Red Eye‘s Greg Gutfeld Rips Into Wonkette Blogger For His Trig Palin Post

Video
» 44 comments

Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld is, as you may have guessed, none too pleased with Wonkette writer Jack Stuef‘s recent post about Trig Palin – a post that frequently referred to the three-year-old as “retarded” and insinuated he may have been the product of rape and incest. Stuef has since apologized for some of the more offensive choices he made in writing his article, but stands by the post’s basic idea – that Sarah Palin uses her son’s disability as a “prop” to get attention and support.

Gutfeld referred Stuef as a “piece of crap” and, worse, as a hirsute Brooklyn-dwelling hipster who shoots pool and downs PBR while making fun of the disabled children of Republican politicians. Gutfeld then showed a picture of Stuef and remarked that, “Well, maybe he does know suffering… God, what a hideous, pathetic tool.”

And, you know, we get the argument: People shouldn’t blog from glass basements, and it’s lazy and vile to mock a toddler, disabled or otherwise. But we’re not sure pointing out that Stuef isn’t conventionally attractive (by non-Brooklyn standards, at any rate) adds anything to the conversation. He wrote some horrible crap, he was called out on it, and he apologized. (Whether his apology was sincere or not is, honestly, impossible to prove and beside the point. The correct action was eventually taken, and his website continues to pay the price for his less than stellar judgment.)

Plus, saying that the man’s drink of choice is Pabst? That’s just downright cruel, Greg.

Take a look at the segment, via Fox News, and let us know what you think of Gutfeld’s takedown:

    Fox needs to move Red Eye into an earlier timeslot. Gutfeld is hysterical.

  • jdubbellu

    greg eviscerated him! lol stuef is a big fat douche, and come to think of it probably “color me badd”

  • Nacho

    That was hysterical?

    It was a smackdown of a piece of crap bully by another piece of crap bully.

    The comedy was showing a picture of the guy?

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Git R Dun, Greg!

  • Harry Flashman

    Look at Stuef’s picture, then look up the definition of “hygeine challenged blogger who lives in mommy’s basement and writes vile invective while surrounded by empty beer cans, crumpled old McDonald’s bags, and his collection of Hustler magazine”.

    Just sayin’.

  • Chudi

    Is that really his pic…No wonder he hates like kids. He’s a fat slob. He can’t even shave his sparse beard in the morning…what a mess of a guy. He’s probably angry, cus I bet he hasn’t got laid in yrs. Can’t see any girl gong near that, unless he had to pay her.

    I actually thought he would look presentable. If you look like that, you shouldn’t be writing derogatory stuff about people. What a mess.

    I laughed. Humor is pretty subjective, though.

    They should put Red Eye in at 11. I’d be interested to see how Greg would do against Jon Stewart.

    Their roundtable discussions are pretty good too.

    Still going with the equivalency meme, huh? You’ll keep plucking that string that till kingdom comes. You tell me, did Gutfeld ever make fun of someone’s disabled child in a vicious and obscene way?

    Agreed, he is one of FOX’s best though hidden talents. Much better than Stewart who needs 20 writers to sound funny.

    Leave it nacho to be the lone defender of this douchebag. You know, nacho, there are still people who think Jimmy Carter was a good president. Not very many, but a few. In 30 years, you’ll be just like them.

    I’m not defending him. Gutfeld burned him good and deservedly so.

    I just didn’t see any comedic genius though. It was a straight forward school yard burn.

  • Wallycrawler

    I’d rather drink beer with that tool (I’m sure he thought he was writing comedy) than drink Myties with that “closested” Gutfled! Greg pick on someone your own size. I’m think’n Mickey Mouse. He’s your size, without his lifts.

    See that’s comedy! Cause your a short, gay man who’s pretending to be straight. You need direction to get da joke so I thought I’d just spell it out fer ya. Now we ALL know how you came up with da moniker “Red Eye”.

    Another scumbag heard from. Yeah, you’d really enjoy having a drink with someone who mocks disabled 3 yr olds in an obscene way. Considering your hateful misspelled post that doesn’t surpirse anyone.

    I imagine that about 70- 80% of the country just wanted to see the Wonkette fool given a good butt whipping. Comedic genius not necessary. The remaining 20 – 30% think that when a woman shows off her children, she is making “props” out of them and the defenseless children are accordingly fair game. They blame the mother and not the person carrying out the attack. We know which group you are in.

  • OxyCon

    Stuef … stands by the post’s basic idea – that Sarah Palin uses her son’s disability as a “prop” to get attention and support.

    Stuef is just one out of thousands of lefty dicks who created that false “prop” narrative nonsense to exonerate themselves from their own vile, deplorable attacks on Trig and the Palin family. It’s on par with blaming a rape victim, saying she deserved to be raped because she wore sexy clothes.

    An honest person would examine the difference between the way the left has gone after Palin with the way the right disagrees with Obama’s policies and come to the conclusion that the left is motived by a clinical hatred of Palin that should classify as a mental illness, while those one the right may not like Obama personally, they do not even come close to the level of vitriol of the left and mostly attack Obama over policy with some tasteless jokes about him and Michelle. I have yet to see anyone attack Obama’s children, who are both in the public eye, just the same as Palin’s children.

    Obama remarked yesterday during his press conference that Malia asked him of the Gulf oil spill: “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” Beck, taking off on this, mockingly affected Malia’s voice, asking “Daddy” why he “hates black people so much.” Then Beck attacked Malia’s intelligence, saying: “That’s the level of their education, that they’re coming to — they’re coming to Daddy and saying, ‘Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?’ ”

    This routine continued for several minutes, as Beck and his co-hosts touched on a variety of topics and laughed the entire time, all of it at the expense of an 11-year-old girl.

