Sarah Palin takes shot at Karl Rove

Sarah Palin on Fox News, August 18, 2011.

/ Fox News

Fox news analyst Sarah Palin took a shot at her quasi-colleague Karl Rove for suggesting that the former vice presidential candidate may make a bid for the White House.

"Any professional pundit claiming to have 'inside information' regarding Governor Palin's personal decision is not only wrong but their comments are specifically intended to mislead the American public," Palin's Sarah PAC website declared.

Could Palin rewrite the campaign rulebook?

Rove is not mentioned by name in the post but the Fox News analyst told Fox News Sunday that he thinks odds favor Palin getting in the race.

"I'm not much of a gambler, but I'd put a little bit more money that she gets in than she doesn't," the former strategist for George W. Bush said. Of her upcoming schedule in Iowa, which includes a Tea Party speaking event on September 3, Rove said it "looks like that of a candidate, not a celebrity."

Palin's website statement said "these are the same tired establishment political games that fuel the 24 hour news cycle and that all Americans will hopefully reject in 2012, and this is more of the "politics-as-usual" that Sarah Palin has fought against throughout her career."

I'm curious to this (political) "career" she refer's too??? You mean the half term as gov of Alaska, or do you mean city counsel, or could it be the weather girls stint on TV???

She is a multi-millionaire only because she was picked by McCain in 2008. She circumvented Alaska's Open door policy (Sun shine laws for other states) for lawmakers by bypassing her government email account and using google and yahoo to do state business and select people for positions based on favortism and input from her husband (a non-elected official), she used her influence to try to get a trooper fired. She talks about "politics-as-usual" but she was just as corrupt and unethical as every politician currently out there. If she really cared about American's or Alaskains why did she quit after half a term? Because she is greedy like the rest of corporate America, she's only in it for the money!!!

All Sarah Bin Palin has to do is open her toxic mouth and some low IQ Americans send her money. Ignorant Americans made this neurotic lady rich. She understands that she doesn't have a chance in hell of being POTUS. However, she makes boat loads of $$$ from the media. It's all a game for her. Ask her husband Todd...he was caught on tape admitting the truth...that Palin is doing this entirely for the money. Someone should challenge Palin to an IQ test. I bet she doesn't even score the national average of 94, 28th in the world.

Good grief, this woman will criticize anything and anyone if she thinks it will get her name in the news one more time. She's nothing but a media wh@re, yet bites the hand that feeds her.

She should definitely know everything about misleading the American public, after all she is the one that came up with "Death Panels"

You may be too early to say that there won't be any death panels. Obamacare hasn't been fully implemented yet. I pray that it never is. I pray that the Suprem Court rules it unconstitutional because it contains that clause that forces all American citizens to buy health care whether they want it or not. That is unAmerican and unconstitutional!

You would be wise to withold your criticism of Palin about the death panels until Obamacare is fully implemented because it may very well be that she was right!

USA_is_back You know very well that I'm not the only one who thinks it's unconstitutional. You also know very well that a federal court recently ruled that clause unconstitutional and soon the Supreme Court may very well make that same ruling and you will just have to accept it. That's what you can't stand.

---------------
Anything and everything she's said since she started running for Vice President.

And the fact that she didn't have the courage to finish her term as Governor after getting a taste of the national spotlight.

All one has to do is actually listen or read for comprehension on most of her talks or writings to understand how little she actually knows about anything and how little she understands the basic features of the world around her - let alone something as complex as the economy, international relations and so on.

If one only listens to find things that we agree with to Sarah Palin - she comes across wonderfully. However, at that level, there is no substance. One must listen to comprehend what she's actually saying - not just 'hear things I agree with'.
