Leaked email exposes Palin/Miller rift. Given a chance to redeem himself, Miller damns Palin with faint praise.


Mudflats broke the news of Todd Palin's anger over Joe Miller's evasiveness when he was asked whether Sarah Palin is qualifed to be President:


...
An irate email written by Todd Palin seems to confirm his wife’s presidential ambition, and revealed his anger at Alaska Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller. The email demands that the treasurer of SarahPAC, Tim Crawford, “hold off on any letter of support for Joe,” and came on the heels of an interview Miller gave to Neil Cavuto on Fox News Sunday. ...


The email in the first box -- from millerlaw -- comments on an email, in the second box, from Todd Palin to Joe Miller, Tim Crawford, SarahPac's treasurer, and Thomas Van Flein, attorney for Palin and Miller:

Does Todd Palin's statement, "I DON'T KNOW IF SHE IS," mean that he doesn't know whether Sarah Palin is going to run or that he doesn't know whether she is qualified to be President? Could he be expressing what he thinks Joe Miller thinks? Joe Miller didn't say, "I don't know."

Salon, from which the post's photo was taken, has a post about the email leak, as does Seattle's Post Intelligencer, whose story also tells of Joe Miller's latest attack on The Constitution: He wants to repeal the seventeenth amendment.


Update:
Today, Miller damned Palin with faint praise: She's constitutionally qualified:

I don't have a copy of Todd Palin's email style-sheet, so I am not sure what he means by "I DON'T KNOW IF SHE IS," but think he may be characterizing Joe Miller's evasiveness. Of course the correct answer to that question is Haley Barbour's, which was something like, "She's constitutionally qualifed," which, by the way, is an excellent example of damning someone with faint praise.

The Mudflats has been doing an excellent job on the story of Joe Miller's poor understanding of The Constitution.

Another recent Mudflats story describes Sarah Palin's paranoia over Pete Rouse's new job as President Obama's Chieif of Staff.

The reaction at Politics Daily is How do you solve a problem like Todd (Palin)?

Alot don't think she is qualified. It could just be a point of pride to be thought to be qualified.

Joe..the problem is your not groveling 24/7 at Sarah's feet.

Joe Miller's "Holy cow" reaction seems to show he is the most rational end of the Palin-Miller axis.

It does pain me to say any teabagger is rational. It may be that he seems rational in comarison to Palin.

The daily beast has article that Todd confirmed it was his email. Of course it was the medias fault for printing private emails. They aren't private after someone shares them. She is so dumb. Does this mean the palinbots r going to turn on Joe now?
