    by several years he means not even a term

  • OK IDK much about Sarah Pailin but i know she thought Africa was a country I do think they should have an IQ of at least 90

  • lol Barbour cant defend Palin? I cant defend Barbour! If theres one thing Democrats and Republicans can agree on its that one of the worst evils in this country are lobbyists and their bullshit. Haley Barbour was once proclaimed the King of Lobbyists and was one of the most successful lobbyists ever to set foot in Washington. Of all GOP candidates hes probably the worst. Electing him would be like electing Darth Cheney.

  • He thinks Palin is well informed because he's an idiot too.

  • Sarah Palin informed? On anything? No, she's not.

  • @ekras01 and Obama is informed? Oh, sorry, i mispoke. he is informed, on the March Madness brackets.

  • He can´t be serious.....hahaha

    A stupid weirdo like Pahlin......

  • 12/22'Damage to his potential 2012 bid'? I live in the South & this guy sounds and looks like a dumb ass hayseed.This hick never stood a chance of a bid. Barbour (he prounounces it 'Bahrbore') stood as much of a chance as winning as Goober Huckabee.I know Americans are severely stupid & dumbed down from Reality Shows but Haley & Goober can't win. Palin's different but needs to grow breasts/vagina & Woman Up before she could run.She a complete idiot but nondiscriminate Americans won't notice

  • Im more quafied than Sarah!!! Vote me for president 2028

  • lmao, the teabaggers will destroy him for this.

  • I want to have an accent like Haley Barbour.

  • "Is she qualified to be President?"

    "uhh... uuuuuhhh......" *Ashlee Simpson hoedown dances off camera and runs away*

  • That disgusting old cracker! "She's real smart." he says. Yes, I'll bet Sarah Palin looks like an Einstein next to him.

  • are we even sure sp is a woman? she needs to present her birth certificate to prove it.

  • Jickyboob, What a silly, silly clown.

  • He likes war, but doesn't like clean air. He likes the way insurance companies screw Americans and he wants everyone to fend for themselves. Why should Americans hire elected officials to help us? Why do we think they are competent? Because they are Americans, except this idiot. He's from Mississippi.

  • @guywalker29 Excuse,me? I HATE when people generalize all people from MS as idiots. I am not an idiot. There are many intelligent people from this state. We are not all stupid and fat. Thank you very much.

  • @18clp2 The idea of a Union of States included the idea of competency and morality and productivity which in turn benefits the United States as a whole. Since the Civil War, 18clp2, what has Mississippi got to offer the rest of the country? And please, don't reply "Eudora Welty" and please do not try to convince me that providing the United States with shrimp negates what happened in Mississippi after the Civil War.

  • So he won't stand up and say 'She is qualified to be the President' basically.

  • Anyone who uses the words "assbackwards" during an interview will NOT be President. We've been there, done that. One W is all the history books can handle!

  • Sir, I concur 100% with your opinion. Also, someone whose favorite sport is moose hunting (from a helicopter) shouldn't have her finger on the button, for she might be tempted to push it at any moment when she's angry.

  • uahn uh custuhm

  • I kinda want Palin to run for President, and I kinda want her to win too. lol

    It would be fucking epic.

  • i can just see the market fall and break the floor if it happened

  • Well if you want the United States to be the laughing stock of the world, sure.

  • As in EPIC FAIL???

  • WAYYYY off topic, but Jayar is so hot...

    That said, this broad has GOT to go.  She is the Class A worst. My dead gerbil knows more about foreign policy than Palin does...

  • Let's rephrase that line of questioning and reenact...

    Q: "Is this a cat?"

    A:"Well, it's not a DOG..."

    LOL

  • lol that's awesome

  • He;s from Mississippi....that's all I needed to know.

  • i think jayar is 100% right, but what they don't realize is that they are creating a monster. she is starting to believe the hype, and if they pull the rug out from under her she will surely turn on them.

    and anyone who would vote in as president a person who quits their job in politics, as a freakin' governor, in order to become a professional political cheerleader, is a lost cause. all you need is a shiny object to change their mind.

  • If palin wins I'm moving to Canada, because at that point America failed beyond any return.

  • @TrueManaBeast

    Canada would be too close.

