The McCain/Palin Blame Game: It's On [Epic Failin']
Jezebel —
... , are claiming that "Palin blames her handlers for a botched rollout and a tarnished public image — even as others in McCain's camp blame the pick of the relatively inexperienced Alaska governor, and her public performance, for McCain's decline." In short: it's McCain's fault that Palin looks bad, and it's Palin's fault that McCain looks bad. It's a bit like those fights you used to have with your kid sister, where she'd throw mud at your face, and you'd throw mud back at hers, and then both of you would end up crying with mud in your eyes and yelling, "I wouldn't have ...
