Daily Caller Wonders if Chuck Todd Took a Shot at Sarah Palin; No, He Didn’t

On Tuesday’s Daily Rundown, co-anchor Chuck Todd delivered an innocuous “On This Date” segment about the 1999 swearing in of Jesse Ventura (I-Mn) as Governor, but the 30-second spot did not escape the notice of The Daily Caller‘s Jeff Poor, who wondered if there was a shot at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin embedded in the clip.

It’s a fair question, especially if you’re inclined to be defensive about Palin, but Todd’s remark was actually fairly broad. Even so, rather than wonder, I actually asked Chuck about it.

After setting up the clip, here’s what Jeff Poor had to say about the supposed possible shot at Palin:

However, Todd also made a point to mention that Ventura served his entire term.

“The Reform Party candidate would go on to serve only one term in office but he did serve his entire four years,” he added. “Not all governors do that.”

It’s not completely obvious who Todd was referring to when he said “not all governors,” but it’s possible he could have been referring to Palin – a frequent target of MSNBC’s on-air talent. You be the judge.

Here’s the clip, from The Daily Rundown:

Rather than simply letting “you be the judge,” I asked Todd about the remark, and he told me that the remark was directed at former Governor (and current “The Body) Ventura, and no one else.

Palin’s fans could be forgiven for taking offense, though. The Tea Party ranks are famously made up of newly-energized voters who might not have previously followed politics as closely as Chuck Todd does. When they hear “governor who resigned,” they might only think of Palin, but even recent political history is dotted with lava-hot resignations from the likes of Rod Blagojevich (D-Il), Eliot Spitzer (D-NY), Jim McGreevey (D-NJ), and Mark Sanford (R-SC)…wait, scratch that last one. Sanford resigned as Republican Governors Association chair, but incredibly did finish his term.

While Palin may have a cable news career in common with Spitzer, she has one major difference with her fellow members of the Society of Gubernatorial Resignees: none of them thinks they can now become President. (Well, maybe Blagojevich. Who knows what that guy thinks?)

It’s little wonder, then, that Palin’s fans would be touchy about the subject. While Palin has a near-lock on the Republican Party’s presidential nomination for 2012, the fact that she quit her governorship could become her greatest obstacle in a general election. At the end of the day, even Americans who agree that she was treated unfairly aren’t likely to vote for someone who refused to stay and fight. That doesn’t mean she can’t possibly win, but it’s going to take some miracle media mojo to get people over that resignation hump. That’s not a “shot” at Palin, it’s just a fact.

I don’t think there is any question of a lie, and if the Palinistas are hyper-sensitive about politicians who neglect and abandon their jobs, perhaps they should be. The people of Alaska obviously didn’t think too highly of it, although, all the Marys in Heaven know they benefited from one notorious resignation.

Give me a break. That was obviously a shot at Palin. But, it’s interesting that since Todd, a lefty, tells Tommy, another lefty, that it wasn’t a shot, well that’s all there is to it. For once, Tommy doesn”t dig deep & parce every letter because, well, Tommy likes Todd because they share the same ideology.

“While Palin has a near-lock on the Republican Party’s presidential nomination for 2012″

That statement shows that either a) you’re not a serious person or b) you’re ignorant when it comes to politics. I guess you could be both but either way that statement is ridiculous.

All the Marys in Heaven, if paranoia and victimization were commodities, the two of you and Michelle-in-Utah could retire the national debt. If you’d ever had the good sense and judgment to watch Mr. Todd you’d know no one has been tougher on the Democrats than he has. Todd is about as objective as anyone in the American media today and a hell of a nice, decent guy.

I sometimes wish I was stupid enough to believe what people like Chuck “Crawfish” Todd tell me after they clearly say one thing then want me to believe another.

Being that stupid would really simplify my life. But then, I’d be a liberal and I just can’t sink that low.
tatboy

MSNBC has a history here. They have set themselves up as the MOST anti-Palin news outlet and have been rewarded for doing to… so I can’t blame them. I am no fan of Palin, but the offensive comments, jokes, and general hate from all liberal outlets (not just MSNBC) for someone who hold no office is beyond me.

Letterman’s joke about Alex R. fucking her (at the time) 14 year old daughter was one of the extream low points IMHO. And NO, Lettermann was lying that the joke was about Bristol… she was NOT at the game in question, ONLY Palin’s 14 y/o daughter was at that game. Lettermann’s excuse was that the joke was about a girl that wasn’t there. Now Kathy Griffen has announced her intention to “go affter” Palin’s now 16 y/o daugheter.

Chuck Todd works for MSNBC. MSNBC has a history that needs to be brought into this story… it was not. And no, I don’t put it past Todd to lie when confrunted about the snark.

I’m afraid I have to disagree. There was nothing altruistic, no stewardship here. The Drop Our Governor got a taste of the big lights and designer clothes, and the isolation and low profile of the Alaska governorship just wasn’t going to slice it anymore. I don’t find that this most noble of motives, to be sure, but I don’t find that a character flaw either.She should have just been honest about it.

