Praising Palin with faint damnation

This Politico article ("Palin’s cold shoulder - Kenneth P. Vogel") actually enhances Gov. Sarah Palin's maverick reputation, in my estimation, but you need to read the entire article. I especially like the verbiage pulled out of a "wrongful termination" complaint/pleading, which was ultimately dismissed (the only pleading you could expect to be more borderline defamatory would be a divorce petition . . . GET PALIN %&$@%#^*&+!!!!)

From the article:
While Sarah Palin’s supporters tout her personal warmth and openness, the newly minted Republican vice presidential nominee can be brusque to allies, advisers and employees who fall from her favor.

Palin has unceremoniously ended relationships with an aide who was dating a family friend’s soon-to-be ex-wife, a campaign adviser whose mother-in-law fought Palin’s legislative agenda, a local political mentor who she felt represented the “old boys' network,” a police chief who she said tried to intimidate her with “stern look[s]” and a state commissioner who refused to fire her sister’s ex-husband.
I was discussing this weekend with a close relative the uneasy feeling I get when an opposing party's attorney begins to demonstrate a willingness to throw his client under the bus in the interest of a quick resolution of a lawsuit. Unlike Palin (it seems), such attorneys forget who they work for.
