"desperate" campaign which "took one of the great leaps of faith in American political history."
...more like the biggest gamble ... he does like to roll the dice.

My dislike of Palin ocurred right from the gitgo.... hateful derogatory speeches at the direction of her masters.... the United States needs to get back to the politics of civility and a female attack dog is not a pretty picture.

Maybe it was this exposé in Vanity Fair that finally convinced her that her political career is hopeless.

The only egotist here is Purdum. HA too bad he's wasting his superiority since nobody reads that rag anyway.

So why does this frisson of fear pass through my body when I imagine Sarah Palin and her family in charge? Purdum's manipulation of the language is sheer brilliance, and he does raise some powerful issues, don't you think?

Purdum's multiple flagrant use of anonymous sources makes me uncomfortable.

He references anonymous sources then goes on to "explain" what "they" allegedly said.

His "analysis" is speculative gossip.

We need some genuine journalists---the kind that are able to get their sources to speak on the record.

Are you serious? Vanity Fair is probably the best mag on the market.

McCain won the election for Obama by his poor choices... thankfully he made them before the election,
