From Salon:
And while she and the larger GOP leadership spent the day railing against the liberal media, some of the toughest media hits against Palin were scored not by liberals Wednesday, but by conservatives. Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter/idolator Peggy Noonan and MSNBC analyst Mike Murphy, formerly of the McCain campaign, were caught on an open mic during a commercial break savaging the Palin pick. Noonan called it "political bullshit" and declared it wouldn't work. "It's over," she told Murphy. Murphy called it cynical – even though both of them praised Palin on camera. And while Republicans have been blasting Daily Kos for printing rumors about Palin's last pregnancy and her teenage daughter, Bristol, a worse blow came from the National Review's Byron York, who Wednesday night passed on reporting by the National Enquirer that Palin herself had an affair with her husband Todd's business partner. (The McCain camp denied the story and threatened legal action against the Enquirer.)
