| "The Palins endorsed Gingrich? He's doomed! Doomed I say!" |
Karl Rove mockingly dismissed the value of Sarah and Todd Palin's endorsements on a private conference call today, noting that their backing of Newt Gingrich in Alaska "demonstrated that endorsements don’t mean snot."
Actually to be fair, I think that snot is worth just a little bit more.
Especially since even in Palin's home state Gingrich placed dead last out of a field of four candidates.
This from ADN:
With 100 percent of the vote in, Romney had 4,285 votes, or 32 percent; Santorum had 3,860 votes, or 29 percent. Ron Paul, the only candidate to personally visit Alaska ahead of the vote, finished third, with 3,175 votes, or 24 percent. Newt Gingrich placed fourth, with 1,865 votes, or 14 percent. Thirty-four voters were uncommitted.
Like I said, if a good sized glob of snot would have endorsed Gingrich he just might have edged out Ron Paul for that coveted third place finish. But with Palin on his side he's just lucky he didn't get struck by lightning, or a meteor even.
Now if you will excuse me I have to go wash my mind out with soap.
I can't believe I agreed with Karl Rove again!
Not enough Kleenex in the world for that snot.
ReplyDeleteWhat was really dumb was the MSNBC pundits trying to figure out why she backs Newt. Remember, he is the ONLY one of the 4 to say that he respects her and would 'offer her a post in my administration.' So of course she'll whore herself for him. Small price to pay for her free ride to DC...no money, no debates, no vetting.
ReplyDeleteBut since the Palin allure is now worth a Kleenex ful of snot, I think she'd best start planning for LAF...life after Fox. What will be the next Palin scam?
thats not why she backs newt.
Deletepalin hates the idea that anyone has more influence with the far right loons then she does.
she would never back sanatorium because it would be giving away her perceived power enabling him to control the loons.
and basically thats the same reason why she wont support romney.(besides the mormon thing)
she will never do anything that she perceives as losing her own influence.
newt does not have the ability to do that.
remember palin doesnt give a rats ass who wins elections outside of how she can come around after the fact and try to exert her own ambitions.
get it?
Sally, the next Palin scam is to cozy up and ride the coattails of the GOP winner. Call me..wink wink.
DeleteIf that doesn't work, it's back to bashing the president.
I don't get why Republicans won't call out Sarah the political pariah that she is.
Newt gave Todd Palin a public shoutout for his phone calls in Georgia. !!!
DeleteTodd has been pimping his wife ever since he figured he could make a great living off her "talents."
Colbert is right.
ReplyDeleteI mean it's uncanny.
The man LITERALLY looks like a giant canned ham.
I feel dirty even saying this- but my greatest hope for babygate exposure is in Rove. I have heard over and over if Sarah tries to horn in on the GOP election or convention in any meaningful way, he WILL unbury some of those bodies he knows about. I think that is why Palin has been so careful to only let others dictate her possibility of participating in a brokered convention. If she was actively pursuing it, Rove would kibosh that business quicker than he inhales the souls of puppies.
**** Everyone, if you're able and inclined, please donate to Gryphen this Saturday in tribute to all he has done keeping Palin's misdeeds at the forefront of Alaskan and American conscience! ****
Rove said that the only candidates up for consideration in a brokered convention are those that are already running - so not Sarah Palin. She knows this. The only reason she is talking about it at all is to grift more money from her bots. I am curious what her public pac disclosure will say next time. Probably that she made $100. Those "advisers" are expensive. She will have to let many of them go soon. I bet Meg is first. She really hates women.
DeleteI don't know...I have a feeling that when it comes to who knows where Palin bodies are buried- NOBODY patrols a bigger cemetery than megamouth.
DeleteTechnically Meg has already been "let go"- as in not an official PAC staff member. But believe me, some of that $200,000 for "political mailings" (political mailings in 2011? Almost a quarter MILLION dollars worth? For someone who ran for no office, held no office, and did not do mailings on behalf of any other candidate?) is payoff hush money. And Meg, Sharon, and Ivy probably get Costco sized slices of THAT pie.
As to the brokered convention- Colbert was saying last night that if [XYZ] were to happen, Palin COULD storm the convention. But I was on the phone and I didn't hear what XYZ was!
Hilarious! Love the caption!
ReplyDeleteKarl is a professional. He has probably seen a lot of fakers out there. So obvious he sees through her. It's snot surprising she's trying to shake things up and ruin the rightful chosen nominee's chances. She doesn't care about the Party, just herself and wants to be 'begged' to come aboard.
