McCain awaiting Palin's memoir, hopes to learn WTF she was thinking
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Count Sen. John McCain among those who are eagerly awaiting Sarah Palin's upcoming tell-all memoir.

During an event Thursday at Washington's Newseum, the Arizona senator was asked by NBC's David Gregory which part of the former Alaska governor's 432-page memoir he is looking forward to reading the most.

"The part I'm looking forward to most is the part where it energized our campaign and her selection put us ahead in the polls," McCain said of his vice presidential running mate.

The former Republican presidential candidate then volunteered what he is not particularly looking forward to reading.

"The part I am looking forward to least is some of the disagreements that took place within the campaign," the 2008 Republican presidential nominee said.

Both pathetic and comic -- he rolled the dice and came up moose-eyes. All he got for it was a short blip of "Westinghouse effect" attention in the polls, and now he clings to that memory.

1. But it will be interesting to see what Senator McCain has to say if indeed
Palin throws some punches in the book, i.e.:: "we might have won had it not been for the bad decisions made by the McCain people" -type accusations.

I don't think Senator McCain, nor those who worked around him, will be biting their lips much after that.

We shall see. Hopefully, Bible Spice, in all of her hubris and deflection, will have included some good defensive tidbits. It will be all the cablecritters will discuss.
