- Deadpixel1221, on 09/03/2008, -36/+1264Wait a minute didn't Peggy Noonan just write an article praising the Pailin pick? Seems republicans only tell the truth when they think nobody is listening.
The good news: "ITS OVER!" - ChessPieceFace, on 09/03/2008, -17/+657"I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have picked?"
Noonan?: "Most qualified? No, I think they went with for this, excuse me, political ***** about narratives"
a little later
Noonan?: "Every time Republicans do that, because thats not where they live at and it's not what their good at, they blow it."
hehehehe Good Stuff! - dagnabbit, on 09/03/2008, -17/+602Ronald Reagan's speechwriter, a woman, just called McCain's VP pick "political *****".
If that were any liberal politician or commentator in the country, the Republicans would be frothing at the mouth.
I lol'ed. - IrishJoe, on 09/03/2008, -14/+475This is awesome! Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy bad mouth Palin and McCain when they think their mics are off. They admit the choice of Palin is ***** and that she was not the most qualified candidate, but that it was political *****. Contradicting what they say when the know the mic is on. Priceless.
- AxmxZ, on 09/03/2008, -9/+403Transcript of hot-mike snafu with Peggy Noonan, Chuck Todd, Mike Murphy;
Noonan: [Can't hear since Todd (who is still on air) is talking over her]
Murphy: Um, you know, because, I come out of the blue swing state governor world. Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys, this is all how you win a Texas race, just run it up, and it's not gonna work.
Noonan: It's Over.
Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good.
Todd: ".. insulting to Kay Baily Hutchinson..."
Noonan: Saw Kay this morning.
Todd: She's never looked comfortable up there..
Murphy: Oh, ***** that.
Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can obtain?
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political ***** about narratives...[couldn't hear the end of it]
Todd: Yeah, but what's a narrative?
Murphy: I totally agree.
Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.
Murphy: You know what's the worst thing about it, the greatest of McCain is no cynicism, and..
Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical.
Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky. - peticsu, on 09/03/2008, -16/+374I cant stop laughing
now the republicans are going to say Peggy Noonan is sexist!!! LMFAO!!!!!! - b0rg, on 09/03/2008, -16/+357Someone forgot to stay on message!
- Olon97, on 09/03/2008, -13/+346Just in case you don't realize it, check out the bios of these two "hateful liberals" up on wikipedia.
Peggy Noonan - Speechwriter for Reagan. Also worked for Bush Sr.
Mike Murphy - Former McCain adviser. Also has at times advised Jeb Bush, John Engler, Tommy Thompson, Christie Whitman, Lamar Alexander, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and most recently Mitt Romney.
Wow. Honesty. - rubberpants, on 09/03/2008, -6/+316Just goes to show that these "pundits" play fictional characters on TV. The corporate media is all just a big lie.
- freedomjoe, on 09/03/2008, -22/+284everyone knows republicans aren't good at narratives -- too long for their base to pay attention. Stick with symbols, kindergarten attacks and your ministry of truth, people. It's all you got.
The one thing they NEVER do is tell the truth to the American People. Finally! By accident...here it is. What must their base be thinking now? Wonder if one day all those poor people who've been manipulated by this party's false promises of family values will wake up and realize they've been lied to for 8 long years. - RoroCo, on 09/03/2008, -10/+210I would rather listen to them talking like that for an hour vs them talking the Pub/Dem/Media played out talking points repeatedly. Get some ethics and let people know how you really feel guys. Toeing the party line on either side means nothing will ever improve. Freedom of Speech is a powerful tool... USE IT!
- inactive, on 09/03/2008, -16/+198Holy *****.
- vbullinger, on 09/03/2008, -21/+193Hey, it's not Republicans, it's Neocons. A small faction of Republicans that have taken over the power in the party.
The real Republicans - myself included - went to the Target Center last night for Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic. - JekJob, on 09/03/2008, -12/+165Everyone KNOWS she's not qualified. The Republicans, however, say otherwise because that's all they are able to do. They're running out of options. They had a chance to pick a super-qualified VP but they chose somebody who has received some of the most intense criticism I've ever seen.
Murphey: "It's not going to work."
Noonan: "It's over." - johnnr2, on 09/03/2008, -12/+153PRICELESS!!!
- funkyloki, on 09/03/2008, -9/+149I totally love how there is no one on here defending the pick or this mistake. Not vexingmodtwo, not quadzeroroute, none of those ***** right wing shills, because this is indefensible. Man, I'm LMFAO.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 09/03/2008, -14/+146Like Tessio said "Tell Michael it was only business..."
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -5/+133So then take your damn party back already? Until you do you're all the same as far as the rest of the world is concerned because you keep voting in people like Bush and McCain.
The majority of the population of your party determines what your party really stands for. What you consider a "Real" republican has changed from what it used to be. - ZenMojo, on 09/03/2008, -13/+139Less narratives, more two minutes of hate. Man, you Republicans went completely out of your element.
- dagnabbit, on 09/03/2008, -6/+121In other words, this is hugely embarrassing for McCain. Even the conservative pundits think Palin's pick is "political *****" and "cynical". The emperor has no clothes. Palin is sending his campaign down in flames.
- mattmartinez, on 09/03/2008, -2/+116http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122044753790594947 ...
- samimnot, on 09/03/2008, -6/+119LMAO....the only time these people actually say something truthful, is when they think no ones listening.
