'She's like Sanjayah': Why won't Sarah Palin go away?

On MSNBC this afternoon Chris Kofinis delivers the whammy on Sarah Palin and how she actually is a gift who keeps on giving to Democrats:

Kofinis: Sarah Palin is like that crazy relative who comes over and doesn't want to leave. She just seemingly does not want to leave the limelight. You know, maybe a better way to put it, one of my friends said, 'You know, she's like Sanjayah from American Idol. When is the fifteen minutes gonna be up?'

Of course, Republican strategist Ron Christie gives us the answer -- to wit, the wingnut core of the Republican Party sees her as their once and future leader, when Kofinis observes that "voters decided on Tuesday" that Palin wasn't qualified:

Christie: Voters did not decide that on Tuesday. It was a very close election. I mean -- 52 percent, you can't say that he had a mandate. The Republican Party needs to attract more people like Governor Palin, who are outside of the Beltway, who hold firm conservative values.

... I think the United States of America is still a center-right country. It is not a center-left country, despite what Chris Kofinis might think. This is still a very conservative country, a very pro-family country, pro-religion, pro-country -- that's where Sarah Palin. What the Republicans failed to do -- and this is why we lost -- we failed to articulate a message of why we were the party for limited government, small taxes, and keeping government out of our sights, and that's why we lost.

Kofinis: With all due respect, if that's -- I keep hearing this from Republicans. I hope you keep doing this. You keep talking about going back to conservative principles. You keep talking about going back to Reagan. If that's the strategy or philosophy that you think is gonna resurrect the Republican Party, I suggest putting Dr. Kevorkian as the head of the RNC, because it's a suicide mission. It will not succeed. Personally, I love it.

Christie winds up by promising to "smoke you guys in the next election." 'Tis good for a low mordant chortle or two.

1. Sarah Sanjayah

but at least he was sorta cute.

[Hersheygirl]

48. I howled with laughter

when he said she wasn't the problem but McCain was the problem.

[mediaman007]

2. He's saying that they didn't create enough fear this time.

We need to educate people. If we don't use the Obama presidency to develop an understanding of progressive issues, the Republicans will just up the ante next time.

[votetastic]

23. The fear card will be more difficult next time...

after everyone realizes that Obama won't force them all to convert to Islam

[Sarah Ibarruri]

3. Yeah right. They're a bunch of closet perverts. When have they ever had values? nt

[DJ13]

4. I guess those GOP idiots think they just werent conservative enough

:rofl:

[ShadowLiberal]

27. Which is why we won so many senate seats in 4 years, running moderates

I'd gladly face an army of ultra conservatives, keep on coming republicans, the more conservative the better. :)

I mean your last ultra conservatives you chose over moderates, like Gilmore in Virginia, and I forget his name in New Mexico, got murdered in the general election! Of course that obviously means that the people were pissed off you didn't offer them an even bigger firebrand conservative!

I love watching the republicans keep suggesting they run more candidates who conservatives, like those who already vote for republicans, will love, completely ignoring the independent moderates.

The moment a party moves too far off into one extreme end of the political spectrum they doom themselves to failure, it works every time.

[Lugnut]

39. I hope they never figure it out.

I watched that segment this afternoon. Kofinis couldn't stop laughing and Christie got increasingly defensive. It was priceless.

[racaulk]

5. .

[thenext8seconds]

6. Yeah this Ron Christie guy is just an idiot.

He's that cross-eyed black republican strategist no? I rest my case.

[thenext8seconds]

7. Seriously, I hope they run Sarah Palin as the saviour of the GOP in four years. It will fail and

Obama will just win by even more than he did her and McCain

[Abacus]

8. 53.3%, significantly more than Bush's 51.2%

If Bush had a mandate, we've got an edict.

[GoesTo11]

46. 53-46 is not 52-48. Plus

when about 90% of white voters in many southern states (AL, MS, AR, LA, TN, KY) voted for McCain, it means everyone but Confederacy diehards went about 60-40 for Obama. The Rs got their little enclave of white racism and old pickup trucks on bricks in the front yard. The rest of the country was landslide D (my apologies to any of you more sophisticated of the 90% of white Alabama voters who voted for McCain but do not have a truck on bricks).

[VADem11]

9. I hate Christie

Yeah, a seven point win and 365 electoral votes is a fucking mandate Ron. And let's not forget to mention that we gained 22 seats in the House and at least 6 in the Senate. The Republicans were falling all over themselves to claim that Bush got a mandate in 2004.

The Republican party in Virginia has repeatedly tried to implement a strategy of being more conservative and it has only resulted in them losing the state senate, both U.S. senate seats, three congressional seats and the governorship twice in a row. I hope the national party follows suit.

[graywarrior]

10. I want to slap him everytime I see him

What an annoying little man he is

[firedupdem]

11. Christie is a fucking nut. I could never be near him in an interview..

I really think I would lose it and hit him.

[JohnnyRingo]

12. Screw that 52%, states changed from red to blue.

That's the election number that Christy should be concerned with.

I don't think that means we're staying to the right. It also isn't a sign that you're "not getting your message out".

It means it's been rejected.

[burythehatchet]

13. How's these two heads as a set of bookends?

[pdxmom]

14. Pro-family, pro-country...these are exclusively the provinence of

the Repukes? That shows they don't get it. That is the type of crap that cost them the election. As for pro-religion...well, they also proved in this election that they are only pro-religion if it's the "right" religion.

I think the public is seeing all the problems out there, and the only one trying to deal with them is Obama. The Repukes seem to only be focusing on the next election.

