Camp McCain sent former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger to NPR to argue its case. Here’s what happened:
Asked by the host whether Palin could step in during a time of crisis, Eagleburger reverted to sarcasm before leveling the harsh blow.
“It is a very good question,” he said, pausing a few seconds, then adding with a chuckle: “I’m being facetious here. Look, of course not.” …
“Give her some time in the office and I think the answer would be, she will be [pause] adequate. I can’t say that she would be a genius in the job. But I think she would be enough to get us through a four year… well I hope not… get us through whatever period of time was necessary. And I devoutly hope that it would never be tested.”
This is what happens to a brain-dead campaign.
Equally stinging is the implication that she could not retain the job after that term ended.
wow. sounds like some of the republicans have already decided this thing is lost and they’re starting to deliver that harsh treatment that GG yesterday predicted they would give her as payment for her jumping the gun on ’12 and undermining the campaign she happens to be in at the moment.
