Sarah Palin slammed Sen. Thad Cochran, who won his Mississippi primary last night, for possible “shenanigans” such as courting Democrat votes and his moderate policies.

“Well, you know, as for the primary, and perhaps if it’s true, some shenanigans going on there, nothing should surprise you, but that’s old-school politics where it’s a bit of the status quo and that’s got to go,” Palin said Tuesday of Cochran’s Democrat outreach on Fox News’ “Hannity,” ahead of the Republican senator being declared the primary winner over Chris McDaniel.

Maybe we don’t start a third party. But if a Jeb Bush gets the GOPe nomination, I could see a run by an independent like Palin squeezing out a plurality.

There are more Cochran-like RINOs out there this primary season. They should be made to pay for the sins of the GOPe.

You heard right, but that’s not shenanigans or even walk around money. It’s just simple McCain/Barbour/GOP outreach.

Any doubts as to where those Black votes for Cochran are going in the general election. I think the democrat candidate, Childers, ( who is fairly conservative ) has a good chance against Cochran particularly if Tea Party resentment is still boiling.

Well, well, Palin can get weasel words in there, too! "Possible," "Shenanigans," "Status quo has got to go." Yes, Sarah me girl, we gotta get this country moving again.

Call me if any further, truisms, mild oaths and clichés are needed, will ya?

Good Grief. For all those who think “shenanigans” was too mild a word, and wish to take the opportunity to dump on Palin, look at the ‘date’ of this quote. This was directly right after the election, last week, before all the outlandishly vile activities came to light, and were widely reported.