    Nothing compared to the attack on Trig. And isn’t it interesting how you libs grasp for moral equivalencies rather than condemning what happened. Did you see the Wonkette piece? A mentally disabled baby being dry humped by a naked woman on a swing? His handicap being mocked, incest jokes about his parentage? Sorry, but your Beck clip doesn’t even compare. And consider how many times the Palin family has been trashed in the media compared to the Obama girls. Get real.

  • seek

    Chili – the point Beck was making had nothing to do with Obama’s Daughter – it was the fact that Obama was making his daughter part of the story – Beck didn’t like that. At least if you’re going to suddenly show moral outrage, get it right.

    I hope that Jack Steuf never gets a ‘public’ platform again. His apology was made under duress and he couldn’t stop at that, he still had to put the knife in about Palin using Trig as a prop. That seemed to incense Steuf (back to Obama story) – didn’t bother Steuf that Obama was using his Daughter to prop up his story, in fact that was the story and Steuf was fine with it.

    The hypocrisy is beyond contempt.

    C’mon tea-baggers, let’s all take a little trip in reality. The half-term nit wit uses whatever is self serving as props including her children. The half-term nit wit is shameless and even the tea-baggers with excessive density can understand that. Maybe. Probably not.

    @slickerwick and seek
    you see, when oxycon posted this…

    An honest person would examine the difference between the way the left has gone after Palin with the way the right disagrees with Obama’s policies and come to the conclusion that the left is motived by a clinical hatred of Palin that should classify as a mental illness, while those one the right may not like Obama personally, they do not even come close to the level of vitriol of the left and mostly attack Obama over policy with some tasteless jokes about him and Michelle. I have yet to see anyone attack Obama’s children, who are both in the public eye, just the same as Palin’s children.

    i was responding to him not seeing attacks on obama’s children and i pointed out that beck question malia’s intelligence, whether that’s what he meant or not, he questioned the level of her education.
    you see, there is this quote option to use if you want to respond to someones post and that is what i did with oxycon’s post. slickerwick, you seem to have understood part of this concept but apparently not the whole thing.
    if you’d like me to explain it further, use the quote option and let me know.

    oh, and if this posts insults your intelligence…i apologize.

    Yeah, you probably loved it that Wonkette bashed a disabled 3 yr old, didn’t you? Since you think Palin used him as a “prop” it was okay for the Wonkette scumbags to use him as a weapon against her. So since the Obamas also use their children as props that means you’d be okay with some lowlife like yourself trashing them in an obscene and hateful way. Your other posts have proved you to be a hate-filled POS. Do us all a favor and disappear. Then again, don’t. We like to see what you liberals are really like. You and Wonkette are the perfect exemplars of the “compassionate left” in this country. Keep it up.

    Who cares that it wasn’t sincere? I was hardly much of an apology. Apparently, Stuef thought there should be no-holds-barred in taking down Sarah Palin. Nothing verbal and true should be taken off the table in running Stuef and his editor off the face of the planet.

  • seek

    Chilli, have you got Children? Are you around Children? if your answer is no, then it’s understandable that you were insulted by Beck. If you have Children, you would realize that Obama lied. An 11 and 13 year old do not talk like Obama talked. He was trying to make a point and it was a lie. Beck knew it was a lie – thus the ridicule. He wasn’t ridiculing either of Obama’s Children, he was ridiculing Obama for lying.

    Anyone who has Children knew that what Obama said wasn’t true. Children don’t talk like that once they pass 4 or 5. That was Beck’s point. Could Beck have done a better job of stating that Obama made up the whole thing, absolutely. Was it necessary, no. It was poorly done and Beck stated so and took blame for it.

    Go back and listen to Obama’s speech. If you honestly believe that a Child popped her head in the bathroom and said “Daddy did you plug the leak” (or something very similar) well then I challenge you to ask anyone with children that age if they would say that. Why would Malia think her Father, who hadn’t left the house would have been out all night plugging a leak. A phony story and that is what Beck was ridiculing Obama about.

  • darpa

    sorry my caps key is on strike. i think it went into shock awe after seeing the wonky-people ….

    using the term ‘retarded’ is not what made the piece contemptable. ‘retarded’ is still the technical term for it, afaik. that’s the v. least of the verbal violence.
    a lot of things made it contemptable but what sticks in the crawl is the sneering hypocracy. he claims they used trig as a ‘prop’ and he is disgusted about that, damn it.
    so to remedy that, wonky stuef just used the baby as a butt of his joke. not only the baby, but all the people on whom the baby counts.

    what cowards these people are. let me seem them make fun of, oh, let’s see—obama and his family…..any black person….if palin were really as violent and scary as they say we should be afraid of, shouldn’t they be afraid of her coming and blowng them away….

    nah. they know who’d get their sorry assess if they made fun of the wrong ‘victims.’

  • WilsonTheHeretic

    That was lightweight. He suggests a baby is the product of incest/rape and all he gets called is a fat, hairy piece of crap? They honestly should’ve gone harder.

    It’s amazing. The left must have something anything to attack, attack attack. its all they know. AND if there is nothing real to attack on the right, not a problem, just invent something. They been doing it so long they are good at it. REALLY GOOD. However, Modern Americans are slowly but surely beginning to get the picture and they dont like it. What it comes down to is simply this: Far out Liberals are 100% disingenous, 100% believe they are the only educated folks on the planet, 100% believe only their thoughts are valid and worth listening to. 100% of them are two faced hypocrites, who believe its ok for them to denigrate anyone thinking differently from them and when they cant find any thing to complain about will make it up. YES just a group of hating little people with no life.
