Matalin Thinks Palin is Brilliant--Rollins and Gergen Think She's Toast
By Heather Saturday Jul 04, 2009 12:30pm
What a surprise. Neocon and former Cheney advisor Mary Matalin thinks that Sarah Palin's announcement that she is resigning as Governor of Alaska is just brilliant...brilliant, I tell you. In her world it's a wonderful thing the Governor is cutting and running away from taking care of her state right now which is in a huge mess, and having some time to play politics for 2012 instead.
On the flip side, David Gergen and Ed Rollins think she's toast. I don't always agree with either of them, but I'd take their slant on how this is going to play out before Matalin's any day of the week.
Matalin's hackery and the video of Rollins and Gergen below the fold.
MALVEAUX: I want to bring in Republican strategist and CNN political contributor, Mary Matalin -- Mary, what do you make of this?
We've been getting a lot of different feedback from Republicans, some who are scratching their heads, others who say this is going to damage the party. And -- and there are others who are a little bit more open-minded about what this means for her chances in 2012.
MATALIN: Well, I think it's really brilliant, with two caveats, one being that there's nothing else, ala the Sanford fiasco. There's nothing else that we don't know. If all that's there is what we see right now, it's brilliant.
And, secondly, that she has a plan and people have a plan to put up with the conventional wisdom, chatterati and the political class saying how stupid it is, because it's brilliant.
On the substance, there's the key economic issue -- I know everyone says -- thinks it's health care, but it's really energy. And she's the queen of energy.
And the second big issue for 2012 will be the role of government. And she has a record of reform and ethics reform and making government smaller and reigning in spending -- all those issues that are getting increasingly important as Barack Obama expands on his agenda.
So -- and her delivery was incredible -- a charis -- a less charismatic person probably couldn't pull it off. But as -- as already referenced, she will be freed up and liberated in the way Mitt Romney is here to run around and raise money and get political chips by spending it and get political capital. And she is still raising the kinds of crowds and money that she always did.
So at first blush, to people with -- tainted by the Beltway -- and I include myself. My first reaction was what?
And my second reaction -- because I'm at my farm. I guarantee you, if I go down to the Wal-Mart in the Shenandoah Valley, there will be a huge hoorah for this. And normal Americans like that message of, you know, the price of public service should not be personal destruction...
MALVEAUX: I want to...
MATALIN: ...and the costs of that.
[....]
MALVEAUX: And, Mary, I want to bring you back in.
Do we know -- is there any suspicion that there is something that she might be hiding that we don't know about, that the might be a problem for why she's stepped down out of her position early?
MATALIN: You know, we don't know. But one has to presume that -- and this is how, since she brilliantly raised this -- that these, you know, hoards, these killing locust hoards of APO research have come in there and dug through everything. And what we would presume is that if there was anything else, we -- we would know it by now.
But I just -- the more I think about this, the better I think it is. And she addressed the issue of why she's stepping down quite well by delineating the record. Again, I'm not going to go through it -- but on energy and reform and ethics and small government. She spoke right to that conservative base that wants the substantively smaller government, limited government. And she spoke of Constitutionalism.
I mean, if I were these other candidates, yes, I'd be sending out negatives on her already. But she's taken -- unlike those candidates who have -- potential candidates that are still in office, she takes that big target off her back with a good record to launch from.
Now, that presumes she's going to use this time wisely, not just getting political chips, but, you know, getting deeper -- taking a deeper dive on foreign policy and those -- and the whole panoply of issues that you have to be expected to -- one expects that their presidential aspirants can go long, hard and deep on.
MALVEAUX: Mary Matalin, Peter Hamby, Mark Preston, thank you, all of you, for contributing.
Ed Rollins and David Gergen had a slightly different opinion of how this plays out for a Palin.

Mary Matalin: Republican
strategistturd polisher.I'd say she's discount caviar
Bought at a Walmart you're on your own sale
Just sort of lying there smelling fishy.
This woman wakes up to Carville every morning and worked for Cheney. She wouldn't know truth or justice or genuine emotion if she saw it. Palin quit, ran out, avoided responsibility, shirked, ditched, bailed, and for what now appears to be purely monetary reasons. I am guessing that in a few days the REAL reason she resigned will come out.
getting indicted for numerous felonies is going to look great on Palin's resume.
Excellent!
...they better make sure she don't leave the country untill the investigations are over.
