I don't care for Scarborough but he's 100% right on this. Palin makes Hubert Humphery look like Lincoln. Her only really skill is an uncanny ability to remain the spotlight despite a ton of evidence that she's really not a good politician and kinda clueless in general.

Too many people in the GOP seem to think that their bases hates the Dems enough that they'll vote for any jackass with an elephant button on their shirt. That might have been true at one point but not anymore.

Hey, it worked for Bush for 2 terms.

No, what worked with Bush was that his opponents were feckless idiots. Gore wanted a recount in 2000 of a specific limited number of counties that were pro-Bush, where if he'd asked for the entire state he would have won. Kerry was so pathetic that he, despite being a *real* war hero was outplayed on Vietnam by a good ol' boy draft dodger.

Lol Kerry a War Hero.

Look for Huffington Post and Daily Kos to publish strong rebuttals of Scarborough's article.

What constitutes something being "liberal media" these days? Anything that isn't lock-step with the Repub-Dem party congresses and their spawn?

the_rukh November 30 2010, 16:09:39 UTC

Yes. Or anything that is but has become inconvenient.

tridus November 30 2010, 21:36:59 UTC

"Liberal media" is generally defined as "anything the Fox 'News' demographic doesn't want to hear."

boo, I wish conservatives could be a little more united behind ol' Sarah, she is after all the progressive cause's last best hope for victory.

LOL geezer_also November 30 2010, 16:24:22 UTC

I'm not sure what that says about the progressive cause ;)

Re: LOL the_rukh November 30 2010, 16:40:21 UTC

It's been in a bad place for a while now.

Re: LOL sealwhiskers November 30 2010, 22:42:50 UTC

nothing wrong with the causes, people in general suck though, they're mostly egoistical bastards!

On the other hand, what Palin said was true: Reagan was a man best known for starring in a movie with a chimpanzee, and the Bushes are a family of carpetbagging Damnyankees who just happen to be Right-Wingers, not lefties like the Roosevelts and Kennedys.

On the other other hand the person saying it couldn't hack being governor of the least-populated state in the Union and was Candidate Failure in 2008 and 2010 both. Not to mention her preacher's connected to witch hunters and her husband is a separatist. So......those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
