Sarah Palin dismisses Barbara Bush as a ‘blue blood’

The Ticket

Sarah Palin didn't much care for former first lady Barbara Bush's suggestion that she "stay in Alaska" instead of running for president in 2012.

In an interview Wednesday with radio host Laura Ingraham, Palin insisted that she loves the Bush family but called them "blue bloods who want to pick and choose their winners instead of allow competition to pick and choose the winners."

"I think the majority of Americans don't want to put up with the blue bloods," Palin told Ingraham. "And I say it with all due respect, because I love the Bushes. "

Asked why the Bush family is trying to "kneecap" her, Palin responded, "I don't know. Competition is good. … These folks trying to shoot internally makes no sense, but that's the way they roll."
