In this Paul Revere thing, we’ve got Palin, who probably made a verbal slip that turns out to be true, or possibly knew an obscure part of Revere’s memoirs of the event, but in the mean time is shaping the “national conversation” about most of the major political issues today, and doing it with a Facebook page and an apparently supernatural ability to manipulate the media to her advantage, now that she’s no longer being “handled” by “professionals”. Conclusion: what a dope.
In the other corner, we’ve got Obama’s 57 states thing, which was actually another plausible slip (I think he actually meant “47 states”) that was still in no way true. Conclusion: it’s just a slip.
I’ll remind you of Barry Goldwater, the thoughtless stupid ideologue who set a lot of the Conservative movement in motion;
Jerry Ford, the stupid clumsy oaf who was a football star, who graduated in the top 25 percent at Yale Law School while coaching football full time, and was known to be supremely athletic, continuing to ski well into old age;
and Ronald Reagan, the “mere actor” who was president of SAG, two-term Governor of California, two-term President of the United States, and who even liberal historian Doug (son of David) Brinkley now admits was a brilliant and well-read man.
And I’d suggest that anyone who thinks Sarah Palin is stupid should never, never ever, take the other side of a bar bet with her.
Well, that’s laughable.
So the elderly, outspoken, in your face with her own personal views, Barbara Bush said she hopes Palin stays in Alaska, and we can now attribute ill will toward Sarah Palin by the entire Bush family.
Just like she set the pro-choice agenda for her husband and her son, I suppose........oh, wait........they were both pro-life.
Never mind.
Don’t tell us to google George W Bush’s view on Sarah Palin. Give us a specific, provable quote from George W Bush that fits your accusations.
Use Google very carefully. It is a leftist site and is filled with leftist distortions. Google is filled with so many lies and distortions about the man himself, it is deliciously ironic that you would try to use Google to prove a GWBush-Palin put down.
About on par with your attempt to make Barbara Bush into the other Bushes.
The point being, W, whom I most days otherwise adore, should be supporting Palin, at least behind the scenes if not openly.
New York: George W Bush has suggested that Republican leader Sarah Palin is “unqualified” and she spoiled the party’s 2008 presidential election campaign, a top aide of the former US President has said.
“Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man. He thinks McCain ran a lousy campaign with an unqualified running mate and destroyed any chance of winning by picking Palin,” a Republican official close to Bush was quoted as saying by the ‘New York Daily News’.
Bush suggested that the 46-year-old glamorous former Alaskan governor is not at all qualified to be President and criticised Senator John McCain for picking her as his Running Mate in 2008, the report said.
Matt Latimer, former special assistant to 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’. (Bush’s) eyes twinkled, then he asked, ‘What is she, the governor of Guam?’” Bush has been disparaging about Palin in the past.
