Quotes of the day
posted at 10:40 pm on November 16, 2009 by Allahpundit
“‘I was told not to discuss Obama’s pastor of twenty years, Jeremiah ‘God Damn America’ Wright,’ Palin writes in the book. ‘I will forever question the campaign for prohibiting discussion of such associations. All the more since these telltale signs of Obama’s views, carefully concealed with centrist campaign-speak, have now been brought into light by his appointments and actions in office.’”
***
“John McCain asked former campaign staffers Friday to avoid engaging in a back-and-forth over claims made by former running mate Sarah Palin in her new book, CNN has confirmed.
“On a conference call with senior campaign advisers, the former Republican presidential candidate asked them to hold back from responding – telling them, in effect, that ‘this too shall pass,’ according to sources familiar with the call.”
***
“Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who spoke to The Hill Monday evening, denied Sarah Palin’s allegation that his campaign stuck her with a $50,000 legal bill to pay for the cost of vetting her as a potential vice presidential candidate…
“‘That was addressed by Trevor Potter,’ said McCain, ‘That was over the troopergate.’…
“McCain told The Hill that he nevertheless enjoyed Palin’s book.
“‘I hope she sells lots of them,’ he said.”
***
“‘This time, there wasn’t a family vote,’ Palin told Winfrey. ‘Other steps in my political life, I’ve polled the kids, and I have abided by some of the results of the polls that the kids have partaken in. This time, no.’
“But in September of 2008, Palin told an entirely different story to Fox News’ Sean Hannity.”

I like Jindal very much but I’m not cutting him or anyone else any slack. I agree with Norwegian.
beachgirlusa on November 17, 2009 at 12:40 AM
At some point, Sarah Palin will be taken seriously.
Does anyone remember all of the wisecracks about Reagan before November, 1980?
TIME magazine refused to treat him seriously even after two terms…
…so in the scheme of things, who was serious and who was seriously mistaken?
hillbillyjim on November 17, 2009 at 12:44 AM
I don’t see it as McCain taking the high road, I see it as him being chicken afraid of Sarah. I don’t know if the “this too shall pass” comment was made by him but what an insult. McCain and his staff, losers every one.
beachgirlusa on November 17, 2009 at 12:45 AM
We need to do something about Politico. They keep getting more and more leftist all the time. I wish HotAir staff would call them out on some of this crap. It’s a little too cozy for me. We, the readership, also need to start waging war over there if that’s what it takes.
voxpopuli on November 17, 2009 at 12:55 AM
I agree with Speedwagon. At that point, about all you COULD do was build Obama up higher and higher — all the harder and faster to make him fall. It actually seems to be working rather well, among the key constitutiency, independents.
voxpopuli on November 17, 2009 at 12:57 AM
Maybe so, but regardless he still took the high road no matter what his motivation was. It was the right thing to do.
Dollayo on November 17, 2009 at 1:02 AM
I give credit to Jug-eared Jesus Himself. He has engineered his own fall from grace by His own damn self, unwittingly, by sticking to his liberal guns on Porkulus, health care, and the pitifully flailing response to the jobs crisis (and it is a crisis, whether or not y’all realize it yet).
Not to mention his embarrassing performance on the international stage.
hillbillyjim on November 17, 2009 at 1:04 AM
It’s not taking the high road if one’s motive isn’t sincere. Mc is just trying to save his ass, as usual.
beachgirlusa on November 17, 2009 at 1:08 AM
SheetAnchor on November 16, 2009 at 11:45 PM
Now there you go being all rational and stuff. Didn’t you hear from Andrew Sullivan that if Palin says something that you can construe in any way as potentially contradictory with something else you believe or have heard, or may have think you’ve heard, or that somebody else might think they’ve understood, then it’s a LIE, proving that Palin is a clear and present danger to us all?
CK MacLeod on November 17, 2009 at 1:09 AM
McCain probably believed that he was doing the “right thing”, but it was definitely not the right thing if it was tremendously detrimental to our nation, as it has turned out to be.
His “kid gloves” campaign was a disaster for his party, and more importantly, for the nation that he fought for.
John McCain showed monumental courage in Vietnam, and he should be revered for his courage and resilience, but that does not make him immune to criticism if he chooses to inject himself into national politics.
