Sarah Palin: Chris Christie Got His ‘Panties in a Wad’ After Romney’s SC Loss
EmailNew Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who frequently campaigns on behalf of Mitt Romney, is facing criticism from some in the GOP after he referred to Newt Gingrich as an “embarrassment” to the party on “Meet The Press.”
“This is a guy who has had a very difficult political career at times and has been an embarrassment to the party,” Christie told NBC’s David Gregory.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin responded to Christie’s comments in an interview today with the Fox Business Network, saying that the governor “played right into the media’s hands” with these comments.
“This was a rookie mistake. He played right into the media’s hands,” Palin told Fox’s Eric Bolling. “You know, sometimes if your candidate loses in just one step along this path, as was the case with Romney’s loss to Newt the other night, and of course, Romney is Chris Christie’s guy. Well, you kind of get your panties in a wad and you may say things you regret later.”
Palin’s husband Todd endorsed Newt Gingrich at the beginning of January. Sarah Palin has not officially endorsed a candidate yet.

Let’s see how long it takes for Sarah’s panties to bunch up when Newt crashes and burns.

Why does SHE (or her husband) matter????

I’m elderly, and I can tell you Palin’s dirty talk won’t go over with many in my age group.
Besides the statement as it is, she is implying Christie wears “panties”. She is not a smart woman to try to emasculate a man. Not smart at all, and men should be offended.

Despite the attacks because she is simply an outsider not a Washington insider, Little old Palin has withstood the vicious assaults and came out ahead. No easy feat. Only idiots say she is an idiot—-for if she were half as dumb as they claim, she would have already been gone. Instead she keeps beating them. And btw panties in wad is a VERY COMMON saying here in America, no elderly person here with any brains would even begin to think it a dirty comment. What Palin has said, despite the pathetic insults mentioned that have nothing to do with anything, is dead on AGAIN. Don’t you Palin haters ever get tired of being wrong? Just like when she said Drill Baby Drill instead of what the idiot Obama did which has left us paying double for gas, everytime she says something right the left looses it mind and comes out insulting. I am beginning to think that the reason why a certan group hates her is simply because despite her quirky accent and non-corrupt Harvard degree—the woman is repeatedly correct about so much that actually matters.

Maybe she wants to be Newt’s choice for VP? Ruining one candidate’s chances to be Prez wasn’t enough for her, she’s going for two. A Gingrich/Palin ticket would be the best thing to happen to the Democrats – ever.

Well, she should know about rookie mistakes. She has made plenty of them. Why is she even considered relevant anymore?

“Besides the statement as it is, she is implying Christie wears “panties”. She is not a smart woman to try to emasculate a man.” – MaryBelle
Why not?
She can skin and dress a deer in the field.
Christie should be at least a little afraid of Sarah.
“Why is she even considered relevant anymore?” – Catherine
Because she knows more about running a government than Obama does even after his 3 years of on the job training.

This from an idiot who just got PWNED by Fox into doing the very thing she is denouncing. She just got LED into making a statement she’s gonna wish she’d never said. She is truly more stupid than I ever imagined. How did she EVER get into the governor’s office?
Posted by: Turbo | January 23, 2012, 11:09 pm 11:09 pm
Wouldn’t that be a sexist comment if said the other way around. Sarah just has her panties in a wad that she is no longer relevant. The Republicans with the lowest intellectual capacity (Sarah, Todd & Rick) are drawn to Newt’s overdeveloped sense of importance a trait they all have in common.
Posted by: Eileen McDaniel | January 23, 2012, 11:15 pm 11:15 pm
If I were Chris Christie I’d say, “Well actually, just like Governor Palin, I don’t wear panties”.

Does Sarah ever regret any of her inane comments? Does she regret bringing up questions about the birth of Trig, or calling the President a terrorist? Does she regret lying through her clenched teeth every night on Fox?
Nope, because the GOP has no soul, no conscience, and no ability to feel anything but contempt for anyone not bowing at their feet. Disgusting…all of them. This sham of a politician let Wasilla in debt, left the state of Alaska in debt, and QUIT. She is no more prepared to govern anything than her pregnant daughter, the high school dropout, or her husband, the college dropout. Call me elite, but I prefer that the people in the White House have an education and morals. Palin fails on both counts.

It’s not sexist or sexual. BUT the idea of a politician saying that? Yuck. I have always despised that saying. Romney is defending himself. Go look at almost any source. For people who don’t have time, go to politifact or factcheck. The day after SC primary, the factcheckers show that Romney is telling the truth about Gincrich 80% of the time. Newts lies about Romney more often. But Newt always does that thing where he fires an offensive attack before he answers the question. In most cases its “poor me up against the liar Romney and his super packs.” But Newt lies and exaggerates, too. And according to factcheck and politifact, more often than romney. So I say, let them go at it, and if they destroy each other in the process so be it.

