She's right about Karl Rove.

She’s right about Karl Rove.

Damn right she it. He was touting ROMNEY....AGAIN on Hannity this afternoon. I wanted to PUKE.

[Politics4US]

Good for her

[Retired Greyhound]

and Palin is known for rewarding loyalists, and punishing her detractors.

What a load. No bias there.

[YoungHickey]

"I paid her for two years to make this announcement on my network."

Now now, is that in the contract or was it just implied?

[freespirited]

TV people are genuinely obsessed with this sort of thing. As if the rest of us remember who got which scoop first.

[mrsmith]

The media is begging for “most misleading headline” awards...

[thatdewd]

Karl, bless his heart, is still somewhat the cocktail-Party Republican’s ever vigilant Cerberus. One needs no better proof of true Conservative values than his disdain.

[Magic Fingers]

“As if the rest of us remember who got which scoop first.”

I’m sure most people on this forum do.

[turfmann]

I agree.

Rove and Ailes, as far as I am concerned, can engage themselves in self-fortification.

[who knows what evil?]

She ought to avoid Hannity like the plague, as well...he and Rove should get a room.

[Josh Painter]

Those anonymous sources sure do get around, don’t they?

[parksstp]

yes, she’s right.

I don’t know about her endorsing anyone for 2012 until after the contest has been effectively decided. Not that that wouldn’t help the candidate (it would), but I’m sure the MSM would have a pile of stories ready to go on that candidate to release at the same time and make Palin look dumb. This is why I believe she didn’t jump out and endorse Cain when he first shot up in the polls. She’s waiting to see who handles the media firestorm first.

[Keith in Iowa]

She should do what she needs to do to be released from her contract... tell FoxNews to suck it.

[TomServo]

self-fortification..

Huh?

[Happy Rain]

I heard that! It was so bizarre.

Rove was bashing New and Cain like Hell and then started talking up Mitt like he was God's better half.

Hannity confronted him with,”Sounds like you are for Romney.”
then Rove started huffing and puffing in loud pathetic mendacious denial:
“Oh no,nothing like that!! I was just...sorta...kinda...bow wow woof woof!”

[Col Freeper]

Hmmmm, who will it be, who will it be?

[MeganC]

Okay, let me toss this out there: Does Karl Rove strike anyone else as a closeted gay? I’m not saying he is, mind you, just that I don’t get a straight-guy vibe from him and I never have.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep!!

[backwoods-engineer]

Ailes was so mad, he considered pulling her off the air entirely until her $1 million annual contract expires in 2013.

I wish he would have. Every time Palin turns up on Fox News, her supporters are reminded of how she screwed up by not running.
