    He doesn't need to write a book about her - just do an interview on TDS disputing her claims.

    I used to be the biggest fan of McCain. But the fact that he gave birth to this monster (Palin) will forever stain my fondness for him and what he's done in politics.

    Hit the rewind button to August 24th, 2008. McCain is vetting VP candidates. Steve Schmidt mentions Palin. Ideal scenario, McCain responds with, "Who the fuck is that?" "Oh, she's the Governor of Alaska, Senator." "What the fuck has she done?" "Well, she's a former local news anchor who barely graduated with a BA in Journalism from the University of Fucking Idaho. She was Mayor of Podunk-Wasilla for a few years and now has been Governor for two. Her political career so far has been noted for ethics violations, questionable spending habits on the public dime, sponsoring a bill that allows hunters to shoot wolves from helicopters, and building a gas pipeline. She shits out kids like there's no tomorrow and is generally an idiot." "Fuck-in-A, Schmidt. Are you TRYING to lose this thing for me? Get Lieberman on the phone. We're gonna go bi-partisan on this thing from here on out. Fuck Sarah Palin"

    Again, ideal scenario. #sarahpalin

    If he does write it, you know she will respond in kind--as soon as she finds someone who can read it to her. #sarahpalin

    The biggest difference in their writing styles is that McCain does not use crayons. #sarahpalin

    The usual internal tug-of-war between McCain the Proud and McCain the Craven Opportunist should make this a difficult thing to turn down, but I think his pride will win the day here. #sarahpalin

    And reinforce the association in people's minds? I should think not. Letting us forget his share in bringing her to the national stage is his only hope of forgiveness.

    Besides, such a book would require him to spend inordinate amounts of time with a ghostwriter going over one of the stupidest things he ever did in his life. I can't stand to think about my mistakes for five minutes.

    So I expect it to be out within 6 months. #sarahpalin

    ...thanking the staff for their hard work in the face of her Rainman-like ability to completely Hindenburg every high-profile press opportunity given to her.

    Seriously, Foster. You have a brilliant way with imagery in your words.

    On Palin's detest of the "whacks": Didn't she claim she dressed up as Tina Fey (???why???) for Halloween one year when someone asked her what she thought of Fey's parodies of her?

    She just seems to manufacture the truth as she goes along.

    Related: What did she do to dress up? Wear her hair down and put a pencil behind her ear? #sarahpalin
