Did Palin’s press agent push the panic button?
Sarah Palin’s adorable sidekick Greta Van Susteren was interviewing Fox colleague Karl “Turdblossom” Rove about the effect of the Bush Depression on Republican prospects for the 2012 race, Obama’s elitist vacation, etc. The subject turned—as ever—to other Fox colleague Sarah “Quitting Bull” Palin, Rove’s recent remarks about her getting into the 2012 race and Team Quitting Bull’s caustic response to Rove’s speculation. From the transcript (because I can’t get the bloody, buggery video code):
ROVE: Yes. Well, first of all, I do assume she—she—when her—when SARAHPAC issues a statement, I assume that Governor Palin authorized the statement. So she knew exactly what SARAHPAC was going to say. But look, here’s the deal…
VAN SUSTEREN: I didn’t even know about, but OK.
ROVE: Oh, yes. Yes, that’s where—that’s where—that’s where her comment came from was a statement put out by SARAHPAC. But look, she’s a big—she’s a potentially big factor in the presidential election. If she were to get in, she’d be a “contenda,” as they would say. She was the vice presidential nominee in 2008. She maintains a following.
There are people who want her in and there are some people who would be deeply concerned if she did because she’d be eating into their—into their ranks. But she’s a player. And so if she doesn’t want to be speculated about, then end the speculation by saying, “I’m not going to be a candidate.”
Until then, I would just recommend she might get a slightly thicker skin because if she’s got this thin a skin now, when people are saying, Well, I think she might be a candidate, what kind of—how’s she going to react if she does get into the campaign and gets the scrutiny that every presidential candidate does get? I mean, that’s not going to be a pretty sight if she’s as thin-skinned in the fray as she is on the edges of it.
At that point, the interview was abruptly cut off with a “breaking news alert” about Steve Jobs’ resignation, which was definitely NOT breaking news at that hour. You can see the clip at The Raw Story here.
Rove also says he suspects Palin would be whining about LACK of coverage if no one was paying attention to her. Those are probably the truest words the cretinous bastard has ever uttered in his miserable life.
