PALIN: I call them dumbarses. They, thinking that by trotting out this old Gingrich divorce interview that’s old news — and it does feature a disgruntled ex, claiming that it would destroy his campaign — all it does, Sean, is incentive conservatives and independents who are so sick of the politics of personal destruction, because it’s played so selectively by media, that their target, in this case Newt, he’s now going to soar even more. Because we know the game now, and we just won’t put up with it.

So, good call media! Way to go to covertly hype this, even Gingrich opponents, for being so brilliant they sure are dumb.

1. Gingrich loses to Obama by a touchdown

Nominating Gingrich is a disaster for the republicans.

[monmouth]

2. I pretty much predicted this outcome in another post. n/t

[onenote]

3. Wow. Reading the quotes from Palin I was sure this was just a Tina Fey sketch. Seriously.

[DCKit]

6. Now you know why Tina Fey was so eager to retire her Palin character.

Also, why so many foreign news organizations couldn't tell the difference.

[WingDinger]

4. Problem is, your candidate wasnt vetted properly after being removed as speaker.

[Hugabear]

5. "Politics of personal destruction"

So says the party that ran the "Swift-boat" campaign against Kerry in 2004, and engaged in character assassination against Rev. Wright in 2008.

Spoken by the person who said nothing when one of her sycophants shouted "TERRORIST, KILL HIM!" regarding Obama at one of her rallies.

[Fuzz]

7. Let the eagles soar!

[countingbluecars]

8. Wow

I would like to see someone diagram that second sentence.

conservatives and independents
who are so sick
of the politics of personal destruction,

[countingbluecars]

21. Too funny! n/t

[la la]

12. i had the same exact thought! n/t

[yardwork]

10. Ok, so Obama has no personal infidelities to attack, so now the Republicans are fine with infidelity

If Obama had the hint of an affair in his history, the Republicans and their wholly-owned media would be wringing their little hands and sobbing about family values. But that's not a weakness they can exploit in Obama, so suddenly it's not a problem. Suddenly infidelity is none of the voters' business.

Hypocrisy so rank it is stunning. Is one-half the voting public THIS stupid?

Don't answer that.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. LOLZ!!!!

The Palin comments are a gem but the replies are simply hysterical!

[tanyev]

13. Yes. You keep telling yourself that, $arah.

Time to start picking out decor for your new office in the Gingrich administration, too. But I'd suggest you find a place that will let you put it on layaway.

[Aerows]

14. 'Kay

I'd rather have Newt vs. Obama for the fun it would provide instead of Romney vs. Obama, but it doesn't really matter either way.

Obama has it sealed if these two are his competitors. Newt. LOL.

[malaise]

16. And that batshit ignoramus what she thinks about Newt's tax problems

They haven't gone away

GOP Presidential contender Newt Gingrich attacked the "elite media" Wednesday for running "hit pieces" against him, even as tax and ethics experts were telling ABC News that the recent reports on a charity Gingrich founded have spawned serious questions about the former House Speaker's business and charity empire.

"I think he's in a world of trouble from a tax standpoint," said Marcus S. Owens, who ran the IRS Exempt Organizations Division for ten years, and who now works in private practice in Washington. "There are clearly enough questions there for the IRS to begin an investigation."

At issue are the activities of Gingrich's charity, Renewing American Leadership (ReAL), which was founded with a goal of promoting faith, freedom and free enterprise. The tax-exempt organization paid the salary of Gingrich's personal spokesman, bought Gingrich's books and DVDs, and provided Gingrich a copy of the fundraising list it spent more than $1 million to build. Over two years, ReAL made $220,000 in payments to Gingrich Communications, a for-profit business Gingrich owns.

Melanie Sloan, Executive Director of the good government group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said she found those activities troubling. "Charities should be engaged in demonstrably charitable purposes," Sloan told ABC News. "Here, given that ReAL hasn't done anything other than send out fundraising appeals, creating a mailing list for Mr. Gingrich to use to contact his supporters, it appears the major, if not sole purpose of the group is to further his political ambitions."

17. I would like to incentive Mrs. Palin to

put a sock in it, even if incentive can only masquerade as a verb and will not ever truly be one.

[DCBob]

18. Spoken by a true "dumbarse".

Im not sure the Grinch really wants this womans help.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

19. "all it does, Sean, is incentive conservatives and independents...."

This woman is a college graduate? Bullshit.

[gratuitous]

20. Newt will soar, or Newt will be sore?

Lord, that woman's an idiot.
