Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney joked about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palins place on Times list of influential people, saying, But was that the issue on the most beautiful people or the most influential people?
In an interview on CNNs State of the Union broadcast Sunday, Romney was responding to a question from the moderator as to whether Times inclusion of Palin and talk show host Rush Limbaugh on their list of The Worlds Most Influential People was a positive or negative thing for the Republican Party.
Romney added, I think there are a lot more influential Republicans than that would suggest.
After his boss caught flak for his apparent dissing of Palin, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom spun the comment as just a self-deprecating joke as to why there werent more Republicans on the list, according to a report in Politico.
I think there are 100 influential Republicans alone who have tremendous ideas and I hope that we can all work together to accomplish what we believe is best for America, Palin said through a spokeswoman.

I’ve clipped mine with a set of electric clippers set to 1/4” for the past 45 years, haven’t been in a barber shop that entire time. I don’t own a brush or comb.
The Palinstinians and the Romulans
Fellas, if it wasn’t meant to be an insult would Governor Palin have rushed out this scathing 34 second video in response?

Your #122 — sound counsel, as usual.
"It's agreed, then. Our agents, helpers, their spouses and their contacts in the MSM,
will attack Gov. Palin to help both Obama and us."
Spoiler Romney attacks Gov. Palin:
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
Poor sport spoiler Romney attacks other GOP candidatesn:
Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"
You have a nice way of mixing up apples and oranges into an unrecognizable fruit cocktail.
When did I ever suggest FR purge Sarah supporters? Fred Supporters? Or for that matter Paul or Mitt or Mccain or Rudy supporters. Never did. Never would.
Now don’t get your panties in a twist because I’m not a Palin supporter. I don’t need to extend any courtesy to Fred or Sarah or anyone running. They, on the other hand need to earn my vote.
It’s entertaining. At least to me, anyway.
They advertised it as a listening tour, but what I’ve heard out of it was a lecture tour to tell us what THEY think we should believe. One kid put it in clear terms to Jebb and he punted big time...
Did you read the transcript? It read like a complete dis to me.
FLASHBACK
mbraynard (antiPalin RomneyBOT): "Really? I think the exact same thing about Palin, R-Retard.
An individual should be able to complete a few sentences in a row without a grammatical abortion before running for president, no?"

Oh yeah??????? Palin has decreased spending in Alaska 16.7% over her Republican predecessor. She saved Alaska’s surplus from the good times when people were trying to convince her to spend it. Show me anyone who has done the same thing lately?
“Palin is the only person that will keep Romney from the nomination. It will be a war.”
Then Romney will lose. He needs to gracefully shut up and disappear.
LOL. Thou doth protest too much (and my ‘panties’ are fine thank you).
He won the last one by raising half a billion dollars.
And as some wise old guy on Fox noted at the same time, it will take a billion dollars to unseat Barry in 2012. It can be done.
How Romney is that?
The elite can go take a flying F...
Don’t forget the nationalized form or healthcare he left the good people of MA when he left office..... he basically cloned Hillarycare and it’s bankrupting MA.
Not my problem if you mix me up not supporting a candidate with calls for purging their supporters. Apples, oranges.
Join her campaign then.