  • doctorcataclysm is right. Canada is too close...she'll still be able to see you...

  • @TrueManaBeast

    We are not in the business of taking 3rd world citizens in Canada.

  • it;s ok didn't u see the move the world is gonna end in 2012

  • If Palin wins as President, many people around the world would celebrate.

    That's because there are many people around the world want to see America destry itself.

  • Let her run for President.

    Let all the poison that lurks in the mud hatch out.

    If she's running, when the vote is over we will know down the last number how many people are completely ignorant batshit insane Real Americans. We will know at last the population of Fox Nation.

    They would have to alter millions of votes in order to steal THAT election. And they don't have Acorn, so that's impossible, right? Ha ha.

  • Barbour seemed relieved that he didn't have to go out on a limb and say Palin is qualified. Lucky him.

  • Jayrar is so right

  • Barbour has been in politics for decades and he is no fool . He knows his shit.

    He's not going to stake his reputation on someone who has absolutely no chance of winning a general election.

    And a few years from now, when something like a sarah palin sex-tape comes out.. He not going to be standing there with a shit sandwich in his hands, like the rest of the right-wingers.

  • @glamourknight well said

  • I agree with Jayar ... she's a tool, that's all

  • I'S WAS A REPUBLEECAN

    fuckin hick

  • Well she is over 35 and is a United States citizen, but?....!! LMAO!!!

  • I really didn't think his answer was all that damaging. There are some very dumb Americans who wouldn't even say that much about Obama's qualifications.

  • The only thing Sarah Failin is good at is pushing out tard kids.

  • He makes me be ashamed to be from Mississippi. Boo!

  • sarah palin is going to be old news by 2012..

  • Palin is dumb but not as dumb as the media is portraying her. We've all just jumped onto this boat of dissing her all the time. I accept shes fucking stupid, but not absolutely fucking stupid.

  • she is intelectually, politically, and geographically (lol) as dumb as the media portrays her to be; she is strategically intelligent though, i must admit.

  • Agreed, Palin isn't the most stupid person on Earth for a very simple reason:

    The people who vote for her are more stupid than Palin herself.

  • Admit it.. she's not qualified in terms of experience.

  • I dont think palin is a stupid person.I am not a stupid person but I also am aware that I am not qualified to be president.I dont think she is stupid but when she says something stupid we should not act as tho it was brilliant and we should not let her get away with blaming the dems the media or katie couric for her own stupid statements.If Some world leader asks her a tough question as prez and she totally fucks up she cant come home and say its MSNBC's fault.

  • Best ticket: sarah Palin and Al Sharpton.

  • Well I say, I say, I said I say Foghorn Leghorn here is completely full of shit.

  • Palin is dumb as FUCK and everyone knows it.

  • jayar is looking good!

  • Orly passed the bar exam, have you?

  • @megagagnon1 O RLY?

  • LOLLLLLL

    nice one

  • lol jayar's spot on

  • I believe that this whole "2012 end of the world" thing is just going to end up being that Sarah Palin is going to get elected. Basically, the Mayans are facepalming at the society of the future for actually considering such an idiot.

  • wow, good point lol.

  • She's not even qualified enough to be a lawyer.

  • Cenk always says he supports an independant candidate. I wonder who that is...? I live in Canada, so I'm not familiar with the smaller parties.

  • You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd!

  • Her answer regarding Israel with Barbara Walters should automatically disqualify her from office.

  • if sarah palin becomes president im gunna go live with my family in spain. they dont have retards running for president there or people dumb enough to vote for her just because shes hot or just because they are republican.....thats whats wrong with americans almost always no matter who is running for what people just vote for their own party

  • Oh PLEASE God, make the GOP mis-calculate, and make em give Palin the Nomination.

    It would be AWESOME!!!!

    Obama would win EVERY SINGLE STATE!

  • LOL......exactly!...obama would win. Sarah Palin is a fucking dumbass if there ever was one! and you can't defend a person in a wrong doing.

  • Sarah Palin is qualified to be lying, slandering, power hungry  idiot and, "What's that?" "She already is?" - never mind.

