Beck Rules Out 2012 Run With Palin: She'd Always Be 'Yapping' Like We're 'In The Kitchen'

“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."…cont…

1. think of a name for that ticket -

Dumb and Dumber is too obvious. So what would we refer to it as?

[Catshrink]

2. Bull-Moose was already used.

Barbie & Glenn?

[Moochy]

6. "Moose and Squirrel"

Orly Taitz could be their communications director.

Beck is definitely a squirrelly nut-lover.

3. Less/Even Less

5. How about "Ass & Sass?"

We can decide who's what later...

21. Heh, reminiscent of "Fritz and Tits"

22. I remember that!

Damn, that was 25 years ago!

We're getting old...:(

10. Quitter and Shitter

It's interchangeable, as both are cowards and liars.

4. A man who makes a living by running his mouth for hours each day thinks she's yapping too much?

:rofl:

[havocmom]

8. Just one more example of how the woman gets criticized for traits the man gets accolades for at work

:evilgrin:

[Nikki Stone1]

17. Actually, that's true.

I understand she's a wingnut Republican teabagger and we can all laugh at those beliefs. But as a woman, she gets the same shit we all do. That is why I can never jump totally on a hate Sarah Palin bandwagon. Some of that hate would be directed toward any woman running, regardless of beliefs.

[havocmom]

20. Yep

[BuelahWitch]

9. Glenn Beck likes his womenfolk with their yaps shut and their legs spread

One leg chained to the oven, the other one chained to the bed.

7. Might turn into chick mud wrestling: Palin & Bachmann at Tea Party Convention?

Egos of the pert & perky political princesses might make for interesting rivalry. The good ol boys are gonna love this show.

Cat fight in the making? Will mud be flung? Bikini pics? Rope-a-dope cure for all the blond jokes of history?

http://www.nationalteapartyconvention.com/

Poor Katherine Harris, just a wee bit too past ripe to get into the ring for the cat fight for attention. Must be lonely in that pasture they retired her too. How long before Palin and Bachmann get put out there too? How long until some talking hair-do from FAUX gets elevated to political shooting star?

12. I'm beginning to see a pattern and method to Beck's madness

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 we all belong in the kitchen so why can he hear any of us if he's not 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.

For those of you who are too young to remember the good old days that Beck pines for, men felt they could say this sort of sexist thing anywhere they wanted to. It was one reason why the feminist movement became strong. Women got sick of being treated like second class citizens and put down by any man anytime. I fought this garbage all my life and I don't feel like giving it a pass any more than I did when it was way too common.

15. Beck wants to be Freep Homecoming Queen, not just an attendant

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.

[Bitwit1234]

16. And now the fun begins because the GOP has another group

they are trying to draft Cheney for a white house run. You know what, if you are down in the dumps and a little depressed, just wait. The republicans will surely with the help of CNN give you a real real real good laugh.

[Me.]

19. I Forgot About That Bit Of Joy For 5 Sec.

[Orsino]

18. I think Palin could get a whole 'nother book written about this...

...and how it isn't her fault.

[Tuvok Obama]

23. And we're not?

The left seems to be doing a lot of self-devouring of its own lately. It looks to me like 2012 will depend on which side can be the first to stop fighting itself.
