I Would Tap That, My Friend

CNN is reporting that more unscripted Palin remarks are pissing off McCain's top aides. They wish she'd just shut up about McCain giving her $150,000 to buy herself a wardrobe. Unfortunately, the unvetted candidate isn't comfortable about talking about much else without a TelePrompTer. Palin's camp say's she's trying to "bust free" from the way the McCain campaign has mismanaged her image.

McCain sources say Palin has gone off-message several times, and they privately wonder whether the incidents were deliberate. They cited an instance in which she labeled robocalls -- recorded messages often used to attack a candidate's opponent -- "irritating" even as the campaign defended their use. Also, they pointed to her telling reporters she disagreed with the campaign's decision to pull out of Michigan.

A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," this McCain adviser said. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.

"Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."

In this video she uses her only actual talents to flummox both Obama and McCain.
