McCain's Boyzzz: Stupid, or Incompetent?

I'll vote for "saddled with the wrong Presidential candidate," but here's an interesting nugget.

Stacy McCain, who predicted the other McCain's loss in September (!!) relates the following:

Let me make a small point about the McCain campaign's hamhanded mishandling of Palin's press relations. Michelle Malkin has been a huge advocate and defender of Sarah Palin...Did anybody at Team Maverick think, "Hey, why don't we hook up Malkin with an exclusive one-on-one with Palin? That would be buzzworthy -- an innovative use of New Media!" No, apparently that blindingly obvious idea never crossed their feeble little minds.

Malkin emailed McCain to clarify the situation a bit.

I was in Denver for the DNC, but not at the RNC. Ed Morrissey was there for Hot Air, though.

Allah and I both requested an interview with Palin for Hot Air. They were somehow never able to make it happen...

Somebody was actually PAYING these idiots to hide Palin from Hot Air/Malkin/Allahpundit, and put her in front of Gibson (The Supercilious) and Couric (the pro-abort marcher.)

Maybe John McCain can get a refund.
