This guy really has his finger on the pulse of the nation. Well, at least his finger is somewhere.

Amen.

Calling Palin a joke is giving her far too much credit.

She’s WINNING!

Mort and the LOSERS are the Jokes and Jokers!

‘Morton Kondracke is the Executive Editor and columnist for the non-partisan Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call’

YAWN

I bet Mort adores McCain,, excuse me,,, BOTH of the McCain’s

Biggest gains in the house since when?

Almost 800 seats across the country at the state level.

Two people she supported for the Senate didn’t win, the majority that she endorsed did, and Mort calls Palin the joke?

Poor Mort….just another delusional lefty.

Palin is becomming a King maker (or Queen maker, as the case may be). Kondrake is going to have to deal with that. Someone pass the message on to him that ridicule is not working.

Mort is right. Sarah Palin’s endorsees performed horribly.

Sincerely,
Rand Paul, Nikki Haley, Susana Martinez, Sean Duffy, Marco Rubio, Col. Allen West, Terry Branstad, Kelly Ayotte, Rick Perry, and Tim Scott

Poor, Mort. The classic conservative and a damn nice guy to boot. Not enough if you don’t Goose Step, now.

Palin aint the brightest but I never thought I would have to defend HER! All these people dumping on her because she may run in 2012 are only helping her “mama grizzlies hunt alone” persona. If the people like her, she will win. Why dump on her before she has even declared? Her candidacy will be fun – you betcha.

This guy is really supposed to be an intelligent guy? I think he probably knows what the establishment people who do the circle butt kissing thing are thinking…. but as for the “vast unwashed out there” boy, is he full of sh*t.

I get a kick out of idiots like this guy or the Establishment Republicans who are spreading this bull sh*t about Palin and DeMint re losing seats that the Republicans should have won. Lets just take a step back here first…

How the hell did the Republicans win so many seats this time? It was because of the Tea Party Movement which energized the voters to vote Republican… i.e. the huge turn out numbers. And who the hell caused that? People like Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint and the whole Tea Party crowd…. not those pussies in the Republican Establishment who now think they can just sit and suck on the hind teat of the money and power trough in Washington. Screw them and screw this butt kissing so-called expert Morton who must regularly bend over and butt kiss along with the Establishment Republicans.

No wonder we all have such a low view of these people…. the election happpens and shows just how peed off ALL the people in America are with ALL the politicians there (gee, aren’t Congress and guys like Morton rated down around the same level as rats and slugs… even below used car salesmen and the press?)

I hope he keeps his head up his a** because in 2012 there will be another house cleaning if this keeps up and it will hit the Republicans as well as the Democrats. And saying he is a neutral person is bull crap too…
I have listened to him on some TV panels and he is a friggin Democrat lover and liberal dolt.

He’s a doddering senile old fool for years, where the hell have you been? Oh yeah, under the bleachers…anyway, nobody takes this old fool seriously and as doughboy points out above, the win column is pretty frickin’ impressive.

King, you better head for the cafeteria, it’s almost dinner time on campus.

+ 1000!!

The joke is R’s picked up a whopping 680 state legislative seats nation wide..

Also most predict R’s to control the House for the next 8- 10 years !

Ms. O’Donnell is correct. You guys are cannibals.

Joe Miller imploded on his own (Had an 85% chance of winning in Sept.)
Ken Buck imploded on his own (He trashed Palin the first chance he got)

You can blame Sue Lowdon for Sharron Angle (Palin, or more specifically her father, supported Tarkanian in the primaries)

You can blame Mike Castle for Christine O’Donnell (He absolutely refused to debate O’Donnell, let alone actually acknowledge her existence.)

…and the ***mainstream*** candidates…well…

John Raese was awful.
Carly Fiorina was awful.
Linda McMahon was awful.
Dino Rossi never had a pulse.

If McConnell and Cornyn had their way, that list would’ve included Charlie Crist (FL) and Trey Grayson (KY).

I’m on O’Donnels conservative side, not Kondrackes RINO side numnutz. Now get on down to the cafeteria, or are you and the guys having a pizza party back at the dorm tonight?

They’re the ones who are responsible for Joe Miller in Alaska.

This makes no goddamn sense: 1) The only reason Joe Miller was even nominated was because Murkowski decided snuggle up with a pint of Chunky Munkey instead of, you know, actually campaigning.

2)Angle and O’Donnell were vying for Democratic seats and lost. Joe Miller primaried an incumbent Republican, lost to her in a write-in, and the party kept the seat.

This moron is essentially blaming the sarah palin for doing something that didn’t happen.

Excellent point!

Of the two Beltway Boys , Fred Barnes and Mort Kondracke , blithering fool ( watch him – that is textbook blithering he’s doing ) Mort is the joke .

His stammering and stuttering drives me insane. He can’t even get his incoherent (and hopelessly misguided) thoughts out of his mouth. I keep waiting for Barnes to pull a Jethro Gibbs on him and smack him in the head to spit it out.

Mort’s trying to get a job at msnbc.

The Beltway “Boys”? Boys!?

Two Fitty-Something Casper (I HATE White People!! ALL Of Them!! Every Last IOTA Of A Cracka, I HATE ‘Em!!) White Crackas who haven’t Been outside the F’ckin Beltway in Who Knows HOW Long?, and who are as D.C Republican Establishment as they Come, are Suddenly the Experts on what everyone between the Whackjob Coasts is Thinking, and who Punk-Bitches like This guy http://cdn-www.cracked.com/articleimages/wong/middle_america.jpg are Now latching On to as their Beacons of Political Troof? Desperate Much Proggies? LOL!

I don’t think the GOP ever really had a chance to flip the Senate but one thing is true – A Sarah Palin Presidency would spell the end of America’s greatness.

That’s the dirty little secret in Republican circles; they’d like her to raise money and then go away. Mort just committed in politics what is called a gaffe – he told the truth.

Ooooh, so that’s the kind of conservative you are! I guess you and Ms. O’Donnell can have a really intellectual conversation about conservatism. And the rest of your commentary was soooo intelligent. Wow…..

Who’s “most”? Cite your source… and far-right blogs aren’t considered a source for political analysis, either. Nice try.

True. But Morton has been an extreme right-wing goon for decades. Typically, regressive & repressive. Duh. Just another intellectual thug.

Morton Kondracke is 71, not a 50-something. He is a graduate of Dartmouth University, a prototypical Ivy League college. He joined the army after graduation and worked in military intelligence in Washington, DC, and has been there ever since as a journalist and media guy.
Whatever political leanings he may have, he’s been a Washington guy so long he can’t see beyond the Beltway. He has no understanding of Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, or the Tea Party phenomenon. He thinks all wisdom resides in the Establishment and DC. He will denigrate anything and everything that does not fit that mindset.

It’s really insulting to say Sarah would be a joke as President. She’s a joke now to people who can see beyond her talking points and bumper sticker speeches.

Palin is a force to deal with,but her wins were not so grand to her losses! Demint, boy I never could have called that one, in Texas call the gov. and tell him Sister Sarah put him in, I thought you never could get a Republican in your own state with two shots at it, Rubio against a turned republican and a local only dem. hard call, what about the ones that got in near recounts, good calls. The train wrecks on the loss side, good call Mort!
