Chris Matthews Panelists Admit That Sarah Palin Isn't Qualified or Running for President
Looks like the Villagers are finally willing to admit that Sarah the grifter isn't running for anything other than trying to line her own pockets after the WTF moment on Fox News this week.
MATTHEWS: Wow… this brings us to our big question of the week, “Is Sarah Palin hurting Republican hopes of beating Obama?” Rick Stengel, just her whole manner, WTF, those people who use their Blackberries know what that means I guess.
STENGEL: You can’t say that on air right? Look, I think the White House, Democrats think that she’s hurting Republicans. They like the fact that there’s this kind of schism in the party. The thing that I find interesting about it and I don’t know if everybody agrees, its like, where’s her learning curve, right? I mean from the time she was nominated, the last couple of years you’d think she would become sort of more sophisticated about talking…
MATTHEWS: Do you think the curve is going the other way?
STENGEL: I don’t know. Maybe the people who like her don’t want her to have a learning curve. Maybe we are the only ones who do.
MATTHEWS: That is so smart.
MITCHELL: I don’t know if she’s hurting the Republican Party as a party. She’s hurting herself. She is really trivializing herself. She’s marginalizing herself. She’s not presidential and maybe it helps to sell books, but that hasn’t been the case actually in the last cycle. So I think she’s hurting herself and potentially other Republicans.
MATTHEWS: Does this square with running for president even? Does it square for being presidential, the doom comments that are sort of off color, the WTF, things like that.
COOPER: No it doesn’t, but I don’t think that this is necessarily about Sarah Palin being president. It’s much more about the Republican Party and what it does and I think, yes, to a certain extent. But I think the people who love Palin, love Palin and that’s not going to… you know… that’s not going to go away.
MATTHEWS: Bigger question, they put all these people up like Glenn Beck and her and Bachmann. They’re becoming sort of the spokes people, whether they like it… I think they do like it for their point of view. But does that hurt their chance of selling the American people that that point of view should rule the country?
HARRIS: Good for business for them but not good for the Republican Party. She’s not going to hurt the Republican Party long term Chris, because she’s not going to run. So the great 2011 preoccupation but by the fall I think it will be more a more serious race and she won’t be in it.
MATTHEWS: Will the people on the right accept that?
HARRIS: I think they will.
MATTHEWS: The disappearance of their heroes.
HARRIS: Look even among the Republican Party in polls they show that almost a majority don’t want her to run for president and think she’s not qualified.
MATTHEWS: Well said.
and there is always money in the banana stand.
Much less a whole nation. Never mind the fact that she gave up half way trying to run the least densely populated state.
CTHULHU 2012 "Why vote for a lesser evil?"
She's more like broom closet material and I wouldn't let her run that. .
she's not qualified...but we haven't seen that kind of smarts from her die-hard supporters...like Buchanan, Kristol..and the dude (David Frum???) who was so sure she was winking at me (2008) that I almost fell off my couch..'.....
Frum has never been particularly enthralled by Palin.
it was the guy that looks like a pocket gopher that sits in for Hannity once in awhile.
It was Rich Lowry.
that's who looks like a pocket gopher. I couldn't think of his last name.
David Lowrey of Cracker. That would've been a major disappointment.

let her talk.

There are people, millions of them, that think this stupid bimbo idiot is qualified to be president. That is a really scary thought that there are that many braindead fucking morons who actually vote. I mean, look at how many of my fellow Nevadans voted for that lizard brained dipshit Angle. America has always had a strong anti-intellectual streak running through our history but this stuff is really spooky. They actually take pride in their ignorance, they wear it like a badge of honor.
Why is it news that Palin isn't qualified to be President? Why are the MSM still discussing this? Most of us have known this for a LONG time. That some people are now coming to the conclusion the she might not be presidential material just shows either how dimwitted they are or how they refuse to turn away from this very slow and inevitable train wreck. Can we please start talking about Brittney Spears again?
There's plenty of time for them to rally behind bachmann.

Oops, shouldn't that read "FOR running for president", not "or running"?

I think the news is that the media is no longer assuming her candidacy is a foregone conclusion.
Right?

This is an online news magazine. This post isn't news to anyone except Sarah and I'm pretty sure she either doesn't or can't read this blog. I'm not telling you what to post mind. After the tension of following Middle East events perhaps some comic relief is in order.

The only thing Palin is qualified to do is swim up a creek and spawn.

If her learning curve was the same as the graph on a heart moniter she would be declared dead.
Her learning curve has flat-lined. Declare her brain dead.
higher than the West Buttress of Denali....
From a legal point of view she is absolutely qualified to run for president, as are most of the readers of this thread.
But...that is another issue. She is not qualified to be a good mother or anything else in the world. It is about time she just goes away.
Sarah Palin is an actress playing the role of Sarah Palin. She even has a costume that she wears - red top, black skirt or pants with the glasses and the hairdo. Never changes. She comes out, says her lines, collects her check. Like a sitcom. With spinoffs - her daughter and God only knows what else.

All she has to do is open her mouth during the campaign season.
And no one in the GOP will stop her from doing it.
political discussion at it's finest. I still think the knuckledraggers have a right to representation. Now back to Oprah.
Neither does who will have in heart the interest of the American people.
The Koch brothers and their pals(including Rupert Murdoch and Wen Di Deng and the Saudi princeling) have already decided who is going to be the Republican candidate, and the marching orders are right now being given at the Rancho Mirage.

The Koch Brothers candidate wins in 2012, will we riot in the streets like they are doing in Egypt? The Republicans don't know how to govern and they have done nothing but destroy the middle class in this nation.
Saracuda and talk about something else? He's so fascinated he finds it necessary to talk about her on every show. move on Chris and figure her out off air
