Wonkette
John McCain’s former TUFF-TALKING campaign strategist Steve Schmidt—whose job it was to knowingly tell outrageous lies in attempts to try to manipulate an entire nation into electing Sarah Palin, some sort of mystical and feared Loch Ness character who figures prominently in the oral histories of the moose community—has changed his mind. He has changed his mind, ladies and gentleman, about Sarah Palin.
Thing is: she’s sort of… awful. You know? Although people like her enough to pre-order her piece of shit book on Amazon, he’ll give her that.
Schmidt did compliment Palin for engendering fascination among millions of people throughout the country. “Just look at her pre-sales numbers,” he said of her book. And he even added that it was not “inconceivable that she could be Republican nominee for president of the United States.”
But, he qualified, it would be “fairly inconceivable” that she could end up being president. “In fact, were she to be the nominee we could have a catastrophic election.”
Clearly what Palin needs is a Steve Schmidt-level strategist.

More like a super-awesome-incredible-fun election, Mr. Shidt!
Why have you not posted blingee of the book cover? Why, Juli, why?
Not to interupt, but GOTTA SEE THIS! Glen Beck inducing tears with Vick’s…

Clearly, what Palin needs is a Steve Schmidt-sized douchebag… oh, wait…
He means “catastrophic” in the sense of a Japanese reality TV show.
Have to agree. One catastrophic election per century is plenty, and we already had it in 2000.
Schmidt seems to really like using the word “inconceivable.” Must resist geek urges; do not … quote…
Would’ve been nice if bald little Stevie had told us Palin’s pussy smells before the election last year instead of safely piling on after we already know what a fuckin’ grifting nimrod she is.
“I think that she has talent,” as a crosseyed flautist.
That trick will certainly come in handy when Glenn takes the witness stand in his upcoming rape/murder trial.

PerhapsSo: Scares the moose away from the site.
Damn. Just think he could have gone to his grave with his dirty secret and none of us would ever have known she was a moron.
stew: “Glenn Beck vapo-rubs one out”
hobospacejunkie: I know! Way to be bold and courageous by telling us what anyone with half a brain knew as soon as she opened her mouth!
This is what I love about politicians and their ilk… can’t say the word shit even when their mouths are full of it. Until after
the election.
America’s Next Top Presidential Candidate.
Stevie’s still angry that Nicole Wallace & Palin wouldn’t let him watch while they played beaver buddies in their hotel bedroom on election night.
Hedley Lamar: Sort of like Army generals. War’s going great until a Democrat gets elected and they can hang the loss on him.
“In fact, were she to be the nominee we could have a catastrophic election.”
Yeah, catastrophic in the sense of a 75-25 Republican loss.
Smoke Filled Roommate: I read that as “as a crosseyed flatulist”. Which is probably not a word but should be.
V572625694: But the 2000 election was in the 20th Century… so I’m certain the US 2012 election will once again capture the attention of the whole world - Skoalrebel 2012!!1!!
So what to do we credit for Steve Schmidt’s new found enlightenment? A blow to the head? Drugs? Guilt?

