So, I guess Sarah Palin is being too mavericky for the McCain camp. She’s going off-script in her defense of her wardrobe. Because one can be a maverick, but only when the maverick consultants write the talking points. It’s in the dictionary. Look it up.

Several McCain advisers suggested that they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin "going rogue." …

McCain sources say Palin has gone off-message several times, and they
privately wonder whether the incidents were deliberate. They cited an
instance in which she labeled robocalls — recorded messages often used
to attack a candidate’s opponent — "irritating" even as the campaign
defended their use. Also, they pointed to her telling reporters she
disagreed with the campaign’s decision to pull out of Michigan.

They’re calling her a diva and a rogue. Because mavericks are team players. McCain people are privately putting down Palin’s credentials. This isn’t coming from Tina Fey.

They insisted that she needed time to be briefed on national and international issues and on McCain’s record.

"Her lack of fundamental understanding of some key issues was
dramatic," said another McCain source with direct knowledge of the
process to prepare Palin after she was picked. The source said it was
probably the "hardest" to get her "up to speed than any candidate in
history."

Oh, this is getting fun.