Maybe she can use the Ted Stevens defence; " We don't own the house, it was a gift they wouldn't let us return."
The only issue
That the Palins have is the Palins.
Notice how few REAL issues they actually have.
It's all Sarah all the time.
Does she mention anything else?
No she doesn't - because
She's not interested in anything else.
"Bein' Gubbner of Eel-ask-ah was borin' com-pared tah bein' fawned on by old republican gropers in McHale's Navy, eh Bris-toll?"
Yeah....I'd love to trade in my 'every-day' thing too. Shoot....I don't even get my picture taken....durnit!
One thing you can say about the house it is an architectural feat and an object of beauty.
She's nothing more than a Halloween costume. And a very scary one at that.
Matlin is what is wrong with the Republican Party. Why can't they come to terms with reality? Queen of energy? If Palin knows so much about it why doesn't she do an interview and talk about it? It's becasue it would end up the same way as the Katie Couric interview did.Palin's whole gas pipeline is nuts. If they want gas in the lower 48 we will just get it from Oklahoma or Texas or Colorado or ... It's everywhere. Why would we build a million mile pipeline from Alaska?
Palin's delivery was incredible? What fucking thing was Matlin watching? We went through this yesterday. It was very lame by everybody"s standards except I guess Matlin's. Weird.
The last quote is too much to even comment on. All you need to know is the name of Karl Rove and Max Cleland and the Alabama Governor and Dick Cheney and Scooter and Armatige and the rest of em who leaked Plame's name. This list could go on for miles.
Matlin is a prime example of why the Republican Party is headed for extinction.
...just consider the source.
"But I just -- the more I think about this, the better I think it is. And she addressed the issue of why she's stepping down quite well by delineating the record. Again, I'm not going to go through it -- but on energy and reform and ethics and small government. She spoke right to that conservative base that wants the substantively smaller government, limited government. And she spoke of Constitutionalism."
Uh, Mary? Hello - earth to Mary! I listened to Palin's speech, and it was classic Palin -rambling, incoherent, nonsensical. Now, perhaps you would like to enlighten the rest of us as to how her views (whatever the hell they may actually be) on energy, small government, Constitutionalism (whatever that is) has anything to do with why a duly elected governor is walking out before her term is up. Hmm? Maybe I can give you a clue - it would appear she is about one step ahead of an indictment relating to the 12 million dollar cost overruns incurred in the building of the Wasilla Sports Complex (God, that even reads like some kind of joke). No lie. Apparently she diverted building materials and labor from the Sports Complex project to the construction of her own lakeside mansion. Of course, mary, don't take my word for it. YOu can contact the FBI, since they seemed to have a keen interest in the matter.
I'm hard pressed to think of any subject involving Sarah Palin that had to do with the advancement of effective government policy rather than defending past and or current words, actions, contradictions or personal and political scandals. Her entire political career is a series of blunders, lies and vengeance. WHY is this person even news worthy let alone worthy of public trust?
The GOP zombies keep bringing her up. Really, it's the strangest example of political masochism I've ever seen. They know this woman has proven to be a monumental embarassment to their Party. She's going to be a punchline to jokes for decades to come(perhaps even longer that George W. himself). But rather than let her just disappear, they keep trying to rehabilitate her image. And lo and behold, everytime Palin appears in public, she just reminds people (at least people who don't have a rather unseemly MILF crush) why she's an absolute horse's ass. Oh well, she's sure to get a gig on FOX - maybe as a replacement for Shepard Smith (Watch out, Shep!)
Osage asks, "WHY is this person even news worthy let alone worthy of public trust?"
'Cuz she's cute.
It's all about being a hot mamma, I agree. She won't have those looks much longer though.
"'Cuz she's cute.
Bingo, if she was fat or ugly, no one would give a damn about her. Have her (palin) look good, slutty and wink a lot and they drool! Don't you love the men in the media! Palin is probably up for some big charges or some embarrassing charges or some sort. Matlin, there you have a moron if ever, but then after years of carrying Cheney's lies and being brain washed further by that dead head what can you expect. It is amazing to me what the repugs make themselves believe it is a sad tale indeed. But have to agree that the dems lately have been no better with their lack of spines! They continue to bow to repugs and fight each other when they have the power to make some changes. I swear they are all feeding at the same trough.
