George W Bush thinks Sarah Palin is 'unqualified'
Telegraph UK ^

Posted on 11/05/2010 11:26:17 PM PDT by 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?'"

There will be very few FReepers lamenting the passing of Chet from what I gather.

'Bout as many as those FReepers who are deeply saddened that Nancy Pelosi will no longer be Speaker of the House come January.

I hope Peelosi gets the minority leader job. She’s God’s gift to conservatives running for congress.

When you actually read the article, it very quickly becomes blatantly obvious it’s a hit piece on both President Bush and Governor Palin.

The Writer refers to them without their honorific, substituting Mr and MS for their proper titles, and you’ll notice that it’s not an actual statement from President Bush, but an unnamed “Republican official close to Mr. Bush”.

Not one bit of evidence, and a LOT of hearsay. It’s not even worth the electrons I inconvenienced in responding to this silliness.

Nice try, lamestreamers.

I believe when someone gets zotted , their posting history should be preserved or archived so their idiocy can be savored and set as an example.

Savor at your leisure.

Does the Name Carter suggest anything? I did say that I didn’t know if the article was true or not, however, your equivocating about the fact you think it is ok for Bush to bad mouth Palin but not Bozo just proves my point. You are obviously a Bush supporter, one who is blind to the many faults the guy has and which made him, not a great President but a mediocre one, one who made many mistakes, the main one being failure to bad mouth his political opponents regardless of how much they bad mouthed him. Not fighting back and keeping quiet about evil men is the best way to lose any freedom we might still have.

Oh, I’ve heard of them, but that graphic is a bit ugly and distorted from the pix I vaguely remember seeing, mostly of Ren. I’ve never actually seen the cartoon.

Sheltered life...

I don’t buy this story! George Bush is too nice a man to say things like that! He won’t even criticize Zero!

I agree with you. For as much as I've been upset with GWB in his second term over many issues, I can't envision that quote coming from his lips. Consider the source.
