John Coale, Greta Van Susteren's Husband, Advising Sarah Palin

The Fix/Washington Post:

So, who are the figures charged with guiding Palin's political image in Washington? Here's the lineup based on our conversations with informed strategists.

• John Coale: Coale, a well-known Washington lawyer and the husband of Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren, drew national media attention when he endorsed Sen. John McCain's presidential bid in protest of the way in which Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who he backed in the primary, was treated. Coale, in an interview with the Fix, described himself simply as a "friend" of the Alaska governor but acknowledged that he suggested she start a leadership PAC and helped her navigate through some of the questions surrounding her family that lingered after the campaign. Others familiar with Palin's political team insist that Coale has far more power than he is letting on -- essentially helping to run Sarah PAC. Coale demurred on that front, noting only that he talks to Palin regularly and that she is a "fascinating person" who is "definitely not what the right thinks or the left thinks."

Michael Jackson, A-Rod, Joe the Plumber, Bernie Madoff appear to be "fascinating", too, to a certain segment of people out there, but that doesn't mean they should be close to becoming president.

Alaska has "solicited and received more federal dollars per capita than any other state in the union."

It's funny. Greta admitted this on her blog (not mentioning her hubbys cash help) and all her minions are defending her telling her she did'nt have to expose herself!!! She's got herself a loyal following there, though few and paid!! LOL

[MyGuyO]

Ah, ummm, Greta....the word "fascination" you use actually means dense and/or imcompetent.

I've seen the way you look at SP when interviewing .... You look mesmorized.

[ZellaBee]

CoS cult members.

Hummm, I though Palin was suposed to be working for the state of Alaska, you know, working on that phantam pipline, while shooting wolves on federal land from the air (Alaskans twice voted AGAINST any wolf kill) but does she care?

[JustMe133]

This has finally been admitted by greta on her blog. Guess she figured its out now! LOL

[JUSTIFY]

This finally broke? Why it take so long?

[JUSTIFY]

Well we now know that Gretas husband Coale is the one who gave Sarah the money to start up the SarahPac!! Greta finally fessed up to it today on her blog to her followers which she kept such a secret all this time! No wonder she's always flying out to Alaska and ready to attack anyone and everyone that might have something negative to say about that family!!

According to Mudflats, folks in New Hampshire are already getting robo-call polling questions about Palin. This toxic piece of mess is definitely eyeing the White House.

[Subversive]

Gret has a blatant conflict of interest and she needs to come out about it. Imagine what the right would say if Keith Olbermann had been "advising" the Obama campaign last year. Oh. My. God!!

[luvangelHussein330]

Nothing like a little conflict of intrest between lovers... No wonder gretta was humping "Failin' Palin's" leg in the Fuax News interview...
On another note Gretta has a husband...wtf? Are they sure they aren't confusing Gretta without make up with Gretta with makeup...?

[patianneb]

If Greta finds Sara "fascinating" I've just learned everything worthwhile there is to know about Greta.

If Greta's husband can convince America that a Sarah Palin's resume is good enough for the highest job in the land then he deserves all the royalties he can get.

I want to see how he convinces EDUCATED WOMEN that Sarah Palin's piddly little community college journalism degree (Which took her 6 years and 5 different "colleges" to achieve) is enough education to run America.

Sarah Palin is a female George W. Bush....... with LESS education.

I am horrified that Republicans GENUINELY BELIEVE that she is intelligent enough to take the hardest job in America.

America has not waited this long for a female president to give the undereducated, incurious and small minded Sarah Palin the honor.

[javagirl322]

AMEN....

[bibimimi]

5 colleges in 4 years vs. Harvard degree. In the real world, the obvious outcome.

[CabaretArtist]

Here. Here.

Where do you spend your quiet time, I mean where do you go to generate so much hate? Or do you just read the Huffington Post, Daily KO's and fine publications like that.

[vegancheesenut]

why do you hate the truth???

[JUSTIFY]

What's hateful about this? It's the truth. Something Greta just now has finally admitted to her fans on her blogsite! Guess she figured they'd hear it somewhere else sooner or later! Oh and her hubby also put up the money for Sarah to start SarahPac!
