Crank It Up: Noonan, Murphy Put McCain On Blast [Update 5:51 PM]
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at 4:46PM
Conservative critics Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy bemoan the Palin Pick off-camera as "cynical" and "political bullshit" on MSNBC. Beware of the hot mike! They're not just getting Jesse this year!
The clip is making the rounds all over the internet including Huffington Post and Politico.
The following is from Ben Smith's Blog at Politico:
After a segment with NBC's Chuck Todd ended today, Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mike ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin.
"It's over," said Noonan, who then responded to a question of whether Palin is the most qualified Republican woman McCain could have chosen.
"The most qualified? No. I think they went for this — excuse me — political bullsh** about narratives," she said. "Every time Republicans do that ... because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at and they blow it."
Murphy chimed in:
"The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical."

No Peggy did NOT refer to McCain's serious, very well-vetted, Super Ultra Qualified so pretty gun-totin' and also completely insane choice of Sarah Palin as "political bull***."
I need to make that my ringtone.
lol...this stuff writes itself...
Damn...Peggy basically said what every sane American really things about this bitch Sarah.
I'd rather Hillary over nutjob Sarah. Knowing Americas luck we will get stuck with this woman in office. God why is America so Stupid?!
