Vanity: Fox News Panelist Liz Trotta Agrees With Karl Rove: Palin's Alaska Is Unpresidential

Posted on 11/13/2010 12:38:19 PM PST by Retired Intelligence Officer

I was appalled at Liz Trotta and 3 other conservative guest panelist (that I couldn't name) on this afternoons Fox newswatch hosted by Jon Scott all agreed that Palins new reality show, Sarah Palin's Alaska on the Discovery Channel was very unpresidential and it would sink her any chances for the White House.

The topic was that liberal advocacy groups were asking for the Discovery Channel to pull the plug on it. The consevative commentator Liz Trotta then said that she agreed with Karl Rove that this was a bad move for Palin. Trotta then goes on to take a pop shot at Palin saying "everytime this woman opens her mouth that her numbers go down". She then said "the more she speaks that she makes people simply not like her". Jon Scott did not ask Trotta why this was just like yesterday when Megyn Kelly didn't ask Meghan McCain why she thought Palin would be best as a reality star.

My question is why is Fox news who hired Sarah Palin allowing conservative guest freely without explanation to back up their facts to trash her and her message in a public forum? Why are they allowing people to tarnish her reputation as well as her new TV program which they advertize during commercial time? Something smells

The quit thing will hurt her if she runs.

The "quit" thing would have DESTROYED her immediately after she announced her resignation.

She is more powerful than ever, please explain that?

Almost as bad as, say, a 20-Mule Team Borax Commercial, which, if done by a person with political ambitions, would have disqualified him from being president.

It is not the jobs we do as we travel through life, it is how we live while doing our jobs.

you don’t think she can win states like Ohio, Indiana, Michigan or Iowa ?

These are mostly rural and urban midwestern swing states

What irks me is when I hear that she doesn’t “have the experience to be President” or is “Unqualified” I agree that a person needs to have experience in order to be President. Absolutely, just can’t have anyone in there. If that were the case I should run, but with what I know this country wouldn’t last 24 hours, I would have no clue what I am doing LOL..but after Obama won, its not like that anymore. Look at the guy, he can’t even recite his own damn name without a teleprompter, he has all of his goons(Or czars) doing the work for him, making decisions for him. What vast array of knowledge did Obama have before he became President, what, a few months as Senator, BIG WHOOP, the majority of that time he was either voting “Present” or running for President. He won because the media hyped him into some God that would make skittles fall out of the sky. If the media had actually done their JOB Obama would never have made it out of the primary. And if you look at it this way, with all of his associations with terrorists, any other person like him would be on a terrorist watch list right now instead of in the White House. Sick of the word “experience” I want someone in the White House who gives a damn about this country, someone who doesn’t bow down to terrorist countries, someone who doesn’t bankrupt us, and someone who doesn’t apologize for US..Sarah Palin would make a great President, great Secretary Of State, whatever she decides to do I will root for her 100 percent!

I'm really beginning to dislike Rove.

Well, Karl is starting to p*** me off.

Sorry, I don't like to use sewer language.

I would worry more if their opinions were stifled by Fox News. Wouldn't you ? And that's all they are...opinions.

"So we gotta go all in on Palin or we’re done for?"

Yep. Time for you to wake up.

All those states, besides Indiana, I doubt she can win. We’ll see if she even takes the primary if she tries. It’s all speculation now.

All I am saying is that you actually really don’t have a clue as to what her record of accomplishments were in Alaska. You can’t comment on a single policy she enacted as governor and it shows by you saying “didn’t she build some bridge?”. Well the answer to that is no she didn’t. She killed that project. All you are attempting to do is slander her because you are ignorant to comment on her record and policy positions as governor that made her executive resume stellar to that of Obama’s. I am well versed in her achievements so I challenge you to comment about her record again as to why she is qualified or not qualified to be president?

Funny how you say I ‘hate’ Palin if I disagree with putting her on a pedastal and saying the entire conservative cause lives or dies by her.

You’ve basically said ‘join Palin or you’re a communist’. Right?

Thats $500k before she quit. Who knows how much it will be now, if she remained as Gov. Probably a few million $$. Palin was not a rich person. She was not even a millionaire

Again, it doesn’t matter if she turned all the toilets in Alaska to gold.

She quit and is now a media celebrity and as far as anyone knows, isn’t even in the running for 2012.

Spending August in Crawford was always about torturing the msm and I just loved it loved it loved.

Now they get to go to Martha’s Vineyard and be shat upon and I’m sure they love it love love it.

Reagan got far better advice from that chimp than George W. ever got from Carl “Turd Blossom” Rove. Just a little more vitriolic from the elitists and the GOP becomes a piece of history with plenty of time for a reformation before 2012.
Either Rove is a genius and knows we need this fight for the heart and soul of conservatism now or he is a blithering blowhard. I suspect the latter.
