Jack Cafferty Quivers Over Possible Palin Run: 'God Help Us'
By Matt Hadro | August 03, 2011 | 19:17
It's no secret that CNN's Jack Cafferty possesses a deep-seated loathing of Sarah Palin, and now that she may run for the Republican presidential ticket the grumpy CNN contributor has one more thing to grumble over.
"Palin recently said she plans to decide about 2012 in late August or September. God help us," Cafferty bemoaned Wednesday on The Situation Room. He fretted that the entry of Palin or Donald Trump into the Republican presidential race "would tend to fit nicely with the political insanity we've been watching the last couple of weeks."
[Video below the break.]
Cafferty found reason to cheer up a bit when he reported the poor box office results of Palin's documentary film "The Undefeated." In the past, he has resorted to replaying his previous rants about Palin and featuring criticisms from her ex-aide, as well as saying he'd eat a building if she became President.
During his Wednesday diatribe, he also called Palin the "I quit after half-a-term" governor. "The 'I quit after half-a-term' governor of Alaska says the U.S. needs a 'restoration of all that is good and strong and free,' whatever the hell that means," Cafferty growled.
A transcript of the segment, which aired on August 3 at 6:17 p.m. EDT, is as follows:
JACK CAFFERTY: Wolf, with the 2000 [sic] election sneaking ever so closer – ever so closer, that's not right, but it's coming up – there is still a chance that Sarah Palin and Donald Trump might throw their hats in the ring. Which would tend to fit nicely with the political insanity we've been watching the last couple of weeks.
(...)
As for Sarah Palin, she'll be keeping herself in the spotlight when she headlines a Tea Party rally near Des Moines, Iowa over Labor Day weekend. The "I quit after half-a-term" governor of Alaska says the U.S. needs a "restoration of all that is good and strong and free,” whatever the hell that means.
The September appearance will mark Palin's second in Iowa this year. In late June, she and her husband attended the premiere of a pro-Palin documentary film titled "The Undefeated." Well, the film has been soundly defeated at the box office, where it counts. The movie opened nationwide in the middle of July and earned a lousy $5,000 this past weekend, the worst performance yet. The popcorn stand at the theater took in more money. Palin recently said she plans to decide about 2012 in late August or September. God help us.
Here’s the question: Are Sarah Palin and Donald Trump the answer to the country's problems?

Look how bad our economy is with the single smartest man to have ever held presidential office running things. We mere mortals can't begin to comprehend such vast wisdom and intelligence. Imagine what kind of apocalypse would await us if some hick from Alaska got the job. /sarc

I guess it made something like 150,000 or so. I wonder if that is any indication of whether or not she'll run for pres.

We don't need yet another internet monster that harasses users and their children, attempts to fish for personal information to harass users outside the internet, and sexual miscreant here. Your time was finished long ago.

Our economy is going down hill because of their Messiah and this ass is worried about Palin? Even if Palin doesn't know anything about economics, what is she going to do to worsen what the Obama and the left have done?

Political Insanity?

""would tend to fit nicely with the political insanity we've been watching the last couple of weeks."
Actually, that political insanity we've been watching has been over the last four years, from the time an inexperienced and un-vetted junior senator from Illinois began his bizarre and media-assisted rise to his disastrous presidency.

I am an engineer with 30 plus years in assorted technology industries. The best most productive manager I ever worked for, had ZERO technology in his skill set. The key is to have all the right techology and managment people working for you that you have complete trust in and go to bat to make sure they get what they say they need. Working for such a manager, we came in on time and under budget, something unheard of in DC.
The issue is the person and their ability to manage and delegate correctly, not how many years in a particular discipline.
I have often wondered about this
Submitted by Tugboat Phil on Thu, 08/04/2011 - 9:37am.
Most of the computer guru types that I've known usually have poor or no people skills. However, if I was hiring them to do their magic, I wouldn't really care about that. I figured that to keep them all together on a project would require a person with very good people skills. I'd imagine that cat herder would be a good resume bullet for that type of job.
Something like this perhaps?

Why do these libs - who dismiss and ridicule Christianity and God any chance they can (unless they can use it to describe some kind of 'right-wing terrorist') continue to USE God's name (in vain, I might add) whenever they need to make some kind of point??
And anyway, since Boy Barry sits at the HEAD of the big table in heaven, surrounded by God, Bono, Sting, and a few other wanna-be's, Cafferty could be saying 'Barry help us'..................and we can see how well that's been working out.

when the libs and or D's really ratchet it up in god's name they are close to total self destruction. we might just have a little hand in helping them over the edge.
Watch the Dow, anything below 10730 cannot rally into new highs. The Dow or our huge mood indicator would be seeking 6300 or even less. it might take awhile to get there so don't expect it over night, but the very moment the 10730 level is breached it won't find new highs above mid July. That level must be breached or we do have potential to rally into new highs.
as the Dow falls watch Obama's poll numbers drop too boot..once under 38% that level acts a s a ceiling, and he is primed to drop lower. I figure 23% is about where he truly faces tests which he cannot overcome...(i am being polite here)

I suspect your incontinence gives you such a cheerful view. Your commentary, quite frankly, is as important to the rest of us as the condition of your prostate. Go apply some heat and leave the political discourse to those of us who are at least sentient.
