Typical GOP Media operative

Man, the saga of Bristol Palin continues to get worse — because of just the lamest media relations instincts in the history of politics of our pals in the GOP and the McCain campaign. Instead of confirming the story and issuing a “tick-tock” — journalist-speak for the series of events leading up to John McCain finding out about the pregnancy of Sarah Palin’s teen daughter — they’re blaming the left-wing bloggers for the entire story coming out.

You gotta be kidding me. Yup, the people who brought you the Swift Boaters — not to mention all of the pathetic “Obama is a Muslim” crap are playing the “evil conspiracy” card. They are all whiny when a fact — not a rumor, not made-up fantasy — is reported. Yeah, sure the whole thing about little Trig was a bit over the top — and not something I was willing to take very seriously — but as wacko as it appeared, there was something to it, as it turns out.

But of course, blame the new media — not the McCain campaign for blundering. Not Sarah Palin. Not Bristol Palin. Not the silly abstinence method of birth control. Nope.

The blogs did it. Really.
