Former Clinton Advisor Jami Floyd Calls Sarah Palin “Extraordinary Ass” On MSNBC

(By Ray Rahman, Mediaite) - Things went a little off-script today when former Clinton advisor Jami Floyd visited MSNBC’s 'Jansing and Company' to talk about (what else?) Sarah Palin. She slammed the Mama Grizzly’s political credentials like so: “[Former Governor Frank Keating] said she’s an extraordinary asset to her party. I say she’s an extraordinary ass, franky.” A surprised Chris Jansing wondered whether they could use such language on morning television. “I think we can,” Floyd answered, looking a little smitten with herself. “We’re all grownups.” Indeed.

What prompted her to liken Palin to the Democratic Party’s mascot? She cites Palin’s inability to tell Glenn Beck who her favorite Founding Fathers are. “She brings a lot to the table,” Flyod then said, seemingly backtracking a bit from her harsh comment. “But she’s not the next President of the United States.” Floyd, as MSNBC’s subtitles reminded us, is a former Clinton advisor. She’s currently works for truTV, whose slogan is “Not Reality. Actuality.”