Sarah didn't even have the guts to outright endorse Newt (she's sticking her finger in her mouth and raising it in the air, testing the winds) she had to throw Todd in the deep end to test the waters for her.
ReplyDeleteTodd shrieking like a little girl whined that Newt took a beating, just like they do, so they identify with the angry attack muffin.
He took dead last Sarah, defeated, so to speak. How do you like them moose nuggets?
Can't wait to see how Fake News runs to her defense against the ROVE. It is a shame that Jon and Stephen can't keep up with all the material the GOP hands them. I am sure we are missing out on quite a few good laughs. This is a good old fashioned snot wrestling contest and I love it when the GOP eats their own. Good job, scara, splitting the party right down the middle. It is the only thing you can say you have done well!
ReplyDeleteThe level of public political discourse is now so debased and crude: "snot," "wee-weed," "panties in a wad," "slut," "prostitute." Note that these are all quotes from Republicans.
ReplyDeletePerhaps here on IM we could bring the discussion back from this low level, using words and phrases that express our opinions without resorting to the vocabulary of the schoolyard.
Actually, the President said "wee-weed up" first. For whatever reason, Palin has used that phrase many times since. Otherwise, your comment is accurate, albeit a little prissy.
Delete6:00AM
Deletethanks mom.
I disagree with Rove about endorsements having influence. It depends who is making the endorsement and the attributes it is founded on.
DeletePalin promotes Gingrich while denying she is endorsing him. She has lost many of her supporters and more who were undecided waiting to see if she studied and governed. She chose reality tv and to not study. Palin has little credibility by her own hand therefore an unofficial endorsement has little influence from her in 2012.
Probly not gonna happen.
DeleteThe blog police are perfectly welcome to start their own blogs and enforce their own "rule" as far as vocabulary. :)
DeleteGot this off twitter:
That person in class that always acts like they’re fucking Albert Einstein. Calm your tits.
Have a great day! Hope your new blog gets off to a "fun" start :)
I almost want to agree with you 6:00 am, but I hesitate to tell anyone else what words they should choose. I do notice that the pundits like Matthews, Halperin, Scarborough and a couple others in the media jump on these blog comments to 'back up' Palin's claims of victimhood. Scarbourgh is the worst. He can trample over her when it suits him but criticizes when others do it. I notice they rarely quote or comment on the scurrilous vile things said about our President and those who don't adore her from the pro-palin sites.
DeleteI think most of the paid pundits fear having the wrath of palinbots released in their direction but can insult her detractors with impunity as the worst we can do to them is change the channel.
I can never and will never forgive Karl Rove for foisting George W. Bush on this country for two disastrous terms in the White House. Now he's working on Jeb Bush. However, I do like to see Republicans eat their own.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Off Topic, Gryphen, but this is a HUGE story here in Florida. Rep. Cliff Stearns (Republican, famous for support of Right to Life crowd) is going down in disgrace, and it's a fellow Republican who turned him in to the FBI for bribery. Boehner is involved, but the FBI would not wiretap him. Check out the story.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.gainesville.com/article/20120307/ARTICLES/120309693/1182?Title=Stearns-opponent-accuses-congressman-of-bribery
Karl Rove did advise the Quitter to study up, build her political cred which would have led to more fame and glory but she instead chose the celebrity populist route prancing and preening like it was a beauty pageant all over again. Her very actions or inactions virtually destroyed her publicly and politically.
ReplyDeleteShe said herself that in these days her political opinions aren't worth a hill of beans. Rove is simply agreeing with a condescending "I told you so". I'm not a fan of Rove but his insights on Palin is spot on.
HEY NEWT HOW'S THAT PALIN ENDORSEMENT THINGY WORKING OUT FOR YOU?
ReplyDeleteThey can't even deliver Alaska for ya you Stay Puft Marshmallow boy.
Mr. Stay Puft is adorable. Unless you're talking about the scary one in Ghostbusters.
DeleteNewt is more like Porky Pig on steroids.
Whatever you think of the Rovenator - and I believe there's a special place in hell reserved for him - he usually is well-spoken, articulate and rarely uses this kind of language about a GOP figure.
ReplyDeleteThat he does on the record here show not only the he is contemptuous and dismissive of La Palin, but also signals that the gloves are off and she has no special protection from here on out.
Watch for others to become more comfortable speaking out on her ridiculous pronouncements and egotistic moves. She's proven herself not only irrelevant, but a nuisance and impediment to the serious business of salvaging the GOP this election cycle.
Especially after the movie Game Change, she will be the handy scapegoat for the narrative explaining the precise point that the party started its descent and it all went to hell.
They need a scapegoat, and Sarah Palin is it.
