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.

    Progressives are incapable of expressing any worthwhile observations about anyone that hasn't drunk the leftist koolaid. If Governor Palin forwarded the theory of relativity, the left would continue to repeat the tiresome drone about her lack of intelligence. How's that "hopey changy" thing working out for ya?
  • Burton
    What made Sarah even think about leaving the kitchen? Anyway it's caca. Women don't belong on the internet, in politics, or anywhere but the kitchen. Look at what's happening to our family moral values for crying out loud!
  • brentimus
    Have you ever heard of satire? He's poking at all your lineral stereotypes of conservative--that they are sexist and believe a woman belongs in the kitchen. You guys just keep digging yourselves into a bigger hole, not that Obama n company haven't already digged us into oblivion.

    He never had any manhood. Unless you count the giant "manhood" in his queer ass.

    Beck and Palin both belong in a loony bin.
  • Just more proof that conservatives are loud and angry. But what are *real* people angry about?

    Those two idiots deserve each other, except, they belong on a ticket to hell.
  • fredlickme
    You liberal douche bags are sooooooo pathetic. You make all types of sick jokes about conservatives, many of which are funny. Yet you take what is clearly satire and make a literal statement about conservatives. Beck is a libertarian, not a conservative. ALL politicians are liars and scoundrels, even your messiah Obama. Beck says this everyday yet no one listens to that. Did you notice that the New York Times on Wednesday 11-25-09, they actually quoted Beck's book about how the deficit is leading us into run away inflation? Of course not. You are too busy getting your news from the Daily Krust, Media MattersNot, the Washington Compost, and the Daily Show. 45% of democrats get their news from Jon Stewart. You guys are a joke. No wonder this country is circling the drain.

    You morons, Beck was playing around!

    Didn't you catch the part where he said "I have to live up to the 'evil Conservative' stereotype?"

    Glenn and Sarah go way back. Glenn was interviewing her continuously back when he was at CNN Headline News over energy policy.

    Sarah Palin IS, after all, one of the most recognized and knowledgeable authorities on energy policy in the country. People forget that she was not only an oil and gas regulator, before she was Governor, but as Governor, was also Chairman of the Interstate Oil and gas Compact Commission, and thus help set polices on oil and natural gas exploration, as well as environmental safety.

    Glenn is pretty strong in his support for Sarah, as well, as is most of the nation.

    Like most though, he sees the absurdity of a "Palin/Beck" ticket! Beck is highly respected by patriots, but he's not presidential timber, and he knows it.

    I'm not sure who will be Sarah's vice President when she takes office in 2013, but I keep going back to Texas Governor Rick Perry. They are both highly successful Governors of two huge and powerful states. Both are solid fiscal conservatives, and solid CEO's.

    Of course, the two most talked about match-ups are Sarah and Michelle Bachmann and Sarah with Liz Cheney. Bachmann is an incredible woman, but she doesn't have the executive experience that one needs to be VP or POTUS. Of course, that didn't stop Obama, so hell, I guess anything is possible, since Obama had ZERO qualifications (and it shows)

    Liz Cheney is a policy wonk, and tough as nails, like Bachmann and Palin, but she too lacks the experience. Again, though, the bar has been so low by Barry, that the night shift manager at McDonald's has a leg up.

    Anyhow, my gut feeling is Sarah already has Governor Perry on her short list.

    Now back to the ignorant "progressives."

    You gotta be kidding me with this nonsense. You guys really do not have a sense of humor, or a brain in your heads if you think that Glenn was trashing Palin. He was clearly goofing on ignorant "progressives" and their sadly predictable stereotypes, and as usual, the "progressives" stumbled right on in.

    Hilarious!

    same post 3 times, and "we're" morons?

    And how is Sarah, the Socialist Energy Distributor of Alaska an "expert" on "energy"? Being "in charge" in America doesn't come from competence, and policies made by those getting kick backs from the industry they regulate rarely do things in the public's interest. Citing her "job description" says nothing of if she did her job well or not, and means nothing in terms of "expert".

    And you're another of those idiots that don't read comments but just post. Your assertion that we don't have a sense of humor has been well spanked. And it's not a "progressive stereotype", it's doctrine in "conservative religion" and progressives had to fight long and hard to bring equal rights to women.. the fight was against "conservatives".

    What's sadly predictable is the right-wing's lack of ability to use logic or reality in their thinking.

  • Beck, what's in all this for you? You are unqualified to be President or Vice President.

    Your salary is paid by Rupert Murdoch, right? Even though he claims to be a NeoCon, isn't he in the business of making money? It's all about Ratings and Money which equals Power.

    And yes, your sexist remark should never have been spewed into the air or made it in print.

    You don't deserve a place on a Palin ticket.

  • Beck, you are a certified chauvinist for those comments. Keep YOUR yapper shut and do not say anything that will come back to haunt you. This Will. I wouldn't vote for you and I doubt that after this comment, many of your listeners would. And I hope that you just fell off Sarah Palin's short list.

    BTW, what is your "other hand" doing right now?

    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.

    Even if he's a dork, he's still making a joke. Never lose your sense of humor.
  • Savantster
    .
    Not all "jokes" are "funny". When the core of the joke is to be dismissive of women in general, it's not a funny joke. When the joke is meant to paint an inaccurate picture of your political opposition, it's not a joke and not funny.

    He's a dork, and not funny, and transparent in his attempts to skew reality even further for his deluded base. That's sad, not funny.

  • rkaley
    Why is it that liberals have no since of humor? That in itself is sad because it denotes a sad life. Reading the reformed alcoholic coke head remark is even sadder. The key word is reformed. Anyone who overcomes an addiction should be lauded rather than denigrated. I have learned over my seventy plus years that it is wiser to listen to the message rather than base a decision on who the messenger is.
  • rkaley
    Why is it that those of the liberal persuasion have no since of humor? As far as reformed alcoholic coke heads, the key word is reformed. It shows a positive character and persistence to overcome any addiction. He should be lauded rather than ridiculed, Disagree with what he says, OK.

    Some people don't find abusive behaviors "funny", so some jokes aren't "funny" either. Liberals laugh all the time for various reasons and at various jokes; your pretending we don't shows a problem with you, not Liberals.

    Excuse me for objecting to the idea of a complete idiot being in the kitchen. Do you want your house burned down? Do you want food poisoning? Do you really like your steak charcoal on the outside and still twitching on the inside? Why would someone who has a difficult time boiling water be allowed anywhere near a kitchen?

    While the left congratulates itself for being so superior and mainstream, the real people are having fun listening to humor the left can never understand. Deep down inside, the left can never really be satisfied or happy.

    "Deep down inside, the left can never really be satisfied or happy [with the idea of abusing other living creatures]"

    there, fixed.

    Plenty on the left are happy and satisfied. In fact, part of why we don't feel a constant need for gluttony is our "satisfied" psychology actually works; we see no need in taking much much much more than we could ever possibly use. The right-wing drive for personal excesses is a psychological DISORDER, and it ties, seemingly, directly into the sister disorder of real lack of empathy for other living things.

    it's actually kind of sad that your brains are so broken. Though, I'm very happy to not be afflicted with such deficiencies.
