Very few of us have never made a mistake.

The list is an extremely short one. Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, Chimpy…… and Caribou Barbie.

She “sets the record straight” by blaming everyone else for every single thing that went wrong. And as we’ve noted before, a lot of these folks can produce proof that Caribou Barbie apparently valued them as friends and advisers just a short time ago.

It matters not. When you’re dealing with a sociopath, the only thing that matters to the sociopath is whether or not you’ve got something they want. As they get what they want from you, it really doesn’t matter to sociopaths whether or not you get hurt on the process. You are unimportant; the sociopath is always fixated on making him or herself happy.

John Bitney is the latest guy who can attest to the hollow shell of rot his former friend is. No soul, no ethics, and no compassion. That’s Caribou Barbie.

Former Gov. Sarah Palin’s book, “Going Rogue,” blames her first legislative director for moves early in her term that helped poison her relationship with state lawmakers. But the ex-aide, John Bitney, calls Palin’s account a fabrication and said he wishes his former boss would leave him alone.

“I’m just pilloried right and left and turned into the big bad wolf here for stuff I didn’t do,” said Bitney, who is now an aide to Valdez Republican Rep. John Harris. “It’s like I’m this fictional character that she’s decided to make me out to be this sort of incompetent slob.”

Palin’s lawyer, Tom Van Flein, responded in an e-mail that Bitney and others have been talking about “their perceptions of, and distortions about” Palin for more than a year, since after she was chosen as Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential running mate.

” ‘Going Rogue’ is Sarah Palin’s book to set the record straight. It is her right to speak about the events that occurred in her administration and neither Mr. Bitney nor anyone else has the right to stifle that speech,” Van Flein said. “The statements in ‘Going Rogue’ speak for themselves, and it is Sarah Palin’s turn to get the truth out there after a year of misrepresentations, half-truths and dissembling by her critics.”

Palin’s writing about Bitney is her most detailed description yet of incidents that helped shape her relationship with legislators. Her bad blood with top legislators of both parties began not long after she took office. By last spring, relationships with many lawmakers from both parties had soured to the point that feuds with the governor overshadowed much of the other legislative business.

Bitney joins a list of people slammed in the book who are calling it fiction, including McCain’s former campaign manager, Steve Schmidt. Bitney, though, has a far deeper relationship with Palin than the others. He was a high school classmate of Palin’s from Wasilla who played a key role as an adviser in her successful 2006 campaign for governor.

Palin’s dealings with Bitney are described on several pages of her memoir, although he is never named and there are no details of his work on her 2006 campaign. Palin refers to him as “my first legislative director” and he comes in for some of the harshest criticism of anyone in the book. That includes observations on his personal grooming, such as, “He turned out to be a BlackBerry games addict who couldn’t seem to keep his lunch off his tie.” Later, in describing one encounter to discuss the budget, Palin writes, “The fact that his shirt was buttoned one button off and his shirt tail was poking through his open fly didn’t exactly inspire confidence.” But Palin’s larger point is that Bitney bungled her relationship with legislators.

Yeah, it’s all Bitney’s fault that she turned out to be an absolutely clueless, vindictive idiot that could not be reasoned with.Of course Bitney is to blame. Just like Katie Couric was insecure, and Caribou Barbie wanted to “help her out” by granting her an interview-and wound up repaying the favor by making her look stupid on national TV. Or take as another example the people of Alaska, who drove her from office when all she was doing was trying to help them. Or how about those RNC elites, who insisted that she spend hundreds of thousands of donor money on herself and her family, even though she was ready to fall out for the campaign in K-Mart duds.

Ah, such selflessness. The woman has spent her entire political career dealing with idiots and incompetents who were out to get her all the time! And some of them masqueraded as her FRIENDS! For DECADES!!!

This stupid white trash sack of shit boggles the mind. It may be forgotten by others that she let people freeze to death so she could spend her time preening for the cameras, but I haven’t forgotten. People like Caribou Barbie belong in a 6′x9′ cell for 23 hours a day, not out on the book circuit.
