Let's go to the tape...

You may have heard, Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan and former John McCain adviser, and MSNBC guy Mike Murphy were caught on tape discussing the selection of Gov. Unknown as his Vice Presidential running mate. Take it from Jessie Jackson, peeps, you might want to check if your mic is hot... a partial transcript floating around the internets:

"CT: I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too.
PN: Saw Kay this morning.
CT: Yeah, she's never looked comfortable about this --
MM: They're all bummed out.
CT: Yeah, I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?
PN: The most qualified? No! I think they went for this -- excuse me-- political bullshit about narratives --
CT: Yeah they went to a narrative.
MM: I totally agree.
PN: Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.
MM: You know what's really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.
CT: This is cynical, and as you called it, gimmicky.
MM: Yeah."