  • i concur with cenk and j.r., they are using her, she's a crowd magnet! yet in the end, when it's time to draw up presidential hopefuls/candidates, i'm thinking they will hand mrs. palin her hat. and somehow, that doesn't seem fair, unless she is aware of this and has no intention of running for president. if she's fine with getting a book published, making money giving speeches and signing autographs and promoting the party agenda and has no aspirations for the oval office then ... go for it.

  • once again JR nails it ...their just using palin ..like they used her in 2008 and threw her under the bus after the election

  • Ron Paul 2012, I wish he'd made it in 2008, we were fools not to notice him for what he was. Hope he will run in 2012.

  • agreed, as an independent I would vote for him out of anyone in the GOP primaries in 2012. Were i to regester as a republican

  • Al sharpton was a democrat potential presidential candidate. If the democrats can put Al up there what is wrong with Sara?

  • Al Sharpton is a blow hard but not an idiot like Palin.

  • Tawana Brawley makes him more than a "blowhard"

  • stupid repulicans defending Sarah PIDLEG!!!!! face the truth!!!

  • What are democrats for pretending Al Sharpton is valid

  • Sharpton has never held public office.

  • i don't know see what al sharton has to do with this. thats like saying: 'what about bush? he never should've ran in the first place.'

  • whats the point of Sarah Palin running if she's not going to win? Al Sharpton is more valid......but they just didn't want to vote for him because they thought he was just another jesse jackson, thats all...decides, what would make anyone vote for Sarah Palin anyway? because of personality and not her experience? you've got to be kidding me. i wouldn't vote for her, because she's just another feminist like hillary clinton.....(she just wants money to get out of alaska.)

  • Jesse and Al are part of the problem - they can't solve any problems cuz if they did, if they broke the status quo, they'd be out of a job

  • please sarah palin go away i dont wanna ever hear about her again...i want her to disappear

  • you and me both, friend

  • see i know i shud agree with u, bt im nt american so really i kinda hope she doesnt go newhere cos shes pure entertainment

  • then lets send her to wherever you live cause she needs to leave the US political system ASAP

  • i dont want her here

  • can i get a yes or no?

  • the klan isn't active

  • and i tried to make a point - black on black crime is - if you can do a little math - almost 5000x more of a problem than the klan - while the klan was active

  • Well I do agree on the black on black crime..It is ridiculously high among the young adults and even blacks I know who are young in their 30s talk about how sick they are of it..This is what Jesse and Al and the black leaders need to focus on.Plus blame that Gangsta rap and the young people for thinking the gangsta life is cool and not wanting to do better..then blame the older generation of blacks for just sitting there acceptign that in the community and not taking action.

  • Its a littlebit deeper then that.

    We live in a society that puts tremendous value on wealth, u cannot blame young black youth for falling for the "Ghetto Capitalist Dream".

  • RSUX the NAACP and one other black organization kept count of hanging stats, blame them if u think they've undercounted

  • robert whites have almost 5x the population of whites, so that suggests that hate crime laws should protect whites most especially, but eric holder doesn't agree

  • so hate crimes should be directed toward black on black crime

  • i'll answer you question - in 80 years of lyinchings, in all of the US, the sum total of blacks killed is equal to the number of blacks killed in a tiny city called philly, population 1.5 million, in 2007 - that's right, 80 years of the kkk killing blacks = one year of philly blacks killing other blacks

  • U are not counting killings during slavery, and after slavery (Jim Crow) Plus I doubt that is even close to accurate...Lets not forget cases that were not reported. Oh and cases on hate crimes against whites are low! Personally any person that black, hispanic or any race killing someone for being white needs to be taken out back and beat down for doing reverse hate!!

  • I'm a pro-Obama liberal for what its worth, I just don't like it when racism is spoken of in terms of a white issue against other groups exclusively. In our country its the most common system, but every race has instances of victimization by every other race, blacks and Hispanics for instance commit a great deal of crimes against each other based on race/ethnicity. It isn't "reverse hate" when a minority commits a crime against whites, its simply regular straight forward hate and racism...

  • Irrelevant comment, but Cenk please iron your shirt. You are on TV!! Oh, sorry, you're not. Sensitive point, I am sorry :P

  • Haha, you're so funny. *sarcasm*

    YouTube is the tele for young people smart enough to turn off the cable.