Arizona, you need to hang a right turn.
hillbillyjim on November 17, 2009 at 1:16 AM
This may not be the right thread but….
Cheney/Palin 2012 !!!!!
(Wouldn’t THAT one chap the lefts backside?)
James Moriarty on November 17, 2009 at 1:16 AM
Palin has shown that she is a natural leader. It’s very difficult for a leader to assume a follower role but unfortunately that is the route for someone in the vice presidential role.
docdave on November 17, 2009 at 1:22 AM
Cheney could do the thinking part of the job with his eyes closed, but the political part would be a problem. The man speaks the plain truth too easily.
hillbillyjim on November 17, 2009 at 1:22 AM
Agreed. I’ve always given him credit for his military service but that’s as far it goes.
beachgirlusa on November 17, 2009 at 1:23 AM
Which is why I admire him.
beachgirlusa on November 17, 2009 at 1:24 AM
Same here. I only wish that the electorate were wise enough to vote for such a man.
hillbillyjim on November 17, 2009 at 1:30 AM
Bingo.
The Republican Party under the banner of the McCain Democrats
surrendered the field to the opposition.
McCain failed his country.
If the loyal opposition party is not going to call their opponents to account for themselves then GTFOH and nominate someone who will.
rickyricardo on November 17, 2009 at 1:31 AM
Excellent point! The double standard being used when it relates to Sarah is driving me crazy!
lovingmyUSA on November 17, 2009 at 1:37 AM
Palin is fine but please, no more big government “conservatives”

Much of McCain’s campaign awkwardness and the misuse of a great asset like Palin can be explained by the Schmidt on his shoes.
viking01 on November 17, 2009 at 2:01 AM
We The People need to understand what exact mind-set under which our duly-elected President is operating.
Why Jeremiah Wright and Bill ‘splodeyboy Ayers weren’t fair game in the news in the fight for our highest office is beyond my understanding.
McCain may have been a warrior at one time, but he sure as hell dropped the ball in ’08.
I have yet to understand why the Hate-Church of Wright was not brought before the people by the mainstream media, who are supposed to be the buffer between freedom and tyranny.
hillbillyjim on November 17, 2009 at 2:04 AM
If Ojesus keeps sticking his finger up his xxx, this may yet turn out well, but our future is too precious a thing to leave up to chance.
Talk to your neighbors and co-workers; convince them why they should vote next November and why they should vote for conservative candidates who want to preserve our country instead of transforming it into an imaginary socialist utopia.
hillbillyjim on November 17, 2009 at 2:10 AM
You won’t hear me defending the inept campaign that McCain ran. He did everything backwards and wrong. You should consolidate you’re base first and then go after the independents at the end to pull out a victory. McCain thought his “maverick” RINOism would get the independents first and then his pick of Sarah at the end would consolidate his base. By the time the base was motivated (with the selection of Palin) Obama had already wow’d the spineless independents. McCain then tried to put a lid on Palin in a pathetic attempt to win the middle over at the last minute. Not to mention his utterly foolish move to suspend his campaign to go back to congress and straighten everything out after working there for over a decade. He sealed his own fate.
Dollayo on November 17, 2009 at 2:52 AM
As an outsider looking in, I have to decide who I believe. On one hand, I can believe Palin, who strikes me as genuine and honest. On the other hand, I can believe Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace, who spin for a living and who led one of the most incompetent campaigns ever.
Hmmmmmm. I’m going with Palin.
BuckeyeSam on November 17, 2009 at 3:06 AM
Me too Sam.
Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace just want to save their A$$. Spinning is their livelihood. I think it is too late, only a fool would hire them now.
IowaWoman on November 17, 2009 at 5:29 AM
Does not respond when his campaign staffers are hitting Palin, he is being mean to poor Sarah, when he refuses to engage Palin hitting him back and when he tells his staffers to cool it, he is a coward. Whatever.
Squid Shark on November 17, 2009 at 5:47 AM
I am sure Palin has never spun in her life.
It is funny and sad in the same breath. Whenever someone attacks Sarah, they are being SO MEAN and SEXIST. However when it is Sarah on the attack and someone refuses to hit back because it is (rightly) bad for the party and the country, he is a COWARD for refusing to get into the mud with her.
