[E. Pluribus Unum]

Reagan's Eleventh Commandment had a Palin exemption, evidently.

Another RINO 5th columnist hack needing to be purged from the Republican party.

[matginzac]

While this guy has every right to mouth off, hope he NEVER gets a political job - certainly not with the pubbies - ever again. Thou shalt not RAT...

[Voter62vb]

Says more about McCain and his “strategeryists” than Palin.

[Sans-Culotte]

Had McCain chosen Lieberman or any other ‘rat, I flat-out would not have voted for him. I really thought that he was going to pick Lieberman.

My dentist told me that years ago 60 Minutes did a hit job on silver fillings. He said he couldn't believe his ears as he listened to a spokesman from the American Dental Association seem to agree with the premise that silver fillings caused health issues. Then my dentist said that shortly thereafter the ADA published the full transcript of the interview and that in fact 60 Minutes had taken passages totally out of context to make the spokesman seem to be saying the exact opposite of what he actually said.

I'm sure that is not exactly the case with this Schmidt guy, that in fact there was no need for 60 Minutes to take him out of context to fit their agenda, for Schmidt and 60 Minutes share the same dishonest agenda.

[CORedneck]

The only thing the MSM is good for is hit pieces on decent people. Anyone remember Samoza of Nicaragua ? Media did a hit piece on him but he was friendly to this country unlike the Daniel Ortega dictatorship.

[popdonnelly]

The only reason Schmidt got this interview was that he was willing to trash Palin. Do you think that 60 Minutes would give him time to talk about his failed McCain campaign strategy? Of course not.

[WashingtonSource]

Is Schmidt a fag?

[Ann Archy]

If ANY Republican Hires Steve Schmidt or Mark McKinnon, they should be VOTED AGAINST!!

Mark McKinnon was Bush's "COMMUNICATION" guy!! I think Mark SABOTAGED Bush, since he is a DEMOCRAT!!!!!

Steve Schmidt is a MEAN LIBERAL.

[rrrod]

This guy is a top consultant tied to the RNC/GOP elites and more than a few senators from my understanding.

[oldbill]

People forget that Schmidt was the #3 man in the Bush 2004 campaign and was instrumental in turning what should have been a runaway landslide over a prissy dilletante (Kerry) into a near loss.

His mishandling of the National Guard mess twice in that year was only saved by the Swiftboaters and bloggers who brought out the truth that Schmidt was clueless about.

Schmidt is typical of that inside-the-Beltway culture that thinks themselves brilliant and enlightened and the rest of the populace ignorant rubes ready to respond to the morsels they hand out. Schmidt was more interested in getting puff pieces about himself in the Washington Post and liberal rags and TV than about advancing any conservative causes or principles.

Bad news - the Schmidts and that ilk still run the national Republican party. There will be no return to conservative values while Schmidt clones are still in charge.

[Russ]

I guess that next week 60 minutes will give Palin an opportunity to rebut what Schmidt said about her, right?

[eleni121]

Add O’Schmidt to the long list of GOP overweight over hyped overly momma’s boys has beens.

What a disgrace.

Sarah - You go girl!

[eleni121]

Watching that fat face of OSCHMIDT last night: all I could recall was another farty fat face: Scott McClellan

[ElkGroveDan]

Barbara Boxer and Barack Obama are thankful every day for Steve Schmidt.

One wonders why McCain and Romney have not spoke up aginst this.
Click below to find out why Mitt is silent.

“Steve Schmidt, campaign manager for John McCain had this to say on last night’s Hugh
Hewitt show talking about the 2012 Presidential campaign:
‘If I had to bet money on it, if I had to bet money on it today, you’d have to say that the
people that I think look very good, very strong right now are Governor Romney,
Governor Huntsman. I think Newt Gingrich, should he run, is going to be a very
formidable, very formidable candidate. But the history of the Republican Party
nominating process is that it almost always goes to someone who’s been around the track
once before. And in that instance, in this instance, it would be Governor Romney. I
thought he was a very scary opponent looking from the other side of the table in that he
was almost like a learning organism at the end. He just kept getting better week by week
by week, and kept becoming stronger. And I think these national campaigns are very
unique, and I think most people learn a great deal with they go through them. And I think
one of the reasons that President Bush was able to make it through the process the first
time, unlike most people on the Republican side, is because he had been up close and
personal through a couple of national races. And I think Mitt Romney is a candidate, is a
far stronger candidate, prospectively, for the ’12 race because of his experience in ’08
than he was heading into the ’08 race.’”

[Elsie]

He claims Palin did poorly in the Katie Couric interview because she "did not prepare for it."

Next time she'll HAVE a teleprompter!
