Rove: Palin Endorsement “Not Worth Snot” For Gingrich
Buzzfeed ^ | 3-7-12 | Miller

Posted on 03/07/2012 1:27:19 PM PST by VinL

Karl Rove mockingly dismissed the value of Sarah and Todd Palin's endorsements on a private conference call today, noting that their backing of Newt Gingrich in Alaska "demonstrated that endorsements don’t mean snot."

BuzzFeed obtained the dial-in information for the conference call with Barclays Capital clients and employees, in which Rove outlined the state of the Republican race for the presidency and the path forward for the candidates.

It’s no secret that Rove, who orchestrated President George W. Bush’s presidential wins, is no fan of the Palins, and has repeatedly sparred over with the former Alaska Governor since she entered the national political scene in 2008.

Rove criticized Palin for being hyper-sensitive to criticism last year, saying she’d need to get a “a slightly thicker skin” if she wanted to run for president. In 2008 he called her selection as John McCain's running mate a political decision, as opposed to a decision to be best prepared to govern.

Rove also said on the call that he expects Democrats to hold the Senate, and that Newt Gingrich is on the brink of becoming "irrelevant" to the presidential race.

Karl Rove is our cross to bear, a narcissist with an exagerrated view of his own intellect and a man who would sell out his mother for the right price. Can’t stand the guy.

Speaking of snot, how is Karl Rove? I can’t even read about his ramblings.

Imagine this cretin getting paid for his opinion by corporate business interests.

Some “Republican”—he already thinks the Senate will stay Dem.

God forbid he’ll lift his finger to not make one of “predictions” wrong!

Rove is everything that is wrong with the Republican party.

He is a political slut.

Now. mor ethan ever, I want Newt to win.

Imagine a world where no one shives a git for Tokyo Rove’s opinion.

I would enjoy watching Sarah beating the snot, physically beating the snot with her bare hands - which she easily could, out of Triple-Chins Rove and finish it off by holding him upside down by his ankles over a toilet to give his comb-over a swirley.

Funny, I was just remarking that every time I hear the word ‘snot’ I think of Karl Rove.

But I also think of Rove whenever I hear the other S-word.

It’s a trick of perspective. The low angle shot from the front hides the banner behind their torsos.

The lower pic has several MA State legislators standing behind Romney/Kennedy/whomever; the top photo is just the few. Don’t know if they would conceal the banner.

Hard to imagine you could get quite the same facial expressions from the men at the same time.

Yes, surely you are correct. Though it isn’t obvious, if the bottom pic zoomed out, the banner would be visible on the left.

One thing that is obvious from the pic...POSTURING POLITICIANS.
