Attention Jennifer Millerwise Dyck



Jennifer Millerwise Dyck is a GOP "strategist." This evening she appeared on the O'Reilly Factor to discuss Vanity Fair's hit piece on Governor Palin. My question to Ms. Dyck is this: Do you even attempt to research the issues that you will be talking about on television?

Ms. Dyck suggested that Governor Palin needs to concentrate on serious policy issues. Now, check out the issues that Ms. Dyck mentioned as possibilities for Governor Palin get involved in: energy and foreign relations.

Ms. Dyck should be made aware that over the last two weeks Governor Palin has moved her AGIA pipeline forward, and visited Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

Hello, hello, anybody home? Think, Mcfly, think.

It was clear that this beltway GOP strategist had absolutely no clue on anything relating to Governor Palin. She seemed to know a lot about Mitt Romney though. What else is new?

Update: S.E. Cupp and Kimberly Guilfoyle show how it is done on Hannity.

I just watched this and was thinking the exact same thing. She was blaming Sarah Palin for this article, and we all know that is crazy. She's been busy in Alaska moving us forward in energy independence and many other things. If you're going to call yourself a Republican Strategist, then you need to know a little about Republicans!

Anne June 30, 2009 8:49 PM  

O'Reilly never has folks on that TRULY defend Palin. It suuucks.

Rosie June 30, 2009 8:49 PM  

Do you know her email?

Fox should be ashamed of itself for bringing this clueless Washington hack on the show.

jimr3 June 30, 2009 8:52 PM  

JR,

Thank you for posting this. I got so damn mad watching that. Some of these DC GOP so called "strategists" are jerks.

Brian Davidson June 30, 2009 8:53 PM  

reposted from another thread:

I can't STAND these so called Republicans.... All she highlighted was the Lettermen thing, stating it was bad to be out talking about trivial things.... she completed ignored the fact that the whole point of Sarah's two interviews that day was to discuss the pipeline deal.

I have now heard 2 GOP strategists and Scarborough (on MSNBC) state that instead of worrying about the Lettermen type stuff she should be focused on policies such as Energy.... COMPLETELY IGNORING THE FACT THAT SHE WAS DOING JUST THAT ON THE SAME FRIGGIN INTERVIEWS.

They also give the standard canned responses of " go back to Alaska and be a good governor" and COMPLETELY IGNORING THE FACT THAT SHE IS DOING JUST THAT.

I swear I may never vote GOP ever again (with the exception of a possible Pres. run by SP)

Brian Davidson June 30, 2009 8:54 PM  

I was mad at Crowley.... she is far better on the radio... defends Sarah well...

I think she is Romneybot though from back in '08

ErichNTejas June 30, 2009 8:55 PM  

Sarah needs to get involved in energy?? Uh ok. And Barry needs to start bailing out corporations, or something.

Debtstar June 30, 2009 8:55 PM  

Hit piece, there's plenty of people who could defend Palin , but of some reason some fox people dont't want them there.mitt/rino cabal. No problem with criticism , but these are lies.

O reilly is a scum for doing this , Palin should show up with hannity, Greta and beck to boost them .

Anonymoose June 30, 2009 8:57 PM  

"What else is new?"

O'Reilly wasn't there tonight. Doubt he had anything to do with this clueless lightweight hack being on the show.

Jenny June 30, 2009 8:59 PM  

Dyck, if that is her real name, is not much of a guest. Must have been booked last minute.
Why didn't they book Tammy Bruce for this segment?!
Dyck is a Romney shill.

Debtstar June 30, 2009 8:59 PM  

AL B , isn't it his show , i think he decides what and how they do things even when he isn't there.

Al B. June 30, 2009 9:05 PM  

I guess I'm not really sure. Fox still has the responsibility for the crap they put on so I blame them...LOL.

I know O'Reilly wants Sarah on his show. The Governor met with him in NY so maybe she's laying the groundwork to do that. She better get him to agree not to make the interview about him, as he's prone to do.

Holly June 30, 2009 9:06 PM  

They're going to talk about this tonight on Hannity, too. Let's hope they do a better job than they did on O'Reilly, though that wouldn't take much.

snooper June 30, 2009 9:09 PM  

What a moron, she just kept harping on the Letterman thing rather than talk about how wrong the backstabbing is. Of course then I saw that she was a Bush Communications Director and I totally understood the "just hide under your desk" mentality.