Squid Shark on November 17, 2009 at 5:53 AM
You just described his campaign…you, without knowing, hit it out of the ball park.
Because he had no consistent message, because the message he settled on was shifting…at times attack, other times lay back, it confused many voters. Unfortunately the times he attacked (like when he decisively stopped campaigning during the economic crisis), was out of synch with what should have been done. Like not attacking and uncovering Obama’s radical history, and painting him as a stealth radical that he is…not exposing his ACORN campaign ties, etc.
You didn’t mean to, but you showed us through his handling of Palin, how inconsistent and erratic his message was.
Palin exposed McCain, and some find fault in that. In exposing McCain, McCain lost…he should have spent more time exposing Obama. She was ready for the fight, he wanted to dance…
right2bright on November 17, 2009 at 6:40 AM
ditto
cmsinaz on November 17, 2009 at 6:40 AM
Added note…when the economic crisis developed, and he had a chance to expose the dems as being at the forefront…blocking bills, sleeping with the gay lover of Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac, whichever), pushing for low interest loans and blocking Republican efforts, McCain stood silent.
He had his chance to go on the offensive and he chose to back away. Why? Because of his loyalty to the status quo, and less to the U.S.
right2bright on November 17, 2009 at 6:44 AM
spot on on both posts…
cmsinaz on November 17, 2009 at 6:48 AM
Funny! on GMA this morning they asked Stephie Stephanopolous what John McCain is thinking about Sarah these days. Leftist schnook Stephie is now McCain’s spokesman. Figures. Hey Stephie, please tell Mac to hang it up.
james23 on November 17, 2009 at 7:19 AM
Schmidt is just reminding everyone why he should never again get within 300 yards of any Presidential campaign.
james23 on November 17, 2009 at 7:20 AM
McCain had the classic case of Senator-itis: that disease which afflicts many members of the U.S. Senate so that they value colleagiality above fighting for their principles.
I remember McCain telling us that when he was President he would make the big spenders “famous” and that “we would know their names.” He never explained why he had to wait until he became President before naming names.
In his heart, McCain thought it was a great honor to lose to the first African American President.
PackerBronco on November 17, 2009 at 7:26 AM
Its almost as if McCain was kamikazing his own
bid for President,and all along,”Friends,join me
and fight”,was the rallying cry,and yet for every
damaging bit of information that McCain could of
used against Obama,he did absolutely nothing,leav
ing pundits and supporters,and blogs perplexed and
stunned,as if there was some outside force that was
stopping it!!
And yet,SarahCuda was fueled,armed and ready for poli
tical war,and for some unknown reason,told to stand
down!!!
Unfreaggin,unbelievable!!
canopfor on November 17, 2009 at 7:31 AM
Anyone with a family knows that “the family decision” shifts with time given experience, particularly when abruptly awakened from idealism.
That Palin’s children were naively excited to be CHOSEN part of McCain’s ticket is most likely. Just as likely was their disillusionment to be CHOSEN for abuse by the media, suffering particularly with the insipid McCain standing by impotently, not being half the man their own father is so far as the Palin children’s experience went, protecting innocense. After all, McCain has no such innocence reflected within his Meghan.
Palin’s unified family going from “all for it” to “hell yes” getting out of the media’s gun-sights is totally understandable. Even if the world falls down around them, the Palins have loyalty to each other and practical common sense as to what’s best for their own private lives after being raped by America, and how best to survive with the values they enjoy: patriotic faith in God and America through love of family and friends.
SO FAR AS A QUOTE OF THE DAY GOES, LOOK AT NY GOV. PATERSON.
“This is not a decision that I would have made.”
Regarding Pres.Obama demanding the terrorists be tried in NYC, saying that “This is not a decision that I would have made” is INSIPID, WEAK, and an IMPOTENT response to something that must be repudiated, not simply denigrated.
“I wouldn’t have done that” does not convey “Hell no, you can’t do that. I won’t let you! There’s no excuse for you to attempt that because it is absolutely wrong! NO WAY will NY permit any administration to try the 9/11 terrorists in NY civil courts!”
