Donald Trump on CNN: "Yes, I trust Palin with the economy." WTF?!
Okay so Trump is on CNN saying how he trusts Palin with the economy. That they are, her and her husband, extremely intelligent people and he feels that if anything should happen that she would be able to handle the economy. When Blitzer asked about experience, Trump actually says, "Maybe we need someone with no experience dealing with this issue. It was the experienced people who got us into this mess in the first place."

Does this make any damn sense?! So then...and I love this fuckin' part...

Blizter says, "So you say you've met Palin, when did you meet her?"

Trump, "I met her last night at a fundraiser."

Okay...so this idiot says that he'd trust such a monumental issue with so many problems to an inexperienced idiot that he met for a few hours. Mind you, probably hours he didn't spend talking to her since, we'll assume there were other people there.


What the hell is that kind of recommendation? She got a D in economics, WTF?! I'm just appalled by the parroters for the Republican party. This is disgusting.

Edit: No link, it was on tv about 5 minutes ago.

11. He's just saying it.../
because a Palin White house is just like a Bush White house. Replete with revolving door appointments that stock the government chock full of lobbyists and business interests ready to f&^%^*k the middle class.

12. Donald can look up to her
Another person that got where she is knowing absolutely nothing.

After all, the smartest thing Donald ever did was to have a billionaire for a father.

He turned those billions into hundreds of millions.

Trump ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, either.

He's just a tool.

24. Don't put any faith in someone who doesn't know how to get a decent haircut.
He has his money, he doesn't care about the rest of us. He doesn't have a lot of influence anymore.

They compliment each other. Frit and Frat!

30. He is stupider than I thought . He has street smarts ... but I bet
he is no wizard when it comes to some hard-nosed original thinking ...

I mean he is more in the Bill-O'Rielly mould rather than say, Jack Welch.
