More on the Embarracuda. ABC, following up on yesterday's Politico report, has some great blind quotes dissing her:
"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," the advisor told CNN. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her
family or anyone else. Also she is playing for her own future and sees
herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: divas trust only unto
themselves as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all
wisdom.
Am I reading this right -- that she has no relationships of trust even within her own family? Now that is cold. She wouldn't be the first politician whose marriage is a professional or corporate arrangement, dedicated to getting the pol ahead in the world, and who is aloof from the kids. And that last sentence is a killer too. Does Palin even know, deep down, that she knows nothing about federal domestic policy and foreign policy? Does she even know, to paraphrase Rummy, that it's all a vast known unknown for her? Or does she think knowing any of these things is just a trivial irrelevance, something you hand to aides while you go out and bewitch bother and bewilder admirers in $3,500 sport coats you didn't buy honestly?
Meanwhile, naturally, someone is already polling on the GOP 2012 contest. Things aren't looking so good for her there either.