Sue
Scarbourgh/Buchanan, and other males drool over her...they can hardly talk about her without breathing hard.....THAT's why she is still such a 'hot' commodity.
she's news worthy because she's a cute milf n/t
The reason the Republicans keep bringing her back is that she's one of the few people who appeal to uninformed average voters. It just becomes more and more obvious that the GOP are a bunch of rich white guys who are greedy and obstructionist in nature. The only wide population base they've got left are the hard-right eliminationist/rascist movements and the religious right. And while the former is growing (despite social stigmas), they're losing the latter. Palin is their last, best hope of hanging on to that demographic. She also seems to resonate somewhat with the busy soccer moms, the "she's cute" bunch, and uninformed old-school conservatives who dont/won't know their party's been hijacked.
In other words: Sarah Palin is the GOPs honey pot for the chumps.
Sarah Palin was right to get out of politics, the attacks were just going to get worse. She's better off in a job with no complexity, like being a flight attendant or nursing old men in diapers.
That is sooo wrong on sooo many levels.
Yer beggin for static on that one.
How about,............geeezzzz, I can't think of anything that would be acceptable.
Making bologna sandwiches for the incoming prisoners at one of their fine state prisons...
Hiring illegals to make bologna sandwiches for the incoming prisoners at one of their fine state prisons...
...withOUT the bologna.
Is David Vitter looking for a new mistress??
...nursing old men in diapers.
Paging David Vitter, paging David Vitter....
(Damn, Gene, beat me to it!)
It's cool Matt! Great minds think alike!:-)
like being a
flight attendantslutty stewardess or nursing old men in diapers.she already is a FRIGHT attendant
To ctalk:
Newsflash!!!!
Have you ever been a flight attendant?
Have you ever been a nurse...even a nurse assigned to take care of an old man in "diapers"?
As a Registered Nurse I can tell you, it is QUITE complex. I won't go into details, but let's just say that most nursing jobs entail multi-tasking on steroids!!
And it's not like you're dealing with "widgets" or something. One little screw up and someone could actually DIE!!!
So, I hope if you read this you'll take that comment back.....
Take it back....
Take it back!!!!!!
Nurse Ratchet
... to actual nurses or stewardesses I should have added. I should have said a job with less complexity like an idiot box pundit. I hope we hear less from her whatever she does because these threads are getting to be as lame as Oreilly and Coulter ones.
if she runs in 2012.........she ain't seen nothin' yet! Unless she and Murdoch shut down the internet.
...perhaps matalin will recommend that the remainder of the gop follow palin's lead....
Matalin Thinks Palin is Brilliant--Rollins and Gergen Think She's Toast ...I think she's a douchebag.
How come Mitt Romney and Huckabee have disappeared from the talk shows? I'm curious to see how they feel about this...cause it's their opinion that really matters since they will be banging the shit out of Palin if she runs in 2012.
And while I disagree with pretty much every one of his political & religious views (especially since they're the same thing), most of the time I kind of like the guy. (Don't want him in any elective office anywhere, but that's a different issue.)
I had to agree with him this morning, though, in one regard - he basically said that Palin's a gutless wonder and that if she can't take the heat she's gotten so far, then it's a darned good thing that she gets out of the kitchen. (That is seriously paraphrased.)
Jesus Gary! I like science fiction as much as the next guy, but this shit about Obama being intimidated by Palin - come on! The only running Caribou Barbie's gonna be doing now is a photo shoot for "Runners World" magazine
A real runner put that much make up on?
I know it was for the photo shoot.
But where are the real foto's of her running?
?????????????????????????.
Mudshark, even that photo shoot was a set up. Just pictures of her posing in sneakers and what was supposed to be running gear. One shot had her touching her toes in what was obviously a shot exposing some tit. What ajoke!
n/t
Same to you, Mudshark!
Happy 4th Gene New

Wouldn't that result in mutants?
I'm still tryin to figure out how many you have.:)
My guess is...oh, I dunno...............27?
That would explain alot.
I never looked at the bottom of her sneakers. hmmmm?
...said that "yoga pose" was a fake, too.
And did you notice her running shoes were pristine clean and the wheels of that baby carriage look like they've never turned 360?
You've had enough Kool-aid.
obama has little to no concern about palin. you need to reconsider when fox says don't touch that dial.palin doesn't even compare with obama. palin is not big time material. she will be nothing but an opportunistic speaker for the far right. she will give the evangelicals a purpose. she will do some of the
DIRTY work for romNEY.
