Karl Rove Not Keen on Palin Reality Show: Where's the 'Gravitas'?

Even Karl Rove gets it. Sarah Palin is running, full speed ahead for the cliff, but doesn't know it. John McCain and the Republicans created this monster, now they don't know how to make it stop. This situation would be amusing if it were not so pathetic. Sarah Palin is not uniting America with ideas for a better way forward. She is muddying the waters with stupid rhetoric and her own self-promotion. Memo to Republicans: Make it stop or your new-found majority will melt away and once again, because of your own actions/inactions, you will be looking in the window.

Sarah Palin... what a career... from mayor of a town of 10,000 people to governor of a state 2.5 times the geographical area of Texas with a total population less than Fort Worth or San Francisco. She is totally clueless about the problems faced by any large population area. She seems to have a short attention span... she didn't even feel obligated to complete the term as governor she was elected to. She just loves the fame and fortune but doesn't want responsibility. She's a great cheerleader for her political philosophy, but she has demonstrated that she can't handle a demanding position of responsiblilty.

I am surprised at Karl Rove suggesting that someone without "gravitas" has little chance of being elected to the Presidency by the Americanm people. Especially after they catapulted a former, unremarkable Community Organizer, and undisinguished State/national Senator into the Presidency, a post for which he was clearly unqualified and far above his pay grade. Where was the required gravitas there? Has Karl Rove, whom I've long admired for his pithy and astute political comments, given in to petulant disappointment over the failure of one of his political favorites because of Sarah Palin's intervention? I hope not.

1) As a consertive Republician I see a man who's rapidly turning into a RINO. And to paraphrase our president: is still bitterly clinging to all the media attention and power, despite the fact that he should be aware of the MSM's love to playup even small splits in the GOP as if it was a mjaor earthquake. 2) If Rove thinks Americans have high standards for president, has he been sleeping under a rock for the last two plus years?

I think Palin would have to Google the word "gravitas" to find out what it means..

Why oh why are we still harping on Sarah Palin being the president of the US. We all know from past errors that she is incompetent to be president of anything. And, does everytone in Alaska think that Alaska is Sarah Palin's Alaska?

I'd be more interested in a Karl Rove reality show

He is starting to irritate me with his constant interjecting and insulting fellow Republicans, i used to like him but he's gotten on my nerves.

I am a moderate Independent who believes a one-solution spend-happy morally challeneged liberal agenda is harming America, but also undertands you can't legislate morals. And do we really want Karl Rove representing the voice of the GOP after the mess he helped create no so long ago? We do need change both right and left, not more of the same failed politicians steering the ship backwards to the rocks again. This time in history should be about the future of America, not the same tired past.
