A former aide to Alaska’s quitter Sarah Palin, is finally admitting what the rest of the country already knows, that the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee were way in over her head.
During an interview on The Wendy Williams show, Nicolle Wallace, Palin’s former aide who now co-hosts ABC’s “The View,” said that even Sarah Palin “realized that she was in over her head,”
“Just watching her sort of shrink under the enormity and the scrutiny and the hot bright light of our national political process.”
“We should be happy when anyone wants to go into politics,” the former GOP strategist continued. “We are really hard on our politicians and we should be happy when people want to jump in and do that.”
Williams asked whether Palin was a “crier.”
“No, I’ve seen George Bush more, cry more often than I’ve ever seen – no, no, she wasn’t a crier,” Wallace said.
Williams then delved into Wallace’s strained relationship with Palin.
“I think she was really disappointed with the way she was being handled by the entire staff and I think I was a fair scapegoat,” Wallace said. “I was one of a very small circle of people helping her. And the decisions in hindsight weren’t good ones for her. I mean she didn’t look good. So it was fair to be mad at a staff person, that’s your job.”
“But there’s nothing you can do as a staffer when you sort of lose the confidence of the principal and that’s what happened through the course of the Couric interviews,” Wallace continued.