Robert Reich says things are going to get worse:
… In other words, ten percent unemployment really means twenty percent underemployment or anxious employment. All of which translates directly into late payments on mortgages, credit cards, auto and student loans, and loss of health insurance. It also means sleeplessness for tens of millions of Americans. And, of course, fewer purchases (more on this in a moment).
Unemployment of this magnitude and duration also translates into ugly politics, because fear and anxiety are fertile grounds for demagogues weilding the politics of resentment against immigrants, blacks, the poor, government leaders, business leaders, Jews, and other easy targets. It’s already started. Next year is a mid-term election. Be prepared for worse.
Isn’t this the dude that saw her in a towel? I wonder what talent he is talking about? In what respect, Stevesie?
Chicago just lost the Olympic bid. Cue “Obama really is a failure” repotage from Fox and RedState. Also, “he wasted tax payer dollars on a failed bid for glory”.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Rio, personally. So is Rush Limbaugh.
x111e7thst: Or “as a crosseyed fellatist”.
x111e7thst: She’s that, too. Because even Sarah Palin farts.
The reason that he changed his mind about Palin is that he now actually knows something about her character, brains, maturity, etc. He was completely in the dark about these qualities when he helped to CHOOSE HER TO BE THE RUNNING MATE OF A MAN IN HIS 70’s WITH A HSITORY OF CANCER WHO WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
Steve, do us all a favor and be a little more circumspect next time.
And residents of Chicago celebrate. Does anyone who actually lives in the bidding city ever really want their city to win?
shadowMark:
How can it get worse than “Our opponent is a nazi, facist, socialst baby-killing non-american”? Besides resorting to lynchings, mob rule, pograms, and genocide, that is.
Eesh, I think I just answered my own question.
But if everybody that believes in Sarah Palin could just clap their hands…
AnnieGetYourFun: If Chicago had won they’d say it was misuse of his powers, waste of taxpayer money, look at Vancouver, etc. Rio’s a cool place. Can’t wait for the John Tesh/Paula Zahn tour.
x111e7thst: BigBrainOnBrad: Okay, so she’s a fartin’, blowin’, suckin’ crosseyed fistfulla talent.
stew: For the taping of his show, he rubs the Vicks on his dick to get the tears a-rolling.
Stevie, please encourage Sarah to run in 2012. Otherwise Wonkette will have no material to work with.
OBV alert: being the bald ghey, he is immune to her tits/charms.
x111e7thst: Palin’s got a long ways to go before she can be spoken of in the same (sulfur-reeking) breath as Le Petomaine.
qaf: Thank you. My daily quotient for historical studies has been fulfilled.
Steve Schmidt: Beat your meat on the toilet seat, doo-dah, doo-dah.
Sarah Palin: Sure looks funny but it sure feels neat, all the doo-dah day.
qaf: Artistically speaking yes, but from a compensatory standpoint, the low six figures for an hour and a half of hilarity pulled directly from her ass is pretty impressive. She has the basics, just not the refinement. Practice! Practice! Practice!!11!!
If we are not getting Olympics whatever, we should, at least, be able to enjoy a catastrophic election, a catastrophically FUN election, so shut up Schmidt - why do you hate America so much.
Palin/Also 2012!
LittlePig: that causes tears too.
If he ever gets the hang of using honesty in real time, he could get a low-paying job like the rest of us.
Yeah, America, you betcha’! We won! But I am resigning before being sworn in so real Americans won’t have to put up with a lame-duck president for the next four years. My vice presidenty running mate Glen Beck can take over for me and support the troops. I got lots of monies now and a house next door to Britney Spears, so thanks, America. Bye, now, until my next book tour and you yokels buy that one. Also.
McCain made Palin a multi-millionaire.
God I hate that guy.
JMP: THEREFORE I clearly cannot trust the candidate in front of YOU.
You can help bail Fmr Gov Palin out of jail by donating to The Alaska Fund Trust. I chipped in because she was the GILF, I chipped in because she is currently the FGILF, and if she was ever the GYLF I think YOU should chip in too.

stew: Didn’t William Hurt catch bloody hell for inducing tears in “Network?” Another fake journalist.
Steve Schmidt better consider a switch in party affiliation. The only potential Repug candidate who doesn’t possess the Palin FAIL-factor is TPaw, and he just hired Rove’s spawn.
Too bad he didn’t tell grandpa b4 he named her as his walking mate.
Let’s be clear, Team McCain always hated Palin except for McCain, himself, who’s probably convinced to this day that he didn’t pick a lemon. Always. Schmidt didn’t change his mind. He’s had less-than-flattering things to say about her, before, particularly just after the election. Let’s not make shit up to make a story.
Click: Maybe there will be justice in the end, because we all know how hillbilly simpletons who win the lottery end up.
