The GOP Makes Middle School Girls Look Like Supreme Court Justices
You should just read Jonathan Martin’s Politico article for the sheer amount of gossipy, bitchy hate brought out by Todd Purdum’s Sarah Palin piece in Vanity Fair. Basically, Steve Schmidt and Bill Kristol hate each other. And Randy Scheunemann isn’t the biggest Schmidt fan either. The entire piece is full of great little nuggets, but this one, about Expensive Clothing Gate and accusations that Nicole Wallace bought Palin all those clothes and then tried to blame the Alaska Governor, is simply amazing:
But Scheunemann said the clothes controversy was an entirely separate issue and one which he made no mention of in his email to Kristol.
Asked directly if he accused Nicolle Wallace of being the source behind the “diva” leak in his message to Kristol, Scheunemann said: “My e-mail did not accuse Nicolle Wallace. It said something very disparaging about Nicolle but it did not accuse her of being the leak.”
A source familiar with the contents of the email said that Scheunemann actually accused Nicolle Wallace’s husband, Mark Wallace, of being the source of the leak.
When Kristol questioned the likelihood of a male like Mark Wallace using such a gossipy term as diva, this source said, Scheunemann wrote back that Mark Wallace knows something about divas because he’s married to a diva.
So yeah, it basically went down like this:
