Glenn Beck Puts Sarah Palin In The Kitchen – Oh, No He Didn’t!
Reported by Priscilla - November 27, 2009 -
Far be it for me to defend Sarah Palin. Regarding our political and social views, she and I are in different galaxies. I disagree with her on everything. For the most part, what were perceived as “attacks” against her were valid criticisms; although when a few columnists questioned how she could balance work and family, my feminist hackles were raised. So enter Glenn Beck, fresh off his denunciation of Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu as a whore, who does this little “comic” routine about what it would be like if he and Palin were to run for president on the same ticket. Keep in mind this is the same Glenn Beck who claimed that the Newsweek cover photo of Palin was sexist.
So here’s what Beck said on his radio show regarding Palin's take on a Palin/Beck ticket: “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.”
Well,hardeeharhar. So funny I forgot to laught. Sarah Palin, for better or worse, was a governor of Alaska and a candidate for vice-president of the USA. Glenn Beck is a media personality who makes his living (and it’s a good one) cultivating paranoia, fear, anger, and hatred and in so doing further divides his beloved America. A Palin presidential candidacy is possible. A Beck candidacy for anything other than “hatemonger in chief” is delusional. And to think that on this “dream team,” Sarah Palin would be subordinate to Glenn Beck. As if!! “In the Kitchen” – In your dreams, Beck. You might want to go back to “the good old days” when women and minorities “knew their place;” but that’s just not going to happen. I think you owe Ms. Palin an apology for your sexist “joke.” Inasmuch as I’m no fan of Palin’s, “she works hard for the money and you better treat her right.”