Whoa whoa whoa! Obama's middle name is Hussein??? Why didn't somebody tell us that?
Game, set and match to Gary P. How can you argue with that?
you stupid wingnut fuck
and palin scares no one
except maybe the baby seals she likes to club
wow. Hussein? Really? Think he's muslim i'd like to see his birth certificate still smokes father african mom white attended a madrassa worships the kabala oops that's madonna sorry eats kittens for breakfast...
Thank you. For rendering a hilarious post even funnier, as if it were even possible!
Gary P? Who TF is that?
I'm thinkin Manic forgot his snark../
I had to crawl up to see what it said.
It must be getting triple-time from RNC for working on a holiday...
that is a rigght winger. He can never win an argument with me.
I get it now.
not worth my time.
Do you honestly think Obama is worried about failin' Palin? Is that your heartfelt opinion, or are you just whistling past the graveyard? If by some long-shot she got the Republican nomination, Obama would carry all 50 states...INCLUDING ALASKA!!! One reason she resigned is that she wasn't guaranteed of even being re-elected in her "home" state. That's without Stevens-style indictments for receiving free materials for her house.
How afraid are we of Palin? Link me to a web site with a petition to draft her in 2012 and I'll sign it right here and now!!!
... the longer the GOP keep her in the 2012 primaries, the saner and more reasonable Rom
melney or somebody else will seem in comparison in the actual election.that there are enough stupid morons in America to elect her to anything.
Bush for two terms....oh...wait.....................
You've mistakenly attributed the cause of Obama's shaking at the mention of her name to fear, but it was really him trying with all his might not to laugh.
You can't be around Dick Cheney that long without being infected with the delusion virus.
as long as the Elites can masquerade as their own opposition.
FURTHER UPDATE: Sources say embezzlement scandal, federal indictments may soon break concerning use of Wasilla Sport Complex building materials for Palin's home...
[See update below for exclusive source details from Alaska...FURTHER UPDATE now added below: AK sources say 'embezzlement' scandal related to Palin's house, federal indictments may be in offing. MUCH MORE now added below...]
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7280
Very interesting. I can't wait to see what happens next!
this didnt break yesterday
even during the campaign, questions about the home were raised
quitting doesnt make the possibility of indictments go away
and boy...she did indeed learn alot from her mentor stevens
Boy, did she!! Let's hope the Justice Dept crosses the "T's" and dots the "I's" this time around...
If you're a defendant, it's good to have a prosecutor that wants to screw it up.
matalin is bias and part of the strategy to get the (r) back in power. trust me palin did not make this decision on her own. this is $ motivated. palin will be a full-time cheerleader for the evangelicals. those that will not judge palin but will become easily preoccupied with how (d) live their lives.
If only every republican would follow her lead and resign! But I don't think they have the political savvy to see that quitting is really winning. Can you imagine if they all quit? How would the left ever recover?
i wish them all a happy life when they all resign.
When it gets this bad, it's time for pity not ridicule. The MSM is indeed pitiful.
Matalin is a complete moron. She and Bill Kristol are wrong on everything. Why anyone gives them airtime is beyond me.
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
But the words got in the way.
Matalin talks about going long, hard and deep, and that begs the question, how does James Carville dare continue to stick his dick in Matalin? I mean, talk about toxic waste and the love canal, he has got to be loony to be in the same room with this shrew!
to keep the power elites happy
her purpose is to offer shallow (r) nonsense. she's just a filler for political chatter.
political diversion
So Mary thinks that Sara will prepare for opponents that will go "long, hard, and deep"?!!! Oh My!!!
brilliant also. Drop a dime in Matalin and she will say whatever you want her to say.
...a more complete judgment. And that may be true.
On the other hand, it could all come down to the fact that Palin is just a kook -- and I think we already know that -- and then, the complete judgment is simply a kook made a kooky decision.
Ya gotta love Matalin (in a projectile vomiting sort of way). Palin's delivery was brilliant. Brilliant? Jeebus, she sounded like someone who was getting paid by the word. Help Wanted: President of the United States -- must be able to speak 1000 WPM. Incoherence OK.
I'm assuming she learned this "the price of public service should not be personal destruction" after Clinton left office?