Great.....she'll get to play the MARTYR card. AGAIN.
DeleteNo, no .... If she is the scapegoat, she'll get to play the satyr.
DeleteWhen Fox News breaks BabyGate, Rove will be waist deep in the big muddy. Whether they break the story to minimize damage to Gov. Palin (the initial spin is everything) or to maximize damage (deflecting attention from their own transgressions) the Fox "Blond Legions" will be consumed for two full weeks.
DrakesDrum
They WILL stop her this time because she will try to suck the oxygen away from Jeb, a capitol offense on planet Rove.
DeleteNewt took dead last in Alaska?
ReplyDeleteBut but but Sarah Palin said Alaskans wanted Newt?
"Newt is whom I chose up here in Alaska to best represent the ideas that many Alaskans want to see, the preferred presidential candidate in this area. That's who I cast my vote for," Palin said.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/07/palin-votes-for-gingrich/
And down goes Frazier... and Tebow... and Jeremy Lin... and Iron Dog Tawd... and McCain... and Fiorina... and Ron Paul... and Hoffman... and O'Donnell... and Joe Miller... and Newt Gingrich... and...
ReplyDeleteThose Palin endorsement don’t mean snot!
Sarah has proven herself to too be stupid and narcissistic to understand that she needs to shut up and stay out of the way as the GOP crashes and burns this election cycle.
ReplyDeleteSo you know she's going to keep mixing it up right up until the convention. She is corrosive for America, but for now she is increasingly obvious as a corrosive force in the GOP. She is worsening and prolonging the problems the party pros are beginning to show real concern about.
The movie Game Change will provide the story line that explains how SHE was the problem, how SHE caused this downward cycle in the party.
Won't it be lovely to watch as Rove leads the snarling pack of GOP operatives to destroy Sarah once and for all.
Not only is she unserious and poorly advised, but she is wildly unpredictable in her whims, vendettas and grudges. The party can't do much about Rush, but Sarah's currency has now been so devalued that she's expendable.
Newt Gingrich greeted cheering supporters in Atlanta, Ga., after picking up a primary win in his home state.
ReplyDelete"...Herman Cain stepped up to the plate and worked very, very hard. Todd Palin made phone calls and really helped communicate that there was a candidate who ought to be helped. The fact is, in Tennessee, Fred Thompson was just tremendously helpful. And in Oklahoma, J.C. Watts was extraordinary...."

Excuse me what did you say Newt?
"...Todd Palin made phone calls and really helped communicate that there was a candidate who ought to be helped."
Oh... I guess Todd really delivered Alaska for you Newt!
I'm guessing Todd was just calling around massage parlors looking for a new hook-up now that Shailey isn't available for him
DeleteOh you mean Todd Palin the National Pimp!
DeleteThat Todd Palin!
Hey FBI (not AK's FBI b/c their Johns also,too) Get off yer asses and investigate this HIGH level National Prostitution Ring!

Rove is the last person I'd want as an enemy. Now Sarah really WILL be victimized when he decides to shut her up. One can only hope.
ReplyDeleteHey Palins I guess Alaska is not into you.
ReplyDeleteThey won't even follow your lead.
Did Sarah get out there, ringin' them bells,and doin' some campaignin' and fancy pageant walkin' on Newt's behalf in Uhlasska?
DeleteThat's what I thought.
“I have to win this thing. I so don't want to go back to Alaska.” -Sarah Palin
ReplyDeleteWell Sarah we Alaskans have a long memory and we don't want you back in Alaska.
Take your fake political credentials, your worthless as snot endorsements and take the Wasilla Hill Billies with you to North Korea.
Palin!
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUCKING LOOSER!
A leader of polar bears because Alaskans don't back her or vote with her.
Oh my--Mr. Dictionary seems to have deserted Karl.
ReplyDeleteSarah seems to have that effect.
Sarah must feel like that caribou on Sarah Palin's Alaska.
ReplyDeleteShe is just standing there like a dumb animal not realizing everybody is shooting at her.
Alaskans and IM bloggers are going to be the ones to bring her down.
Who is holding the rope that is tied around her ankle to make her stand there?
DeleteI still think they had that poor animal penned up somehow so it couldn't run away.
Deleteshe is
DeleteA Palin endorsement?
ReplyDeleteNo thank you.
I'm telling you - if she really cared about the GOP taking power she'd endorse the President. I lose sleep every now and then in dead fear she'll figure out that her endorsement of anything is the kiss of death - or she could parlay it into a great gambling career - move to Vegas and "endorse" favored teams in sporting events - the ones with a best odds for the opponent - then bet against her endorsements and clean up. She's missing her calling. And yet her followers don't think she is satan???
