Joe Scarborough tells GOP to man up and confront Sarah Palin
Politico ^ | 30 Nov 2010 | JOE SCARBOROUGH

Posted on 11/30/2010 11:21:42 AM PST by mandaladon

Republicans have a problem. The most-talked-about figure in the GOP is a reality show star who cannot be elected. And yet the same leaders who fret that Sarah Palin could devastate their party in 2012 are too scared to say in public what they all complain about in private. Enough. It’s time for the GOP to man up. Everybody knows that Palin is a busy woman. The former half-term governor of Alaska stays so busy these days that one wonders how this mother of five manages to juggle her new reality show, follow her eldest daughter’s dancing career and launch her latest frenetic book tour while still finding the time to insult a slew of revered presidents and first ladies.

You’ve got to admit hers is a breathtaking high-wire act.

What man or mouse with a fully functioning human brain and a résumé as thin as Palin’s would flirt with a presidential run? It makes the political biography of Barack Obama look more like Winston Churchill’s, despite the fact that the 44th president breezed into the Oval Office as little more than a glorified state senator.

Still, Palin is undeterred, charging ahead maniacally while declaring her intention to run for the top office in the land if “nobody else will.” Adding audacity to this dopey dream is that Palin can’t stop herself from taking swings at Republican giants. In the past month alone, she has mocked Ronald Reagan’s credentials, dismissed George H.W. and Barbara Bush as arrogant “blue bloods” and blamed George W. Bush for wrecking the economy.

He wants Palin to respond so he can be the “Republican” that fights with Palin. He apparently was the one that raised his hand. What a doofus. Sarah, dont respond, he is not worth it.

Rino but not a conservative.

What conservative would be on MSNBC?
He would be fired if he was.

Joe is not really part of the family of man as you and I might know them, nor is he a Republican.

He's an early morning talk show host who can pronounce most of the words correctly.

Otherwise he's a younger version of "Special Ed" Schultz.

No, of course he’s not really a Republican. MSNBC just pays him to pretend he is so that he can bash Republicans.

I would have chosen MAYOR Sarah Palin over Obama, Carter, Clinton, Gore, Mondull, Ducaca.

Hell I’d elect den mother Palin over any of them. Please see my tagline.

“...the former half-term governor of Alaska....”

Was JFK an almost 3/4 term President?

This is just silly. Palin accomplished great things while serving as gov. She had good reasons, for herself, her state and her country to step aside.
