It looks like I am going to have to make a category exclusively for the VP Sarah Palin. Here is a transcript of what pundits have to say when they think the microphones are off.
Transcript of hot-mike snafu with Peggy Noonan, Chuck Todd, Mike Murphy;
Noonan: [Can't hear since Todd (who is still on air) is talking over her]
Murphy: Um, you know, because, I come out of the blue swing state governor world. Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys, this is all how you win a Texas race, just run it up, and it’s not gonna work.
Noonan: It’s Over.
Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good.
Todd: “.. insulting to Kay Baily Hutchinson…”
Noonan: Saw Kay this morning.
Todd: She’s never looked comfortable up there..
Murphy: Oh, ***** that.
Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can obtain?
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political ***** about narratives…[couldn't hear the end of it]
Todd: Yeah, but what’s a narrative?
Murphy: I totally agree.
Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at, they blow it.
Murphy: You know what’s the worst thing about it, the greatest of McCain is no cynicism, and..
Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical.
Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky.