Doug (formerly DB) June 30, 2009 9:14 PM  

I just updated my list of "GOP Insiders" who are in the tank for Mittens and, more importantly, who Governor Palin shouldn't have anything to do with when she runs.

Nicole Wallace
Kevin Madden
Michelle Laxalt
Mathew Dowd
Mark McKinnon
Carl Forti

baboonking June 30, 2009 9:14 PM  

i don't have a problem with what she said. sure she didn't say anything good about the guv but she also didn't say anything bad.

she just gave her adivice and i doubt she follows the guv as closely as others.

one thing she should have done was slam the so called insiders because thats just bad for the party.

baboonking June 30, 2009 9:16 PM  

Doug,

i think adding her to the list is overkill. are we going to put anyone on the list who disagrees with the guv? or is for people who slam the guv?

Al B. June 30, 2009 9:18 PM  

I'd put her on the list for being unprepared, if nothing else. She's not up to working for Governor Palin.

Mark McKinnon is best buds with David Axelrod...'nuf said.

techno June 30, 2009 9:25 PM  

When you think about it: Sarah's two main opponents have the media in their pokcet (Huckabee with his own program on Fox News and Romney's surrogates all over cable news slamming Sarah and trying to diminish her any way they can)with Sarah having virtually no representation to advocate for her positions on cable news and Sarah still has more Republicans in her corner than either Huckabee or Romney.

If that isn't star power tell me what it is!

Doug (formerly DB) June 30, 2009 9:28 PM  

Baboonking,
The list is a work in progress and can change. To be on the list, one has to either promote Romney when asked about Palin or say derogatory words about Palin that are not based on anything substantive. I go back and forth on Mark McKinnon. He has been better lately so I am thinking of taking him off.

baboonking June 30, 2009 9:31 PM  

Doug,

i see :)

redstate has a separate list of lepers (as they call them) on those in the mccain staff that (continue to) bash the guv.

Al B. June 30, 2009 9:35 PM  

Doug -- in case you haven't seen this, from the Daily Beast:

Washington Frenemies

"1. WHAT HAPPENS IN HOUSTON…: Rahm Emanuel, chief of staff-designate for Obama; Mark McKinnon, former Bush ad man and McCain strategist; David Axelrod, presidential adviser-designate for Obama; Bill McInturf, Republican pollster; Matthew Dowd, former Bush strategist. This motley crew, all with major roles in recent political contests, came together as consultants drafted for the 1991 Houston mayoral race of businessman Bob Lanier. All friends still, McKinnon and Axelrod remain the closest: "There the bond developed and never broke," says McKinnon. "Although technically, neither of us live in D.C. Maybe that's why we're friends." This dream team wound up guiding Lanier to victory, a feat McKinnon still marvels at: "On paper the guy was totally unelectable." Emanuel ran opposition research—"hall of fame level," says McKinnon—and the rest of the group argued and spent Lanier's money. "Was great fun and it was a time we were all younger and most of us had more hair," says Dowd. "And the conference calls together were quite the discussion." Infighting, however, was limited, perhaps due to Lanier's instruction that the team need not argue about who would get the most credit or the biggest cut of the campaign budget: "Lanier was smoking a cigar, his size 14 cowboy boots on the desk," McKinnon remembers. "And [then he] drawled: 'Boys, just spend it till you waste it.'" There is a lesson here for Barack Obama, but I'll let Axelrod figure it out."

techno June 30, 2009 9:36 PM  

Holly (8:47)

Isn't that the same logic of accusing a wife of bringing on a beating by her husband by talking back to him?

jimr3 June 30, 2009 9:41 PM  

What was the premise of the O’Reilly segment supposed to be? I thought it was to discuss the VF piece and whether or not it was fair and balanced. Somehow this got turned into a Sarah versus Letterman discussion and that subliminally the VF piece was basically Sarah’s fault without having to outright say so. Then they had advice for Sarah to go home and govern. Go oversees – go to Russia and do substantive stuff. Like JR said – Hello anybody home? There was no mention that the VF piece was simply a rehashing of past lies and smears. No mention of the three campaign staffers coming to the defense of Sarah – nothing. And as they spoke of Romney they somehow had file footage of Romney looking “tanned, rested and ready” as they spoke of him approvingly – how convenient. This was another hit piece on Sarah. Pure and simple. And I blame Monica Crowley just as much as the GOP strategist.

