SURPRISE MUTHERFUCKERS!!!!! AND A BIG WHOOPS TO PEGGY NOONAN AND MIKE MURPHY

Two top Republican pundits, Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy, were just on MSNBC with Chuck Todd, and after their segment was over kept talking about McCain VP pick Sarah Palin. But their mics were still on. Oh my God. Everything we've suspected is true. The GOP is flipped out over this pick. Maybe the evangelical base is happy - maybe - but core Republicans, core conservatives, appears to be apoplectic and demoralized. Noonan was Reagan's most famous speech writer. She's no lightweight in the party, and she's no sexist. Here's the video, and the transcript is below.



Here's the transcript, courtesy of TPM:

 Quote:
CHUCK TODD: Mike Murphy, lots of free advice, we'll see if Steve Schmidt and the boys were watching. We'll find out on your blackberry. Tonight voters will get their chance to hear from Sarah Palin and she will get the chance to show voters she's the right woman for the job Up next, one man who's already convinced and he'll us why Gov. Jon Huntsman.
(cut away)

PEGGY NOONAN: Yeah.

MIKE MURPHY: You know, because I come out of the blue swing state governor world: Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. I mean, these guys -- this is how you win a Texas race, just run it up. And it's not gonna work. And --

PEGGY NOONAN: It's over.

MIKE MURPHY: Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.

CHUCK TODD: I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too.

PEGGY NOONAN: Saw Kay this morning.

CHUCK TODD: Yeah, she's never looked comfortable about this --

MIKE MURPHY: They're all bummed out.

CHUCK TODD: Yeah, I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?

PEGGY NOONAN: The most qualified? No! I think they went for this -- excuse me-- political bullshit about narratives --

CHUCK TODD: Yeah they went to a narrative.

MIKE MURPHY: I totally agree.

PEGGY NOONAN: Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.

MIKE MURPHY: You know what's really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.

CHUCK TODD: This is cynical, and as you called it, gimmicky.

MIKE MURPHY: Yeah.


Tlk about message discipline.


also.... (yes, it's never ending; the Palin vetting)

Sarah Palin claimed her son is deploying to Iraq on September 11 of this year. It turns out he's not deploying on that date. So Palin either lied, or she thought he was deploying on that date, and in that case, she divulged information that's a violation of Operational Security (OPSEC) and illegal, according to Jon Soltz, Iraq vet and a member of VoteVets. Funny that someone living so close to Russia doesn't know the rules about deploying our forces in the Middle East. Then again, perhaps they didn't cover that one yet in her "my first vice president" crash course the McCain campaign is reportedly giving her.

Just tought i'd take the time to laugh at the GOP's Presiential chances now.

I'll stop by again as time allows and provide you guys with updates that you might not catch on FOX News.

Cheers. \:\)
