baby daddy stuff).
It has nothing to do with McCain.
MayBee on November 6, 2008 at 12:27 AM
She can’t wear a bathrobe after a shower? What did they expect she would walk in naked on them?

SHE REDUCED THE STAFF TO TEARS!?!?!

She just stepped out of the shower and they came to her door knocking, did they want her to answer the door naked?
I can’t believe this video. I’m sick to my stomach.
Capital Mess on November 6, 2008 at 12:28 AM
I think Fox News has changed direction so that they can have access to people in nObama’s admin. You know darn well how nObama doesn’t like Fox News. I bet the Fox News guy at the presidential briefings won’t get to ask any questions or if he does, will be thrown out of the news room for being divisive.
cjs1943 on November 6, 2008 at 12:29 AM
So let me get this straight: they’d have us believe that Palin – who negotiated a complex natural gas pipeline pact with a Canadian company and govt. figures in Canada – couldn’t name the THREE countries in the NORTH AMERICAN Free Trade agreement?!?
Yea, I call bullsh*t.

My Gawd, she could have been Finnish and invited them into the sauna. How could you miss that part, Bill?
Bill O’Reilly. Aqualung with Botox.
Limerick on November 6, 2008 at 12:30 AM
I have no doubt that there was tension and disagreement from Palin and her staff after the pathetic way the McCain staff rolled her out,tried to mold and control her message,and toss her to the left wing media right off the bat.
Palin handled herself very well in Alaska during her campaigns and handled some stiff competition from well funded and experienced politicians.
When the McCain campaign let Palin be Palin,she did very well on the road,in local interviews,and in her VP debate.
This is complete and utter bullsh!t coming from a campaign
that allowed Obama to frame and get away with issue after
issue (especially the ties to Fannie/Freddie/Rev. Wright).
McCain had very little support from the base and would have
been beaten by more than 20 points if not for Palin being added to the ticket.
I hope Sara Cuda b!tch slaps the hell out of McCain and his
staff for trying to divert their campaign mistakes and throw the blame on the real driving force of this ticket and the only hope it had to succeed.
They are making a very big mistake with this and providing
the left with validation that adding her to the ticket was only a political stunt and not because she had what it takes
to lead.
Very,very,very big mistake doing this McCain.
Baxter Greene on November 6, 2008 at 12:30 AM
Did Mccain, Romney or some other big shot waiting for his chance on 2012 strike out a deal with Fox to squelch Palin?
promachus on November 6, 2008 at 12:30 AM
It seems inevitable. I couldn’t watch anyone on Fox today, especially Shep and his new found love affair with the Obama family.
pmanley on November 6, 2008 at 12:31 AM
You confuse me for someone who cares about what you think. Google Sarah Palin, and read.
DFCtomm on November 6, 2008 at 12:31 AM
Yeah, but who is going to call bullsh*t for her publicly though? Why do I feel like no one will come to her defense?
Politics is so damn dirty, man.
God Bless Sarah Palin.
Capital Mess on November 6, 2008 at 12:31 AM
The idea that Romney’s people are doing this is just as dirty as the stories themselves.
Firstly, there is very little chance Romney will ever run for elected office again.
Secondly, this is all heresay and inuendo and is not what is needed in a party that needs to rebuild.
Are there an adults left in the Republican party?

Grow a spine and stand by your stories, “sources”. If you’re going to continue to tear down a woman who never asked for the job your boss offered, a woman on her way home, at least do it in the daylight. Own it.
If you’re fine with going through life as a coward, then you’re already dead inside and may as well end the charade.
joewm315 on November 6, 2008 at 12:33 AM
You know Mccain went to extreme lengths to stop any criticism of Obama, however legitimate. Now, if he’s a decent man, he should come to the aid of Palin and out a complete stop to this. It’s his advisers who are doing this.
promachus on November 6, 2008 at 12:33 AM
Hear Say
Kini on November 6, 2008 at 12:33 AM
Every complaint that this story claims that Palin was making, ie: how McCain’s staff was mishandling her, I was making from the beginning as well. It was pretty damned clear to most of us watching that they were mishandling her badly from day one. No wonder she would get ticked off, if indeed she even did.
If, as the story claims, Palin’s handlers were so terribly worried about her ‘knowledge,’ then why were Gibson and Couric, two established big network liberals, granted the first interviews? And why were the first interviews so long? It simply does not compute. The purpose was for Palin to sell the public on her credibility as a VP, not to prove she could go mano a mano with high profiles big media liberal interviewers who were out to nail her. Why didn’t they roll her out, and get her some practice in a friendlier venue? Even pro-athletes get warm-up games before the season. Why was she withheld for weeks from LImbaugh, Hannity, Medved, Hewitt, Ingraham and the rest of the conservative side of the media? It is unfathomable that Palin’s handlers were so shockingly incompetent, and even more shocking now to see them scrambling to bad mouth her every chance they get. Who does it serve now to try to destroy her in total after the fact?
If the idea for these handlers is to try to get other jobs with other future candidates how does it help them to become known as leakers? None of it makes much sense when you think about it. It just doesn’t smell right.
Mr A on November 6, 2008 at 12:33 AM
Re: the update
If you’ll recall, Allah, in the time after the announcement of Palin as the running mate and before the convention, McCain, Palin, Romney and Graham were travelling everywhere together.
But your first point holds up; that, if Romney wanted to sabotage McCain/Palin, he’d have done it before the election.

