Ziegler on Morning Joe

Ziegler talks about how when she is treated fair she comes through.

He mentions that celebrity sells that is the reality

Joe: Is she closer to being a celeb than a pol?

Ziegler: This is Sarah Palin 2.0 not the same person who was destroyed by the media. Ziegler things that her path takes her out of the running in 2012, if she is not running it is brilliant, if she just wants to go after celeb then she is on the right path.

That is a good point, but then again she doesn’t have to run in 2012 she has YEARS to go on that.

He did through some shots at MSNBC but Joe treated him really fairly. I think one shot would have been fine, I think 5 shots when nobody is firing back was a bit much.

Update: Captain Ed commentary.

That doesn’t mean that Palin can’t do it. There is plenty of time for her to focus less on her base, which is already tremendously loyal, and start working on her appeal to independents, if she’s interested in the 2012 race at all. Her appearance on Leno last night was a good step in that direction, but she may be playing for a longer game than her fans and critics think.

Youtube and Ed have the video.

Mitt Romney on Morning Joe

Mitt Romeny is on Morning Joe right now plugging his book: No Apologies, in likely a more friendly setting than The View was.

I’m very hard on Mitt, at least I was at CPAC. I didn’t like the answers to the softballs I threw him at the Brown Party and I was unhappy at his general inaction as governor here although he did hold the line on the budget as well as one can in Massachusetts.

I would support him over any democrat but on a political level he doesn’t impress me but he is looking good today. (On a personal level he is an excellent example with a fine family meaning he got the most important in life right).

He is making a good case and he is showing a better face than I’ve seen him show. Morning Joe tends to loosen up guys a bit. Maybe he needs more settings like this.

He declared George W. Bush a good president, Sarah Palin Qualified to be president and Mike “dishonorable” Huckabee a conservative.

Pretty good job.

On a side note I REALLY like the photos they go in and out with on the show lately.

Update: Linked by Texas for Sarah Palin. thanks.

I have one warning to my democratic and liberal friends…

…if they decide to go nuclear on Healthcare.

The day will come when Republicans control both houses and the presidency. If you choose to go on this path that day will be sooner than you think. If you use this power today, we will use it tomorrow. And we’ll do it without the beating of the breasts that is going on today.

And as you might have noticed we have a lot easier time passing bills with smaller majorities than you do.
