Quote Unquote: Sarah Palin Oh-Twelve!

After placing blame for the GOP's failed attempt to overtake the Senate at her feet, Mort Kondracke — Roll Call editor and Fox News infotainer — gives his thoughts on Sarah Palin and her presidential ambitions…

"I think she's a phenomenon. I think she's a rock star. I think she attracts cameras wherever she goes, but she's a joke. Even within her own party, the idea that she would be the presidential nominee, among vast majorities of ordinary Republicans, is just unthinkable."

I wonder if, come February 2013, he'll retract that statement from his prison cell beneath the Lincoln Memorial. Or will the iron mask covering his face make it too difficult to talk?
