The NY Times reports that Palin calls McCain aides "cruel and mean-spirited." And of course, she's right.
"It’s immature, it’s unprofessional, and those guys are jerks” - she astutely observes. " Taking things out of context and then [trying] to spread something on national news. It is not fair and not right.” Randy Scheunemann spoke of McCain aides spreading lies.
Although accurate assessments, they will only matter when Palin realizes and admits that these were the people giving her her talking points about Obama; that those who are happy to smear her, are the same ones whose smears about Obama she so forcefully spread.
The Times reports that "Ms. Palin said that her experience made her realize how brutal national politics could be." When she realizes how brutal, cowardly, and dishonest a campaign she was a part of - then she'll have learned something.

I have to say I think she is not that bright, Bustard. I think she will never come to that conclusion especially if she plans to run in 2012. We'll see if a little frigid air gets her back to her senses.

I have no point of view on this. I believe Palin will be a standard bearer for a small group that will not become relevant unless the economy fails much more completely than a one year recession. Republicans will not turn to faces tainted with electoral failure, but to the Jindals and Crists for their future.
If I don't have an opinion, why am I writing? To express my delight at the renaissance of the bustardblog. It's time to banish your site's description of its focus, sweep references to Bush and Cheney away, and focus on analyzing how the forces of darkness will try to block BHO's initiatives and reforms, the better to overcome their obstruction.
Welcome back to the ring.
