Paper claims McCain has been making fun of Palin in private



In a leaked message written by the British ambassador to Washington, the envoy claims that McCain has been "telling friends in recent weeks that Palin is even more trouble than a pitbull," according to a report Wednesday.

In a telegram leaked to the Guardian, Sir Nigel Sheinwald, the British ambassador to Washington, says that McCain has privately been likening Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to a pitbull.

"In one joke doing the rounds, the Republican presidential candidate has been asking friends: what the difference is between Sarah Palin and a pitbull?" the paper says. "The friendly canine eventually lets go, is the McCain punchline."

In examining McCain's discomfort with his now widely-panned running made, the Guardian also noted his "awkward body language between them during his concession speech in Phoenix, Arizona."

"Sheinwald recently wrote a lengthy assessment of McCain in a telegram which winged its way across the Atlantic to Whitehall," the paper added. "The jaws of senior mandarins dropped when they read Sheinwald's account of McCain's thoughts on Palin which the ambassador reportedly picked up from a military friend of McCain's. The telegram was restricted to an even smaller group of people than usual for fear of another embarrassing leak. 'We took one look at this and hid it away,' one Whitehall source said."

Whitehall is a main road in Westminster, England, used as a reference to UK government bureaucracy.

4. I can't help wondering if McCain will eventually be glad that he lost

I think he knows on some level what he could have potentially unleashed on the country. He took very bad advice and it wouldn't surprise me if he had the decency to admit his regret, at least privately.

7. I'm sure that he is already delighted to be free of Palin...

...but as far as losing the presidency, ambition is a very personal and unpredictable thing. When he first threw his hat into the ring, the U.S. and International scene was a little different. I'd be concerned about any man or woman, Democrat or Republican, taking on the current challenges at his age. Look at the aging process of any president, regardless of how smooth or rough their ride might have been. This was bigger than McCain's ability to handle it, and perhaps some day...no matter how reluctantly...he might be fortunate enough to be at peace with that.

5. He should have considered telling his staff to buy her a shock collar

when he let her have that shopping spree - they are remote control operated now.

8. I saw the look on Cindy McCain's face in an interview that said it all.

Someone was interviewing both McCain and his wife, and when McCain started talking about how proud he was of Palin blah blah blah, Cindy McCain had this very telling Oh-my-god-he's-lying-through-his- teeth Look. You could see her physcially trying to keep her eyes from rolling.

9. Sir Nigel needs to be bound, gagged, and ostricized...

This is the same twit who leaked his lily-livered report on an Obama Presidency a little while ago. Sounds like he's trying to make it up with another leak.

It's much easier to respect someone who shouts views you disagree with than someone who whispers them quietly behind your back.

This guy is a blemish on every other person ever knighted by the Queen.
