Failed Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin all but endorsed Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Saturday, saying Florida voters should "rage against the machine, vote for Newt."

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro asked the former Alaska governor how Gingrich could claim that he was not a Washington insider after being in Congress for 20 years, including serving as the Speaker of the House.

"Look at the players in the establishment who are fighting so hard against him," Palin explained. "They want to crucify him because he's tapped into that average, everyday tea party grassroots movement that has said enough is enough of the establishment that tries to run the show and tweak rules and laws and regulations for for their own good, and not for our nation's own good. Well, when both party machines -- and many in the media -- are trying to crucify Newt Gingrich for bucking the tide, and bucking the establishment, that tells you something.

She added: "And I say, you know, you got to rage against the machine at this point in order to defend our republic and save what is good and secure and prosperous about our nation. ... So, if for no other reason, rage against the machine, vote for Newt. Annoy a liberal, vote Newt."

Even though polls show otherwise, Palin insisted that Gingrich was also the candidate that had the best chance at beating President Barack Obama in the general election.

"I think that comes down to who can articulate their ideas, their solutions best," she said. "And in a campaign, the way that you articulate that is in a debate. And I've appreciated, again, Newt Gingrich's, his style in debates, his thinking, his way of explaining what it is that he stands for. So I think that in a debate, Newt Gingrich would clobber Barack Obama."

Using violent rhetoric to describe how Gingrich would fair against Obama is nothing new for Fox News employees like Sarah Palin. Last week, Fox News host Steve Doocy claimed that Gingrich would "take off the head of the president" during a debate.

when, after creating it, and using it for their own purposes, they refused to let any of its fine female leaders
rise to the top.

Look what they did to Angle, O'Donnell, Bachmann, and Palin.

Palin needs to be the Iron Lady of the GOP.

..I have already made a recent post here about how the Republican party is not so much driven by angry white men as it is angry white women.

Palin is a very angry white woman, who is predictably & unsurprising enamoured of Newt's white man anger.

What baffles me in all this is why the quintessential angry white woman, Ann Coulter, turned on Newt & cast her lot with the Mormon vulture capitalist.

Because the seething anger Coulter promotes as a Republican lifestyle in her books...Newt is following the advice of the Coulter manuals to a T.

I remember her concern that if romney were the nominee, the 'Thugs would lose. Apparently rupie upped her ante.

Angry white women like Palin and her Tea Party sisterhood are the lower class base, not the boss
of the Republican Party.

Coulter is the dismissive bitch the Bigs boys let in the back room to smoke a cigar and sniff the brandy while the other women finish the nightly chores and tuck in the kids. What she says about liberals in public is probably pretty close to what she says about their "wives" in the back room.

..like Palin and her Tea Party sisterhood may be the lower class base, not the bosses of the Republican Party, but they supply the fuel of hatred & resentment that allows the right wing nutso machine to remain in constant motion.

They also get as much, if not more, TV time that their angry white man counterparts.

So do no under estimate how vital these seething cauldrons of venom are to the Republican party apparatus.

Someone please translate. I've been off the shit for seven+ months now and have no clue what she meant.

I guess she has no idea that the Secret Service guys wouldn't break a sweat outrunning the Newtinator and prevent him from striking the president at all.

Oh don't put words in her mouth. She's far more understandable with other things in it...

Fucks news is this hopeless no-talent's last stand.

Mrs. Palin, famous for her word salads, loaded with cliches and empty of thought, believes herself the arbiter of what constitutes well articulated ideas. Arrogant, preening, self important. Her only relevance to the current political situation is as an object lesson in how shallow and corrupt it has all become.

Only if he has a 10 foot pole.

Sarah really hates that rich guy.

She's like one of those nasty jealous high school society climbers, who hates the people who were born into the social sphere - of which she will never belong.


If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.

I get it. The Machine is broken, so send in Newt... because he's an enormous tool.

Makes more sense than she normally does.