  • I agree that there is better material on youtube than on TV. But that's beside the point. Cenk has shown on several occasions to be very anxious to go on television. Of course, that's still were the big money is made, and who can really resist the thought of making a lot of money doing what you love?

  • He needs to keep going on TV until he isnt anxious anymore. He would do very well once he learns to keep his cool ;)

  • I think Krifko meant that Cenk has shown eagerness, not anxiety in the past, to get a time slot on a major network.

    I also think he would do well on a major network. Unfortunately, the style that fans have come to know and love would be stifled by the networks.

  • TV reaches a lot more people :)

  • eric holder recently testified before the senate that the hate crime legislation doesn't apply to white people, only to historically attacked groups, blacks and gays - have u seen that?

  • OK where historically has maor hate crimes happened to us white people!! Look at lynchings and Jim crow to blacks, Look at how Asians and other people were killed because of their race..Hell pick up a history book idiot!! I really doubt that Holder said this..U are some crazy white socialist Nazi looking to geet angry at blacks, hispanics and other races! Please sned me the information on this Bullshit u are talking!!!

  • I missed the first part of this argument apparently, but just on a statistical note, most years for which I've seen the FBI hate crime statistics in the United States, Whites are usually 2nd only to Blacks in the number of hate crimes based on race, with 3,475 black victims in 2004 for instance, and 1,027 white victims of hate crimes. The number of Hispanic victims was 646, for comparison. Per capita whites are much lower than other groups for victimization, but its not all one sided obviously.

  • And please just go back to that retarded ass praying for Obamas death, that his wife and kids be faterless and widow...Psalm 109!! U people are a trip!!!

  • anything good?

  • eric holder has done what?

  • so no need to prosecute them, and no need to explain why you're not prosecuting them, makes sense to me

  • The Philadelhia court needs to Prosecute them..Why don't u go prosedcute them then Fucker...U have a Law Degree..Go write your congressman...Is this the only aruguement u have?? I would give u more respect if you cried about the birther shit!!

  • So eric holder shouldn't prosecute two black panthers caught on tape intimidating voters cuz black panthers aren't powerful? guess that means he wouldn't prosecute klan members either, cuz of their lack of power

  • OH you r a Faux News Zombie watcher! Zombie?? It was just 2 idiot thug losers causing ruckus..not the whole dam group..I do not think that is a national crisis.. U must be a disgruntled Klansman mad that He cannot hang Blacks anymore! U are one of those Hateful dumb Conservatives that like to go "Look at what the minoritys are doing to us"! Go Figure and Put your KKK sheet in the closet!!!

  • Hawaii is a state, only problem is Obama has never released his vital records, so we don't know that he was born in Hawaii

  • simple question - why does obama tie up our courts with this birther nonsense? why doesn't he produce a hospital birth certificate? for the same reason eric holder has never explained why he decided not to prosecute the black panthers caught on tape intimidating voters

  • Ohh so Hawaii does not count as a State..Dam u are Delusional..U have nothing better to cry about in your party but this birther shit...The majority of Americans think this birther Shit is DUMB..that Orly bitch is not even American, That Orly Taitz BITCH is from Poland and u dummys let her get media attention..The black Panthers are no more Powerful than the Mickey Mouse Club..Fuck them and fuck you!!!

  • Why the fuck are the Democrats worrying about Sarah Palin. You WON the election. Get this through your heads. You WON the fucking election.

    Now, where is all the great change your leader promised? God damnit your party is so incompetent. Go and vote that fucking change in you morons.

  • Get this through your heads Conservatives...U LOST!! Stop puttting up dumb as Hitler commercials and praying that Obama's kids be fatherless and his wife be a widow and using verses in the bible to justify your hatred and racist ways!! U alll r such hypocrites..U all act so rightous and God loving but yet you all spew hatred and let the far right spew their racist views in your party and you all protect them!!

  • Ohhh and please show me where the GOP (Grossly Opressive and Pathetic) is soooo fucking Competent..I need to remind u Bush had 8 years of failure so lets not talk about incompitent Presidents. Obama has already done more in one year than bush did in 3 years!! I don't agree with some he has done but its Better than that Bastard Little Bush Jr! Yet you defend your party's pathetic Leaders like Sanford and others who claim they r for family first!! Such MORONS!!

