George W Bush thinks Sarah Palin is 'unqualified'
Telegraph UK ^

Posted on 11/05/2010 11:26:17 PM PDT by Chet 99

Mr Bush has allegedly told friends that Mrs Palin is not qualified to be president and criticises John McCain for picking her as his Running Mate in 2008

"Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man," a Republican official close to Mr Bush told the New York Daily News.

"He thinks McCain ran a lousy campaign with an unqualified running mate and destroyed any chance of winning by picking Palin."

Mr Bush has allegedly been disparaging about Mrs Palin in the past.

Matt Latimer, former special assistant to Mr Bush, wrote in a book released last year: "'I'm trying to remember if I've met her before. I'm sure I must have.' [Mr Bush's] eyes twinkled, then he asked, 'What is she, the governor of Guam?'"

And isn’t Bush that incompetent Fabian Socialist who decided to use his Republican majority to out-Democrat the Democrats? How’s that “compassionate conservatism” working for ya?

That writer in the American Spectator had it right - it’s the elites vs. the rest of the United States. And Bush is one of the elites. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but his family started as New England blue bloods, and that Yale education certainly made him comfortable with the rest of the high and mighty.

Hey, GW - go back to clearing brush and leave Sarah alone.

Well look at the bright side. At least Sarah Palin will have very little trouble, if she should run for president in 2012, demonstrating that she is not “in with Dubya.”

I was so enjoying the quite coming from Bush’s mouth. All well, the media has to drag him out every now and then so we will all remember who to blame.

That is the point. these stories (with un-named sources) are intended to get republicans, conservatives, and tea party members to second guess each other.

If they don’t name a source, just ignore them.

Bush and Poppy are elites. I like Pete DuPont far more than Poppy.

McCain/Feingold gave us Dems 2006/2008 and Obama. Thank AZ for reelecting POS McCain.

Well we once again see that there is no loyalty inside the beltway these days.

Once upon a few decades ago the staffers would wait until the president was dead to write the tell all books that would embarrass the president.

Amen. I loved the moment the other night when O’Reilly couldn’t remember the name of Christine O’Donnell’s opponent in the primary and asked his producer before Palin came up with the name. “You’re brighter than anybody here,” he said.
“Darned right I am.”
Go Sarah. I’m sick of being an apologist.

Ok, so the guy all the Bush lovers were praising this morning for NOT criticizing Bozo now takes a shot at Palin. He takes the high ground with dimwits but trashes the most popular Republican at this time.

I don't know if this story is true but if it is, it sure puts the lie to "he takes the high ground" and "he is so noble" BS that was flowing this morning when he wouldn't bad mouth Bozo.

He complains about Sarah, but won’t say a word about BO.

Must not have had any pit bull articles to post tonight or got confused by the lipstick and posted an anti-Hockey Mom article instead.
