George W Bush thinks Sarah Palin is 'unqualified'

Telegraph UK ^

[Chet 99]

Mr Bush has allegedly told friends that Mrs Palin is not qualified to be president and criticises John McCain for picking her as his Running Mate in 2008

"Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man," a Republican official close to Mr Bush told the New York Daily News.

"He thinks McCain ran a lousy campaign with an unqualified running mate and destroyed any chance of winning by picking Palin."

Mr Bush has allegedly been disparaging about Mrs Palin in the past.

Matt Latimer, former special assistant to Mr 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.' [Mr Bush's] eyes twinkled, then he asked, 'What is she, the governor of Guam?'"

This was already posted.

I don't believe it.

It's just propaganda to get us arguing over President Bush, who is much too classy to say any such things, "allegedly" or otherwise.

Read it carefully without getting all upset about the slurs of Governor Palin. It's unnamed sources alleging they were told that someone said that President Bush said... etc., etc,. etc.

Oh, and BTW,

ZOTted by the man hizself!

[big'ol_freeper]

Brilliant!!

Not only a well-deserved Zotting, but imagine the server space you will save without his compulsive deluge of pit bull threads!!

[big'ol_freeper]

Oh my!! That is funny!!

And here I thought chet only had it in for pit bulls.

Well, she did describe herself as a pit bull with lipstick.

I also remember back in '87, Bob Dornan had a cover story for NR called "My Pit Bull George" about Bush the Elder.

BTW, how much representative experience, from a national perspective did Abraham Lincoln have before he became President?

Two years as a US Congressman.

How much executive experience did Abraham Lincoln, you know, the guy who started the GOP, have before he became President?

Zero!

Well, there's a great example for ya.

The guy who plunged us into a war that killed 1 out of every American 6 men in the prime of their lives, wounded just about as many, and scarred the continent for generations... a war that resulted in the deaths of more than half a million innocent civilians (in today's terms, it would've been more like 5 million)...

A war that would we fought with... ourselves.

The guy who unconstitutionally suspended the writ of habeas corpus, shut down hundreds of newspapers, and illegally imprisoned tens of thousands of political opponents.

The guy who originally gave us all-powerful federal government.

Honestly, the more I know about Lincoln, the less impressed I am.

You call a winning comment and then proceed to outdo it with a brilliant essay, LOL! You have articulated my thinking in a way I never could. Thanks.

Here’s hoping everybody reads that post.

[kanawa]

Of possible interest...

[nhwingut]

Jim. You made my day. Way long overdue.

You've hit the nail on the head. The more Romney gets pushed forward by the liberals and RINOs the more we need to push back.

[Candor7]

George has come out against the Tea Party.

George is now waxing into elitist mode to protect the ruling class of America, who defy the will of the people.

No more progressives in Congress. OUT.....OUT..DAMN SPOTS!

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

[big black dog]

More anonymous source BS, and I don’t believe for one second that Bush said this.

[Dr. Sivana]

This from the man who at one point thought that Harriet Miers was the best possible choice for the Supreme Court?!

[grey_whiskers]

Remember Sarah Palin's acceptance speech at the RNC convention?

She said, "What's the difference between a Pit Bull and a Hockey Mom?"

"Lipstick."

You think maybe that's why Chet went after her?

(Good Shot, Jim!)

Cheers!

FUKR

[TheOldLady]

LOL! How many iterations of that cover have you done? This is a good one.

[50mm]

Three. Onyx and Fiddlstix cajoled me into this version.

[grey_whiskers]

Mobius logic?

That's twisted!

...as well as circular reasoning.

Cheers!