“Not on my watch” is the midpoint between “I wouldn’t have done that” and “Never!” and Paterson has yet to utter those words. Why not give it the drama this deserves with “Over my dead body!” All eyes then on Paterson, he’d have the people’s support that he lacks for the obvious reasons today.
maverick muse on November 17, 2009 at 7:42 AM
Pointing out that Sarah Palin contradicts herself is sexist.
Proud Rino on November 17, 2009 at 7:55 AM
I for one will never forgive the McCain campaign for not exposing BO’s radical background during the campaign. McCain owed it to the country to let the sun shine on Barack Obama before it was too late. In the name of the ‘high road’ or some other mush-headed excuse, he let us down.
petefrt on November 17, 2009 at 7:56 AM
So you’re saying that the media and Mccains staff does a good job , thats apparently a lie.
the_nile on November 17, 2009 at 7:57 AM
That would be a smart move for the GOP. But how smart have they been?
If they would not consider doing that, I think Sarah should “Go Rogue” and have an independent/conservatice (call it what you will) response to the SOTU.
I can hear them howling already.
davidk on November 17, 2009 at 7:58 AM

Palin did. And we did in order to protect the principles that Palin represented, that McCain presumed to represent. Conservatives are sadly hurting from McCain’s self defeating behaviors and decisions. Every conservative who joined to help McCain was wounded by McCain, Inc.
Sen.John McCain has always lacked the quality of character to study, acknowledge and learn from mistakes made in battle in order to further the cause of the Constitution’s preservation. He’s stuck on self defense. His father, the admiral, would have kept staff in line. And when all was said and done in defeat, the admiral would rake over all the data to perfectly clarify where things broke down in order to correct the situation and prevent the breakdown from reoccurring. John never did that as potus candidate. The only scrutiny John McCain has ever practiced is in how to cross dress from standing in as war hero senate candidate replacing Goldwater to the RINO he has always been. Coming out is not so difficult these days, rather a matter of celebration by liberal radicals whom McCain prefers. Perverted mind sets excite the old man who returned from the severe torture of his Vietnam POW Camp to ride the gravy train of corruption. Shame.
maverick muse on November 17, 2009 at 7:58 AM
That’s why Biden is perfect in the role. No real power unless Obama takes a bullet (unlikely), the chance to be an Obama-fellating lapdog (his natural state) and a neverending source of humor for the rest of us.
SKYFOX on November 17, 2009 at 7:59 AM
Spending your life nagging at Palin while the nation is destroyed by obama liberals and rinos , is at best folish at worst evil betrayal.
the_nile on November 17, 2009 at 8:00 AM
I’m sorry but McCain has never taken the “high road” when it comes to Palin. You clearly mistake letting one’s underlings do the dirty work with some sort of ethical behavior. McCain’s staffers have been as underhanded as they could be, complete with anonymous smear campaigns while McCain remained above the fray instead of telling his people to knock it off.
highhopes on November 17, 2009 at 8:02 AM
McCain owed it to the nation and his nominal party to offer a different viewpoint than the Democrats. Instead, McCain ran as a white version of Obama’s centrist campaign positions (all jettisoned the minute the filthy lying coward won office). He didn’t let us down, he betrayed us and I’m hopeful that the good people of Arizona tell the bastard where he can go in his next election.
highhopes on November 17, 2009 at 8:05 AM
“This too shall pass.” No f8cking kidding, Johnny. Thanks to McCain, we got the white washed propaganda endorsement FOR Obama.
Scrutinize McCain for political cover-ups, because he showed his cards during his potus campaign. McCain’s addicted to gambling against the Constitution with the conservative American as his collateral. The dare devil in him motivates the inner implosion, just how far can you go syndrome.
John’s complex daddy issue with the Admiral was to cover one’s ass, and everyone else’s ass as well because there’s no way the Admiral could make all hands walk the plank.
