Report: McCain staffers say Palin ‘clueless’

I don’t know Ed Schultz and I don’t know his anonymous sources within the McCain campaign, but it’s hard to imagine there aren’t at least some senior staffers who would validate this report from the radio talk-show host:

Capitol Hill sources are telling me that senior McCain people are more than concerned about Palin. The campaign has held a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as “disastrous.” One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, “What are we going to do?” The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is “clueless.”

Ya think?

If you need convincing, check out this post from earlier today about Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric. In it, Palin argues that being neighbors with Russia gives her foreign-policy experience. Right …

There were also that gem of a critique from Matt Damon and the lamentations of conservative blogger Ross Douthat.