"When I go to Wal Mart.. people will cheer for her... regular normal people." The republicans still think the "normal" people are on their side? Hint: extremist violent home grown terrorists are not "normal" people.
another silly comment
they just cant accept that they all hung their hats on another corrupt, hypocritical, nutjob
the repukes are done
but it seems like SP is getting more attention here at C&L than MJ.
and lets be honest....pt barnum proved long ago....people love a freak show
mj is a dead freak
palin and her clan are all live freaks
... I suppose I might think Sarah Palin was brilliant too.
But that's some very difficult empathy; I relate better with animals (no ysbaddaden, don't do it). For example, if I were my cat, I might admire her, well, cattiness. If I were my dog I might admire her ability to devour her own excrement - with relish.
Yeah, I know. It's horrible imagery... but at least I'm not Mary Matalin.
.
Why on earth would anyone listen to this woman? She's consistently wrong about absolutely everything.
Anyone think MM is a partisan hack?
*
I dozed off during Palin's rambling. I woke up just in time to hear her say she's going to play basketball and be a point guard. For who?
Even at the double-speed delivery Palin gave her so-called resignation speech yesterday, it STILL sounded like fingernails down a blackboard.
SCCCCCCRRRREEEEEEEEECCCHHHHHHH.
I came across this clip where Hannity and Palin talk about how great socialism is, but they are too ignorant to know what they are actually saying.
From the date stamp, this was only a couple of weeks ago. Gosh they are morons.
This is hilarious.
http://progressnotcongress.org/?p=2025
Someone on Mudflats.net pointed out that no where in that "resignation" speech did Sarah Palin ever say, "I'm resigning". And as a matter of fact, she apparently thinks she's ALREADY served 4 years as Governor of Alaska.
"I am not wired to operate under the same old "politics as usual." I promised that four years ago - and I meant it."
Four years ago she was neither mayor of Wasilla, AK, nor was she yet Governor of Alaska. She was just a private citizen in 2005, exorcised by her Kenyan witchdoctor, running in the Humpy's Marathon, etc. (Google Sarah Palin 2005).
And this is her "resignation statement":
"...And I know when it's time to pass the ball - for victory. I have given my reasons candidly and truthfully... and my last day won't be for another few weeks so the transition will be very smooth. In fact, we will look to swear Sean in - in Fairbanks at the conclusion of our Governor's picnics."....Let's just say, this decision has been in the works for awhile...In fact, this decision comes after much consideration, and finally polling the most important people in my life - my children (where the count was unanimous... well, in response to asking: 'Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children's future from OUTSIDE the Governor's office?' "
Last but not least, Palin said, "In the words of General MacArthur said, 'We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.'
But the quote was really "Retreat Hell! We're just attacking in another direction", correctly attributed to Major General Oliver Prince Smith, USMC, Korea, December 1950: Commander of the 1st Marine Division, with which he had fought on Guadalcanal, New Britain, Peleliu, Okinawa.
'We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.'
Sounds just like "their appeal is becoming more selective", no?
Wow. Remember what an extreme moron she was during the election? Look out now. There's nothing holding her back now! She can get into the 'extreme' in a big time way now! And now there's no need to answer to reporters or Democrats.
who calls Palin "brilliant" must have a single digit IQ.
must have a minus digit(s) IQ.
Maybe she's going to Russia. You betcha, she could see it from her house!
she could probably walk there in 30 minutes. Its just a hop, skip and a jump
they had about as much worth as mary matalin's croaking nonsense.
"...she has a record of reform and ethics reform..."
ethics reform!!...ethics reform???
oh...ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
*wheeze*
as sarah herself said thid 4th of july
"And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make."
so sarah, you'll be taking some time off then, and spending it with your crumbling and ignored family? oo! how neat. how noble! how....
"How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it's about country," the statement said. "And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make."
"I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint," she said.
Palin also cast herself as a victim and blasted the media, calling the response to her announcement "predictable" and out of touch.
well, um, i guess not huh? the state and the old family can pound sand...no wait..."follow the money". yes, you're still an inexperienced, moronic, yokel, unfit for higher elected federal office, but there are still any number of gop wingnuts willing to pay to listen to your drivel on the lecture circuit and with folks like matalin on your side, we can sit back and watch the party swirl down the crapper again in 2012 with you in charge of the boat this time instead of mr. ty-d-bowl mccain.
Listen to Matalin: She brilliantly washes dishes. She brilliantly scratches her rear. "Did you see her close that door?" Wasn't that brilliant? And the way she puts her glasses on. Isn't that brilliant?
