Jack Cafferty: 'Is Sarah Palin's 15 Minutes of Fame Over?'

On Friday's Situation Room, CNN's Jack Cafferty asked, "Is Sarah Palin's 15 minutes of fame over?" As you can see, Jack seems very anxious for Palin to become a has been of little consequence in this election:

Funny how a stock market crash, the failure of a few big investment banks will distract Americans from the flavor of the day. There doesn't seem to be the burning interest in who makes Sarah Palin's glasses that there was a few days ago. Former White House advisor and Republican strategist Karl Rove told the Associated Press this week that the Palin phenomenon will fade between now and the election, and that may be already happening.

It looks like Sarah Palin gets under Snarlin' Jack's skin bigtime.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Little Jackie is a sexist. He despises strong women. They scare him to death.

[freebilly]

Hmmm..., 60,000 people attend a Palin rally in Florida. Guess that would make her last weeks’s news....

[Blogger]

sounds like a catty jealous queen

[AmericanMade1776]

Who the hell is Jack Cafferty?

[anniegetyourgun]

They decide what they’ll cover and then make the lack of their coverage of her their story? LOL....media flacks...

[svcw]

Yea, I guess that’s why the crowds she garners are down to tens of thousands.

[gop4lyf]

Ask the 60,000+ people she spoke to today if her time is up. It has not yet begun you loser! (Apologies to John Paul Jones)

[popdonnelly]

Does this guy ever shut up?

[baiamonte]

What’s a Jack Cafferty?

[Numbers Guy]

The issue of Palin may well fade. That isn’t too relevant — her impact on the race, getting McCain right back into the thick of things poll-wise, isn’t going to fade. And while Cafferty may take solace in the former, it’s the latter that matters — she’s energized the Republican base and a lot of this election will be about turnout.

[Miss Didi]

Sorry, Jack...



PALIN DRAWS CROWD OF 60,000 IN FLORIDA

[pgkdan]

Right Cafferty, you ass. Tell that to teh 60,000 folks who showed up for hwer today in FL.

[Sun]

Palin is STILL drawing large, enthusiastic crowds!

“Palin draws crowd of 60,000 in The Villages”

http://news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080921/NEWS0107/80921022

Gov. Palin is a rock star, and unlike Obama a rock star with SUBSTANCE!!

[Rome2000]

Who the hell is Jack Cafferty?

Some leftist retard from NYC.

[pgkdan]

Right Cafferty, you ass. Tell that to the 60,000 folks who showed up for her today in FL.

[Sweet Hour of Prayer]

How many people attended Palin’s speech in Florida? 60,000?

[devere]

I’d say a crowd of 60,000 is pretty good. Sarah’s 15 minutes of fame might extend for about 12-16 years

[Rodm]

Palin draws 75,000 in Florida. The enthusiasm is contagious! Palin’s fame continues to grow and Obama is going to fade.

a waste of bandwidth

From the Article: Former White House advisor and Republican strategist Karl Rove told the Associated Press this week that the Palin phenomenon will fade between now and the election, and that may be already happening.

Know some people on here think he is a genius but he is sounding more and more like sour grapes. Just who is he wanting to win in November? Personally don't think 2000 and 2004 should not have been close and 2006, Rove helped cost us the House and Senate which he also didn't seem to mind. With so called 'friends' in the media like Rove, who needs enemies.

[Miss Didi]

Except for when he blasted Alan Colmes the other night, Karl has had a few sour grapes moments lately.

[blondee123]

Here you go Commie News Network mouth:

1. She's beautiful

2. She's the freshest thing to hit the political scene in years

3. She's articulate & smart

4. She IS the face of the Republican party!

5. She is strong & confident

6. You only wish her 15 mins of fame would end! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

[river rat]

Sorry Jack — but this lady is your worst nightmare.

If she gets power — and she’s “for real”, it will be hard times ahead for the Federal leaches and their leacherous dependents.

[jpf]

Let's do our own poll;

Is Jack Cafferty’s years of stealing money from CNN going to over soon?

