Sarah Palin Pushes Back Against “Blue-Blood” Bushes

» 85 comments

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin says critical comments by people like former first lady Barbara Bush are the work of “blue-bloods” trying to thwart the “will of the people.”

On Laura Ingraham‘s radio show Wednesday, Palin specifically questioned the motives behind Mrs. Bush’s subtle dig about Palin in an interview with CNN’s Larry King: “She’s beautiful,” she tells King, but “she’s very happy in Alaska, and I hope she’ll stay there.”

Palin said to Ingraham:

I don’t want to concede that we have to get used to this kind of thing, because i don’t think the majority of Americans want to put up with the blue-bloods — and i want to say it will all due respect because I love the Bushes — the blue-bloods who want to pick and chose their winners instead of allowing competition.

Palin also goes on to throw an aside back at the blue-bloods with a mention of the family’s role in “the economic policies that were in place that got us into these economic woeful times.”

Perhaps no Palin fundraiser at the house in Kennebunkport?

(H/T Laura Ingraham)

    Yeah, I agree. Is there a Sarah Palin quota on this site? Just wait until she announces her bid for President. Be prepared to see articles about Sarah’s favorite flavor of Oatmeal…the Barbara Bush Quaker kind, lol.

  • Big Eddie

    No need to have a back and forth with the Quaker box lady . She’s had some life . A husband and son both who were pretty good presidents ,( Big Eddie is speaking for all Mediaite readers ) .

  • writer

    In a conciliatory gesture, Sarah said she’s always liked Quaker Oats.

    Sarah this is the beginning. You haven’t seen nothing yet. She’s been seeing a bit of Rove here and there, ahh, nothing Sarah nothing. Wait till you get to Primaries especially SC, ask your mentor Mccain what they did to him in 2000.

    You’ve made that complain more than mediaite’s actual posting of Sarah. In the same instances I’ve explained to you the process, still you prove to be this lame to take it in. Common, learn. Its called traffic, capiche?

  • iris

    Oh please God please let that stupid dipshit keep opening her mouth and let those vicious nasty right wing “blue bloods” and karl rove who have no conscience show her just how the game is played

  • writer

    Yeah, Iris. Barb is the first person to ever take a swipe at Palin. I’m sure this is all brand new to her.

  • Mr.Papshmer

    Palin is correct, and much to the chagrin of the Bush’s and Dole’s and McCain’s of the world, the Republican party has become much more populist and Libertarian. Palin has been a big part of that, and the old days of putting on a show on the floor of the senate or the house, and then retreating to the country club for drinks with Kennedy and Feingold are over.

    It isn’t a complaint, it’s an observation. And you can keep your explanations, or perhaps bestow them on a needy third grader. You’re not an astute person.

    So Barbara’s name isn’t Barbara. My bad.

    So why do you all think Mediaite posts all these Palin stories??? To increase traffic maybe??? So who do you think is drawn to Mediaite with all this Palin stuff Lefties or Righties??? Let me know what you think. Personally I think the traffic increases from those on the LEFT from all this Palin posting. They just love to hate. Makes them feel better/smatter… people with low self-esteem need that (Olbermann for example).

    Fact: Your logic in the post that you feel strongly about make as much since as the cast on ‘Sunny in Philadelphia’ and their actors!

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    When Palin refers to “the will of the people,” she’s referring to the reactionaries who support unqualified but attractive candidates like her, i.e., ignorant people.

    When Just4thefax write, “Fact,” you can be fairly confident that what follows is anything but. Just4thefax’s “facts” just don’t make “since.” D’OH!

  • writer

    Ladies and gentlemen, yet another post from GBR where he didn’t mention Beck. The withdrawal is hell, but we’re all pulling for him.

  • roxsteady

    Great sound bite Sarah. At least you can admit that it was your party that trashed this country. Now, don’t get mad when that one gets thrown back at you. And when she talks about the will of the people she should also remember that the majority of them have already rejected her as the VP and they’re still rejecting her against the current President. By the way, what’s the opposite of blue bloods? White Trash? Hm?

    She’s a moron. Why don’t you speak to that? I know it hurts you idiots but, these are the facts and while you’re enjoying Thanksgiving with your family, she’s out whoring her book for coin. You should grow up but, like Palin your weakass come backs are insipid at best.

    I think what you said was interesting… and I’m on the left. I believe if you look at the amount of thumbs up and down it’s one way to tell of the traffic. I don’t know how many objective voices on here though, and only those who aren’t objective will disagree to that. Sarah Palin is a third party unto herself. The left obviously wouldn’t want her anywhere near the White House, and neither would half the right. But she is, without a doubt, a polarizing figure. She is succeeding in completely annoying the left, at the same time she succeeds in becoming an annoyance to the right.
    There is no doubt, from what I’ve seen on here that she is blindly defended hard by the right. My opinion is that if Palin would have just said that she respects Barbara Bush and the Bush family and respects her opinion, but she feels she has more to offer to this country and it’s citizens… and if that takes her to a run for President then she hopes they respect her decision to do that. Good for everyone, right?
    But, we’re talking about Sarah Palin here, and you can’t tell her what is right and wrong. I took the time a few days ago to look up her bio. The one thing that stuck out to me about her is that you’re not allowed to disagree with her. If you do, you’re out. There is no room for debate with her.
    Left, right, whatever side you’re on. Take the time and look up her bio. I looked at Wikipedia.

