GOP Pundits Trash Palin, But the Mic’s Still On!

By Eric on September 3, 2008

Peggy Noonan may write that Sarah Palin is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but let’s hear how she feels when she forgets that her mic is still on:

Rough transcript from Pandagon:

Murphy: You know, because I come out of the blue swing state government work. Engler, Whitman, Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. And these guys, this is all how you want to (inaudible) this race. You know, just run it up. And it’s not gonna work.
Noonan: It’s over.
Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.
Noonan: I saw Kay this morning
Todd: They’re all bummed out. I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?
Murphy: She’s never been comfortable.
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives and (inaudible) the picture.
Murphy: Yeah, but what’s the narrative?
Noonan: Every time the Republicans do that because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at and they blow it.
Murphy: You know what’s really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism
Todd: And as you called it gimmicky.
Murphy: … and this is cynicism.

But please, Peggy, tell us how you really feel?

Update: Shorter Peggy Noonan: Oh shit!
