GOP, re: Team Palin: "The gang that couldn't shoot straight" Greta Van Susteren is furious

By GottaLaff

My BuzzFlash guru, Mark Karlin, shared this little gem with me, along with that other Bachmann one down thread. He's got a million of 'em, folks. Get ready. It's time for another episode of "Republicans Eating Their Own":

Interviews with Alaska and Washington-based GOP political professionals who are familiar with the Palin operation describe the governor's team as a gang that couldn't shoot straight, a staff whose failure to execute basic political maneuvers too often entangles the governor in awkward and embarrassing situations that could have easily been avoided.

Fox News host Greta van Susteren and her husband, John Coale, came in for particular scrutiny.

Team Grabby McEarmarks? Awkward and embarrassing? No way! I'm shocked. She always seemed so together, so down-to-earth. So One of Us. What could have possibly gone wrong? Just ask ::drama sting:: Faux News' Greta Van Susteren (that links to the original post)-- "one of Palin's key missteps since the election was 'Taking advice from Greta and her husband.'":

On Sunday, Van Susteren responded on her blog, calling the article false and "silly" and calling out Politico reporter Jonathan Martin: "What is even more bizarre is that it is co-authored by Jonathan Martin who has been ON THE RECORD at 10pm and he never even called me to check one fact with me. Here is a picture of Jonathan Martin in case you have forgotten him from his many appearances on our show. ... Fact checking seems to be a lost art."

Greta denied she has ever offered Palin political advice:

Advice from me? huh? I am flattered someone would think people take advice from me but this is fanciful.

For the rest of Greta's extensive rant, go here. It's delightful in its irony. Imagine: A Faux News personality suddenly concerned about fact checking.