She doesn't use Brillo Pads to scrub those pots and pans. She uses Brilliant Pads. Brilliant schmilliant.
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just
Smile
LOVE watching you libs getting your panties in a wad over Sarah Palin's recent brilliant move!! She's a smart, young, witty, gorgeous, classy, happy, exhuberant, stylish, sexy, intelligent Christian woman with a lovely family and a handsome husband!!
Of course you hate her!! You lib females are jealous of her and you lib males wish Hillary had an ounce of her. Hey let's start from the legs up, oh wait, Hillary can't wear a skirt cause her legs look like tree stumps, ok forget it we all know the rest is ugly.
Let me explain this to you. Sarah is resigning her position in Alaska so she can help save the country from Odumbo. She's got more important things to do for the GOP on a national level than spend money on the fraudulent and bully ethics charges that are taking up her time and are being dismissed in Alaska. Nice try but not gonna work.
She's strong, she's determined and she LOVES her country, just like the people who support her. So continue on with your silly criticisms, we are laughing at you far more than you could ever laugh at Sarah !
Remove a few words from your first sentence, it gets kind of nasty.
Are you SERIOUS ?? The nasty comments from these marooons and I'm not to say "panties in a wad" ???
Your pinky finger is wayyyy up in the air. Blechhhhh......
.
This country has ALREADY been destroyed - by psychotic conservative morons like Palin!
Honestly, where do people as fucking stupid as you are come from?
Really, what is it like to go through life totally detatched from reality, where everything you belive is as phony as the fourth dimension on a tesserect?
Furthermore, dupes like you are fascists, and you hate america! You hate your fellow citizens, you hate good, but most of all, you hate yourselves! That is why you are able to support the sick, evil bastards that you do.
What you actually love; is supporting phony-assed Orwellean authoritarian goons, because you lack the few basic I.Q. points neccessary to realize they are completely full of shit.
As your republican cult nears extinction in the coming years, continue your denial, it only reinforces the rabid insanity you suffer from. The rest of the world IS laughing at YOU. Unfortunately, you are just too stupid to realize it.
As I explained in more detail in an earlier post, and peg illustrates so well:
Sarah Palin is the GOPs honey pot for the chumps.
Like I said YOU ARE JEALOUS !
Name me one demo-rat that is even CLOSE to being attractive, smart, witty, sexy, popular, experienced and self confident as Sarah Palin ?? You can't. Kristen Powers is a 4. Nancy Pelosi? Barbara Boxer? C'mon. The more you hate Sarah the more obvious it is how jealous you are and the more fun we have making fun of you because you have no one that can compete with her.
So call Sarah whatever names you want. She has millions of supporters. You are scared and you should be. She has all the smarts and talents to challenge this fraud of a resident that can't even produce a BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
There is a community organizer in charge of this country now who has never even managed a lemonade stand much less run an automobile industry, healthcare industry and banking industry.
You Odumbo maniacs need to get your SHIP together before you take the rest of us down with your ridiculous loyalty.
How very droll, and well-said. SP has it all: especially if you care to have the country run by vapid, empty shells. I don't care what they look like, so long as we can elect more intelligent, rational people.
"She has all the smarts and talents to challenge..." She doesn't have the smarts or talents to find her way out of a paper bag.
Oh, and by the way: I think we were talking about SP. Way to try to reframe the
discussionargument?waste of time into debunked scare-tactics and assumed hero-worship. Sure, those of us who voted for Obama had high hopes for him. Much of those hopes were guarded. Now, many aren't all that enamored. Maybe if he had undone more of the draconian policies of Governor Bush (he was never elected president -- how's that for a conspiracy?), we would be. If I could have my way, Dennis Kucinich would be president, now (and, please, don't bother making all sorts of disparaging comments about how he looks). Maybe we'd have a paradise, right now, if that had happened. If McCain/Palin had won... the few survivors would be eating radioactive dust, by now.Oh, and Helen Thomas? Let's see... she's hasn't been the train-wreck that is your beloved whatever-she-is. She speaks truth to power. She asks tough questions. She's... (gasp!)intelligent. We have proof of it. Where's yours for your beloved Sarah? If I had a choice, I'd rather spend the day with Helen Thomas, hands-down. If I was forced to spend a day with Palin, I'd need a camera crew to record the experience. It'd be like Katie Couric, part II!
deleted by poster
On edit. I don't agree with your edited comment at all. The first comment was very clever and it's upsetting to see it changed it to something crass.