    Fact: I use fact as a call sign of broadcast. Also I use it as a broadcast of fact that follows. Some people use call signs in communications like the US military or other International Entities or governments. Call signs project power when used in broadcasting like an Emergency Broadcast Alert. But it wasn’t passed on to the lollipop crowd of pants on the floor wearing my baseball cap sideways crowd. What’s it to you? Focus both eyes on my one finger salute!

    Pablo,

    Look Sarah was just a couple million votes shy of being John McCain’s Dick Cheney, and she has two books out, a reality show, a FOX News gig, millions in instant profits, her daughter is on Dancing with the Stars, and she seems to control the tea party vote. She would be a formidable opponent to any other republican candidate for president in 2012. So yes, she will be well covered for quite some time. Could she beat Obama? No. She is not popular as a presidential pick. But she could choose the next republican candidate, and force tea party agendas on the republican party.

    Palin appears to be trying to divide the nation into two camps — Intellectuals (as she sees them) vs. non-intellectuals (aka Joe 6-packs and hockey moms) — by distinguishing between those who received a sound college education at a respectable institution of higher learning (although not necessarily benefiting from the experience, as is evidenced in GWB) vs. those who either didn’t pursue a higher degree or attended “Hillbilly U” and majored in “Comunikashun and Jernulism Studies”.

    Her thesis seems to be that the less formal education you receive and the more ignorant you are about the details of the important issues impacting the nation, the better qualified you are to make the big decisions required by the POTUS.

    First I’ll compliment Sarah on her ability to exploit her 3 months of 2008 of fame. McCain took a chance on her and lost. Obviously, he was trying to present himself as more of a rogue than the normal mainstream Rep. As I and many other Americans saw it, as VP she was at best border line and the possibility of her becoming the President no way. I do not feel, as do many others, nothing has changed with her, nor will it in two years. She is great at standing on the sidelines and taking sniper shots at the current administration, but has she really come up with any new ideas? Yes, many people see her as someone they can relate to, but really is that who we want running the country or do we look to a person with more polish and have the capacity to deal with our many problems here and abroad? The point I feel Barbara Bush was trying to make is she may have enough following to split and weaken the Republican Party. That was demonstrated in the past elections. The Rep lost the Senate because of her influence.
    Personally I hope she gets nominated that will swing many independents to the Dem side. I know many of you folks on the right won’t agree with this logic and that is fine by me. We’ll have to wait to 2012 to know the real truth.

    It’s a shame Palin has gotten off to such an early start for her run for the Presidency, because she will burn out shortly after she’s made her mucho millions. There’s no way she could ever be elected President but the Democrats are praying that she’ll get the nomination. As bad as things are, the vast majority of people in this country are not going to allow a totally incompetent person to take charge. Her VP candidacy was probably the main reason Obama won.
    The spat with Barbara Bush is a clear indication that the Republicans know she’s a loser, and Barbara is no bargain either. In dealing with the Katrina refugees Barbara said something to the effect that these victms were underprivileged anyway and that this catastrophe was working very well for them because they were being fed at the Astrodome in Houston!
    Sarah Palin is a vacuous individual who was raised from a small state governor to a VP candidate by a foolish and desperate John McCain. Sarah has charisma, no doubt, but she thus far has come across as a dogmatic no nothing, totally wrapped up in her own needs. What she taps into is a large number of angry, discontented people who feel they’re being shunted aside by the ruling elites, and they’re right. The problem is that instead of going to the left and creating a genuine populist movement they’ve gotten all caught up with the worst of the rightwing elites – the Koch Brothers, Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich, Rupert Murdoch, Limbaugh, Beck, Ingraham, etc, and are cynically being used by these people who will dispense with them once they’ve retained the power they crave. What a bunch of losers.

The Liberal / Rockefeller Wing of the GOP is overrun with Bush-lite types who think that the Republican Party is an extension of their country club; just another venue to carry on business.

    They use conservative party philosophy and standard to get elected, then promptly jettison them. (“Read my lips: No New Taxes!’:; and, under Bush 43, the biggest expansion in government since The Great Society.)

    I’ve never had much time for Sarah Palin, but on this, she is precisely on target. And its long past due.

    You go, girlfriend!

