Beck Rules Out 2012 Run With Palin: She'd Always Be 'Yapping' Like We're 'In The Kitchen' (AUDIO)
Fox News host Glenn Beck put to rest any rumors of one possible "dream ticket" team for 2012: Palin-Beck. On his radio show Thursday, Beck said he was "absolutely" ruling out the possibility of running for office with the ex-governor at the top of the ticket. His proffered reason: Palin would always be "yapping," like they were "in the kitchen."

Earlier in the week Palin said that she was open to the idea of pairing up with Beck. Palin told Fox News she "got a kick" out of the idea of them running together. She went on cheerfully, "He probably thought it was just a hoot too. I don't know, we'll see." Palin told Newsmax she could "envision a couple of different combinations, if ever I were to be in a position to really even seriously consider running for anything in the future, and I'm not there yet." She added: "But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He's a hoot."

It looks like the respect might not be mutual. From the morning's radio show:

BECK: I don't think things are hoots. I don't. I don't think it's a hoot. I would never use the word hoot, and I respectfully ask that every time my name is brought up she would stop using the word 'hoot.' <...>
No, no I'm just saying -- Beck-Palin, I'll consider. But Palin-Beck -- can you imagine, can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? What? Come on! She'd be yapping or something, and I'd say, "I'm sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I'm not in the kitchen."

She is going to roast him like a marshmallow. Her followers will too. I think she has the supporters he wishes he had. I also think she is one reason he gets crazier. When they are both in the news, she takes all the air out of the publicity.

2. Even that dizzy woman wouldn't want Beck as a running mate.
She's more a Joe the Plumber type.

4. I finally see a pattern in Beck's behavior
Edited on Thu Nov-26-09 05:57 PM by lunatica
Beck has consistently been the first to use really rude and nasty language that had virtually vanished from the media. His blatantly racist comments shocked at first but then other people picked it up and now all the closet racists are racing to out themselves. It used to be that racism and misogyny were whispered in like minded groups in private. Those days are gone. All the hate is boiling over.

Now he's started with the misogyny. Wait and see if it too doesn't rear it's ugly head just like racism has. Suddenly all that pent up anger from men who feel all the other races and women (including white women) have picked on them and robbed them of their birthright will be blasted on the airwaves. I don't shock easily but to hear him say these disgusting things on international television is very disturbing. We all have to fight this crap. It's time to move onward, not backwards to the good old days when old white men ran everything. Every time he opens his mouth his intent is to insert the unspeakable into the open. He's doing it on purpose.

I dislike Sarah Palin intensely but for him to say publicly she'd be yapping like they were in the kitchen is truly rude. He's showing what he thinks of all women. He thinks we're all prostitutes and we all yap and belong in the kitchen.

What he says in private or to his friends is his business. What he says on the public airwaves is our business.

5. More proof that the cry of sexism is phony GOP bullshit

We know how they really think, and jerkoffs like BecKKK can't hide it. Nice try, assholes.

7. Even Glenn Beck thinks she's an idiot
And he's right. Anyone who describes the people they admire as a "hoot" has a severe inability to express themselves in plain English.

However, Beck had to express himself in sexist terms. Describing Palin as a nagging housewife in the kitchen who won't shut up doesn't exactly elevate himself in my opinion.

10. Beck knows that if he ran for office, he'd have to give up his gravy train TV show.
He already gets a lot of cash for conning the rubes. Why give that up for a *chance* at conning the same rubes from a different location?

11. I've always wondered what might happen if a woman ran as a serious candidate in the GOP primaries
Feminism drove a lot of reactionary men into that party after all. Their reactionary to her nomination would be hilarious.

12. HE wants to be Homecoming Queen of the Freeps, not one of her attendants
If Beck were clever, I'd think he was ginning up support for her through "no he did unt" outrage, but what we're witnessing is a slap fight between two popular yet vapid celebrities.
