Look, I don’t hold it against guys like Schmidt, Weaver et al - you just have to realize what they are - they’re political hacks. Hired hands. Guys who have to say and do whatever it takes to get the next gig. Whoring may be a word for it but I think most whores are have higher standards.

Schmidt knows he has no future with Palin, so he’s got nothing to lose and potentially something to gain by taking this position.

Just don’t confuse him with a person who is important, has impact, or any ideas worth listening to. He is what he is.

I’m just p!ssed I didn’t take a whole boatload of consumer electronic products to Alaska to be autographed!

Just don’t confuse [Schmidt] with a person who is important, has impact, or any ideas worth listening to. He is what he is.

And what he is is a creature of Washington.

And what the fundamental political battle is all about is Washington vs The Rest Of Us.

No "creature of Washington" can be expected to understand, much less appreciate, the deep, intense and genuine ire and disgust that exists outside the Beltway and the Boston-Washington corridor. And, if they can't understand the Republican base, how can they expect to mount a victorious Republican campaign?

Republican "strategists" are part of the Republican "problem".
