Bill O’Reilly To Sarah Palin: “Is That Presidential, You And Kate Gosselin In A Forest?”

video
» 64 comments

Bill O’Reilly had Sarah Palin on the Factor tonight, and he wanted to know something many have wondered: are Palin’s TLC program and new book presidential, or might they hurt her politically? Palin, of course, didn’t seem concerned.

Palin said she thought there was nothing non-presidential about the book, since it talks about her vision for America, so O’Reilly asked how the show, specifically, helps her politically – if it does at all. It was a bit surprising here that Palin didn’t take the opportunityto say something like, “Well, I don’t worry about how it affects my political career,” since it was a golden opportunity to do just that. Instead, she boasted of the premiere’s stellar ratings, saying it shows the program is doing a good job promoting Alaska, as she intended.

O’Reilly, though, wasn’t going to let the opportunity to tweak Palin over Kate Gosselin’s appearance on her program pass, leading to the best line of the segment:

“Is that poresidential, you and Kate Gosselin in a forest?”

Palin responded with a mock apology for not being “hoity-toity,” and indicated she would not appoint Gosselin to a Cabinet position.

The rest of the segment played out about how you’d think – i.e., a lot of decrying government control – with Palin saying a liberal woman can be a Mama Grizzly as long as they emphasize “individual responsibility” over big government. O’Reilly also had her address her belief she’s a feminist – Palin responded by slamming “hypocrisy with women’s rights groups,” which had to do with their supporting “bigger government” over promoting self-reliance and work ethic. Video of the clip, via Fox News, below.

    Not according to the Liberal American public:
    NBC News/WSJ: Palin’s approval rating, 29%; disapproval rating, 43%. She’s more unpopular than Hillary Clinton during the 90s. OH!

    The trend on her popularity has been going UP among the groups that already like her (Tea Part, whites, old people) and DOWN among EVERYONE ELSE (Independents, college educated, middle aged, under 30, women!).

    Please, Sarah run. You’ll lose worse than Goldwater (a real conservative, by the way)!

  • SUPER Chundy

    “Liberal women co-opted the term feminist”? Huh?

    Apparently, Palin never read The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir. Not that I’m surprised. What do you expect from someone who studied communications at University of Idaho. Go Vandals!

    Can’t to register as a republican, so that I can vote for her in the primaries. It’s either her or Mr. Liberal, Mitt Romney. I have to decide who has less of a chance to win.

    Liberals – dumb and not even aware of it…. also the most racist, bigoted, narrow-minded group on Earth.

    And after all this time they told the rest of us they were open minded, embracing, tolerant, loving and even heard “it takes a village”. Unfortunately, I think that village is populated with pedophiles and man/boy love advocates, which is why they want to be in constant contact with the kids.

    I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

    If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you’re “exotic, different.”

    Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story.
    If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

    Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.
    Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

    Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well grounded.

    If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.

    If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s President.

    If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.

    If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married heiress Cindy the next month, you’re a Christian.

    If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

    If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.

    If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America’s.

    If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

    OK, much clearer now.

    That wasn’t really the point I was trying to make. I am tired of this Fox News fluff when it comes to Palin. I want substance, regardless of what she has to say. I think she is a capable person but you would never know that with BS interviews like these. I am not expecting a soliloquy every time she is on but the Palin brown nosing is getting ridiculous.

    That’s rather like saying Julia Child was a cook or George Balanchine a musician.”La Beauvoir” was indeed a feminist, and — Le deuxième sexe — is the seminal feminist work, but she was also a wonderful novelist. One of her key themes is personal accountability and individual responsibility, something about which the Drop Out Governor does, indeed, need a primer. La Beauvoir also collaborated with Sartre in the development of the existentialist school in France. She is likely the most important female literary figure in the last decade, perhaps in the last millenium.

    By the way, she was a stubborn anti-collaborationist in the war and was black-listed by the Nazis.

    Your remarks are ignorant and foolish.

  • CAconservative

    Mrs.Palin may very well become our next, and first female president. It angers the Liberal Progressives to no end that this women promotes personal responsibility. Personal responsibility, and character goes against everything Obimo’s quasi-socialist agenda promotes. Mrs.Palin’s view clearly underlines the cultural adhesiveness of America. It’s that adhesiveness that must be destroyed if Obimb’s socialist agenda is to be put into place.

    In my lifetime I saw the first African American elected President. I hope to see the Cubs win the world series. I would really like to see the first female President. Let’s not ruin it by electing this divisive half-term quitter whose best quality is complaining about how others do their jobs yet offers no solutions. She’s nothing more than a walking, talking collection of bumper sticker-like sayings capitalizing on the angers and frustrations of people with real problems.