I see DFCtomm has not returned with his evidence to confirm his statement that Palin causes trouble with the men in her life.
Ladies and Gentleman of Hot Air, this is exactly what is wrong with today’s political theatre. All talk, bluster, unverifiable accusations, and downright lies. And you know what? They get away with it because no one will call them on it. They’re bluffing. The are taking a risk, but a risk without consequences, that they can lie and make up stories all they want, because no one will dare challenge their argument or accusation. McCain failed to challenge Obama, and Bush failed to challenge the Democrats. They make stuff up whole cloth, then gamble that no one will notice it’s rubbish. And you know what? We don’t!
That’s one of the reasons we now have a President-Elect Obama.

Carl Cameron & Shepard Smith have single handedly turned Fox News into TMZ & PerezHilton. What the hell is going on over there? Is the Fairness Doctrine a self impossed dictate from Barry?
This Palin Bash fest infuriates me because I can name atleast 35 people I know who are repubs who were going to sit this one out until McCain picked her as the VP Pick. We all knew McCain was just a RINO, if anything McCain is a moderate Democrat.
What world is this? In one election, we have repubs turning on one another, Palin Bashing by the campaign SHE CARRIED DRAGGING & SCREAMING OVER THE FINISH LINE!!
Is it just me, or is it THE WOMEN CANDIDATES OF 2008 that carried all the water for the Male candidates?
1. Hillary pretty much delivered Obama the presidency by endorsing him. There was alot of Hate from the Hill supporters. She convinced them to support Barry. Hillary was also the most effective at attacking Barry.
2. Sarah Palin attacked Barry where it hurts in her 25 minute acceptence speech, than McCain did the whole campaign. He had to be DRAGGED to the campaign attacks.
Sarah Palin & Hillary Clinton had more balls than Obama & McCain.

MadisonConservative on November 6, 2008 at 12:39 AM
Love it, so now FOX is part of the MSM. Didn’t watch it all, but was told Bill ripped him at the end. So, she may be enough of a threat that their going to finish her off now? Isn’t it interesting that a college grad, and daughter of two educators didn’t know that Africa was a land mass. This could get very nasty.
N4646W on November 6, 2008 at 12:39 AM
Ok I saw Bill O’Reilly tonight and heard the story. If she is guilty of excessive shopping I can see where stress & pressure could be the catalyst, and even “gaps” in knowledge and stubbornness in being instructed, I can forgive her these things as along as she gets them in check, its not like she left babies to die in soiled utility rooms and had Marxists friends in her closet. She also connects well with people like me who became a Republican because of moral concerns within our culture. I can give her another shot.
Irenaeus on November 6, 2008 at 12:39 AM
Why are some of you putting the blame on Romney. He has come out earlier saying he wouldn’t be running for office. What does he have to gain from this? He loses big time if he is the source of this crap. I think the Huckster would be a more likely candidate, but he wasn’t part of the campaign. So, who else was associated with the campaign and expects to make hay out of the destruction of Sarah? Graham? Guilliana? Lieberman?
cjs1943 on November 6, 2008 at 12:40 AM
Also, I love how Palin’s “knowledge” is again a factor!
You just elected a “President” who accomplished NOTHING, his entire life..except for being a manipulative, opportunist, chameleon, ball of clay with the worst intentions.
“Iran is a tiny country, not a serious threat!”
“Saving babies gasping for air is above my pay grade”
“Let’s bankrupt the coal industry”
“Palestinians have a right to hate Israel”
“Georgia deserved to be attacked”
BUT OH, PALIN WAS IN A BATHROBE, MAKING HANDLERS CRY BECAUSE SHE IS SO MEAN AND DID YOU KNOW SHE IS A SHOP A HOLIC?
I guess the country “overcame” the race issue, but women who are the least bit attractive and successful are still dumb bimbos who only have their looks going for them!!
Maybe Sarah should stop taking care of herself! Chop her hair off, put on a pant suit and shoot up some testosterone. It’s the only way she’ll ever be accepted!
Capital Mess on November 6, 2008 at 12:41 AM
Obama is thinking of naming his new puppy Shep O’Reilly.

Palin didn’t loss her cool when she was gagged by the
those radio jerks. She never lost her cool on the stumps.
She carried McCain and the party while she was on tour.
Always had the crowds on fire and now these Staffers and
press weasles make her out to be a liability. BULL$HIT.
I don’t believe any of this. Cameron should know better.
This is all petty BS. And why is it a Repub can’t make a mistake and the libs can almost committ murder and be hailed for it. FOX NEWS Lost another viewer.

In the meantime Algore sharpens his green sword to cut the heart out of capitalism.

Michelle points out that the McCain camp had no problems with Megan McCain photographing and putting on her blog of Cindy McCain in a bathroom
So why the double standard ?

Not to mention Supreme Court Justice John Edwards preparing his majority opinion on Roe v Wade.

Don’t get you’re panties in a wad she seems to have done the right thing in all the cases she went maverick, but it doesn’t win you friends. It’s too late to google it and wade through all the stories that have been written about her. Take my word the story wasn’t a tear down.

There you go folks, there’s his solid evidence for his statement that Palin cannot get along with the men in her “circle.”
Rosie O’Donnell (”Gulf of Tonkin, Google it”) was more of an influence than we thought.

‘Cause thats the way it works in the wonderful world of the Beltway. We need to move the capitol to an abandoned strip mall in Ottuma Iowa.

How about the Atol we used for the Nuke test? Then we could get the military to retarget it.

Screw McCain and his incompetent lowlife staffers! I’m not a Palin fanatic but my opinion of her remains undiminished by their transparent attempts to cover their azzes.
They certainly take after their boss, don’t they?
