marthastewart Martha Stewart: Palin is a dangerous person, I wouldnt watch her if you paid meDuring a Saturday broadcast, lifestyle television diva Martha Stewart panned former lawmaker Sarah Palin, calling her a "dangerous person" who Stewart "wouldn't watch... if you paid me."

Speaking to CNN, the host of Martha Stewart Living said Palin is "very boring to me." Having someone so "confused" in government is unsafe, she said. That makes Palin a "dangerous person."

"She's so confused," Stewart said. "Anyone in government like that is a real problem.

Reacting to the massive first-day sales of Palin's new book, she added: "Good for her. Good for her. ... I wouldn't watch her if you paid me."

This video was broadcast by CNN on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009.

Meanwhile, Palin's book tour is officially off and running, but not without a few early speedbumps. At a stop in Noblesville, Indiana on Thursday, she ignored a crowd of fans cheering her to finish her scheduled book signing.

Instead, Palin left, turning her back on the group as they jeered her departure.

    Oddly enough, I wouldn't watch Martha Stewart with a gun to my head. In fact I wouldn't piss in her mouth if her teeth were on fire.

  • MagicalMindz
    I've never been a fan of Martha although anyone should be impressed with her business acumen and staying power. She has class, taste and good sense ~ apart from a lesson well learned; but that was more the "Old Boys" who can't stand her success. I applaud her immensely for her dismissive Palin comments. Excellent Martha and thank you for being so candid. Well done.
  • Guest
    These stupid people deserved it. Anyone that dumb as to wait 7+ hours for the "Bubblehead" Failin' Palin to sign a book are shallow and clearly haven't got enough meaningful things to do. Tough luck folks. You're backing the wrong horse. Get it now?
  • janice42
    Martha was the one who looked confused during that interview. How would she know Sarah Palin is dangerous if you have to pay Martha to watch her? Small minded, petty and jealoous. Sarah can be a bit annoying but she certainly isn't boring nor is she confused. Dangerous? Well it was Martha who scammed people out of their investments didn't she?
  • amymartin
    Dear Martha Stewart,
    I will or never buy anything of yours at all you stupid fucking liberal bitch.Sarah Palin is of moral character.

    I really hate all you fucking liberals.You give this nation a bad name,reputation.Go to hell Martha and fuck yourself!!

    Kill all liberals!!
  • amymartin
    What a stupid liberal bitch!! I say kill all Hollywood liberals,or ship them ALL to their own enviornmentally safe island!!
  • Shepdawg
    Martha Stewart, the ex-con, is the one that is confused and has the problem! I would watch her or buy any of her merchandise if she paid me to. What a liberal dim-wit she is!
  • Shepdawg
    She's one to talk about who's boring! Martha Stewart, the ex-con, is the confused and has the problem! I wouldn't watch her or buy any of her merchandise if she paid me to.
  • Lacey
    Of course Martha wouldn't watch Palin even if'"you paid" her. Martha Stewart represents the upper crust. Palin represents the blue collar crowd. The one has always looked down on the other. It's a class thing and has nothing to do with what either of them "knows".

    I sent this letter to Martha Stewart:
    Thought I’d let you know I was one of those many people who backed you up after your bout with the law. Gave you the benefit of the doubt and hoped you would recover from the embarrassment, humiliation and costly mistake you made. You served your time and came out smelling not like a rose, but less like a outhouse the media portrayed you as after the event. I heard about the comments you made about Rachel Ray and although I can’t handle her and don’t watch her much, I thought you were pretty arrogant and possibly a little envious of her quick rise to fame. I think she has taught a lot of people basics of cooking and she has some great tips for the average cook. I wish she’d drop the EVOO statement and maybe I’d watch her more. I suggest you be a little less critical of your competitors as it will bite you in the backside every time. I thought Rachel Ray’s comeback was quite clever and humble. Maybe you should take a lesson from her.
    Now I have just heard you have made statements about Sarah Palin referencing her as boring and that she would be a dangerous person to have in office. First of all have you read her book? I found it fascinating to say the least and felt as though she was the first politician that I could actually trust.
    I would think a woman of your age would have learned more about how this good old boy’s world has been run and perhaps would have a little more compassion for other women trying to make their way through the ventures they have chosen. I also feel as though you have settled back into the Martha Stewart that was portrayed in that awful movie they did about you. I guess I always like to think Hollywood exaggerates and we should all take some of these stories with a grain of salt. I am an optimist and think better of my fellow man for the most part, but your comments are way out of line.
    I occasionally watch your show, but really find them quite boring. I used to subscribe to your magazine years ago, but found them to be most boring as well. I don’t and won’t buy any of your products because I find them to be cheap for the most part. So I suppose my letter won’t directly affect you, but I will be sending it to several of my friends and we all seem to follow suit when we are offended by the liberal Hollywood sleaze such as yourself. So I suggest you retire with your chickens and your gardens while you still have somewhat of a following. You are old, have old ideas that I have no interest in and I wouldn’t spend a moment of my time to back you up again for any reason. Hope you have a very interesting first quarter stock market loss and a Happy Martha Stewart Thanksgiving!
  • Snake Hunter Blogger Sez,

