Apparently, when David Frum was a speechwriter for President
Bush, he "crossed swords" with Nicolle Wallace over the Harriet
Miers nomination. Wallace, a McCain campaign aide assigned to
Sarah Palin, is
behind the "savage cutting & gutting" of Palin, Frum
says:
Would it not better serve the cause of understanding for Nicole
Wallace to give an on-camera interview to Carl Cameron and
state these points in her own voice - and allow viewers to
asses their credibility? Wallace's fingerprints are all over
these leaks anyway, so it's not as if she has any anonymity to
lose.
Let's see if Wallace denies it. Last week, a source told me that
the McCain campaign had devoted more effort to protecting Wallace
than it did to protecting Palin.
UPDATE: Bill Kristol accuses McCain's campaign
aides of "paranoia":
Staffers going through colleagues' e-mail accounts to try to find
out who was leaking -- that's what your contributions to the
McCain campaign paid for.