Patty Hewes June 30, 2009 9:45 PM

I thought Hannity was going to discuss it?

jimr3 June 30, 2009 9:46 PM  

Well crap, I missed the Hannity segment - still fuming over the Crowley segment.

Doug (formerly DB) June 30, 2009 9:46 PM  

Baboonking,
I guess I really don't have a scientific method of selection for my sh*t list. Whenever I hear anyone mention anything related to her being too "divisive" or "religious" or a "diva" or that she hurt the McCain campaign, that results in an automatic inclusion to the list. Also anyone who hs a history of working for Romney. The following 5 all have a history of going on cable TV and dissing Governor Palin with unsubstantiated BS and are the worst of the list.

John Feehery
Rob Gray
Mike Murphy
Matt Braynard
Kevin Madden

All 5 of them have worked for Romney in the past. Braynard is the one who went nuts on Free Republic a few weeks ago and was outed by Josh Painter I think.

Nicole Wallace is the one most likely to have spread that BS about Palin's clothes. Another one, Steve Schmidt, I forgot to add to the list. He's on now. William Kristol outed him today as a PDS sufferer on McCain's staff.

Michelle Laxalt has said that Sarah Palin is not where the Republicans should go in the future. Matt Dowd said that McCain put our country in great danger by nominating Palin to be VP. Mark McKinnon I'm on the edge with. I don't know who Carla Forti is but Wisetrog said she should be on the list.

Again, the first five above,

John Feehery
Rob Gray
Mike Murphy
Matt Braynard
Kevin Madden

Are the worst and she would be nuts to have anything to do with them. They will say or do anything to help Mittens and denigrate Governor Palin.

Holly June 30, 2009 9:47 PM  

Techno--I agree with you. I think Ms. Dyck's logic here is incredibly faulty. I don't think she meant to come out and say anything bad or incorrect about Gov. Palin, but that's the way it came out, and I don't like it.

I LOVED the segment on Hannity, and his joke about coming out and calling a Democrat a "slutty flight attendant" was funny, and he made the right move at not saying it. They were strong behind her. And now the Great American Panel is behind her. I love Sean Hannity.

Al B. June 30, 2009 9:48 PM  

For those interested, S.E. Cupp is also a terrific writer. She wrote a great piece in Newsmax:

Two-faced Feminism Is Dead (Good Riddance)

SallyW June 30, 2009 9:52 PM  

My daughter and I saw this segment together and I thought the exact same thing. She totally lacked an intelligent response. My daughter's response was that she can't wait until Sarah's president so she can tell those publications to take a flying leap when they want an interview.

Carmelo Junior June 30, 2009 10:09 PM  

Folks,


Don't worry about Romney. This guy has more chances to convert to Catholicism than winning more than 12 primaries in 2012.

I'd say he drops out the race by February 15, 2012 and endorses Sarah. His bots will eventually side with Sarah(most of them).

History repeats itself. Gulliani was the guy. He was endorsed by almost everybody. Polls showed him on top yet he did not win One single primary.

techno June 30, 2009 10:10 PM  

Sean Hannity is a strange dude. At times he appears to be favoring Romney and then he suddenly shifts over to giving Palin some love.

I get the impression the recent PPP poll and the PEW poll helped bring him around and remember he emails or talks to Rush and Mark Levin on a regular basis.

One thing Sean doesn't want to do is box himself in for example supporting Romney while Rush and Mark become staunch Palin supporters.

