Begala calls Palin 'about half a whack job' Posted: August 14th, 2009 07:15 PM ET
From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Longtime Democratic strategist Paul Begala hammered former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Friday — calling her "flaky and an intellectual lightweight."
Begala was asked on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" to respond to a Politico story in which former House Speaker Newt Gingrich outlined several ways for Palin to repair her image.
Although Begala called Gingrich "a brilliant political strategist," he said giving advice to Palin is an exercise in futility.
"Here's the problem," said Begala, a CNN contributor. "He is trying to treat her like a serious person. She is not. OK? She is about half a whack job. She does not have the intellectual heft of Newt Gingrich or almost anyone else in the Republican Party, and I think she has proved that."
He continued: "I admire Newt Gingrich for pretending that she is a serious person. But Sarah Palin has proven herself to be flaky and an intellectual lightweight."

So how did this “intellectual lightweight” somehow cause the senate Dems to cave?
I believe the words, "So To Speak" are supposed to be used here.
Everytime they come out swinging at Sarah it just proves she’s on em like fleas on a dog.
“CNN program: Longtime Democratic strategist Paul Begala”
can I spell propaganda with a capital Pee? “Paul”
‘nuff said..
Yeah, and I listened to the other “lightweight” Ronald Reagan earlier today in his 1961 dissection of socialized medicine. Tell you what, forehead, I’ll stick with these lightweights and you can have all those smart people like old 57 state Obama.
How can anyone take this man seriously?
To be such a dummy, she sure has taken Obama and his thugs to school this week through her Facebook page.
Whatever. At the present, Obama has proven that he can't even go toe to toe with himself.
Only a network that apparently doesn’t understand that its ratings are in the basement and yet continues to dig.
Dude I haven’t even seen her on TV. She kicked their ass right off of Facebook lol. That is a 21st century butt whooping she gave ‘em.
“Paul Begala”
Paul Begala, are you kidding me...I have crapped more substantive things than Paul Begala...That little worm is less than a turd. IMO!
Looks as if Governor Palin is in the center of a democRAT circular firing squad and these guys just can't shoot straight! HA!
These libs continue to be absolutely terrified of Ms. Palin! Oh and Begala, STFU! Noone gives a damn about your opinion.
I shi* a runny Begala the other day. Horrific smell! That’ll tech me to never watch this asshole again!
How is your strateregying working out for the Dems lately, eh Forehead ?
“I think it’s not proven” she can go toe-to-toe with President Obama.
Sarah bitch slapped Obama all from behind her computer screen. She did more in a week to make Obama poop his pants then the GOP has done to him in months. Please, Obama does NOT want to debate Sarah Palin, she would have him cry all the way home to Kenya, Indonesia or wherever the hell he was really born. By the way, Paul Begala looks like a rodent, just thought I’d mention that