Loser weak-spined mentality.
maverick muse on November 17, 2009 at 8:07 AM
I know it’s a Duhhhh moment, but if they would have let her attack the real Barack Obama during the campaign, we would not be suffering under his failed leadership now. By the way, all you Trolls need to go back under your bridges. The sun is coming up.
kingsjester on November 17, 2009 at 8:08 AM
Obama’s Titanic approval rating is sinking, doomed.
maverick muse on November 17, 2009 at 8:10 AM
I’m wondering if McCain really was that out of touch when it came to Obama (the raging leftist part). I think anyone who has been in DC too long becomes incredibly detached from reality. I think, perhaps some folks took him aside and pointed to what Obowma is doing, reminded him that this was partially his fault, and to STFU about Palin.
I also think the actions of Mr. I Won and that of Pelosi and co would disgust even a maverick, bipartisan maverick like The Maverick.
reaganaut on November 17, 2009 at 8:10 AM
Again, we are arguing-excuse me-gossiping about Sarah Palin. Kudos to Allahpundit and uh, CBS News for really getting after another Palin scoop!
Alfresco on November 17, 2009 at 8:12 AM
McCain has been yapping after the fact he got elected , how Obama doesn’t keep his promises, duh…..

canopfor on November 17, 2009 at 8:17 AM
McCain’s approval rating sank with his personal decision to ENABLE and even direct the perpetuation of the abuse that his staff dealt to the Palins.
Sadistically, McCain requires a scapegoat close at hand to torture.
McCain’s “My Friend” mantra equates to “Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly.”
maverick muse on November 17, 2009 at 8:18 AM
To begin with, as a senator, McCain’s mental acuity was challenged at best. His emotional disturbances aside, compound McCain’s physically innate inability to reason by logic with the drugs under which his appearances reflect, and one begins to clearly see McCain with candor.
maverick muse on November 17, 2009 at 8:25 AM
Consider who has done the most to expose “filthy liars” filthy lies since the election. McCain or Palin. No contest. John just went back to his incestuous relationship with fellow senators while Palin began exposing Obama’s lies. McCain’s day in the sun is past. Sarah’s is just beginning.
donh525 on November 17, 2009 at 8:30 AM
Part of McCains problem is being in the senate. I think there is a senatorial disease. A contagion if you will. You may not have it when you get there but your going to catch it sooner or later. Egotism.
donh525 on November 17, 2009 at 8:42 AM
And McCain has a problem of his own in that he’s lost one of his favorite public platforms, Letterman.
After the Letterman harassment and adultery scandal, McCain has to stay away. All he has left is the Sunday talk shows where he can allegedly represent the Republican point of view.
Wethal on November 17, 2009 at 8:49 AM
Jim DeMint is on record as saying that’s why he tried to get home every weekend if he can. He knows what can happen if one is cut off from one’s old community and only surrounded by the DC cocktail circuit gang.
Wethal on November 17, 2009 at 8:50 AM
McCain is more guilty than the MSM for not vetting Obowma; He had more authority and responsibility to expose him for the farce he really is.
Cybergeezer on November 17, 2009 at 8:56 AM
McCain pontificates like Obowma; McCain, too, shall pass!

I tend to believe Sarah when looking back at the immigration king throwing his pastor John Hagee to the curb in an attempt to side step the Jerimiah issue. McCain has lead a good life but needs to put his political aspirations aside, he lost….He and his aids and his staff lost, plain and simple. It was his to win and they blew it. His kissing CBS’s and the MSMs ass does nothing for him. Bye Bye John

Excellent observation.
beachgirlusa on November 17, 2009 at 9:21 AM
There are two stories, but I’m not sure why they seem to think that they contradict each other.

Don’t you folks know this will piss Lindsey Goober Graham off and his liberal RINO friends!
bluegrass on November 17, 2009 at 9:56 AM
Hagee was never his pastor.
And Hagee is bats&^t crazy.
Squid Shark on November 17, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Just went and read what she told Hannity – hard to work up a great deal of anguish over the two versions. Given the pass Biden always got on his hometown stories, Hillary got on her sniper fire stories, Obama on his meeting the little woman stories.
I’m lazy – did CBS do a Fact Check article on those stories?
katiejane on November 17, 2009 at 10:48 AM
But Wright was the jugeared messiah’s pastor (for 20 years) and that my friend is really bats&^t crazy.
Why don’t you focus your attention on that one since you are obviously a Christian apologist.