    K-MART DIVA...Martha Stewart labelled Gov Sarah Palin as "Boring...Dangerous...Confused"!
    This prompts a question: If Palin can generate this much excitement at her book-signing stops,
    then who really suffers from confusion...Or is it just boring political bias? reb
  • Jack
    I always look to convicted felons for guidance about how to think and act.
  • mickey
    Martha SHOULD be scared! Palin has a history of going after thieves... And I think it's pure FOOLISHNESS to believe things like
    honor your father and mother, don't kill, steal or commit adultery - that stuff is just sooo...OLD FASHIONED!
    b-t
  • azwildcat
    The one thing Martha Stewart has going for her is being a ex con. Need i say more. Last time i new Sarah never went to prison. And she can shoot and cook. The only thing Steward can do is shoot her mouth off.
  • MattinCharleston
    Coming from a convicted felon and inside trader, its a compliment.

  • imwc
    wow...a convicted felon calling someone dangerous...i wouldn`t watch martha if you paid me...!
  • Mooftown
    I don't like either one of these two.
  • S in PA
    I didn't like Martha, but then she was hilarious in the movie "Big Trouble" so I kinda liked her, then Rachel was on her show so I almost liked her, and now, because of this, I LIKE MARTHA!!
  • Schmice
    I was very surprised and pleased to hear her say that. She's absolutely right.
  • Atilla
    I'd love to see her run, but it's not going to happen. She couldn't get a job as dogcatcher on Attu. Hell, you think that the Corporate Aristocracy will let her? She might get delusions of adequacy and start pretending to be President. She is going to make enough to retire in a style she'd like to become accustom to and quietly fade away. Probably trade Todd in on a later and faster model. Halleluja!! Praise the Lord! I think she is doing a great job.

  • asiliveandbreathe
    I was miffed at Stewart's jab at Rachel Ray.... but then she said this about Palin. Stewart has been rectified in my eyes.
  • Charlie-AK
    Palin is polarizing and has EXREME fringe views. America is a great country and we need intelligent, worldly and intellectually curious people to lead us in this century. We rate 27th in health now, our educational system is falling far behind, we have no manufacturing industry and ou financial system is unstable. The Republicans and far fringe like Palin live in the past. She is still talking about Reagan and that was a different era! Why would America want someone who doesn't believe in science (she doesn't believe in evolution or creationism) nor does she value education or womens rights. Her religion is also extreme. Her pentacostol church believes in witches and exorcisms. She believes God has chosen her to lead our country into the end times. Her church has pray away the gay and Jews for Jesus meetings. I respect their right to believe and practice what they want. But they would like to impose it on us. There's so much more that is bad about Palin. I don't think she's boring. I find it fascinating that someone so bacwards cold get millions for a book. Imagine her as president, lying, taking away money for education and healthcare and lying and winking her way through the presidency. Oh she's exactly what America needs. PS She faked her fifth pregnancy, is known for having affairs.
    And no.I'm not a liberal bad mouthing het. Do some real research on her. She is a piece of work
  • texasaggie
    I'm not entirely convinced that she is mentally wired tightly enough to actually HAVE views. I haven't been able to decipher her actual words (not a ghost writer on her facebook) to figure out what she believes.
  • dennycrane
    After serving time in the "slammer", Martha would know a "shifty-eyed" hoe, like "fishy pants" palin.
  • rattypilgrim
    If M.S. was a big Republican contributor she would have spent NO time in the slammer. She's a Democrat and there in lies the tale of her time in jail.
  • ykwrecords
    I respect Palin but being the Govenor of Alaska is not quite enough preparation to run this country. I would vote for Martha before I vote for Palin. At least the bitch can cook a mean meal and keep the goddamn house clean.
  • woody
    Raw Story should change itz name to the Daily Palin.

    For a woman with no political power whatsoever, she's hated by the commie lying left, and the Israel firsters on the neocon zionist right.
  • damamma
    Martha got a raw deal when others (male) made much much more money on the early stock dump. However, she is spot on with clueless people in politics being dangerous.
  • m_r_m
    Palin is not near as dangerous as the idiots who would vote for her - who know even less than she does
  • Schmice
    LOL

    Army Relents, Allows Media To Cover Palin Event

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/20/army-n...



    sarah palin is what the founding fathers were refering to when they included in the oath of office that the President of the United States had to "swear to defend the U.S. constitution from enemies, both foreign and domstic"!

    go away failin bailin wailin palin!
  • starvapor
    Sarah Palin is the combined Pied Piper and Head Lemming of the delusional wing-nut loon-squad clowns, birthers and tea baggers.
  • choupachoup
    I'm not at all sure I would like Martha, but I have great respect for her abilities, her intelligence, and her accomplishments. As for the reference to her prison time, she did nothing countless men have done, without censor or penalty. She was gleefully punished, she took it on the chin, she never lost her dignity, and she came out stronger than before.
    Sarah Palin loves to make herself a victim, is proud of her ignorance and would willfully risk the world for a position of power.
    Martha gained her position by working harder, Sarah gained hers by winking harder.
  • mescalitospoke
    She did what countless men (and women) have done, and what countless men (and women) have went to jail for, many not affording the luxury of "camp cupcake". Why do you have to pretend this is a gender thing? It makes you sound like a bigot.
