(CNN) - If Sarah Palin is looking for a top political strategist to help navigate the waters of her political future, Karl Rove may not be the guy.
The former top Bush aide says the former Alaska governor has not proven to have the "gravitas" to sit in the Oval Office - and, says Rove, her upcoming reality television show is only going to make things worse.
"With all due candor, appearing on your own reality show on the Discovery Channel, I am not certain how that fits in the American calculus of 'that helps me see you in the Oval Office,'" Rove told London's The Daily Telegraph in an interview published Wednesday night.
The senior GOP strategist, who, like Palin, is a contributor to Fox News, added that one of Palin's comments in the preview of her new show is particularly harmful to future political ambitions.
"I would rather be doing this than in some stuffy old political office!" Palin is seen proclaiming in between scenes of kayaking and dog-sled excursions.
lacks "gravitas" ??? what, so now she isn't fat enough to be POTUS??? :lamo
how much "gravitas" did Obama have in '08??? :shrug:
"Gravitas" tends to be code for "I can't really enunciate what I don't like about him/her, so I'll just throw out this fancy Latin term that makes me sound smart and hope that people will fall for it."I think "gravitas" is a codeword here for IQ.

Karl Rove needs to STFU. He just doesn't want her to run so the GOP can put up another lame assed old white guy. Rove is definitely "old school" and thinks women should be barefoot and pregnant.

How is it a fancy Latin word? It means exactly what it sounds like, gravity..

In the words of one of our most famous posters: Be afraid my left wing friends. Be very afraid.
:failpail:
Miserably. :lol:
What are you unable to use a dictionary? The two words "Gravitas" and "Gravity" are cognates, and the Ennglish word gravity, as in importance or seriousness, is almost exactly the same shade of meaning as the Latin virtue of gravitas.

I don't see how she could ever be nominated. Even Mitt Romney could beat her.
yes, I am sure Rove was talking about her "Gravity" :roll:
I think your right. But democrats can dream can't they?
even most democrats are not dreaming of 4 more years of Obama. :shrug:
Not sure you're right about that, but if so, for a different reason than conservatives aren't. Many of them think he hasn't gone far enough. They want someone more liberal.
well...Jimmy Carter still has 4 years of eligibility left.
He didn't go far enough for some as well.
Sorry comrade, we are not a collectivist ****hole of a country. Will never be either.
Aren't we? We're not socialist, true. Not even close. But we do worjk together and do lots of things as groups and collectives of some form or another. Nothing wrong with this. Nor new. Just as the lame tired unoriginal tactic of calling your opponent a socialist isn't new. Cheap, unoriginal, lazy, but not new.
