Morning Joe: Palin a “Circus Act,” “Joke”

Take a look at this Wednesday Morning Joe exchange between Willy Geist, Joe Scarborough and Mike Allen of the Politico. You’ve got the full range of Sarah Palin two minutes hate in this one. Mike Allen calls her a “circus act.” Joe calls her a “joke” and compares her to Dan Quayle. Allen proceeds to advise her to go back to Alaska. Willie says she needs to study the issues and then informs viewers that they haven’t written her off yet.

And what did the lovely Governor of Alaska do to deserve this morning thrashing? Um … she had the gall to be the subject of a Vanity Fair hit piece by Todd Purdum.

That’ll learn her.

Look, I worked on the McCain campaign. Palin had her shortcomings, but she also brought some incredible strengths to the campaign. And perhaps the McCain staffers who continue to trash the governor are deflecting attention away from how remarkably screwed up and dysfunctional the operation was even before the Palin pick. What I don’t understand is this: Why would anyone hire a bunch of campaign staffers after watching how viciously they are attacking their former employer?

“Why would anyone hire a bunch of campaign staffers after watching how viciously they are attacking their former employer?”

Duh!

Because they know where the bodies are buried.

Moneybags Romney will hire them if only as consultants, to get inside intel.

Never liked McCain so I hope President Oboma succeds. But it is interesting to me how you talk show hosts become so qualified to judge Sarah Palin in ways that not other candidate has had to endure. Joe, I used to respect you a bit but to call anyone a joke, well this makes you about the same grade as David Letterman..online degree

In an interview on CNN, Joe Lucas, the Vice President of the Americans for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) refused to admit that burning coal contributes to global warming.This shouldn’t come as a shocker to anyone in the know, Lucas has spent the better part of decade running public campaigns that donwplay the realities of climate change..Bay Area Colleges

Dan Quayle looks like Barack Obama compared to Sarah Palin.

Just because she gives you an erection doesn’t emean she’s the right person for the election.

Don’t let the little head think for the big one you %^&*%&^ hillbilly.
