“Begala call Palin ‘about half a whack job’.”

There he goes, chanelling Mr. Alinsky. (One wonders if Mr. Begala is as macho as Mr. Alinsky was; and, would Mr. Begala say that same thing to Mrs. Palin with Mr. Palin present in a place where honor was the way of life and there were no lawyers to sue the loser?)

IMHO

Begala just wishes he were with a woman half as hot as Sarah.

Typical Liberal Male: lacks self-confidence, has lingering hang-ups from High School against attractive women.

[Always Right]

I would pit Sarah Baracuda against President Teleprompter any day of the week.

[Liberty Valance]

Don't be too hard on Begala, he's an award winner!

Ya know, with that FOREHEAD, you’d think there might be a brain in there.

What do you ‘spose he DOES store in there?

[Dallas59]

Is Begala governor of anything?

[Logical me]

Palin is getting to the liberal nut cases. Good for her. Someone, who is a real conservative, has down to Earth common sense is finally got the, so to speak “gonads”, to put the RATS on the toilet.

[wardaddy]

Isn’t Begala a real teabagger?

besides his day is over

Who gives a sh*t what Paul Begala says, I sure as hell don’t and I believe Sarah doesn’t either.

On O’Reilly last night Laura Ingram (guest hosting) had republican and dem strategists on. She asked them about Palin’s effectivness with her facebook comments about “death” and the dem only attacked her personally and said that was all she was doing as a lightweight and “knownothing” he was unable to show how her comments could ‘not’ be true, either literally or eventually. And when Laura called him on the adhomin attacks, he denied just saying them while adding to them.

That was Matthew Litman, a former Obama team member. Wasn't it the most revealing interview? I had seen this Litman guy on in the past, and while I disagreed with him nearly always, he seemed polite and articulate.

Then mention 'Palin' and all of that goes away. Almost instantly he turned petulant, snippy and inarticulate and his face distorted into a scowl. It was as if he could not comprehend that anyone could take Sarah Palin seriously --- that was written all over his face, despite the fact that 47% of the electorate voted for a ticket with her name on it.

Like the H1N1 virus is supposed to do, Bush Derangement Syndrome has also mutated. It is now Palin Deragement Syndrome! Blind, unthinking hatred.

What a dumb ass..bring in the clowns and you will get a circus..the whole democrat party are nothing but a bunch of ugly clowns.. Compare the two and see who looks more like a wack job.Bagala looks like a blow fish his eyes are so scary.He is a pathetic excuse for a man..or is he..a man.

[calling her “flaky and an intellectual lightweight.” ]

I do a lot of writing. When I read Palin’s opinion pieces, they ring very clearly with well written prose.

I don’t think the left will be able to sell this “flaky intelllectual lightweight” stuff once Palin does her book.

[Wolfie]

I think you’ll be seeing this a lot from BOTH sides of the aisle in the coming months/years. The elite don’t want Palin anywhere near a serious run for office.

Begala Facts:



Paul Begala, along with business partner James Carville, helped then-governor of Arkansas Clinton win the 1992 presidential election. After working on Clinton's campaign, Begala served as a consultant to the President. As an aide to the President, Begala helped defend the Clinton-Gore agenda and served as a public spokesperson.

As an author and co-author, Begala has written a handful of bestselling political books. His writings include: Is Our Children Learning?: The Case Against George W. Bush; Buck Up, Suck Up and Come Back When You Foul Up; and It's Still the Economy Stupid.

He was an early supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primaries. However, after she dropped out of the race, he became a strong backer of Barack Obama.

On September 25, 2008, while appearing on CNN, Begala characterized George W. Bush as "a high-functioning moron."

Begala was also a paid consultant to mortgage lender Freddie Mac, an arrangement that ended in September 2008.

Paul Begala: A true weak-kneed liberal sissy boy.

Although Begala called Gingrich "a brilliant political strategist,"

If Begala is praising you, it should be time to re-examine what you are doing, Newt.

But he said Palin needs to be more aggressive in opposing the president's policies. At this point, Jeffrey said, "I think it's not proven" she can go toe-to-toe with President Obama.

Say WHAT? With one Twitter post about Death Panels, Palin forced the Dems to rip that language right out of the draft legislation. These idiots need to get outside the Beltway more often. And hopefully a Palin win in 2012 will facilitate that - get 'em out of DC.

[sionnsar]

Begala would know all about whack jobs — from the inside.

[billva]

Since he’s a total whack job I don’t really care what he thinks.
