More Quote of the Day Honorable Mentions, Part 63

*
"Experience Matters" Edition...

Don Surber:
"For 53 days, President Obama has done 2 things: Talk tough and walk away... We also know how President Sarah Palin would have handled it... She has dealt with oil companies before. And federal regulators who look the other way. Experience matters."
Josh Gerstein:
"Ending days of speculation and criticism about why the president has not met or spoken with top officials of the company responsible for the oil spill off the Gulf Coast, the White House Thursday invited BP’s chairman of the board and other senior managers to meet with Barack Obama in Washington... Obama’s reluctance to go mano-a-mano with BP also generated political heat. In a Facebook post Tuesday, former Republican Vice Presidential Candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin scoffed at the president’s explanation on NBC and mocked the press for taking so long to press the president on the issue."
Maggie's Notebook:
"Obama won't humble himself, so Sarah Palin did it for him in the eyes of the world. Suggesting that a U.S. President needs a little humility is something we haven't had to think about since Monica's blue dress."
Chris Stirewalt:
"Staying in the defensive crouch, the administration is acceding to the wishes of Sarah Palin... and summoning BP to the White House. Obama will attend, but only for part of the session, and Hayward will be there, but is not named specifically in the Coast Guard commander’s letter. What a bunch of handwringers these Obamanauts are."
J.R. Dunn:
"Bobby Jindal wanted to build a series of berms along the Louisiana coast... The governor heard nothing from the feds for weeks as oil began to saturate the coastal wetlands. Then, far to the north, Sarah the Huntress raised her fearsome fingers to tweet a message south: Gov.Jindal: to avoid ravished coast, build the berms. Ask forgiveness later;Feds are slow to act, local leadership&action can do more for coast. Only then did the administration at last break its silence to order British Petroleum to pay for five berms. Why this could not have happened a month ago is anybody's guess, as is the question as to why they did not agree to the sixteen berms that Jindal says are necessary. The Deepwater Horizon disaster is a twofer: the worst environmental disaster on record matched with most incompetent response. And all on the watch of America's greenest president. Who'd have ever guessed?"
Right Turn Forever:
"Our beloved President really did not need to talk to some Louisiana fishermen to learn how to 'kick some (expletive deleted).' All he needed to do to get attention is follow the Sarah Palin strategy, on Facebook, of all places... Palin packs quite a punch with her no-nonsense straight-talk. She has set the national debate more than once, starting with her “Death Panel” commentary. Her clout was proven once again after the Tuesday elections. She backed winners. Sarah Palin will be a force to be reckoned with moving toward the November elections."
Bruce Walker:
"Ideology, not political party, and much less gender, guides voters today. Feminists do not lift a finger to help Sarah Palin when she is pilloried with the vilest sort of harassment. Michele Bachmann, another rising star in the Republican Party, is getting noticed precisely because she is an articulate, brave, and joyful conservative -- but none of the dreary groups pretending to champion women is touting her for higher office, or even reelection."
Stacy Drake:
"Governor Palin’s endorsements are getting downplayed in the media and from pundits and politico’s on both the left and 'right' side of the aisle... Candidates [from] around the nation are asking for, and receiving endorsements from Governor Palin. If this woman had no sway or had 'too many negatives' why on earth would candidates be tripping over themselves to get an endorsement? It doesn’t make sense on any rational level but these are Governor Palin’s detractor’s after all. Since when have they ever been rational?"
William A. Jacobson:
"I would like to pronounce the left-wing mockery of Sarah Palin's supposed breast enlargement surgery as the final nail in the coffin of liberal feminism. But there are no nails left. They all have been used in prior liberal misogyny directed at Sarah Palin."
Cassy Fiano:
"One would think that feminists would rejoice to see women victorious in political elections. But today’s feminism is not after equality; the movement has been hijacked by rabid fascist feminists. These new feminists... want unlimited taxpayer-funded abortions available right up until the moment of birth, universal health care, universal day care, open borders, a weaker military, massive welfare systems, the government taking the place of fathers in families — basically anything you can think of to destroy western civilization. So it isn’t altogether surprising that these fascist feminists would show such vitriol towards conservative women like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann."
Philip Rucker:
"Nikki Haley, the would-be Republican governor of South Carolina, has met many well-known people lately who want to be her friend. One of them is Sarah Palin, who enthusiastically endorsed her... Palin's endorsement worked: Haley's poll numbers jumped... If she wins the runoff, Palin and her other new friends will be there to help her campaign -- and raise enormous sums of money -- in a race against Democrat Vincent Sheheen."
Michael Walsh:
"What is it about Sarah Palin that drives the left nuts? They hate everything about her, and yet at the same time they can’t stop talking about her. Like a succubus, she haunts their fever dreams, visits them in their sleep, and sucks the life force out of them. No matter what she does, what she says, or where she goes, Sarah is an object of endless fascination to the 'progressives,' who hate her with a mad passion, cower in fear of her awesome endorsement powers and well… just can take their eyes off her..."
Conservatism With Heart:
"Women are proving to be more of a factor than anyone knew; and for those Sarah Palin haters and doubters, Palin Power is proving to be quite potent."
Larry Kudlow:
"Carly Fiorina's model is about entrepreneurship, growth and opportunity -- the basic American values of economic freedom that have been shunted aside in our nation's capital... Benefiting enormously from a campaign endorsement by Sarah Palin, Fiorina is also pro-life, pro-traditional-marriage, pro-free-trade and very tough on border security in the immigration debate. But as pollster Kellyanne Conway told me Tuesday night on CNBC, Fiorina is a new kind of Republican woman. She is not running on so-called gender issues, but rather on fiscal-and-economic-growth issues, at a time when the economy is barely recovering from a long and painful downturn... That's why Carly Fiorina can win."
American Digest:
"Seems to me what the Left should be asking is not if Sarah Palin's pair has grown, but when their president plans to grow a pair."
Moonbattery:
"Sarah Palin had a pretty good night last Tuesday. Candidates she endorsed won in California, South Carolina, and [Iowa]. This has led right-wing bloggers to write about her influence within the Republican party, and has led left-wing bloggers to launch a new internet rumor... If you wanna know why the left is so bitter and nasty toward attractive Republican women, consider their women for a second."
Greta Van Susteren:
"Where are the feminists on this one? Why are they not objecting to this media obsession with Palin's breasts? Is it just because they don't agree with Palin on policy that they are willing to let a women -- which really means all women -- take a hit on this stuff?"
Rick Moore:
"This was all started by the obsessively anti-Palin/anti-conservative website Wonkette, and frankly I've had it with their emotional and political immaturity."
Ed Morrissey:
"Once again, the national media reduces a strong woman in politics to her bust size... Fox News, meanwhile, engages Palin on substance regarding the oil spill in the Gulf. She talks about her challenge to Barack Obama, and criticizes the blanket drilling moratorium on deep-sea drilling Obama imposed in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon blowout. She demonstrates her first-class grasp of the drilling issue and rips the MMS for not catching the fact that BP’s disaster plan for Gulf drilling got obviously lifted from other regional work as boilerplate."
Ace of Spades HQ:
"The left is focused on the two boobs under Sarah Palin's blouse, while the right is focused on the two boobs sitting in the Oval Office and in whatever broom closet they've converted to an office for Sheriff Joe Biden. Which strategy do you think will pay dividends in November?"

  1. Meanwhile, while the left is off looking at Sarah Palin's boobs, the oil continues to spill into the Gulf of Mexico and the rag tag clean-up effort continues to meander. - Obama: America's Big Mistake.
