McCain Camp Fires Back At Palin

Top aides to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign hit back at Sarah Palin Friday and Saturday, calling the former vice presidential nominee's soon-to-be-released book "revisionist and self serving" "fiction."

Campaign manager Steve Schmidt, who emerges as Palin's nemesis in the advance excerpts that have surfaced from her forthcoming account of the campaign, "Going Rogue," told POLITICO Saturday that Palin's charges about him were made up.

"It's all fiction," he said.

With a laugh, the shaved-headed political operative asked: "Why is the bald guy always the villain?"
