Less than two hours after Peggy Noonan and former McCain advisor Mike Murphy appeared on MSNBC Wednesday afternoon, a YouTube video appeared of their candid exchange in which they dismissed Sarah Palin’s viability as a VP pick.

What do GOP standbys Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy really think of the Sarah Palin pick? Just watchy-watch: Hearing Peggy say the word “bullshit” is particularly gratifying and hilarious. Maybe she can send her dolphins to help McCain win this nomination. (Via.)

Whoopsie: It’s mild, compared to everything else getting thrown at her. But it’s just interesting that, yet again, there are people who just can’t believe that Palin could have been chosen based on merit.
