Karl Rove on Palin

"With all due respect again to Governor Palin, she’s been a governor for less than 2 years, she’s been able but undistinguished. I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. She was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. And again, with all due respect to Wasilla, Alaska, it’s smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa or Gilbert, Arizona; north Las Vegas or Henderson, Nevada. It’s not a big town. So if McCain were to pick Governor Palin, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States?Rove argues that Palin’s mayorship of Wasilla (pop. 8000+) is insignificant and that his 2 years as Governor of Alaska (pop. 683,478, GDP $44.5 million) has been “indistinguishable.”

Except, replace Palin with Tim Kaine of Governer of Virginia and the rest is still true. Thanks to Rove for confirming my views on Palin which I blogged earlier.

UPDATE: My favorite Jon Stewart did a segment with Video. Enjoy!
