Former McCain campaign manager: Palin claims 'total fiction'

By GottaLaff

John McCain's former presidential campaign manager Steve Schmidt is calling out Barbie McLipSchmutz. This popular practice is becoming a cottage industry of its own.

Now think back a few months... Remember when B-Lip got punk'd by the Sarkozy impersonator? Via CNN:

"Right away, the phones started ringing," Palin writes. "One of the first calls was Schmidt, and the force of his screaming blew my hair back. 'How can anyone be so stupid?! Why would the president of France call a vice presidential candidate a few days out?!'"

In a telephone conversation with CNN's John King, Schmidt said how he is described and portrayed in the book is "fanciful. [And] total fiction."

In the excerpts, Palin also claims Schmidt tried to put her on a strict eating regimen [...]

"Schmidt started in again, telling Randy what an awful pick I was - the "postpartum" problems, the wardrobe "scandal," "legal exposure" for Todd on Troopergate, whatever he meant by that," Palin writes according to the published excerpts.

Poor Babs.So many people are out to get her. Why would anyone ever do that, considering she's been so inclusive and kind to everyone since she pageant-walked her way into our lives.

This is going to be a long book tour.
