Karl Rove Swipes Sarah Palin For Leaving Office Mid-Term

KAHIL KAPUR 10:23 AM EDT, SUNDAY MARCH 17, 2013

On "Fox News Sunday," Karl Rove responded to Sarah Palin's declaration at CPAC that Republican consultants who "keep losing elections" need to either "buck up" and run for office or "stay in the truck."

Rove said that as a "balding white guy" he wouldn't be a particularly good candidate for office. But "if I did run for office and win, I'd serve out my term," he said. "I wouldn't leave office mid-term."

Palin stepped down as Alaska governor after half a term.

Having a nit wit as Governor has to be a bummer. I should know, I have Mary Fallin now. She could be Sarah Palin II. Plus, there was so much more *MONEY* out there for Palin as an author. Well, not an author, really, since she can't write.

Plus, it opened doors for her. Television commentator, which didn't last long because she's an idiot, but she got some mileage out of it because Faux News viewers are also idiots, so she was a good fit for a while.

In being selfish, Palin did a very unselfish thing for the people of Alaska. She resigned.

You may think you're a Mama grizzly but trashing Karl is a really bad idea.
He's an asshole but he's not totally, fucking stupid like you are. You are going to be a grizzly shish-ka-bob when he gets done with you:
(and I can hardly wait.. )

That's what he's doing.

Jeb Bush will be the nominee of the Republican Party unless the tea baggers, who don't like the Bushes, can stop it.

Fox, the Banks, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Defense Contractors all are in the tank with the Bushes and their government in waiting.
