Palin must be stopped, says Scarborough

[Swede]

Joe Scarborough, the MSNBC host and former conservative congressman from Florida, says its time for members of his party to get off the sidelines and express their true feelings about Sarah Palin.

"Republicans have a problem. The most-talked-about figure in the GOP is a reality show star who cannot be elected," Scarborough writes in a column for Politico out Tuesday. "And yet the same leaders who fret that Sarah Palin could devastate their party in 2012 are too scared to say in public what they all complain about in private."

Scarborough, who recently returned to air after MSNBC suspended him for making a series of political contributions he did not disclose to the network, also took aim at the former Alaska governor for even considering a White House bid.

2. Oh, that's funny!

And I thought only "libs" were "afraid" of Palin. At least that's what I read on the message boards.

8. and Tancredo, Huckabee, Romney, McCain, Bachman, Gingrich, Beck,...

They all need to be stopped. :rofl:

10. But, Joe, the SECOND most talked about figure in the GOP

is a bigoted, drug-addled, boy-humper with a national radio show. Rush Limbaugh also could not get elected.

And the THIRD most talked about figure in the GOP is an insane, paranoid, conspiracy crybaby with a radio show AND a TV show. Glenn Beck also could not get elected.

Joe, face it, Faux News has turned your party into celebrity-chasing bobble heads who would sooner spout talking points and rile up their racist followers than actually learn how to govern.

12. The article is 2 months old...

Looks like Palin either hasn't seen this in "all of them, any of them that have been in front of me" newspapers she claims to read or hasn't ordered her ghost writer to refudiate it.
