Karl Rove To Sarah Palin: Get A Thicker Skin (video)
RealClearPolitics ^ | August 24, 2011 | RealClearPolitics

Karl Rove responds to controversy over his speculation if Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin will indeed enter the GOP field. Rove said chances are she will jump in, but was not definitive in his observation.

"I mystified," Rove said about his speculation. "Look, she is all upset about this saying how I am trying to sabatouge her in some way. How do I speculate on her future."

"Look, if she doesn't want to be speculated about a potential presidential candidate there is an easy way to end the speculation. Simply say 'I'm not running.' Instead, every time she pops up in the public eye like she did on CNN, at the Iowa State fair a short number of days ago. she said 'I haven't made a decision.'"

"I'm just speculating that more likely than not she is going to be a candidate."

"Now I said 'I wouldn't bet a lot of money on it' because it is such a close thing and I am not privy to her thought-making process. But it is sign of enormous thin-skin that if we speculate about her, she gets upset. And I suspect if we didn't speculate about her, she would be upset and getting ways to get us to speculate about her."

No Rove, you have a long history of undermining Tea Party candidates which is exactly what this nonsense is about. No she won’t hire you to run her campaign like Mitt Rino likely will.

Pray for America

I’m sure as soon as she announces, Rove will say she can’t win.

Hard to say, unfortunately some stains are permanent.

Thicker skin, if my kids would have been made fun of, someone would be hurt. Palin demonstrates control.

Karl, she sucked up a lot of s**t starting Labor Day weekend 2008 and continuing to one extent or another right up to now, and still managed to do a lot of good for the GOP and the conservative movement, while you and a bunch of folks who are now strolling in and trying to take advantage of it were sitting on the sidelines and letting it happen, if not actually helping to throw the s**t at her. So you know, you can shine it up real good, turn it sideways, and stuff it.

I think it makes Sarah more popular that this ass clown is hated on BOTH sides of the isle. Karl Rove despises Sarah Palin, always has..can’t stand the fact that his butt buddy Mitt Romney is hated by Conservatives so he goes after her..I bet Tokyo Rove huffed and puffed to the polls in 2008 to vote for Obama..he should just change parties already, he is a disgrace to the GOP

Why does anyone even listen to this has-been loser? Easy to talk about "thicker skin" when you're the one shooting at your own side.

Someone pleae send this asswipe back down to Texas, where they say jobs are plentiful.

Poor Karl, winning “prom queen” seems out of reach for him again this year, but nice try!