Sean is not stupid. He knows he follows Rush on his time slot and much of Rush's audience stays to listen to Sean. Publicly disagreeing with Rush is suicide for a Republican, likewise for a right-wing talk show host as well.

jimr3 June 30, 2009 10:10 PM  

I missed the Kimberly Guilfoyle, and SE Cupp segment. From reading the comments it sounds like it was very good. I did see the Great American Panel and thought for the most part it was good. Except that whenever one of these GOP “strategist” such as the one on the panel suggests and questions whether or not Sarah can expand her appeal outside of the base I find it to be a sneaky way of back stabbing her. I thought the “strategist” actually went out of her way to make the point. This is the second GOP strategist on Fox to make that point tonight. Keep in mind this is the argument the democrats also use on Sarah. Why would a GOP ‘strategist” say what the democrats are saying? If they say enough it becomes the truth. And that is their point.

sandra June 30, 2009 10:10 PM  

Sarah is going to need more experience with foreign policy than a visit to Alaskan troops. How is she going to get this?

gardunne63 June 30, 2009 10:10 PM  

Again I ask the question - what qualifications does one have to have to be a "Republican consultant"? Who does one have to do?

It's no surprise the leaders of the Republican party are so misogynistic when they are surrounded by these dim-bulb female "consultants".

JohnDoeAt30Below June 30, 2009 10:11 PM  

I'm confused. Why would anyone bother to discuss the VF article...at all? Rehashed old crap, innuendo and left wing opinion. Why waste 10 seconds with this tripe?

Kathmak June 30, 2009 10:13 PM  

I'm glad I was not the only who thought that segment was a bunch of BS. The thing that really steamed me is when Dyck opined that Sarah Palin could stay out of the limelight if she didn't get into a "tit for tat" with Letterman. Say what?!! First of all, why in the heck should she stay out of the limelight? She's the Gov of Alaska for pete's sake. Secondly, Letterman is the one who started all of that with his vicious comments, and she merely responded. I personally am sick of conservatives not defending themselves after being slammed by the goons on the left.

You go Sarah!

gardunne63 June 30, 2009 10:13 PM

narciso June 30, 2009 10:15 PM  

They were very good, could have talked more about the pipeline, or missile defense, or the stimulus.
BTW, even outside of politics, Gavin Newsom proves himself a fool.Mrs. Millerwise seems to be a fan of the Larry King school of preparation, Then again,what she
proffer of her candidate, Romney.
Romneycare, supporting Obama's ousting of the GM CEO, saying Obama
"policies must not be allowed to fail" or Obama's tough statement on Iran, I can see why she wants to change the subject.

GoneWithTheRINO June 30, 2009 10:16 PM  

Forget Crowley, I've been pissed off at Bill O'Reilly since he had Carl Cameron on after the election to spew lies about Gov. Palin from "anonymous McCain sources" (aslo known as Steve Schmidt).

O'Reilly never went back and corrected it, even after the statements were proven to be blatantly and 100% *false*. I guess he didn't want to hurt the feelings of poor Carl.

My pissed off feelings have been ramped up to the max against BOR since he refused to publicize the online fundraiser for Palin's debt, after *saying* he *would*.

He proved that, despite his "bloviating", he is not a "patriot" or a "stand up guy".

As for Crowley, isn't her sister married to Alan Colmes?

"As for Crowley, isn't her sister married to Alan Colmes?"

Yes

Brian72 June 30, 2009 10:19 PM  

My take on the first segment from thread below:


"That Jennifer Millerwise was the Deputy Communications Director for Bush Cheney '04. They are lucky that they had Kerry to run against, because that was the lamest comm strategy advice that I have ever heard.

Let your detractors say whatever they want about YOUR CHILDREN, and just ignore it. Well, that worked out great for Bush and Cheney while they were in office, didn't it?
VP Cheney has been effective since he's been liberated to respond to the slanders against everyone involved in the interrogation operations.

You must fight the slanders, or they will set in concrete with the public.
Yes, you need to be a little careful in how you go about doing it, so you don't get mudded up yourself, but it should be handled the way Sarah handled it, IMHO.
It was effective, Letterman came out the loser, she came out the winner and forced even the PDS-afflicted NOW to tepidly back her up.

The gas pipeline was a big energy policy win, and that is what she talked about first, as we all know.
The media wanted the Letterman story response, and she used that opportunity to smack him for dragging her daughters into the mix.
It was the right thing to do, and she did it the right way.

