Fox News’ Chris Wallace To Sarah Palin: “I Don’t Think You Are Going To Run”

video
» 36 comments

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace had Sarah Palin on as guest yesterday and declared that the race for president in 2012 begins Wednesday, November 3rd. The two discussed, very specifically, the former Alaskan Governor’s intentions to run for highest office, which was predicated by Palin’s previous comment that she’d run “if there’s nobody else to do it.” Wallace concluded the interview by flatly telling her “I don’t think you are going to run.”

Part of the discussion was predicated by an comment made earlier by Karl Rove in which he ostensibly criticized Ms. Palin for participating in a “reality show,” saying:

“There are high standards that the American people have for it [the presidency] and they require a certain level of gravitas, and they want to look at the candidate and say ‘that candidate is doing things that gives me confidence that they are up to the most demanding job in the world’.”

In the following clip you can see that Palin responds by first “agreeing with that” but following an interesting comparison to Ronald Reagan‘s career as an actor in Bedtime for Bonzo. She then addresses the show Sarah Palin’s Alaska, appearing on Discovery by declaring “I’m not in a reality show. I have eight episodes documenting Alaska’s resources, what it is we can contribute to the rest of the US to economically and physically secure our union, and my family comes along because I am family.” Almost sounds…presidential?

Wallace sums up the segment with a uncharacteristically frank and candid opinion, saying “I think you’re having too much fun; I think you’re making too much money. … I don’t think you’re going to run.”

    I don’t think she is going to run, but she gives Liberals something to talk about when she keeps them guessing…lol

    She is better as a power broker.

  • The Real Royal King

    Even the Drop Out Governor realizes that she lacks the discipline for a run at the presidency.

  • TangledThorns

    I hope Sarah Palin runs, she is the president America needs to fix Obama’s failures.

  • ImJustThatDamnGood

    I know one man who wants her to run… Obama.

    Too bad many Democrats don’t want Obama to run in 2012. 47% want someone else to run instead of Obama. They see him as a FAILURE.

    If she were to run and win, it would be an interesting two years. I hope she picks a good running mate.

    The unintentional comedy, alone, would be EPIC!

    When I think of the Drop Out Governor, I think of Alaska. When I think of Alaska, I think of icebergs. That makes me think of the “Titanic”. Those aren’t pleasant thoughts. I also think of iceberg lettuce, and I don’t think iceberg lettuce makes a satisfactory salad. Noise, but little taste. That makes me think of the Drop Out Governor, so it’s all rather circular, don’t you see?

    When I think of royal king, I think of moist, steaming Moose droppings, glistening in the morning sun.

    Then I snap to and realize that he’s just a run of the mill, POS.

    “I think you’re having too much fun; I think you’re making too much money. … I don’t think you’re going to run.”

    Finally! Wallace is now saying exactly what I wrote in these threads eons ago. No way. No how is Palin going to run for higher office.
    Take it to the bank.
    I even called the Packers/Jets game yesterday……
    I rest my case.

    That woman is so full of shit that it’s just crazy. She’s not going to run for president because she’d lose 40 states.

    Talking points that she will only say on FOX. Would Americans ever elect a President that would refuse to appear on Meet the Press/other nes shows? I think not. She is playing this silly game just to keep herself in the money!!

  • writer

    Please run, Hillary. It’s so much fun watching the left call each other racists for a change.

  • HC7R

    Sarah Palin will never run:

    1) She is a quitter.
    2) She loves money more.
    3) She loves to spew diarherria.

    Don’t take my word for it. Do your own research!

  • CAconservative

    I would like to see Mrs.Palin serve at least one term in the Senate prior to running for President. She is more than qualified to run but, she needs exposure to the Washington cesspool to give her the necessary insight needed to make the changes that would actually make a difference.

    What CAconservative said. She ain’t ready for prime time, but neither was Obama and look where that got us. And the so-called “king” is a PO moose S and a steaming pile of something else that comes out of bulls.

    Does Sarah tell Todd to “Man Up”?….whoa..that must be some marriage…Todd’s in the kitchen and home with the kids and Sarah’s using foul language and out on the trail “Manning up” and calling everything “crap” and the media “bastards”…. No wonder Todd winces when he sees her. Her looks are deceiving….she’s a big bully in disguise.
    So she has no qualms with using the B word even though her grandson is one.
    Yet she slammed Rahm Emanuel for using reeeetard and took it completely out of context, to play the hurt mother and victim. Following it up by supporting Rush for using the same word by saying it was out of context.
    Then she supported Dr. Laura’s use of the N word 17 times in one brief tirade on the radio but she has no need to cater for the black vote as they know she’s a racist already.
    She has no standards, she is a tight ball of intertwined hypocrisy. Sounds like a drunken sailor every time she cusses/talks like that! This is NOT a LADY and definitely not the kind of woman that belongs in any WHITE HOUSE.
    Palin has become quite the on-air potty mouth.

  • MD

    Sarah Palin and President. Does she have 10% knowledge of any other Political leaders? There are better and stronger candidates in Republican such as Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, John Boehner, Bobby Jindal , Scott Brown . If she stands, story will be same like Christine O’Donnell and Joe Miller.
