Looks like Bill Kristol read Todd Pardum’s much-ballyhooed Sarah Palin story today, in which several faceless McCain campaigners talk about the, um, complexities of working with the Alaska governor.

Kristol, ever the Palin defender, took issue in a blog post on The Weekly Standard and zeroed in on one McCain aide. Pardum had written, “Some top aides worried about her mental state: was it possible that she was experiencing postpartum depression?”

So Kristol is naming names: “In fact, one aide who raised this possibility in the course of trashing Palin’s mental state to others in the McCain-Palin campaign was Steve Schmidt.”

Oh no, he didn’t!
