Romney Suggests Palin 'Beautiful,' Not Influential

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney joked about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s place on Time’s list of influential people, saying, “But was that the issue on the most beautiful people or the most influential people?”

In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” broadcast Sunday, Romney was responding to a question from the moderator as to whether Time’s inclusion of Palin and talk show host Rush Limbaugh on their list of “The World’s Most Influential People” was a positive or negative thing for the Republican Party.

Romney added, “I think there are a lot more influential Republicans than that would suggest.”

After his boss caught flak for his apparent dissing of Palin, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom spun the comment as just “a self-deprecating joke as to why there weren’t more Republicans on the list,” according to a report in Politico.

“I think there are 100 influential Republicans alone who have tremendous ideas and I hope that we can all work together to accomplish what we believe is best for America,” Palin said through a spokeswoman.

I’ve clipped mine with a set of electric clippers set to 1/4” for the past 45 years, haven’t been in a barber shop that entire time. I don’t own a brush or comb.

Fellas, if it wasn’t meant to be an insult would Governor Palin have rushed out this scathing 34 second video in response?

What!!! Another PIMP-Romney thread? What a surprise. NOT.

"It's agreed, then. Our agents, helpers, their spouses and their contacts in the MSM,
will attack Gov. Palin to help both Obama and us."

"Romney Disses Palin Again - This Time by Proxy"
"Who's Mike Murphy? He's a Romney guy!
He's hated Palin from Day One...when she was announced as McCain's VP nominee,
he was the jerkwad on the air with Peggy Noonan when she made her infamous hot-mike disparaging remarks about Palin...
nd he himself was calling the Palin choice "gimmicky" and "cynical."
They never gave Palin a chance.
They had contempt for her and for the ordinary Americans she represents."

"Murphy is a Romney hack.
Although he worked for McCain in 2000, he switched to help Romney for the 2008 race.
He now works for Palin-deranged MSNBC as a token Republican."

Poor sport spoiler Romney attacks other GOP candidatesn:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

You have a nice way of mixing up apples and oranges into an unrecognizable fruit cocktail.

When did I ever suggest FR purge Sarah supporters? Fred Supporters? Or for that matter Paul or Mitt or Mccain or Rudy supporters. Never did. Never would.

Now don’t get your panties in a twist because I’m not a Palin supporter. I don’t need to extend any courtesy to Fred or Sarah or anyone running. They, on the other hand need to earn my vote.

[pissant]

It’s entertaining. At least to me, anyway.

[Arizona Carolyn]

They advertised it as a listening tour, but what I’ve heard out of it was a lecture tour to tell us what THEY think we should believe. One kid put it in clear terms to Jebb and he punted big time...

[Arizona Carolyn]

Did you read the transcript? It read like a complete dis to me.

[Diogenesis]

It was a dig. And you, mbraynard, are despicable.

FLASHBACK
mbraynard (antiPalin RomneyBOT): "Really? I think the exact same thing about Palin, R-Retard.
An individual should be able to complete a few sentences in a row without a grammatical abortion before running for president, no?"

Oh yeah??????? Palin has decreased spending in Alaska 16.7% over her Republican predecessor. She saved Alaska’s surplus from the good times when people were trying to convince her to spend it. Show me anyone who has done the same thing lately?

[Sola Veritas]

“Palin is the only person that will keep Romney from the nomination. It will be a war.”

Then Romney will lose. He needs to gracefully shut up and disappear.

[Servant of the Cross]

LOL. Thou doth protest too much (and my ‘panties’ are fine thank you).

[StAnDeliver]

"King Obama winning another election. That is how he won the last one..."

He won the last one by raising half a billion dollars.

And as some wise old guy on Fox noted at the same time, it will take a billion dollars to unseat Barry in 2012. It can be done.

[Diogenesis]

As Gov of Massachusetts, Romney raised taxes on Mass. residents
calling them 'fees' and raised them on New Hampshire residents, too!!!!!

How Romney is that?

[bmwcyle]

The elite can go take a flying F...

[Arizona Carolyn]

Don’t forget the nationalized form or healthcare he left the good people of MA when he left office..... he basically cloned Hillarycare and it’s bankrupting MA.

"Have you seen the Sarah Palin tribute rifle in .50 Beowolf....?"

[pissant]

Not my problem if you mix me up not supporting a candidate with calls for purging their supporters. Apples, oranges.

[pissant]

Join her campaign then.
