According to Gawker, “Palin’s Campaign Chaperone Eviscerates Her for Lying in Book.” The campaign chaperone in question is Nicole Wallace, who went on Rachel Maddow’s show last night to make a flurry of accusations against Palin.
The problem here is that Nicole Wallace is simply not credible. Along with McCain campaign top aide Steve Schmidt, Wallace was widely presumed to behind anonymous leaks smearing Palin calling her a “whack job” and suggesting she had postpartum depression. Additionally, this summer, I unearthed internal McCain campaign emails that showing that Wallace was involved in peddling false stories to the New York Times involving other McCain campaign personnel. The fact that the supposedly Republican Wallace lacks credibility probably explains why she’s making these claims on The Rachel Maddow Show. The liberal talk show host is clearly more interested in attacking Palin then the credibility of those attacks.