DeleteThat method of winning seems more Wall Street than Vegas.

ReplyDeleteSarah is going to use the heavy guns ..
ReplyDeleteTrig and Piper will soon announce they are endorsing Newt.
Hey Sarah who did you endorse in the Iron Dog?
ReplyDeleteGood thing you didn't endorse Marc or Dusty.

Where did Toad end up? 7th, 8th - we are curious!
DeleteJulianne Moore was on Chelsea Lately last night and they talked about the "accent" and how hard it was to learn it. When asked is she if she tried it out before the production began, Julianne said, "No, that would be too embarrassing."

Teehee.

Oh that's a pricelss bumper sticker !!
FOX's commentators must be laughing up a storm that Aile's Wonky Eyed Retarded Girl looks like a damn fool after Alaska's election.
ReplyDelete"Newt is whom I chose up here in Alaska to best represent the ideas that many Alaskans want to see, the preferred presidential candidate in this area. That's who I cast my vote for,"
WHAT SARAH?
WE CAINT HEAR YOOOOOO IN ALASKA.
She has no fucking clue what 'ideas that Alaskans want to see'! I'm an Alaskan and Gingrich (and Palin) would NEVER get my vote! The majority Alaskans don't like or respect Palin and she'd not even be elected dog catcher up here! What an idiot!
DeleteResults for U.S. Republican Presidential Alaska State Primaries
DeleteRomney 32.4%

Great article... where did Rove say this, was it on Fox for all to see?
ReplyDeletePer Gryphen's post: This is from a private conference call. I guess somebody leaked or talked about it.
Delete"Todd Palin with his pocket full of used tied up condoms wrapped in wash cloths made phone calls and really helped communicate that there was a candidate who ought to be helped."
ReplyDeleteNewt Gingrich 2012
Thanks for nothing Tawwwddd
What did you say Sarah?
ReplyDelete"Anybody but Obama?"
Well it aint gonna be Newt! You cloaked him with that Palin endorsement.
The Kiss of Death.
In about a week Newtie will cut his own deal with Santorum for dropping out of the race, and he won't be negotiating a deal for Sarah as part of the package. That is, unless Mittens makes him a better deal for staying in. The primary race will just get uglier and uglier, and the party operatives at some point will panic enough to start trying to clean up the mess before the general is rendered completely unwinnable by the far right extremism of the nomination process. Sarah will not be welcomed with open arms as they try to salvage the GOP before they get to Tampa, or try to prevent burning the party down at the the convention. Sarah is divisive, and that's the last thing the GOP needs in Tampa. One more golden opportunity she's thrown away with both hands.
ReplyDeleteAll golden opportunities thrown away and kicked it over the cliff with her leopard-print 6-inch heeled booties...
DeleteNaw, Newt will stay in until the bitter end. He has more delegates than Santorum and thinks he will pick up more in the southern states. Like Sarah, he's a narcissist and delusional about his popularity with the voters.
DeleteThis primary is more entertaining than reality TV.
Quitty McGrifter is nothing but a punchline at the end of a joke. As for Todd's endorsement, who the hell cares about the political opinion of some horny North Slope hillbilly?
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS THIS JUST IN!
ReplyDelete"Mitt Romney is thanking Alaska's Sarah and Todd Palin for endorsing Newt Gingrich after the state party chairman declared him the winner of Alaska."
Poor Sarah, just can't catch a break, can she? Got no game, not even endorsements in her home state. Now she's got Rove on her ass. Karma really is a bitch.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich have in common in Alaska?
ReplyDeleteNewt lost in the Alaskan primaries and Palin lost Miss Alaska.
FUCKING LOOSERS!
I guess Gingrich didn't get Sarah Palin's memo that he needs to quit for the good of Alaska.
ReplyDelete"Well Newt didn't do so bad in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteWhat did he take, 4th place out of four contenders?"
- Sarah Palin
Sarah you mentioned you are going to the 2012 GOP Convention?
ReplyDeleteWell don't bother calling us, we'll call you...
In hell!
Gingrich must me be feeling like McCain this morning.
ReplyDeleteHe thought Iron Dog Looser Todd Palin and Looser Miss Alaska Sarah Palin was going to be his "Game Changers" in Alaska.
I think the most amazing factoid of this is that there were only 13,000 Republican primary voters in Alaska. Can we all say Enthusiasm Gap? All together now...
ReplyDeleteAnd, the turnout in Alaska for this primary brought out less Republicans (they were the only one that could vote) than the last one did! But, that happened across the United States from the reports we've seen - don't think there is much interest in the Republican party! They've screwed themselves there is no doubt!
