Their Jesse Jackson Moment
Filed under: Politik > John McCain > Sarah Palin
Seems like a lot of people out there don't like Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin.
Even John McCain's former adviser, Mike Murphy, thinks she's a joke!
Murphy, who's also a Time columnist and contributes to MSNBC, was on air with Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan this week. And when anchor Chuck Todd cut to a clip, the three of them began talking, not realizing that a technical glitch was allowing viewers nationwide to listen to their comments LIVE!
Todd was caught saying, "I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too."
While Murphy commented, "Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good."
And Noonan said, "It's over."
But this is when it gets good. Todd then questions, "Yeah, I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?
To which Noonan responds, "The most qualified? No! I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives."
HA!
To which Todd agreed with, "Yeah they went to a narrative," followed by Murphy's comment, "I totally agree."
And it gets funnier, Noonan adds, "Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it."
And Murphy responded with, "You know what's really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical."
"This is cynical, and as you called it, gimmicky," added Todd.
Juciness!
Tell us more!
LEAVE SARAH PAILIN ALONE!!!!!
Holy crap Perez…… working late tonight???
Gee, what great Americans they are…. perhaps they are all alil bitter because politically none of them mean SQUAT….
Ddaayyuummnn. She CAN do and be everyting.
CONSERVATIVES COULD NOT SATISFY HER WITH THEIR SMALL PEE-PEE'S!!
PALIN is a joke.
i wish the news was like this more often
you are disgusting. quit posting pictures of her that are photoshopped. she did a fantastic job with her speech tonight and the dem's are just being defensive because they know that because of her their chosen one will lose.
It's looking more and more like McCain's camp are expecting to lose and picked her as a scapegoat.
palin is clearly the greater of the two equals. mccain: bitter old white man. palin: younger sexy alaskan woman! go 'head mccain…you are the man!
Bullshit people don't like her. Go fuck yourself, Perez.
Is that really all her?
Wow…..
she's definitely got the lipstick part down…….
Ha Just heard about that too on NPR. Crazy. Just heard her speak. Nothing that she talked about addressed me as a woman. It kind of made me uncomfortable to watch and hear the speech because the GOP convention was pretty much empty. I think I only saw 4 black people. One actually in the audience the rest were security. There is no connection with the youth vote. It's all these Baby Boombers who want to live in a 50's ideology.
You're not a pundit. Shut up
You can just keep on digging Perez, your messiah is going down. McCain/Palin '08
For God's sake TURN YOUR MIKE'S OFF!!!
Or at least make sure that they're turned off before you talk smack!!
She sounds like she's from Minnesota…Got the accent Ah? Good speaker, nice use of sarcasm!!!!
SHE WAS AMAZING TONIGHT!!!!!!!!! OFFICIALLY has my vote as of tonight!!!!
SHE KICKED OBAMA IN THE BALLS repeatedly hahah AMAZING!
Haha. I'm not fond of any of the canidates, but for her own party to be so harsh. I think if Sarah didn't think that she would be getting "this" much critisim, she is crazy. The president of the united states is the world's biggest celebrity. Everyone knows who the pres. is. But on the other hand Liberman gave his support to McCain. It's going to be an interesting race.
Oh my….
I can almost see her furr burger.
AFTER THAT AMAZING SPEECH??? PUHLEASE…..Honey, I think you guys feel a lil threatened………… jealousy speaking, going after nonsense saying she isnt qualified…..but like Palin said "Obama: wrote 2 memoirs, no real action in the senate" and there ya have it.
Re: Rocafella – \
hahah we are not leaving sarah pailin alone are you
crazy shes our clown who else we are gonna make fun of??
of course sarah and bristol haha whoresss….
I am so bored. Perez please update your charicatures. Especially the "Pope" one ! Get a updated one with your weight loss and new t-shirt line ! Luvs ya P-Nasty !!!! Anybody agree ???
Sarah Palin is amazing and proved it tonight in her speach. MCCAIN / PALIN '08!!!!!!!!!!!1
you are getting so annoying. has hollywood gotten too boring for you?
I could definitely get up in them guts.
photoooshoppppeddd!!
PEREZ keep the FAKE photoshop pics coming! Shows your one sided bitterness.WOW SHE WAS AMAZING TONIGHT WITH HER SPEECH!
