Sen. John McCain brushed off the semi-controversy over his former running mate’s visor Sunday, attributing the blog and talk show chatter about Sarah Palin’s vacation attire to “hysterical attacks” from the left.

The former Alaska governor was photographed wearing a “McCain-Palin” visor with McCain’s name crossed out while she was on vacation in Hawaii. She claimed she was just trying to go “incognito,” but reportedly cut her vacation short.

McCain told “Fox News Sunday” he understands Palin’s explanation, and said he has a “wonderful relationship” with her family.

“Can’t you take her at her word?” he said. “She’s going to be a force in the Republican Party for a long time and the hysterical attacks on her from the left continue to validate that.”

Sarah Palin’s new book, Going Rogue, contains a certain amount of score-settling aimed at former McCain campaign aides, so what does John McCain think of the book?

McCain received a signed copy of Going Rogue on November 12th and reported on Saturday that he enjoyed reading running mate Sarah Palin’s new memoir.

“I enjoyed the book and she and I are dear friends. I talked to her on the phone yesterday. We got along fine,” said McCain in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press on the sidelines of the Halifax International Security Forum.

In Going Rogue, Palin explained how she was denied the chance to deliver a concession speech and was often referred to as ‘Going Rogue,’ providing Palin with the title for her memoir. Reports have stated that tension between McCain aides and Palin has continued after the campaign. Steve Schmidt, former top McCain aide said last week that Palin’s description of him in her book was a “fabrication” and “total fiction.”

Despite the tension between Palin and McCain’s aides, McCain continues to say he’s proud of Palin, proud of the campaign they ran and he’s moving forward.
