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.

For a guy, whose appearance was made fun of; perfect hair, etc, to play on other people’s appearance is pretty dumb.

Hey Mitt, don’t hate her because she’s beautiful :)

[Logical me]

I would be a little more careful with the crap. You seem to forgot that Romney captured millions of voters. Alienating these voters is really stupid and shows your ignorance. Romney will not run, but we need voters that are not told they were stupid.

Mitt’s just mad Sarah is more a man than he is. And more of a conservative too.

"Romney is a horse’s ass."

Seconded, and asks the Chair to call for quorum on voice vote.

Some of the most beautiful souls in the world have bodies with plug ugly faces.

Yeah? He was running 3rd to Duncan Hunter and Fred as I recall.

One of these candidates has a wonderful, sincere, reciprocal relationship with the NRA, one of them only has one son to offer to military service, only one of them actually owns a gun (regardless of one of them lying about it until forced to confess) and one of them is a life time hunter (again, regardless of one of them lying about it until forced to confess) Only one of these candidates seems to have emerged from a metro sexual pod colony.

I think CYTD has a bit of a chip on the shoulder for Mormons. Wonder why....

Exactly! They intentionally ignore the 10’s of thousands that came out for her talks on the stump all over the country!

Funny thread, that one.

I guess Mitt really must be a RINO if he’s afraid of her.