Yeah… this is who we really want a heartbeat away from presidency of the united states, a 72 year old heartbeat, might i add…
And how can the McCain campaign continue to toss the term "inexperianced" around? How can they claim Obama is inexperianced, when their own VP nominee was only mayor to a city with what 6,000 people? She was elected mayor with about 800 votes! 800 VOTES! seriously? And what a year and a half of govenor of ALASKA! she won that with like 120,000 votes… thats like the population of… gee i can't even think of a city small enough!!
(and yes, i'm from LA…)
That pic is soooo fake! You shouldn't post that on your blog!!! Need to shut the fuck up about politics too P… we all know you love love love Obama and that's the main reason why i hate this celebrity whore!!!! Shut it and stick to your copy paste thing on celebs!
I was disappointed by her speech. All potshots no real issues discussed outside of drilling. She was also clearly uncomfortable talking foreign policy as well. Maybe it's b/c she came late on the scene I don;t know. I hoe she is ready in the coming weeks to answer to Biden. She has fight and grit, I like that but her speech didn't say much about her other than that.
I hope u wrote "fake" on that picture because it is so horribly photoshopped. I happened to think she did pretty well tonight. A hint of a conservative Hilary, maybe?
Palin gave a KICK ASS speech!! Even CNN and MSNBC (both liberal ubber allas) gave her kudos. Intelligent people who understand domestic and foreign economics and policies know why the McCain/Palin ticket is the way to go.
What was a joke was her speech tonight. It was full of half truths, and down right lies. Not to mention that she was boring as hell. I could barely keep my eyes open. What an embarrassment for the republican party. Oh.. and I just loved the way she was flinging her handicap kid around on stage, and how they told her pregnant teenage daughter to hold hands with her baby-daddy. The entire thing was a three ring circus.
just watched her and didnt see anything great or anything I agree with..
Obama 08!!!
Go Palin! I think she was brilliant and connected with real people like the "Hockey Moms". She is far from a Joke. Obama is the real joker.
And it's a big relief not to have that radical Michelle Obama flaunting her BFA up on the stage. Cindy is so much more classier.
Perez please go to bed and stop trying to dig up shit on Palin that doesn't exsist. So what if she had big hair you idiot she grew up in the 80's. Please stop wasting your time and put some really good celebrity juice up!!!!
I saw this clip on youtube and it really shows how we all know this is a loosing battle for McCain… if only he weren't so senile, he could see it!
She hit the nail right on the head during her speech tonight regarding why OBAMA IS BAD FOR AMERICA'S FURTURE & ECONOMY.. SERIOUSLY WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!! main sway for my vote
MCCAIN/PALIN '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rocafella, how can we possibly leave Sarah Palin alone? She might help run your country, your LIFE one day! If you put yourself under the limelight, even if it is for political reasons, today's generations WILL scrutinize you. That is the culture of today. You can't escape it.
Perez, I thought that picture was real for a few seconds!! (These days I wouldn't be surprised).
peace love and gossip, L
One, I think the photoshopped pics are horrible. I think Palin can give an awesome speach and she is the change we need.
Re: bellaa –
Are you f—ckin kidding. What is wrong with her showing off what some people would have aborted. Good for her!! Go to bed moron.
Re: Love & Faith –
AMEN!!!!
haha this is funny
I just wish that she would go away!!! Far far away!!! Republicans are so brainwashed and buy into this bullshit!
LoL….this one may be a fake, but there are real ones…..i know, i've seen them!
Lets hear the Republican Idiots who come on this page try and spin this one…
She's a slut, no a gun toting, sex ed fund slashing, at the detriment of her daughter, joke of the Republican Convention slut.
Easily fake, she has waaaaaaay bigger ta tas!
"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," said Yousef.
book – Schmoozing With Terrorists
this was quoted by a terrorist who supports OBAMA.
INSTED OF GIVING SARAH ALL OF OUR ATTENTION WHY DONT WE JUST FOCUS ON OBAMA FOR TWO SECONDS AND SEE WHO WE'RE REALLY SUPPORTING.
AND FOR FUTURE REFERENCE I WOULD NOT SUGGEST VOTING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SUPPORT OF OUR ENEMIES.
Shit. If I only looked that good…sigh. I'd run for something.
Like "Ho of The Internets".
