Palin takes jab at Karl Rove in CPAC speech

By David Ferguson
Saturday, March 16, 2013 14:25 EDT

In her speech on Saturday at the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took jabs at the Republican establishment, gun control advocates, and President Barack Obama. She also singled out former GOP kingmaker Karl Rove, suggesting he return to Texas and run for office himself.

The former vice presidential candidate opened her speech by praising Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

“America, send more like Ted Cruz,” she said. “We need ‘em.”

She then launched into her trademark brand of resentment-driven red meat for the GOP base, dinging the president for wanting universal background checks for gun purchases and for supporting other gun control measures.

Same with this 'Rove' person of whom you speak. I hope Cruz is relegated to obscurity in the not-too-distant future as well.

GOP. People are already tired of her shit and they look at her as if she's off her rocker.

In a way, she's doing us a service!

he raised and spent, to such poor effect! And right up to the end he was insisting they'd win!

Resentment-ridden red meat....that most certainly is her schtick! What a swell turn of phrase! Throw in "rancid" and the picture is fully painted!