Millerwise is either ignorant about the situation, or deliberately diminishing Sarah's accomplishments since the campaign on behalf of Romney.

I won't say which, because I have always liked Jennifer, she has been on FOX many times.
She is a very well spoken, attractive and likable spokesperson for our side, maybe she just did not know about the energy side of Palin's interviews because she only saw the media chop-down rehash of the interviews later, where the pipeline was left on the cutting room floor, very intentionally by the media types.

I will give Jennifer the benefit of the doubt for now, until I hear more from her about Sarah as time goes on.
DC Poli-comm types are susceptible to the conventional wisdom just like everybody else.
It was a very disappointing segment, given the headline.

It is possible that she knew exactly what she was doing, and is a Beltway Romneybot already.
I hope not, but it could be.
We shall see, and I will be watching her statements from now on to see if she goes on the list of Republicans who don't get it.

June 30, 2009 8:53 PM"

Don't dump on Monica Crowley so hard, she's normally pretty good about Sarah Palin. Could be just an off night for her, IMO.

Brian72 June 30, 2009 10:22 PM  

I'm curious about what Greta has. Something different from what we have heard so far, sounds like.

gardunne63 June 30, 2009 10:22 PM  

"Sarah is going to need more experience with foreign policy than a visit to Alaskan troops. How is she going to get this?"

Sandra, maybe she can tag along with Obama on the next State Dept trip to Austria so she can bone up on her "Austrian" language skills. The Dept of the Interior can send her on a fact-finding mission to try to discover those seven missing states that make up our Republic's 57 states, according to Obama.

How many govenors have time to hone their foreign policy skills? Unlike most political jobs, being a govenor is a full-time job.

Brian Davidson June 30, 2009 10:23 PM  

"Sarah is going to need more experience with foreign policy than a visit to Alaskan troops. How is she going to get this?"

What FP experience did Obama have? Bush 2? Clinton?

None.

They hired advisers who peppered them with talking points and briefings. Gov. Palin's new AG is an interesting selection... look up his resume, and tell me that isn't related somehow to her future aspirations.

CCRWM June 30, 2009 10:25 PM  

I got the impression that Dyck didn't want to say anything positive about Palin. Crowley did interrupt her and tried to bring her back to the point that 8 months after the election ended why is Palin still a target but Dyck didn't want to bite and then later it became obvious she is a Romney supporter. I love both Hannity segments much better. I think all in all Sarah got good coverage tonight.

jimr3 June 30, 2009 10:30 PM  

Allah @ Hot Air has is take on the VF hit piece.

In part: "I actually do hope she runs. The more I think about it, the more fascinating a Romney/Palin showdown in the primaries seems. She’ll have evangelicals and talk radio on her side; he’ll have moderates and, in all likelihood, superior organization. You can imagine Iowa breaking for her, New Hampshire breaking for him, and then war in South Carolina and Florida."

MarkRNY June 30, 2009 10:51 PM  

What's disturbing is that her defenders seem to know nothing about what she accomplished while she was here with that pipeline. Convincing EXXON-Mobile to sign on has positive implications for all "57" States, and it's going to loom large come '012. Not too shabby.

Forget Crowley, she's a wannabe, but imo, Rush, Levine, Laura and GRETA should be e-mailed en masse and made aware of it and its importance.

This bromide about "not responding" when her daughter's viciously attacked is crap. She handled herself with class and cleaned the Left's clock. Letterman would have rather chewed glass then "apologize", but the smart assed punk did. That was a victory for young women and their parents everywhere--and the Left-Kathleen Parker/Peggy Noonan Republicans are more TERRIFIED of her than ever!

She wins/They lose.

Gov. Palin is not commenting on this whole thing because she probably will write about it in her book.

When he speaks we should all perk up and listen.

Rush was brilliant today. Especially with his smackdown of that caller who tried to claim 'that could never happen in this country'.
Gov. Palin should download Rush onto her Ipod for her long runs. Now that's what I call a 'mind and body' workout.