Thank God this is done….Tommy got is almost daily article at taking a shot at Sarah Palin while telling us he didn’t take a shot at Sarah Palin article written and posted.

Tommy won’t find out what he is doing until that cute little boy of his does something Tommy is going to catch him doing it and being told….”No Daddy…I did not do that!”

Yes… the frustrations of being a parent catching you kid being bad…then denying it is just like reading one of Tommy’s “Daily Shot at Sarah” articles.

Well, to answer your question honestly it’s the “Not all Governor’s do” shot at the end of a story that had nothing to do with Palin (or any other governor for that matter). Kinda like the left goes apeshit everytime a conservative pundit brings up Teddy killing a young woman or Clinton’s “what “is” is comment, everytime they talk about them. They are all true and used as weapons for the other side to belittle the subject of their distaste.

Thank you for the response. There is truth in it, although I still don’t think Mr. Todd intended to take a shot. I tend to think hypersensitive readers inferred a shot.

I don’t care that some leftist takes a shot at Palin, it happens many times every day. The funny part is that not only does the guy lie about it, but that Mediaite helps him lie.

If some conservative had taken a ridiculously obvious shot at Obama, would Tommy say, “Well, Sean Hannity wasn’t directing anything at all toward Obama, I know, because I asked him”. Please.

Does it really matter if it was a shot or not? Does it make Chuck Todd any less credible a commentator than Billy O or Hannity who take shots at Dems as if their lives depended on it? As if it means Chuck should be silenced or his show time cut back for such injustice. Get a grip.

That’s not the issue. Oh, it may be why Tommy wrote this dumb column, but it’s not as though anyone’s fooled. What most people find funny is that Tommy expects people to believe the lie. Especially funny when he says, well, I asked him. :)

Jim Hunt was such a popular Governor of North Carolina, they changed the state’s constitution to allow for two consecutive terms. Naturally he was re-elected, then Jim Martin became Governor and when his second term was finished, Jim Hunt was re-elected for twice again.

Now whom did I slam with that statement of fact?

The truTV conspiracy information is nothing new.
I reported the World Trade Center Building 7 demolition
for the insurance money on my TV show more than a year ago.
Call for free WTC 7 video – 612/529-5253
Ventura intros his truTV show by lying about being a Navy SEAL.
He wasn’t a Navy SEAL and the picture he shows is from the movie Predator.

Facts you should know about Jesse Ventura

- Ventura lied about being a Navy SEAL on active duty. He joined the SEAL Reserves after active duty. (Page 102).
- He lied about being in Vietnam and being in combat. He told Dennis Anderson of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that “you haven’t hunted until you’ve hunted man”. The only man Ventura may have hunted would have been in a Minneapolis bookstore.
- Bribed a candidate on July 17, 1998 in order to run unopposed in the Reform Party. Call for free video of the bribe.
- Fixed the investigation of the July 1998 by bribing Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner with a job for her boyfriend John Wodele as his Communications Director.
- Told single moms that they were on their own.
- Told students in a speech at the Univ. of Minnesota to “win if you can, lose if you must, but Always Cheat”.
- Insulted people who were religious or mentally ill.
- Killed caged birds at a game farm with Maria Shriver.
- Endorsed “torture” of people at Highway 55 where 600-law enforcement (the largest police action in Minnesota history) arrested peaceful protesters trying to prevent demolition of homes for a road. Many protesters were handcuffed behind their backs and had pepper spray put in their eyes (Page 4).
- Ventura took government money to go to school in Hennepin County and later told students that if they were smart enough to go to college they should be able to figure out how to pay for it.

Let me get this straight, TRRK proposes Seeing 2012 has no idea of Todd’s intent, but then goes on to point out that he DOES know Todd’s intent. And on top of that, he even knows Sarah Palin’s intent when she left the governership.

SO — the conclusion is, no one can know another’s intent because TRRK says so EXCEPT himself, of course. Weird.

Nice try TRRK, but I don’t see any “I think” in your Palin quote. So that would make my point correct that you did exactly what you were accusing Seeing 2012 of doing. Also no ‘I think’ in your pea-brained moron comment directed towards me, so I assume you’re stating it as fact?

Correct, This is simply a narrative that will be propagated much like the McCain one was in 08. The media would like to see Palin as the nominee because she is polarizing and unlikely to be electable. In point of fact the media completely went off the rails in 08 when they acted as joyful enablers in the deification of Obama, essentially covering for his complete lack of preparation for the job, and they tossed Hillary under the bus who lately has been looking positively statesmanlike. On the GOP side they regularly framed coverage to make McCain look like the only guy who could beat Obama.

Palin has a loyal but inadequate following on the Right, she serves the party interests best by continuing to do what she does now which is to act as the Jiminy Cricket of the GOP while simultaneously drawing the lions share of comically deranged fire from the self congratulatory elitists on the Left.

I didn’t want to put too fine a point on it in the article, because I thought it spoke for itself, but you’re off-base about this. I’ve worked in the White House for two years now, and my colleagues aren’t exactly shy people. Everything I wrote here is consistent with what I know about Chuck, or I wouldn’t have written it.
