"A senior McCain adviser was quoted as describing Mrs Palin as "a whack job". Others called her a "diva" and complained she had been "going rogue"."
McCain admits there are 'tensions' between them
Are they mutually exclusive?

"... we don't agree on everything, but that's a lot of fun".
I agree with McCain on this!
You betcha that I think she's a whack-job!
I don't know... when I'm judging the insanity of potential VPs... the gold standard is Aaron Burr. Next to him, Palin looks downright sane.
I like whack-job!
She's used to getting by on knowing very little and faking it. Now her ambitions have put her under an actual microscope, calling her on every trick, and she can't deal.
I like skank better.
she can see Russia from her toilet...

"I don't know... when I'm judging the insanity of potential VPs... the gold standard is Aaron Burr. Next to him, Palin looks downright sane."
Just cause he dueled with Alexander Hamilton and lost doesn't make him insane.
He had a good career as Senator, VP (at least in the small capacity of power afforded to him by Jefferson) and AG of New York.
I think comparing Palin to Burr, in terms of politics at least, is insulting Burr. Ironically, Burr can be considered one of the first feminists. He believed women were intellectually equal to men, thought women should be allowed to get an education and, upon his election the NY Legislature, submitted a bill to allow women to vote. In 1784!
StickToPriest-- Oh, I'm not talkin' about the duel. The guy had a plan to get himself elected governor of New York, then gather together all the New England states and secede. It didn't work, though, because... he lost the election as governor of New York. Oh, and then he decided he wanted to become Emperor of Mexico and annex the Louisiana Territory, and got arrested for treason. He got off, though, because there was no hard proof of his scheme.
Guy may have made some politically astute decisions, and he was smart, but his personality was a little bit... shall we say, unstable sometimes. I mean, the amendment about the Vice President not having to be the second-runner-up in the election was made because of him.
he was still better than the Alaska thing
"Oh, and then he decided he wanted to become Emperor of Mexico and annex the Louisiana Territory, and got arrested for treason. He got off, though, because there was no hard proof of his scheme."
I forgot that was him!!
That plan is one of my favorite parts of U.S. History because of it's sheer ridiculousness.
Okay. Point taken.
I'd still take him over Palin, though.
Oh, come on, who could possibly be worse than Spiro T. Agnew?
Do you think if someone threw water on her, she'd melt?
Hush now. You're speaking of the Future of the Republican Party.
Show some respect.
Show some respecccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccct!
Hey, PJ, I DID show respect. I said she was better than Spiro Agnew.
"I like skank better."
Or in the words of Cloris Leachman...........skanky ho.
"Do you think if someone threw water on her, she'd melt?"
Careful. That might backfire and make her GROW into the amazing fifty foot VP from planet Nome!
Haven't you heard? Sarah Palin is the future of the Republican Party.
That should sink the Republicans next election too.
And to answer the original question ... she's a Whack-job.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Technically, she's a rogue diva whack-job.
"Hauling me over to McCain's table like some picked-up floozie! Or one of those starlets. Out to give the big shots a nice night in town. Is that what you think of me?"
With a little high school bitchy.