  • @rebublicansSuxDix

    I'm not a Republican you high school drop out dumb shit. I'm a Democrat who is sick and tired of how pathetic my party is. 

    Obama has done more in one year than Bush in 3 years? Tell me exactly what the fuck he has done that is so great.

    The Democrat party is pathetic.

  • OHHH hurt my little feelings..I am soo hurt!! The republican party is pathetic..look at their tactics and fear mongering and praying for someone to die..ohh they so Christian and loveing..Such B.S. oH WHAT has Obama done so far: 1. he is trying to reform health care -the insurance companies need to get kicked in the balls or rate will get higher, 2. He is lowered the Anti-American tension around the world,3. The recission has slowed down..It is not going to recover overnight IDIOT!!

  • @rebublicansSuxDix

    All 3 of those points are not true. You don't really know anything; I feel sorry for you.

  • WHAT!!! U full of shit!!! I do not agree with all he has done but at least it is a better step! What!! He has not lowered American Tension!!! U are a dam fool!! U watch too much fox news!!! U are the one that know nothing!!! So I guess I just pulled all this out of my Ass!! I care not to have a conversation with your ass!!! U are a shit head ORACLE that knows everything huh???

  • Cenk.

    The douche bag, radical left-wing nut job, Chris Matthews asked a question, and

    Gov. Barbour answered it.

    You obviously missed that part where he answered it.

    And,

    why so much interest in Gov. Palin?

    She is only a private citizen who is on a book tour.

    Feeling the heat?

    Thought so.

  • Radical left wing? Its amazing how radical left wing used to literally mean radical, like demanding immediatly for the nationalisation ALL key industries. Now it simply means an ex-republican who thinks Neo-con-ism is a bad thing and that Sarah Palin is not very clever.

    Why so much interest in Palin? You answered perfectly; she has a book tour. Feeling heat yes! NOT because anybody is worried that she is any good. Worried about the future of a nation that supports such a clown.

  • and don't care much for that tired old piece of paper called the constitution

  • truth is "progressives" don't give a shiite where obama was born, especially cuz he's black

  • ohhhhhh such bullshit!! What u said makse no fuckin snese!! U all are still on this Make Believe BIRTHER shit!! your staement is a PRIME EXAMPLE why U dumb as Republicans have backwards as People like Palin and Barbour as leaders of your 10 pound shit bag party!!! Palin has foreign Policy experience cause she can see Alaska from her back yard... LMAO,,U all r stupid fuckers!!

  • ibwillianmsi when i become prez i'll gladly show my birth certificate - Mccain showed all his vital records to the AG, and the Senate passed a non-binding resolution affirming his eligibility. Too bad Obama can't be as transparent as he promised.

  • Putting Sarah Palin in front of Right Wingers is like putting cupcakes in front of fat kids. Gets em every time.

  • "Constitutionally she is."

    LOL

  • "Constitutionally Charles Manson is also LOL.

    What an answer Haley gave LOL

  • points at you and yells " TROLL!!"

  • she isnt smart though mate, thats the problem. As for "christian" her views from it make her 1 of the most unstable leaders you could have!

    This women is insane, i doubt you could find any large group outside the USA that actually think she is smart.

  • Lol. Figures that a conservative lists being "pretty" as a requirement to be president. Palin is all that's wrong with this country, that a fool who doesn't know what Hamas is and can't tell Iraq from Iran can be on a presidential ticket. Thanks to Republicans, intelligence is no longer necessary. A woman who can't even get through a single interview without soundingl ike a moron.

  • She is stupid and most Republicans don't think she is qualified to be President. She does not know what Hamas is OR what the VP of the United States does AND believes she was a regulator of oil and gas.

    She is a MORON.

    Btw.She will get KILLED in the Primaries.

    Other Republican candidates will destroy her on issues. Issues she blew in the last election. Seeing Russia from your backyard does not qualify one to be a foreign policy expert. Being a quitter like she is will get her destroyed in 2012

  • Legitimate reasons?

    Here I go:

    1) Took more then 6 years to get a 4 year degree from multiple colleges.