[Left Is Write]

21. Yeah. "Pro-family" apparently doesn't apply if your family has two moms or two dads...

and "pro-religion" apparently doesn't apply if your religion is anything other than conservative Christian.

[BlueIdaho]

15. Hmmm... that cross eyed bastard has bee right about so many other things lately...

I'm sure he must be right about this too - not.

[bullimiami]

16. if we can get the corruption out of the voting system the pukes will remain a minority

for at least a generation.

[Monk06]

17. So Ron thinks that the country is center right? Well I have news for you Sarah is not center right

She's a dominionist demagogue who lusts
for the power and money in Washington.

Her publicity campaign at the NRC so soon
after the election is proof that she will
not be content until she gets the nomination
in 2012 by guile or intimidation.

[Liberal Gramma]

18. First they're going to have to stop smoking whatever it is they're smoking now

He is delusional. Center right country? No mandate?

[Stellabella]

19. "Values"??? What 'values'???

Judgement, hate, bigotry, selfishness, greed, cruelty, stupidity, ignorance - those are the only repuke 'values' I know of.

[Danger Mouse]

20. Christie, you asshat, one of the reasons Palin lost is because of how far to the damn right she is.

She's not 'center right,' she's in 'Fascist' territory, politically.

[falcon97]

35. ROFLMAO!!

Good point!

:rofl:

[Skittles]

22. I see your values and raise you a big FUCK YOU

Americans are increasingly sick of the politics of ignorance, hatred and fear

[Drunken Irishman]

24. I'm sure he's daydreaming of smoking Obama.

:o

[FVZA_Colonel]

25. Does this moron believe Bush had a mandate in 2004?

[4lbs]

26. The GOP got blasted in the 2006 and 2008 elections for being so narrow-minded on the issues.

They think that religion, abortion, and taxes are all people care about.

When the focus is jobs, health care, the environment, and privacy, they don't have anything to offer.

[SeattleGirl]

28. Ron hasn't figured out that the game has changed.

He and a lot of other GOPer's think they can keep doing the same things again and again and win.

Guess they learned nothing from '06, and especially from '08.

[ShadowLiberal]

29. Sure bring on Palin in 2012, she was a bigger drag on McCain then Quayle was to Bush!

Seriously, it's really saying something if you're an even worse vice president pick then Dan Quayle.

[democracy1st]

30. How ironic a gay spokesman for a anti gay party

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. Ron Christie an Aide to Vice President Cheney compared his service to a VET

On this evening’s Hardball, Ron Christie, a former aide to Vice President Cheney, equated his work in the White House to serving in Iraq. While debating Iraq war veteran Jon Soltz, Christie said to Soltz, “I am pleased and honored by the fact that you chose to wear the uniform of this country, but I also chose to serve this country, and I’ve been involved in public service serving the United States and the American people.” “Unlike you Jon,” he continued, “I’ve actually sat in the Oval Office.”

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/04/service-to-cheney-is-like-serving-in-iraq/

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

31. Ron, your guys got stomped by a giant wearing golf shoes.

Trounced, thrashed, beaten like a fucking gong AND a rented mule. What does it take to blast through that thick skull of yours? Can you read or understand analyses of demographic trends?

[DU GrovelBot]

[Norrin Radd]

34. Center-right, center-right, center-right, "ad infinitum."

Do they honestly believe that we haven't noticed how hard they are pushing this meme, that they all received the same memo recently?

[Earth Bound Misfit]

36. "I suggest putting Dr. Kevorkian as the head of the RNC...

because it's a suicide mission. It will not succeed."

:rofl:

[and-justice-for-all]

41. That was brilliant...

I hope the RNC continues to be pummeled until 2020.

[SoCalDemGrrl]

37. Bring It On!!

[Erin Elizabeth]

38. Yes, yes, yes!

Go further right, FURTHER, no, just a little bit further, keep going, right, right, right, no keep moving further to the right. Doesn't matter that we can't see you anymore, WE CAN STILL FEEL YOUR "VALUES." CAN YOU HEAR ME? OK KEEP MOVING MORE TO THE RIGHT. YEAH, EVEN FURTHER. NOW MAYBE SOME MORE. AND SOME MORE.




Fantastic, they fell right the hell off the map! Now let's get to work.

[and-justice-for-all]

40. HAHAHAHAHA!!! CLOSE ELECTION!!!! YEAH RIGHT!

McCrypt got steam rolled! what a fuckwit!

I wll do what ever I can keep repukes out of the White House and that they remain the minority party.

"we failed to articulate a message of why we were the party for limited government, small taxes, and keeping government out of our sights, and that's why we lost." Really, in the last 8 years, that seemed to fail and rather miserably I might add. The Government has a responsibility to us and it is to be seen and heard as well as yelled at for doing stupid shit.

There is no going back....The progress, I hope the Obama/Biden administration makes, will be concrete by 2012.

rememeber kids: republicans are Social Dominist, Authoritarian protofascist. DO NOT, EVER, give them any more control of our Government.

[Lumpsum]

42. Ron Christie is a cross-eyed dumbfuck. nt

[annabanana]

43. Sure. . .hook to the RIGHT you guys... Your candidates will be

HOWLING AT THE MOON pretty soon. I'm sure the electorate can't wait to get ahold of some of THAT kind of vision!

[1Hippiechick]

44. ron's jockeying for a key position in Palin's run - putting ALL his eggs in her basket - risky. n/t

[Vinca]

45. I always thought Ron Christie was intelligent although extremely annoying.

After he expressed his undying devotion to the geographically-challenged Sarah, I realized he's just annoying.

[calico1]

47. I think Ron Christie got beat up in school when

he was a kid.

[youthere]

49. No..people liked Sanjaya.
