Fund has been yucking it up with his pals on the John Batchelor show for months sneering at her chances and saying she isn't running. On 8/15, he had this to say about Palin's appearance in Ames:
"Palin, Inc. has a very large department tucked away in the back corner that's called the Dept. of Head Fakes...(laughter)...and it is designed to try to convince as many people as possible that she is a potential presidential candidate when she has no intention of doing so. I would be thunderst....I would be struck dumb if Sarah Palin entered this race. Michele Bachmann, for better or worse, has taken much of her space and perhaps even extended it." .(Note: No mention by Mr. Fund or the show host that he is collaborating on a book with Bachmann. He always forgets to add that little diddy.)

"Sarah Palin is....well Sarah Palin can't afford to give up all that her celebrity status gives to spend the next nine months in Holiday Inns."
Most on FR understand all of this. But a wishful faction, well, YOU know...
WHACK! Thanks very much for the quotes!
Fund is an inside the Beltway hack and I’ve seen enough of him over the years to call him an idiot, because he’s more often wrong than right.
He’s a smug little bastard as well.
I knew about the book, also which makes him an impartial broker.
He’s no better than Ed Rollins...lol.