DeleteI'm wondering what kind of dirt Gingrich has on the Palins that they are backing him. Gingrich is the king of dirty politics
ReplyDeleteThey (Rove, Gingrich, and others) know EVERYTHING!
DeleteIt is their job to know everything!
It's really, really amazing to watch the gop circling the porcelain bowl heading for the soil pipe of irrelevance. Their constant attempts to court the lizard-brain, paranoid, xenophobic vote combined with their desire to keep easily controlled ignorant figurehead puppets in office has turned the party into a non-stop Jerry Springer fundie X-tian revival show. Just look at the gop field this cycle. It's truly PATHETIC.
ReplyDeleteThey were grooming Wa$chilla DeVile for a while and then when they thought they had her paper trained she turned and bit the hand that feeds her. Now the puppet masters like Rove are trying to marginalize her because of her rants against the "gop establishment." Such delicious Schadenfreude :) Lie down with dogs and you'll end up with fleas eventually.
Spot on.
Delete"the soil pip of irrelevance" - a metaphor my 9th grade English teacher would have applauded.
DeleteI would love to be at the upcoming Republican Convention and watch Sarah Palin as she mingles w/the various people. They will ALL have seen this movie, I'm sure. She has balls bigger than Todd's that is for sure. She will NOT be picked for any spot on a ticket while in Florida!!!
ReplyDelete*in my sista girl voice including the neck roll*
ReplyDelete"Oh NO he didn't!"
The Turd Blossom has smacked the pitbull with shiny lip gloss on that big ole nose with a newspaper! What will Baldy's handful of followers do now? Well, I just had to go and see and this is what the Director of Crazy (Stacy Drake) had to say...
"Is it possible that the overrated “architect” meant to say that no endorsement is “worth snot?” Perhaps, but why use the Palins as an example? If he didn’t have a history of taking cheap-shots at Governor Palin, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. But he does, so I won’t."
There's more...but I didn't want to make folks sick to their stomachs this early in the day! Suffice to say...while reading the rest of the post I could of sworn I heard tiny violins (or was it a flute...SHRUG)playing in the background!
Looks like the Turd has given a message to Baldy. You can't tell me that ole Turdy didn't give permission for that "private conference call" to be leaked! Let's see if the old girl will take the bait! LOL!
It should be noted that the turnout vote for our Alaskan Republican primary was low and lower than our last one (which was 14,000+). It is being noted across the nation that turnouts were lower than expected too. Ya think the Republican party is in trouble folks?
ReplyDeletePS...per the Turd's picture....has the man never heard of teeth whitening?
ReplyDeleteHis breath probably smells like...uh....well...turds of course!
At least untalented non moving Bristol Palin can brag she finished 3rd on DWTS while her mama's pick finished 4t in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised with what Rove has to say about her. Likely because she is a teapartier but the reason I'm not surprised is the Bush's denounced her all along. If you watch the interview with Oprah and Bush...Oprah asked him what he thought about Sarah Palin to which he said he wasn't going there, and gave his half assed chuckle, it was quite funny, he felt like he was on the spot. Then his mother said to Larry King that she wished she would just go away. So there is no doubt that the Bush'ies didn't like her and didn't want to see her in any part of the Republican party.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to note watching the video of SP on CNN at the voting booth that there wasn't a single sole in the background paying any kind of attention to this media loving whore. Did anyone else notice this? I mean, aren't these suppose to be her fan base voters? I guess Alaskan Republican voters have got the real sniff of her and they want her to just go away.
ReplyDeleteI noticed. No one even glanced in her direction. I think under usual circumstances that would have been pretty hard to do--ignoring a national news camera like that. Then there was the CNN headline making such a big deal about her casting her vote...who cares???
Delete--Melanmoney
I noticed that and commented on another thread. They were almost deliberately ignoring her. No one even trying to get their mug in the shot. It was like she had the plague. Quite a come-down for the former governor.
DeleteI just Googled the population of Wasilla, to see its about as many people as turned out for the entire Alaska Republican primary.
ReplyDeleteA city no one ever HEARD of prior to Sarah Palin making it the butt of jokes.
I can only hope this is an indication that the whole nation is coming to the obvious conclusion that it does not matter which of the clowns in the tiny car, is the last standing...they are all ridiculous, and in no way should even be considered as "Presidential."
She hasn't given up. She wants a brokered convention and thinks they will turn to her.
ReplyDeleteShe is undercutting the GOP anyway she can. If they don't do her in now, it will be a more of a mess than they can fix.
Palin is crazy.