[TC Rider]

Larry King was pumping the same meme two nights ago.

[phill413]

The MSM wants her to fade away, but it’s not going to happen. Her draw is contagious. Go Sarah!

[padre35]

Jack Cafferty needs a microphone with a breathalyzer built into it...

Or was that a nebulyzer ala Obama?

LOL!!!

[Hattie]

Well Jack, her 15 minutes is still going at the Villages in FL today.

[ncalburt]

Jack is well known for two things
1. Getting fired from ABC radio for drinking on the job
2. Charged with a hit and run of a bike courier in Manhattan. Also ONN's ( formerly CNN) Ricky Sanchez has a similar rap sheet involving a DUI and hit & Run in front of Dolphin stadium after a game.

[SevenofNine]

Is that guy that is just Wolfie Blitzer little b***h?

HE STILL ON THE AIR?

[PhiKapMom]

Have been noticing the sour grapes more and more — not very flattering either.

Gov Palin has sure made some Republicans might uncomfortable. It is like they don’t want Sarah to have a crack at DC to help clean up the mess.

Personally I love watching them squirm and make themselves into pretzels with their comments.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Karl Rove can go and pound sand. The thought of eight years of allowing the Dems and MSM to undermine Bush's credibility by attacking his integrity will make my blood boil ‘till my last breath. He has been a big failure when the bigger picture is examined.

My sentiments exactly! I think he did a very poor job as an advisor.

[elizabetty]

“15 minutes of fame” is for nobodies who do something stupid to get attention. She is the candidate for Vice President of the United States and deserves a little respect, Jack-Ass.

[zwerni]

please don’t put down retards

[tanuki]

As long as it ‘fades out’ sometime past Nov. 4th, I couldn’t care less.

[ari-freedom]

funny how he’s still obsessed over a person he thinks is irrelevant

[relee]

Jack, who?

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

A message for Jack:

(please note, keep children out of the room)

[Liberty Valance]

They still don’t get it. ;o)

[Tweeker]

and all the inquiries in Alaska yielding no poison fruit for Jack to sink his teeth into.

[ncalburt]

Notice how the former Bushes and Reaganites all stab the Rep party in the back in order to be liked by the DNC-Obama media ? Lets go down the list Peggy Noonan, Dan Bartlett, Scottie McCellum , David Gergen, etc ... while the Carter, Clinton hack are still rattling off the DNC-Obama talking points on a daily basis!

Rove is a great organizer and statistician but tone deaf to the Repub base. The immigration bill, prescription drugs bill , and Harriet Myers mess have his finger prints all over them. The 2004 election was won by the Swiftboat Vets that told the truth not Rove . In 2006, they waited to can Rummy until after the election.The dumb he handled that Scouter Libby scam .

[Tanniker Smith]

Who the hell is Jack Cafferty?

I don't know. didn't he used to sing with the Beaver Brown Band and they did a cover of that Eddie & the Cruisers song....

[Political Junkie Too]

Is he making a wish?

[IL1949]

Her debate with Biden could relight the fire.

I saw the vid of her in the Villages today. Huge crowd but I’d give her a B- on performance. A little flat. No guffaws that I picked up on, but certainly not as sharp as the edge of a skinning knife.

Course, she’s probably a little pooped and she was wearing a jacket in that 95 degree heat and humidity. LORDY!

[Theo]

A “stock market crash, the failure of a few big investment banks will distract Americans from” ... just about anything.

[PhiKapMom]

Very well said! You have nailed it! It is so disgusting to watch these loudmouths on TV that I now turn them off as fast as I do the Dems.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Uh, NO.

We’ll keep her around just to get under your skin, worthless idiot.

[denydenydeny]

It looks like Sarah Palin gets under Snarlin' Jack's skin bigtime.

I think it's more than that. Cafferty always seems to be out front with the big talking point of the week. Last week it was "If you oppose Obama, you're racist" which was repeated all week in soundbites from Obama surrogates.

It would not surprise me at all if we hear this exact "15 minutes" line over and over again this week.
