glennbeckcrying Glenn Beck: Yapping Palin belongs in the kitchenWhile joking around on his radio show Wednesday, Fox News personality Glenn Beck addressed the idea that he and Sarah Palin should run for president together in 2012.

Beck apparently likes the idea of a Beck-Palin ticket, but a Palin-Beck ticket? Not so much.

"I was just thinking, what, I'm going to take a back seat to a chick?" Beck quipped, to laughter from the studio. "Go shoot a bear, make some stew, I'm hungry in here."

In an interview with Newsmax last week, Palin "wouldn't rule out" running with the controversial talk show host in 2012.

"So while she's considering it ... I just want her to know, I'm ruling it out. A Palin-Beck ticket, I'm absolutely ruling it out," Beck said. "I’m just saying, Beck-Palin, I’ll consider. But Palin-Beck -- can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? She'd be yapping or something, I'd say, 'I'm sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I'm not in the kitchen.' I mean, you'd have to live up to the evil conservative stereotypes, you'd have no choice but to do so."

Story continues below...

"A woman’s appropriate place on a presidential ticket, according to Beck, is in the number two spot," writes Alex Seitz-Wald at ThinkProgress. "Otherwise, she should just 'yap' away in a kitchen somewhere. Apparently, being a vice presidential running mate behind a woman is a serious challenge to Beck’s manhood."

"Palin has a hair-trigger reaction to sexist slights ... so I would predict a wingnut feud," writes Azaria Jagger at Gawker. "But in this case, Lady Alaska's martyr complex is going to conflict with her effusive love of right-wing media. Also, Beck's producers will likely pressure him to make nice. She's way too valuable to them."

But, hey, it's all a joke, right?

"Yeah, Glenn, it's a 'joke.' We get it," writes bluegal at the Crooks and Liars blog. "We get that you're a former shock jock, that you don't actually believe a single word you say, and that you will say anything for money. We get that the vice-presidency is even further out of your league than it is for Palin, and that's saying a lot.

"We also get that you're an infantile jerk."

The following audio was broadcast on The Glenn Beck Program, November 25, 2009, and uploaded to the Web by ThinkProgress.

    Beck has manhood? I thought he left that behind when he went to work for Fox.

    Why is this newsworthy? Did I stumble onto The Onion by mistake?

    It is a sad day in America when Glenn Beck has followers, David Caresh had followers too. I am simply stating that rather than defend or try to substantiate anything that comes from his mouth- try thinking on your own instead of adopting someone else's beliefs and stop defending their idiotic opinions, stop being braindead followers and become leaders, this is not elementary school, this is the real world.

    Wow! now that's original. Oh wait,...it looks like all of the other loony left-overs.

    Fascism under the flag of Christianity is on the Rise again. It originated in the US, it's no surprise. Nazis were funded by Wall Street in the 30's, The closeted gay meth addicted Hitler got inspiration from the KKK. IBM built the machines that made the numbers to tattoo the Concentration inmates... the local economies keep diving, the media is increasingly centralized. Hell, the first modern concentration camp happened in Andersonville during the Civil War. All American All Stars New World Order Horace illuminated Eye atop the pyramid. Do You control Horace or does Horace control You?

    finally, soemthing I can agree with Beck about...scary huh?
  • dennycrane
    Beckhead is "sizing" fishy-pants-palin up for one of his mormon "wives." Since the LDS "doesn't" condone "polygamy" anymore, they also never "condemn" what beckhead spews. But in not too many terms, beckheads actions make him a "poly-biga-must."

    Watching these two play mind games will about as exciting as breaking windows in a vacant house. If Beck decided to run for prez, he would always get top billing because we all know how much Republicans revere reformed alcoholic coke heads.
  • Hehwhat
    At least the republicans have repentant coke heads unlike Our Lord and Savior Barack Hussein Obama
  • disappointedvoter
    Fuck Obama. But fuck you even more.

    Passionately avoid brattyness and embrace some colorful vocabulary words
    OTHER than "fuck". It's getting old... Hmm. Should you continue to DEMEAN YOURSELF
    by demeaning others? Go toss your "negativity bomb" on the Taliban instead!

    And now we get to see the true GOP: They eat their [own] young.

    ‘Yapping’ G. BECK belongs in the BASEMENT, UNDER A HEAVY ROCK.

    Would you share your space?
  • darker
    thank you, I would if I had one, sorry.
  • Video of this rant here: http://stopbeck.com/2009/11/24/glenn-beck-rules...

    The remarks highlighted in this post are from the second time he ruled it out. The first time he ruled it out with even more sexist remarks, saying (emphasis added):

    “First of all, let me rule that out. Palin/Beck? Ridiculous…I was just thinking, what I’m gonna take backseat to a chick? While you’re at it, go shoot a bear! Make some stew! I’m hungry in here.”

    Wonder if Palin will be condemning Beck for sexism anytime soon…you know, because she cares so deeply about fighting sexism in America…