OkieDoc on November 17, 2009 at 11:10 AM
I’m glad republicans are, once again, getting behind McCain and putting Sarah on the hot seat. Not.
Could someone please wake the party up and inform them that McCain LOST because he was a bad candidate. The only reason he got the votes he did was because he had Sarah as VP.
No, she’s not perfect, but she’s a heck of a lot better than McCain. And she’s MUCH better than the feller many republicans are starting to shove down our throats: Huckabee.
All you “moderate” republicans had best wake up. We lost in 2008 because we were TOO moderate. If you want to stop Obama in 2012, you’d better get back to core conservatism. Otherwise we’re going to be looking at another for years of American destruction.
Mad Mad Monica on November 17, 2009 at 11:43 AM
He is, I dont think that there is any debate about Wright being crazy. Saying that here would be like shouting in an echo chamber. I was pointing out that McCain was right to dump Hagee off the endorsement list.
BTW, real mature with the changing of my name.
Squid Shark on November 17, 2009 at 11:53 AM
I would love to see some real hard statistical proof of this.
I agree that he fumbled the ball, but there was not a whole lot he could have done different. You guys think that hammering Wright would have been helpful, I disagree, history was pushing alot of the people that pulled the lever for Obama. I contend it would not have made enough difference and the Republican still would have lost. I dont have the hard statistical proof. But Wright was out there, Ayers was out there, all the info about his voting record ws out there on easily accessible sources. I dont think that McCain “hammering” it would have changed alot of minds.
Squid Shark on November 17, 2009 at 11:58 AM
Hey, just having some fun Squiddy, that’s was my immediate reaction when I saw your moniker, not personal.
As to your other points,

“The only reason he got the votes he did was because he had Sarah as VP.” Mad Mad Monica on November 17, 2009 at 11:43 AM
“I would love to see some real hard statistical proof of this.”
OkieDoc on November 17, 2009 at 12:34 PM
I could never understand why McCain suppressed those associations in his campaign, not only with Jeremiah Wright, but also with Kenyan radicals, Bill Ayers, ACORN, and other Chicago radicals. Since the mainstream media covered up for Obama, it was up to the McCain/Palin campaign to dig up dirt and expose Obama for who he is.
After all the mud thrown at the relatively clean Sarah Palin, why NOT bring Obama’s skeletons out of his closet, before they become czars in the White House?
Steve Z on November 17, 2009 at 12:36 PM
Something like the hard statistical proof of how many jobs were saved or created by Porkulus?
Steve Z on November 17, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Here is the thing though, I think that there were also plenty of indies who would have otherwise voted for McCain that didnt because of her, my dad (who had not voted Dem his entire life) did just that. I think that number could have been just as high. Which means that making a statement like “he would not have gotten as many votes as he did without her” is dishonest at best without some real hard numbers.
Not what I was asking, nice deflection though.
Squid Shark on November 17, 2009 at 12:46 PM
How many Christian Conservative really follow Hagee that closely?
Squid Shark on November 17, 2009 at 12:47 PM
Sarah is on Rush RIGHT NOW
Blacksmith8 on November 17, 2009 at 1:15 PM
Yo bubba, you got schmidt on your shoes. Heh.
Blacksmith8 on November 17, 2009 at 1:43 PM
Exactly, if he believed in his heart that he was the man for the job, it should have been “We’ll win this!” Then spend the energy and resources to make sure the word gets out and who not to vote for. Instead he played the “I may have to work with these scumbags again, I better play nice” card.
Keeps me wondering how McShame and Obooboo are both members of the CFR.
Blacksmith8 on November 17, 2009 at 1:50 PM
Squid Shark on November 17, 2009 at 10:40 AM
You stick with the Muslim and Wright and I’ll side with Hagee. My point was McCain was quick to defend Bambi and the GD America preacher while ditching others obviously just as you are!
bluegrass on November 17, 2009 at 2:13 PM
No one said that I was “sticking” with Wright. I dont know who you are referring to when you say “the Muslim” I will assume you mean the President.
Hagee was not McCains Pastor, he was just some nut who endorsed him. I dont think McCain defended anything Wright said, just that his Pastor was not a campaign issue, which in itself is true. Given the totality of the circumstances, however, it was an issue.