    2) She is a quitter. If the going gets tough, she will just quit as President like she did as Governor

    3) Does not know what the VP of the US does even though she was going for that position. She said "They're in charge of the U.S. Senate" LOL Wow call her stupid

    4) She cannot even answer what newspaper she reads..She said "All of them" LOL

    She is dumb as stones.

    5) I could go on...LOL

  • "I think she is the best presidential candidate that we might have..."

    Wow... what a sad statement.

    And I think she has a better chance than this hick.

  • His job is NOT to get more republicans elected. His job is to do what's best for his fucking state.

  • dylantuzyk - learn to read - a certificate of live birth is not a birth certificate - listen to lou dobbs - he was asking for real proof

  • Where's yours?

  • Hahaha 100% agree with Jayar.

  • I've noticed I always agree with Jayar waaaay more than I agree with Cenk or Ana.

  • sarah palin was a beauty queen, and now she's a MILF - the reality is she's still pretty, unlike that used up hillary

  • Yes, and she's demonstrably unethical (abusive of power,) has a head full of rocks, and has set anchor somewhere in the bronze age on any number of social issues.

  • Are you guys still going on about that?

    Obama's full of shit (like pretty much anyone who rises to the top politically), but this birther stuff is really weak.

  • Except. He has. Learn to google.

  • Give it up Retardicans!! Palin is no more qualified than Jenna Jameson or Mickey Mouse to Win the nomination for Presidency. The Bitch is liked by you Retardicans becuase she speaks that cave man backwards ass extremist talk that wants America to the the America of the "Good Ole days" when White was right and blacks and other races were looked at as Scum humans! Palin is a dumb cunt!! Sad u idiots rather have someone with backwards views than someone with Intelligence run your party!

  • Barbour is a fool. How the hell can you run for president when you cannot get MS to 49th place out of 50 states.

  • I saw this when it aired. Matthews has been asking prominent Republicans this same question and each one of them hemmed and hawed just like Barbour does. No high-profile elected Republican will go on record as saying that Palin is qualified for the presidency. No one wants to have to defend such a ludicrous statement.

  • JR- "get oout o here.....stupid ass"

  • Well it just goes to show that it's hard to defend a nitwit like Palin. She is everything that's wrong with the Republican Party.

  • Sarah Palin is pretty? WTF? Are you blind? DO NOT WANT!

  • sarah palin IS BEAUTIFUL? WTF

  • Haley Barbour is a damn fool. I live in MS, and wish I could have voted against the guy.

    The idea of him running for President is hilarious.

  • The idea of any Republican presenting any real threat to Obama (beyond Ron Paul) is hilarious.

  • sarah palin is a MILF. case closed. if you dont see that, you're probably half-dog.

  • J.R. is sooooo right...and I can't wait for them to tell her when her time is up. ahhhhh, that will be fab. Then I will be happy to say: Bye Sarah Palin, buh bye you fame seeking so- and-so!!

  • OMG JAYAR WAS SO RIGHT ON

  • J.R. Hit the nail on the head.

  • This guy, Haley Barber, is a phony!!! He's trying to merge the historically black colleges into one along with women's university with MS state in order to "save revenue for the state." Is that a coincidence?

  • @soccerdude601 I had no idea about that

  • Matthews: Does she qualify for president.

    Barbour: Constitutionally she does....

    LOL.

  • "... because she's beautiful ..." Hah! As they say, beauty is skin-deep, but ugly goes to the bone.

  • I agree she's ugly as sin on the inside. But she's really not physically attractive either. I dunno, maybe some people just have very low standards.

  • Sarah Palin is "beautiful"?????!!!! Not last time I looked, Cenk. She's a hook-nosed hag. You must have some DIABOLICALLY low standards.

  • Well on the political stage, she's certainly in the top 5. But I think we can call that damning with faint praise as well ;)

  • Well, I'll agree she's more attractive than obese mouth-breathers like Haley Barbour, that much is true, but interestingly, President Obama is actually physically much more attractive than she is, yet people rarely seem to make such a big deal about how handsome he is. Then again, he's beautiful inside, too. One person who's always been described as handsome, for some reason I simply cannot understand, is JFK. I mean, really? I guess that's those low political standards kicking in there again.
