Another Self-Important Elitist Attacks Governor Palin

Apparently Governor Palin's timely entry into the debate offended the sensibilities of Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute. In an article in the Financial Times, Ornstein was asked to comment:

“The dollar has always been a testosterone issue among America’s political classes,” says Norm Ornstein, a veteran analyst at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. “This time there may be a legitimate debate to be had over the dollar’s reserve status, but Sarah Palin is not qualified to participate in it.”

Yet another person few have heard of grabs for the limelight by trashing Gov. Palin, how pathetic.

[liberlog]

The elites in the country (the political class), are in dire need of having their heads handed to them on a platter. Sara Palin has more sense than most of them.

[FlingWingFlyer]

With each personal attack the commie, limousine liberals show just how much they are afraid of Gov. Palin.

[SoCalPol]

Oh lookie what his claim to fame is

His greatest political influence may have come in writing substantial portions of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as the “McCain-Feingold” campaign finance bill passed in 2002

I agree with the guys at C4P. It amazes me that elites think they are so important, that they scoff anyone with some common sense taking about their field.

Economics requires common sense. Some might want to complicate it with confusing theories, but at the end of the day it requires common sense.

[SoCalPol]

He has really been busy

Since the establishment of Air America Radio, Ornstein has performed the bit with a wide variety of questions on The Al Franken Show. He also appeared on the March 7, 2006; April 24, 2006 and January 10, 2008 episodes of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central.

As Thomas Sowell said recently in a column, dumb people can only do so much damage. It takes really smart people to totally screw things up. (That is, people who think they are really smart.)

[GeronL]

I guess we should throw the AEI under the bus

[goodnesswins]

Another RINO outs himself!

[RichInOC]

Nor are most of the other likely presidential candidates on either side of the aisle. Certainly not the incumbent. What was the point?

[stevem]

I guess I’m not qualified either. Of course, all these smartest people anyone ever saw or hoped to see are driving this nation straight onto the ash heap of history, so the opinion of ANY of these clowns hardly matters.

[Finalapproach29er]

a testosterone issue
***
Another sexist reference by a lefty. What a surprise.

[Talisker]

NOKD - LOL!

Norman J. Ornstein is a political scientist and is a frequent contributor to The Washington Post.

His greatest political influence may have come in writing substantial portions of the "McCain-Feingold" campaign finance bill.

““This time there may be a legitimate debate to be had over the dollar’s reserve status, but Sarah Palin is not qualified to participate in it.””

Groan!
And 0bama is?

[SmokingJoe]

That would explain his crass stupidity.
Yet another Juan McCain zombie.

How disrespectfully accurate of you!

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[hinckley buzzard]

Norman Ornstein--what has he ever done besides nothing?

[hinckley buzzard]

Might as well, if all they can do is heave up ignorant jerkoffs like this schmuck.

[mickey finn]

Thanks Norm, I have one more reason to support Palin from a Washington, DC insider today, keep talking.

[Islander2]

<> I think he is not a RINO, but a LIBO who is in love with himself.

[meadsjn]

Norm who??? Apparently this nobody's only chance to be recognized by anyone other than his own buds inside his Ivy League bath house, is by trying to trash someone who really does have national recognition.

Thanks to clucks like this guy, the world is beginning to see the absolute negative value of these Ivy League retards.

[Gargantua]

Ornstein is a flaming gay with a more disturbing than usual anal fixation. He hates all women. I read it on the internet. He is qualified to discuss this point.

;-/

[cubreporter]

It’s OK. Sarah Palin has more courage and bravery in her little finger than all of the jerks who are AFRAID of her.

[SoCalPol]

Wonder how much he pays his wife to Judith L. Harris, a prominent regulation litigation lawyer to be his beard.

He is involved with more liberal democrat activities than anything else.

Just glad he is not a supporter of Sarah. With his background will probably again vote for Boma

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I never heard of this left-wing a$$hole.

[9YearLurker]

And the pundit with his PhD in poli-sci is more qualified to discuss the dollar?

[Moorings]

I have seen what the "hyper-qualified" individuals have done to trash the economy of this country. I think I am going to listen to the "unqualified" person for a change. Who knows, we might actually learn something.
