Seriously. You have to wonder how Sarah Palin and her momma bear clan will react to this put-down by Barbara Bush, the former First Lady of the United States. It's got to hurt like a giant sunburn down your back to know that the Former First Lady thinks so little of your acumen to be a presidential candidate:
(CNN) – Sarah Palin may not have the biggest fan in former first lady Barbara Bush.
"I sat next to her once. Thought she was beautiful," Barbara Bush said. "And she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there."
Buuuuuurnnn! Ouch.
And it's not the first time that Sarah Palin has been attacked like this, and it was Senator Murkowski who said this great comment below:
Murkowski shared her take on the matter during an appearance on Monday's edition of "CBS Evening News" with Katie Couric.
"I just do not think that she has those leadership qualities, that intellectual curiosity that allows for building good and great policies," explained the incumbent lawmaker when asked about a previous suggestion she's made that she wouldn't support Palin for president. "You know, she was my governor for two years. And I don't think that she enjoyed governing."
Elaborating on her view, Murkowski continued, "I want somebody that goes to bed at night and wakes up in the morning thinking about how we're going to deal with our national security issues, how we're going to deal with our economy, how we're going to deal with providing better education or peace in the Middle East."
Given that Sarah Palin's more likely to go to bed at night and wake up in the morning thinking about how her precious Bristol can win Dancing With The Stars since the show's wised onto the freeping of the voting system, this is why no sane Republican wants Sarah Palin anywhere near the White House in D.C.
Even if Sarah Palin does run, she'll be sabotaged by her own party, and discredited heavily even more than she is now. The remarks by Murkowski and Babs Bush is just a small preview of what's to come if Sarah Palin dips her toes into the presidential campaign. And it won't be pretty. No amount of Vaseline-soaked camera action on Palin's show on TLC can change that fact. I can't wait for the cold, sobering reality that comes when this two-bit mayor from Wasilla, Alaska, figures out that the Republican Party doesn't want her.
Now that'll be schadenfreude with plenty of butter-soaked popcorn on the side to watch.