TALKCLEARLY Even if Obama never serves another term, he’s there now after defeating your girl sarah who disgraced her party, the republicans who were not at all happy with her for making them look foolish. So who has she beaten, other than using her meaningless words to talk about others including those in her own party. “She’s such an american and just loves the american people so.” Then why resign as governor of the people you love so to do reality tv? Why did she resign at all? That would classify anyone as DUMB if she resigned on her own! All the hype about how she may run for pres in 2012. Where is she, on the sideline where I think the republicans would rather have her. Look at all the corruption in the world, during obama and long before because the country is not what it is today because of Obama’s 4 yrs in office. A lot of lieing, stealing, conniving, and other not so nice things has happened at the hands of those with all kinds of degrees from all the top schools. A harvard degree for some is nothing more than a get out of jail free card meaning ” I think I’m better, I can get away with almost anything, I can use others to get what i want by any means necessary” then this “ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL” becomes your america over there and our america over here. A harvard degree buys you votes, liberty and justice for all in “our america” over here. People have disliked sarah, including members of her own party, because her harvard degree bought her everything but an education. Rewind the tape, slow it down, and listen to her uneducated speeches and answers to questions. Her harvard degree makes her not even one of the sharpest knives in the drawer. Where have you been. Not even members of her party give her that much credit. She is a hypocrite and incites trouble by the kind of words she uses just like newt is doing now. Key words used for a purpose like when palin called for Americans to “Take a Stand” after she released a map pointing out different states by way of rifle crosshairs. “Coincidentally” not long after, theres a shooting where a nine yr old dies and Gabrielle Giffords is shot in the head. Gabrielle Giffords’ state “just happened” to be a target on the maps. Your comment is just as smart as she is.

After inserting herself, uninvited, as a figurehead for the Tea Party, Sarah sees that her political competition of the future is rising star Christie. She can’t let that happen.

Where the heck did you folks hear that Sarah Palin has a degree from Harvard?? LOL Sarah spent six years hopscotching her way to a bachelors degree starting at the University of Hawaii. From there she transferred to Hawaii Pacific University for a short stint, then jumped to a community college in Idaho. Next it was the University of Idaho, followed by Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska. She finally returned to the University of Idaho where she received a bachelor’s in communications.
Harvard. LOL

“If I were Chris Christie I’d say, “Well actually, just like Governor Palin, I don’t wear panties”.” – TONY F
Christie and Palin like to go commando!?!?!
Too Much Information
“Where the heck did you folks hear that Sarah Palin has a degree from Harvard??” – JESS DEWITT
Thank Goodness Sarah doesn’t have a degree from Harvard.
I’m tired of these pseudo intellectuals from Ivy League schools screwing up our country.

The real questions is how does the nitwit from Alaska know anything about Governor Christie’s undergarments? She is just jealous because people think he is qualified to run for President or Vice President and nobody thought she was. And pretty stupid argument about him using State transportation for personal use–over and over again she was caught and ethical complaints were filed because she did this as Governor. Even lied and said that her kids were invited to a meeting in New York–and submitted claims for their transportation, meals and staying in a hotel suite. The people in charge of the meeting told the State of Alaska that the children were NOT invited; that Sarah was making things up and she paid the State back. Check these facts–all are on the internet and verified. Seems like it was a minor thing flying to a soccer game versus Palin lying about her kids being guests of honor and having all their expenses paid illegally.

Sarah Palin knows all about panties–she tried to talk Bristol into wearing a g string on Dancing with the Stars. No standards of decency–just a hillbilly from Alaska who has no friends and no class. Of course, Toad recommended Gingrich–Sarah has this tomcat newtered.

All Chris did was state the obvious. Newt was fined and asked to resign by his own party. He led a head hunt for Clinton, wasting 70 million dollars to find out he cheated on his wife, when Newt was doing the same thing on the sly. Why do we want someone like that running the country? It isn’t just that he cheated on his wife, he lied ( another one of those pesky commandments). Did I mention he lied to a ethics panel and was fined $300,000?
There are many politicians in both parties that truly represent the peoples best interest, too bad we only hear about the idiots.
I am a woman and I can dress a dear, still wondering how that would make me a viable candidate for leader of this country. Did I mention that I cut my own firewood, and built the deck on my house?

Sarah Palin is such a sick, shallow person. She thinks that she becomes more important because she gets her name in the news every day by verbally attacking someone else. An enemy a day–might not keep the doctor away, but it is an indicative that she needs to see a mental health professional.
Posted by: PATRICIA | January 27, 2012, 1:56 pm 1:56 pm
To inspire so much rage, Sarah Palin must have more meaning and power well beyond the obvious than I have seen explained by anyone. If she is trivial, why the fuss?

Apparently Sarah Palin has chosen to bully the New Jersey Governor because he is overweight. The dingbat from Alaska is jealous of him because of his popularity–why else would a person verbally attack someone just because she disagrees with them? Petty person-she is seeing her chances of employment dwindling if Gingrich isn’t elected. She cannot stand Romney because of his belief that women should be married before they become pregnant and bring a child into the world. Sarah believes she is God’s chosen one and this just does not fit into her version of a Christian.

What a phoney. Dr. Paul has the right idea–send those two parasites (Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich) off to outer space together. Voters wouldn’t have to worry about all the unethical things these two do to make themselves feel more important. New Jersey Governor shows a lot of class by ignoring the Slut from Alaska’s comments about panties. Sarah was so dumb that she was punked by that phone call when she was running for VP. McCain is smart enough to know that Newt had a hundred crazy ideas a day but couldn’t turn them into reality. Look at Sarah’s new background for FOX interviews–so many half baked ideas that she has a flag-a floral display-a burning fireplace-and her teleprompter reflection all shown at the same time. Couldn’t focus on anything so did what a person with ADD would do and shows them all.