    You are an example of STUPID. I have no other accounts here. You have no idea what you are talking about.
    Have you ever run a political campaign? I have.
    Have you ever owned a business? I have.
    Have you ever been a guest at the White House? I have.
    Have you ever been selected “Citizen of the Year”? I have.
    Have you ever produced and written TV or radio ads? I have.
    Have you ever been an aide to and elected leader of a state assembly? I have.
    Have you ever been elected president of a business association? I have.
    Have you ever had been a guest on a radio or TV show in Chicago, San Francisco, Oakland or Denver? I have.
    Now when you can give me a list of anything you have done that can be verified with a real name instead of the phony one that you use people might take your ignorant remarks seriously.

    You make yourself look like a fool when you shoot off your mouth. Now go back and play with your crayons.

    Seriously man…. You have cracked me up to no end this evening.

    Your resume of narcissism is one for the books.

    Who’s political campaign? Joe McCarthy? It doesn’t matter.
    I do own a business.
    Anyone can be a guest at the White House. It’s called a tour.
    I’ve never been citizen of the year, but I was recently named Mediate’s Village Idiot for 2010 by you (thanks, by the way).
    Was that your ad featuring Christine O’Donnell starting off “I’m not a witch”? Brilliant!!!

    As for the rest… well, who really cares.

    If I’m such a fool then why do you feel the need to prove yourself to me, or anyone for that matter? Insecurity is an issue that can be helped by some of the best stuff the pharmaceutical industry has to offer. I suggest you speak with your doctor and find out which is best for you. I think your medicare will pay for it.
    My phony name must really get to you. Knowing my real name would do nothing for you. I have absolutely nothing to prove to you and I’m perfectly secure with my life. And let me tell you something sir…. Even if I were living under a bridge, in a ripped up old sleeping bag stuffed with newspapers, eating the scraps out of a tuna fish can, wearing a jacket stitched together out of 3 other jackets, and posting my comments here using a cell phone that some drunk college kid happened to drop near me, I would still be more fulfilled and feel more secure than you do.

    Oh, and crayons are AWESOME!!!

    There’s no way she could ever be elected President but the Democrats are praying that she’ll get the nomination. As bad as things are, the vast majority of people in this country are not going to allow a totally incompetent person to take charge. Her VP candidacy was probably the main reason Obama won.

    What? Where do ya get THAT from?
    Democrats are screaming for Palin NOT to run.
    Just ask if a total incompetent has ever been elected.
    People voted for Obama because of Hillary, not Palin.

    I think my favorite is her taking a shot at Michelle because she’s concerned about the rise in obesity among children.

    Dam Government overreach. Next thing you know they’ll be recommending healthy snacks and things like gym class and shit.

    The Bushes can, and may, destroy her. Let’s hope.

Having sympathy for the weak and confused in society today there’s hope that you can find free help in adjusting to the big world around you without no fault of your own.

    I don’t want to concede that we have to get used to this kind of thing, because i don’t think the majority of Americans want to put up with the blue-bloods — and i want to say it will all due respect because I love the Bushes — the blue-bloods who want to pick and chose their winners instead of allowing competition

    Oh my lord. When will this womans stupidity end?

    Seriously, do you work for Palin? You do a wonderful job at taking what someone has pointed out about you and then calling them out for the same thing, only unjustified on your behalf.

    The way your argument seems to play out in the plainest of terms would be… “I know you are, but what am I?” You are truly a genius of the first grade level. I applaud you.

    Keep on trying. Someday you’ll make it.
    Gobble gobble.

    Stupid Sarah. The Bushes have never, ever been “Blue Bloods.” Just social climbers who made lotsa bucks & tried/try to role=play. Never contributed a thing to society. Cheap, unsophisticated Little People. Who wouldn’t give a prune to a constipated goose!

    Mr.Papshmer says:
    “Palin is correct, and much to the chagrin of the Bush’s and Dole’s and McCain’s of the world, the Republican party has become much more populist and Libertarian.”

    By “populist and Libertarian” you mean reactionary, the direction is backward toward the 19th Century, just like Glenn Beck wants to push the country.

    “I’m not obsessed with Glenn Beck!”, says the man who uses Glenn Beck in his screen name. LOL

    “writer” says:

    “’I’m not obsessed with Glenn Beck!’, says the man who uses Glenn Beck in his screen name.”

    At least my screen name reflects what I’m about there “writer.” You should change your screen name to Shallow One-liner Beckerhead.

    Have you taken the 40 day pledge that your master is suggesting yet “writer?”

    “And relevant to you, obviously, or you wouldn’t bother commenting on a Palin story.

    I thought you progs were supposed to be smart and enlightened? Where the fuck were you on that one, homes?”

    Where was I on Barbara Bush telling Palin to stay in Alaska? You’re implying that progressives should have jumped in to the divisions on the right? Why? Better, in my view, to stand back and enjoy the right wing division.

    Once in a while, Mr. Papshmer as a gun, you need to make some sense. I think an intelligent exchange with is possible, or I used to think that. Now that a gun is your avatar, I’m have come to doubt it.
