Please go away, John Ziegler

  John Ziegler of Sarah Palin fame (?) has decided she is now an unworthy topic of his time.
  Those who despise Sarah Palin will love his latest post, which he entitles: Sarah Palin: Selfish, Hypocritical, Sellout.
  Ziegler, if you'll recall, produced a movie called Media Malpractice: How Obama got elected and Palin was Targeted.
  Ziegler was an enthusiastic supporter of Palin until he suddenly realized he "knew" her in an unpleasing way and consequently decided to reveal this "knowledge" in a Daily Caller piece:

But in spite of being approached by Sarah’s husband Todd only a month ago and specifically discussing the possibility, I won’t be working on any Palin presidential campaign. Why? Well, first of all, contrary to what geniuses like Andrew Sullivan and Howard Dean may want you to believe, there is absolutely no way that she can be elected. I’ve told this to her directly; more than once. While many pundits mistakenly think what she is doing is some Trump-like PR stunt, I’m pretty convinced she is running and in doing so will damage the prospects of any conservative defeating Barack Obama in 2012. 

These aren’t my only concerns. 

There’s also the fact that Sarah’s entire operation is increasingly managed like a CIA field office; that she’s adopted a bunker mentality; that she’s trusting the wrong people, some of whom I know are simply exploiting her. As a result, even those most loyal to her get tossed under the bus, with little or no effort to avoid the collateral damage. Which raises the question: if people like me who would once have taken a bullet for Sarah (and at least figuratively I did many times) can’t get behind her any more, what the hell happened?

  Mr. Ziegler chose to make his documentary.
  Today his very public angst is over the fact that Palin in her role as paid tv commentator suggested it was time for Bachmann to go, a decision that Bachmann confirmed today.
  This trashing of conservatives when one becomes unhappy is distasteful, just as Newt's attacks on Romney are unattractive.
  The winnowing process of vetting and negative ads isn't per se a bad thing; it just seems that some of these people do not know where to draw the line. 
  Reagan's philosophy of not speaking ill of other conservatives was a healthy one.
  Mr. Ziegler needs to just go away and quit complaining.
  The race for Republican presidential candidate started so extremely early this year that we've been inundated with everybody's opinions. 
  It's not inappropriate for Gov. Palin to withhold her endorsement. For Pete's sake, we're going to be hearing about these contests for months yet, and it won't be settled until April 24. In addition, who can blame someone who decides not to run for president, especially after what she's been through?
  It's pretty tiresome to hear this hysterical criticism from our side. We've heard it enough from the Left. 
  To be honest, Michelle Bachmann's campaign wasn't too nice to Palin anyway.
