Nicolle Wallace Defends Sarah Palin Over Anonymous McCain Campaign Staff Smears

Nicolle Wallace, former CBS political analyst and McCain campaign staffer assigned to Sarah Palin

On NBC’s Today Show, Nicolle Wallace lately of Team McCain and rumored to be behind the latest of Sarah Palin smears defends the Alaska Governor.

Watch the video here.

The latest Flap started with these damning reports by Carl Cameron on the Bill O’Reilly Show.

Key graph from Nicolle Wallace:

Calls the Alaska governor “perhaps the most un-diva politician I’ve ever seen,” and says all she ever saw Palin request was a diet soda.

Last night Bill O’Reilly offered Sarah Palin the opportunity to come on his show and defend herself. In the meantime, a long-time aide of Governor Palin lashed back at Palin’s critics.

Regarding another stinging criticism, Stapleton claims that the Fox News report Thursday — that quoted unnamed sources inside the now defunct McCain campaign, saying Palin didn’t know Africa is a continent — was taken out of context.

Stapleton says that during a briefing session, someone asked Palin to explain the McCain-Palin stance on an issue, and as she was responding, “in the middle, she said, ‘country of Africa’ and somebody instantly wrote it down, and said, ‘Oh, my God, she thinks it’s a country.'”

But Stapleton insists, “She knows it’s a continent. It was just a human mistake, just like Obama saying 57 states. I don’t think anyone ever doubted that Obama knows there are 50 states.”

Now, is the time for Senator John McCain to step up and defend Sarah Palin. All of these charges that she is an airhead shopaholic who meets campaign staffers in a towel are BS and he knows it.

Do the RIGHT thing, Senator McCain.

    John McCain should make a public announcement showing he still supports Sarah Palin and that he was proud to have her as his running mate. The attacks on Sarah have been excessive and cruel. These derogatory allegations are detrimental for any future confidence towards the Republican Party. Because these lies only play into the hands of the Democrats to destroy any future political career for Sarah, I’m asking John McCain to stand by Sarah because the United States of America still needs her.
