Shorter Sarah Palin: I hate you, and you, and you, I don't even know you and I hate your guts.
The blogosphere is buzzing over Ben Smith's new story about the growing rift between the top and bottom of the Republican ticket.
According to Smith's four unnamed sources, Sarah Palin is increasingly disregarding the advice of McCain staffers and going off message.
Smith's sources speculate that the Palin and her partisans envision a political future for her as the leader of a conservative Republican party.
An unidentified McCain aide told CNN that Palin is more interested in her own political future than the wellbeing John McCain's presidential bid. "She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain adviser. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else." (Ouch, that's harsh.)
Anonymous sourcing is always problematic. However the fact that two major publications are reporting this much undisciplined, backbiting talk from so many people in the McCain campaign doesn't speak well of the operation.
