Sarah Palin Self Destructs and Calls Fox News Gutless


Sarah Palin Self Destructs and Calls Fox News Gutless

Sarah Palin has once again put her foot in her mouth. While defending Ted Cruz’s efforts to defund Obamacare, Palin called Republicans that are opposing Cruz gutless. This includes her own employer, Fox News.

On Breitbart, Palin wrote, “Those of us who hang in there supporting a major political party with our energy, time, and contributions would like to believe that that party would praise principled conservatives like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee for following through on campaign promises. We’d like to believe that the GOP establishment would applaud the way these bold leaders have rallied the grassroots to their cause. But, no, such praise would require a commensurate level of guts and leadership, and the permanent political class in D.C. is nothing if not gutless and rudderless.”

The problem is that among the “gutless” is the television network that employs Palin. Fox News Sunday spent the majority of their program today discrediting Ted Cruz. The take down job included Chris Wallace grilling Cruz by using the Senate rules to explain to him why his plan will fail, getting to admit that he has lacks the Republican votes in the Senate for his plan, and forcing Cruz to dance around the question of how he plans to win this fight. Fox News followed the on air massacre of Cruz with a panel discussion that featured a Karl Rove among others attacking and discrediting Cruz’s plan.

-snip-

If she keeps doing what she is doing, Palin won’t have to quit on Fox News. She will almost certainly be fired (again).

People who are too nutty to cope with Pox go to Breitbart.

Is there any place after that besides a nice hospital staffed by people in white coats who speak soothingly while they hand you strong medicine?

a big gulp slurpy being guzzled, her sitting Indian style bawling, with her make-up running babbling some nonsense only her sad little followers would understand.

Needless to say I was a little bummed after seeing headline & finding out my wish has not yet come true. Maybe tomorrow...

her face gulping right out of the giant cup, sobbing about how someone still wants her on tv. Then the final phone call comes... Jerry Springer wants a reunion show.... Cruz, Gohmert, Bachman, King, they're all invited....

I'm pretty sure that's where they found these idiots in the first place.

but when I do, I remember awhile back my daughter who lives in Phoenix called to tell me she had just gone into a little nail shop and Sarah Palin was in there having her nails done... my daughter's description said it all (as good as your vision)!

Maybe Cruz and Lee will show guts and leadership like Palin and quit halfway into their terms.

the big, raw sores on her knees, when they agreed to take her back.... They were ugly, ugly, ugly.... OMG Nearly abscessed straight through to the bone!!

She'll probably have to have plastic surgery to remove the hideous scars, if she wants to wear a skirt above the knees, that is. But she's accustomed to plastic surgeries, so it's not a big deal.

At least we know that the chance of her running for office are nearly negligible. The woman is the laziest wannabe _____ there is. Though it would have been fun to watch, say if she'd run for a senate seat...... But she won't. She's dumb, but she's not totally stupid. She knows the media, talk shows and comedians would have a feeding frenzy with her and her family.
Damn, I'd love to see that. No one deserves it more.

I'll never forgive her for saying that she felt she didn't have to think at all about whether she could handle being vp..... What a narcissist. We dodged, not a bullet, but a nuclear event, if that traitor McC had won.....

I really don't like her. She is an insult to all women, imnsho.

Before she was picked as vp, the polls were kinda back and forth. After, I think a LOT of people who were on the fence thought, "Holy shit, he IS over 70, if something happens to him SHE would take over? Nope, cant take that risk". And the polls went the other way.

Republicans were hoping to get the number of Hispanics that Bush got, at least about 44%, but Palin helped put a stop to that by enabling the racist crowds at her political stops with the dog whistles. She alienated the Jewish vote from the get-go with her fundamentalism and female voters had a visceral hatred of her because she polled horribly with them. McCain wanted a woman to drain the Hillary Clinton voters from Democrats, but she was like a Bizarro Hillary. She scared away the female, minority and youth vote. You're right; she helped lose the election for McCain.

A mutiny within the gop … and I can’t say that gives me the sad. Friday evening, during my drive home from work, I caught a segment of the glenn beck (radio) show and he flat out said, as he was praising cruz and lee, that he was done voting for republicans … and his on-air guest (some elected official) agreed with him.

And yeah, you can blame "the media", all you want Sarah, but you know deep in your heart, that you did that mostly to YOURSELF.