If you're that fixated on physical attractiveness w.r.t. Demo. elected officials, I'll take you up on your challenge: Jennifer Granholm, Gov. of MI.
And the only people dumber than S'Airhead are those who use "Palin" and "smart" in the same sentence without a negative modifier before the latter.
You've nailed it, Peg. That is exactly the kind of weasely, idiotic crap we would hear from right-wing wackos if they posted on this board. Brilliant satire! Including the gratuitous slam on Hillary was a nice touch; that is once again exactly what a right-wing wacko would say! And "Odumbo"! I'm holding my sides here.
Pay no attention to the other commenters, who apparently took your post seriously. As you know, liberals just don't "do" humor, wit, or subtlety. Not like you do!
excellent observations, MarkOfOhio.
I think momentarily going to the birther route -- well that passage, "...fraud of a resident that can't even produce a BIRTH CERTIFICATE," was stunning, sheer genius -- a bitchslap out of NOWHERE! Did you see it coming? I sure as hell didn't. It had me on the edge of my seat. Everything you find in sparkling, witty satire.
"Where's this crazy chick going next?" I kept asking myself.
Shorter miss_kitty: I laughed; I cried; it became a part of me.
Not one word. Palin's presser was a disaster. Anyone with a brain can see it. All Palin does is whine and cry "They're so mean! It's not fair!" like a 5-year-old. I say good riddance.
Matalin is a complete, total fool.
Host : Mrs. Repug Strategist , welcome to our show.
Repug Strat genius : Thank you
Host : What's going on here with Sarah Palin. I mean 3 weeks notice she's giving. McDonald's Maanagers are required to give more than 3 weeks notice.
Repug Genius : This was an excellent move. This is Sarah Palin like never before. She's a genius. This is Sarah Palin at her best. She's got star-power. She announced her cutting and...I mean resignation suddenly .Nobody else could pull this off, but Sarah's got charisma ! She's got CHARISMA. She can do the most unethical things imaginable ...or not yet imagined , immorality like we've never seen before and she can pull it off because she's got CHARISMA. That's why she'll win the presidential election in 2012. Now that she has resigned and has a long-enough political record as a politician -she can take the time she needs to study where the countries are located on the world map and most of all RAISE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to beat Mitt Romney and all the Republican candidates and then go on to KICK OBAMA'S ASS IN 2012 !!
Host : Thank you
Yes, Mary - Palin QUITTING her position as Gov. is brilliant! What keen strategic thinking! Palin knows the Wal-Mart American Neanderthal absolutely adores quitters. What could be more brilliant than saving your state by abandoning it mid way through your elected term? Nothing!! Yes, in the black is white, up is down world of Wing-Nuttery, this truly is brilliant.
Fortunately, most human beings (not including said Wal-Mart Neanderthals) who can reason, think logically, and form coherent sentences, will have nothing to do with the Quitta From Wasilla.
I think Palin is knowcked up and she's sneaking down to Tijuana for one of those secret back-alley coathanger deals.
The press should follow her everywhere she goes. Homeland Security should video her constantly. One liar in 20 years is enough. Look what Bush left us---nothing.
Palin IS on record (I saw the tape) saying the 'thought had crossed her mind to terminate the pregnancy' when the baby was found to be DS.....
That would be my guess. With the Republicruds and the Democruds looking more and more like a two headed one party system-which by the way is exactly what they are-Palin could easily win the White House via a third party and a strong VP choice.
Can I have the number of your drug supplier?
...will be able to shut up when she's under indictment for 'selling' the Iraq war to America, as a member of the White House Iraq Group.
Now THAT would be cool!
Mary Matalin: Goebbels in a skirt and lipstick.
Mary M endorsed Fred Thompson for president. Nuff said.
She left Wasilla in 10s of millions of dollars of debt, and what about that 25 million dollar hockey rink she had built?
Matalin's beyond a pundit, she's a delusionist for her cause. Which makes me question Carville's sanity, being married to her.
be "applying" for the role of a Palin campaign advisor?
Mary is like all the talking heads on cable. She no more believes what she says than Peggy Noonan believes that Palin was a good choice for VP. And we all know how that "off mike" opinion turned out. Punditry on cable is sort of like pro wrestling. Fixed.
