In a war of words reminiscent of Vice President Dan Quayle taking on television character Murphy Brown in the 1992 presidential election, John McCain’s camp is slamming Tina Fey’s impersonation of Governor Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live,” while Cindy McCain is calling out the ladies of “The View.”

“The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial,” McCain advisor Carly Fiorina told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Monday. “I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes I would say sexist.”

“In spite of what you see in the newspapers, and on shows like ‘The View’ — I don’t know if any of you saw ‘The View’ yesterday, they picked our bones clean — in spite of what you see, that’s not what the American people are saying and what they are believing,” Cindy McCain said at the 119th annual Oakland County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner, Saturday night in Michigan, according to ABC News’ Arnab Datta.

...if SNL did a skit suggesting Albert Einstein wasn't smart that anyone would protest and defend his intelligence?  Or if they did a skit suggesting Michael Phelps was not a good swimmer?  Or one suggesting Luciano Pavarotti couldn't sing?

Of course not, it would be ridiculous.

But...it makes perfect sense that McCain's advisors feel a need to defend Palin.

The republican are very sensitive about Palin. The stance could be a tactic to draw  the democrats into a big smokescreen while who knows what is plotted in the background.

Carly Fiorina who could not run HP has a short life in the MAC camp

as a rap gangbanger and his wife as one of his hos.