"The Clone Wars have begun" heh,Or possibly the Spanish Civil War I don't think she'll dwell too much on that Gardunne, and Jean A, although seeing Lynn Vincent's combative style, there might be a mention. Lord almighty, I know we might be accused of idolatry, but at least she's talking about real issues, what is Team Romney doing, driving a truncheon into the base. I'd be glad if she didn't have to run, but who's a likelyalternative I come up dry. Demint, Bachman, they'd be kind of newer, rather than the retreads like Romney and
Huckabee.

Did Greta ever have what Palin said abour OB? My damn phone rang and I missed it.

The no spin zone went into a tail spin tonight. Inspired to make last minute donation to SarahPAC. Palin will need all we can give to save our country.
I think we will experience joy when we all can say Madam President Sarah Palin!
A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief (anguish, agony) because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she no longer remembers her pain (trouble, anguish) because she is so glad that a man (a child, a human being) has been born into the world.

Maybe we should have a Palin: ON THE ISSUES special. A one-stop shop for all the ankle-biters and skeptics to rummage through her substantive remarks/accomplishments/beliefs.

I mean, apparently too many talk show hosts and their guest don't do sufficient research. I suppose I can't blame them...to an extent.

I mean, I'm a busy girl- I know I don't have time to do all the research. I'm just thankful that the editors at C4P do, and I am supportive when and where I can be.

Just a thought. :)

Greta talked about the Guv's interview with Runner's World and how she said she could beat Obama in an endurance race. She also mentioned the music that she likes to listen to while running.

If it ain't Sarah for the GOP in 2012, I'm out of the GOP and I'll take my chances with another term of Obama and a Kalishnykov or AR-15.

I mean it. I'm so sick and tired of the GOP being Dem-lite.

I'd rather fight the Devil head on rather than be the bitch of one of his underlings.

sapwolf,

I keep saying, there are more of us than there are of them.

I say we start demanding bumper stickers that say simply "I support Sarah Palin". Then start blanketing the USA - and beyond.

karas60062 July 1, 2009 1:57 AM  

I do not understand how all these so called GOP strategists always telling Sarah what she should do and what she should say .Thank God she does not listen.She knows exactly what to do .We all have our wishlist but trust her and do not underestimate her.
What about that Hanriety lady on Hannitys Great American Panel- Disaster.Cupp and Guilfoyle-Great

TommyReport July 1, 2009 1:59 AM  

I actually think she is on the cover for August Runners magazine.

What's on the website is still the cover for July.

Lorna,

If you are around, can you tweet Malek about today's events.

gamsbo July 1, 2009 2:24 AM  

All day I read the junk that is written about Gov. Palin...I put some comments of some of these blogs...by the end of the day...I am tired...mad...and just do not understand these people that feel they can say what ever they want about the governor...it makes me so sad...

I have started doing something at the end of the day...I go on YouTube and listen to one of Gov. Palin's speeches and it makes me feel better but I do wonder how these haters don't see what I see...so I say my prays that tomorrow will be different but knowing I will do the best I can to stand up and defend if needed...knowing that God is Faithful...God Bless All

Sorry to toot my own horn, but I said this a couple of days ago. If Palin "waits" for 2016, her opponent will be an entrenched socialist named Obama.

Me & Rush: GMTA!

I saw Dyck last night and it's a shame Monica didn't correct her about the Letterman issue. Dyck is down there with Peggy Noonan and her beltway elite.

WeLoveAlaska July 1, 2009 8:49 AM  

So glad that C4P posted this. Hannity reported on the article as well. The Republican strategist in his panel was just as bad--unbelievable!

narciso July 1, 2009 9:10 AM  

These people, (Dyck, Laxalt, and increasingly Hanretty) make me feel of being in the same party. They don't stand for anything it seems, they act in the manner that they attribute to Sarah, not caring
about anything, like I say I
wouldn't have them at Helm's Deep
or the Gates of Fire.

chspats2006 July 1, 2009 4:16 PM  

Seeing Jennifer Millerwise Dyck talking about Palin reminded me of a scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers where Denethor blames his son Faramir for losing the city in the first place, at that Boromir says "You give him no credit yet he tries to do your will." She says that Palin should talk about energy and foreign policy, yet she gives her no credit for working on the pipeline and traveling to eastern europe. Palin instead of talking about these things has actually acted on these things, no matter what accomplishments she has they will never give her any credit for them.
