Conservative Pundits Dump on Palin, McCain

Unbeknownst to them, the MSNBC microphone was open today when two prominent conservatives blasted John McCain and his vice presidential pick, Gov. Sarah Palin.

Here's a juicy summary of this very interesting conversation:

Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan and former John McCain adviser, Time columnist, and MSNBC contributor Mike Murphy were caught on tape disparaging John McCain's selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate.

"It's over," Noonan said.

When Chuck Todd asked her if this was the most qualified woman the Republicans could nominate, Noonan responded, "The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives. Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and that's not what they're good at, they blow it."

Murphy characterized the choice as "cynical" and "gimmicky."
