In her new novel, “It’s Classified,” former McCain campaign adviser Nicolle Wallace freely admits that she based her protagonist, a mentally unfit vice president, on former GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin.
In an interview with Time, Wallace states: “She was often withdrawn, uncommunicative and incapable of performing even the most basic tasks required of her job as McCain’s running mate.”
Wallace goes on to say that there were discussions about whether, if McCain were to win the election, “it would be appropriate for her to be sworn in.”