- Muzikal203, on 09/03/2008, -13/+118Tell us how you really feel!
- blakecr, on 09/03/2008, -1/+104Never say its over until...well yeah its over. I think tonight's speech will be rather interesting.
- AxmxZ, on 09/03/2008, -7/+109The pundit world stops spinning for 1 minute.
- macsox, on 09/03/2008, -10/+110Um, but, uh - media sexist private baby experience! Hockey mom straight talk POW POW POW!
Um, raised taxes! 9/11 angry left terrah hillary!
Also, moose! - Deadpixel1221, on 09/03/2008, -6/+103 vexingmodstwo, nobody gives a ***** who you'll vote for. We know you would never vote for Obama under any circumstance, so quit pretending we're somehow trying to wooo you. You aren't the voter we're looking for.
- FTWmovin2canada, on 09/03/2008, -4/+96I'm becoming more and more convinced the Republicans are consciously using Doublethink.
- KSUdesigner, on 09/03/2008, -2/+89Here's what I don't understand about people like you...why do you still call yourselves Republicans? These neocons have disgraced the Republican name and "true Republicans" will never be viewed in the same light again. I think it's time you all start a new party and distance yourselves from these people as much as possible.
- sdigroup, on 09/03/2008, -6/+92"political *****" = Win for Obama
- georgemason01, on 09/03/2008, -22/+99Dugg for the Ron Paul sign in the background (6 seconds in).
- inactive, on 09/03/2008, -6/+82Let's see how the Digg republikans spin this one.
- wendelgee2, on 09/03/2008, -8/+81What a ***** bitch. Seriously. She's selling out America for a paycheck.
- MAARRS, on 09/03/2008, -7/+78Gimmicky!!! You heard it!

Murphy: You know what's the worst thing about it, the greatest of McCain is no cynicism, and..
Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical.
Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky.
****************
No more whining about how a good lookin' black man is only out to steal yr wallet. Obama isn't a fake or gimmicky. He is our new leader. a man of multi racial heritage that sees a world without boundaries. Without the 'spin' of Washington. Don't fear an intelligent, articulate, reasonable, positive, soulful black man. Sometimes, he's yr only hope.
Damn! They said 'GIMMICKY"!!!!!!! - free101girl, on 09/03/2008, -15/+85Peggy Noonan is one smart woman. Too bad she talks out of both sides of her mouth.
- piper999, on 09/03/2008, -3/+72They'd have to get past single think first.
- inactive, on 09/03/2008, -9/+75Exactly. So? It's not like you right wing idiots are going to vote for a black man.
- MValentin, on 09/03/2008, -8/+75So what should we call this? Republicans Gone Wild? Too much?
Heck, I'm just happy they caught on tape. It'll be difficult for them to walk those statements back. - mywhitenoise, on 09/03/2008, -6/+70"In other words: SO?"
That's exactly how you greedy Republicans think. - rubberpants, on 09/03/2008, -5/+68The difference is very obvious, and the two aren't even remotely comparable. But I'll explain it to you anyway:
Biden and Obama were in opposing positions. They both wanted to win, so of course Biden is going to say that Obama doesn't have experience because that's the easiest route to take, and it was something that everyone was hitting him for.
The difference is that these commentators are not running against McCain and Palin. They have nothing to gain for themselves by saying that Palin is qualified. They say that she IS qualified on the air because they wouldn't seem very loyal to their party if they said the contrary to the public.
Vexing, as always, you are DEAD wrong. - drbadass, on 09/03/2008, -10/+72at this point if Obama doesn't win office handily we're more ***** up as a nation than i suspected, even after getting bush a second time. how can you trust a man to run a country who can't even run a decent campaign?
- jamesduh, on 09/03/2008, -6/+68"It's over!"
-that's what she said! - netizenbane, on 09/03/2008, -3/+60To the production staffer who left the mic on: You're a stud.
To the production staffer who leaked the off-air recording: You're a god.
More of this, please! I trust "thought we were at commercial" commentation far more than the sparkling, Hollywood-glow production masking true sentiments! - JekJob, on 09/03/2008, -9/+66The difference is very obvious, and the two aren't even remotely comparable. But I'll explain it to you anyway:
Biden and Obama were in opposing positions. They both wanted to win, so of course Biden is going to say that Obama doesn't have experience because that's the easiest route to take, and it was something that everyone was hitting him for.

Vexing, as always, you are DEAD wrong. - qwerter, on 09/03/2008, -2/+59It somehow makes me feel better to know that Republicans aren't out of minds in their support for Palin...they're just lying.
- CharacterCounts, on 09/03/2008, -2/+56No wonder more and more actors have entered into politics.
- wendelgee2, on 09/03/2008, -1/+55And part of the Angry Left Liberal Media.
oh god, my sides, they hurt, with the laughing... - inactive, on 09/03/2008, -4/+56I can't stop listening to this. Finally some people being honest without all the gimicks. Even if it's behind the scenes.
- gsadamb, on 09/03/2008, -9/+59This is a lesson that ALL politicians, celebrities, and well, everyone should know. If you're ever mic'ed or there's a camera around, watch what you say! Even if someone's not intentionally setting you up, it just takes one person at the video switcher or one technical glitch for your words to hit the internets. Happens all the time; remember Jesse Jackson just a couple months ago?
- thelif, on 09/03/2008, -2/+51What does this say about the liberal media bias, when the conservative media feels the same..?
