McCain '08 campaign told Secret Service to shoot out Palin's tires

After John McCain's presidential campaign decided to withdraw from Michigan, his vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin dissented.

Once the Secret Service learned of Palin's plan to drive to Michigan one morning anyway, it got a blunt response upon asking how to handle it: "Shoot out the tires."

Palin, Gross learns, had a vicious temper during the campaign and was easily set off, yelling often at staffers and even throwing objects. "You just got to let her go through it," her husband Todd once told an aide. "Half the stuff that comes out of her mouth she doesn’t even mean."
