Karl Rove Says Palin’s Gingrich Endorsement “Not Worth Snot”


Though the Alaska political figure’s fanbase might disagree, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove says Sarah Palin’s endorsement of GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich only shows that “endorsements don’t mean snot.”

Rove made this statement in a Barclays Capital conference call in which he discussed the state of the GOP race, according to BuzzFeed. Similar to many, Rove is no new critic to the fiesty former vice presidential candidate, but he didn’t necessarily spew anti-Palin rhetoric here. Rove added that Gingrich is becoming “irrelevant” in the running, which frankly has turned into a duel between contenders Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. Though the ex-Bush Administration member has called Palin thin-skinned in the past, there’s something to be said about the strength of Gingrich’s campaign: He’s performing low in the polls and significantly behind rivals Romney and Santorum, so while Palin’s following could give Gingrich a boost in the race, it wouldn’t be enough to make him the top dog.

    She never really gave an endorsement.   All she did was after she had voted in her state she said that NEWT was right in her opinion for Alaska.  If she actually gave a true endorsement should could have helped NEWT. 
    If tomorrow it was possible for Palin to enter and qualify for all the remaining states.  Then she would take the support away from rick/Newt and truly challenge Mitt.

    and his endorsements are not snot?

    Sarah didn’t endorse Newt because she knew her endorsement would not help and wanted to save face. Remember that her priorities are Sarah first and everything else a distant second.  Have to keep the rubes money flowing onto SarahPac. 

    Palin/Joe the Plumber 2012.

    Palin didn’t endorse Newt and if she was going to she should  have a long time ago, not wait until he was nearly dead in the water.  Karl really is getting obnoxious, so we can say his “endorsement” of Romney, which he would never admit to  doesn’t mean crap.   He’s becoming a little pig headed.

    Nope, snot would be step up.

    She was afraid that she would’ve endorsed the wrong candidate.  It just like she didn’t want to tell Couric where she got her news from.

    I agree with Clovis, Sarah is about as self serving as they get….

    Kudoes to Karl Rove. I’m profoundly saddened that he is 100% right!

    She may have said she voted for Gingrich. In reality, she got a bit mixed up on her geography and voted for Putin.

  • Centrist79

    Just to be clear, Rove is a Republican.

    …Mr Rove you are being too generous!

    The perfect ticket – Cain / Palin 2012!
    Cain loves white women, and Palin appreciates black men!

    No pain, No Cain for Ice on Rice!

    Sarah, the info babe, didn’t think twice
    When she had her first chance to entice
    A black basketball star
    ‘Cause she loved that coal tar
    So she hit it like she was “White on Rice”!

    Now Sarah won’t have to explain
    If she gets on the ticket again
    That her mud-sharkin’ past
    Has paid off at last
    When she gets to serve beneath Herman Cain!

    Rove in this case is not very smart. Palin endorses Newt because a) Palin is an evangelical who, like Santorum and probably Newt, does not believe that Mormons are truly “Christian” (though, if Romney does win, Sarah will support anyone, even a “non-Christian, against Obama, the “anti-christ”; b) Sarah may still see herself as a potential power broker who would like to stop Romney from getting a majority of the primary votes to send the matter into Convention hysteria, where she stars.

    The list of bodily fluids that Sarah Palin is not worth reaches into the hundreds.

    She’ll never be able to keep Romney from getting the nomination.  She doesn’t have much respect in the Republican Party, anybody else for that matter.  Besides,it will only make her look like (she is) trying to get the nomination for herself.  This poor misguided, narcissistic light weight still think she matters and has influence on Republicans. Will someone please explain to her she isn’t anything close to what she views herself as, and is not nearly as smart either.

    You might under estimate her influence. In a brokered convention she could play.

     She can’t be that much of an evangelical – she had her under-aged daughter prescribed birth control pills…

    Go away Sarah .

    The half term nitwits opinion about anything is not worth snot. The womans an idiot.

  • Pkristek

    I AGREE WITH CARL ROVE………..HE IS RIGHT ABOUT PALIN !!

  • Pkristek

    Anyone who would follow her need to need to give more respect to the republican party. She is always talking about being so religious and we never see her going to a church.

  • Pkristek

    Anyone who would quit their job as governor after two years just might do the same thing if she were president. We do not need people like this who are quitters. a quitter never wins and a winner never quits.
