A top McCain adviser recently said this:

“[Sarah Palin] is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone. 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.”

Wow. If it was just the diva part, you could crack it up to frustrations with campaigning. But to say that she has no relationship of trust with anyone, not even McCain, and *not even her family*?!? This sounds like someone who doesn’t think she’s even fit to be a mother to her children.

You would think McCain would have really hit down hard on his staff after that came out, but instead we get another word the next day about Palin. “Whackjob.” Well, I knew it, and now we know that McCain’s people know it too.

And as for this “gotcha” stuff about Obama saying he wants to “spread the wealth around,” that’s pretty funny coming from the governor of Alaska, which because it has more oil than people, it gets tons of free money just for living there. As Palin herswelf said:

“And Alaska – we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”

McCain’s said it too:

McCain, Oct. 12, 2000: [W]e feel, obviously, that wealthy people can afford more.
….
And I think middle-income Americans, working Americans … all of the taxes that working Americans pay, I think they – you would think that they also deserve significant relief, in my view.
…
[H]ere’s what I really believe, that when you are – reach a certain level of comfort, there’s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more.

St. Reagan also enacted “redistribution” of wealth as well:
