sarah palin ap Palin says Glenn Beck clever, wont rule out Palin Beck ticketFormer Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, asked whether she'd campaign with Fox News' personality Glenn Beck as her running mate, chuckled, but according to a conservative website, "wouldn't rule it out."

"It's no secret that former GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Fox News host Glenn Beck share great respect and admiration -- so their fans can be forgiven for wondering: Is a 'dream ticket' of Palin-Beck ticket is completely out of the question?" Newsmax's David Patten wrote Tuesday night.

"Perhaps not," he added.

"Palin initially chuckled when Newsmax broached the idea," he continued. "But then she had some serious words of praise for the popular Fox personality."

"I can envision a couple of different combinations, if ever I were to be in a position to really even seriously consider running for anything in the future, and I'm not there yet," Palin reportedly told Newsmax. "But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He's a hoot. He gets his message across in such a clever way. And he's so bold – I have to respect that. He calls it like he sees it, and he's very, very, very effective."

    Palin and Beck on a presidential ticket? 2012? Sweet. That would kill the Republican Party for sure. Sometimes you get what is deserved.
  • wyrdless
    Don't get your hopes up, it will never happen (Palin Beck 2012). Also whats so great about the Democrats? They support bailouts, the most imbalanced budget ever, wars and corporate welfare.

    Both parties suck and have almost the exact same policies except for stupid non-issues like abortion and flag burning
  • bonethug iranian
    Dear wyrdless: I agree with you completely. Killing the Republican Party is only illustrative. Both the Dems and the Reps suck so large as to be comprehensively embarrassing. America needs a good cleansing revolution. Toss off all the corrupt brain deadwood.

    You know, if I wrote this story and could not even get the first sentence correct, I would not put my name on it either.

    Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin,
  • kucinich2012
    Here we are: ALL PALIN ALL THE TIME! What's your motive, Raw, for all the Palin coverage???
  • edwards_com
    Excellent Question. Why the distraction?
    Bush covered a major US troop slaughter in Iraq with the 'Don Imus 'nappy headed ho' non story.
  • saraswati
    Watching this seemingly golden girl drown herself in the media is very interesting. She will get lots of rope with which to hang herself. Keep on yaking, Sarahhhh. You ca probably sell tupperware after your book tour. President ot the United States? No Way. Too stupid and conceited. She's on something. Stay tuned
  • lorn
    No! Do not stay tuned.

    Tune her out. Tune out all stories about her.
    She is the bright shiny object to distract and confuse.

    Maybe all the Democrats smugly taking shots at the brain dead scare crow could focus some of their attention on their own party? Hold Obama accountable for some of his Bush-like moves?

    More war, more torture, more lies, more corporate bailouts, no health care, extending the Patriot act, condemning the UN resolution on Gaza war crimes...???????????

    Does anything wake you people up?
    Every day brings a new sell out of the people by Obama and all you fools can do is stand around and piss on the dead horse Sarah Palin.
    You have taken your eye off the ball and are focused exactly on the wrong thing.

    after this weekend, her "reign" will be over, the bookstores will start sending the leftovers back to the publisher for refunds, and that idiot will be gone! She'll have to pay back part of her advance - no second print. Maybe she'll pick up a Schrunk & White sometime and learn who to speak english. She sounds like a ferengie who learned english from a two year old golden retriever. Get that nutcase back to Wassila!
  • lorn
    Her reign should have been over the day after the election.......but it wasn't was it?

    It will not end with this book. Her trailer park kids will keep humping, smoking meth and playing with guns. The shit will never end.......unless she gets gored by a moose.

    Then the BS spin machine will trot out any other number of right wing bimbos, the McCain kid, the Bush kid........there is always another bright shiny object to distract. I assume you will be diligently waiting for it and will continue to miss all the real news of the day. Ignorance is bliss, right?

    It's the high entertainment value, I guess. Hey, they report about Colbert, too! Only difference is, Colbert is intentionally funny.

    However, it's really a bit much recently. Palin and Beck, Palin vs. Sullivan, Palin at Oprah...
    What's next, Palin takes a shit?
  • Kurt_O
    Yes, yes and here's the pitch:

    "No empire, no matter how ruthless and sadistic, deserves to die a slow, tortuous, and agonizing death (actually we do deserve it, but...). Vote for a quick, decisive, and permanent end to our own and the rest of humanity's misery and suffering -- vote Palin/Beck 2012."

    or

    "Palin/Beck 2012 -- because Earth will eventually be consumed by the sun anyway."

    To quote Palin
    quote:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    he’s very, very, very effective."

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    High praise indeed.... THREE "VERY'S"!!!!

    People, we have to consider the overwhelming support Palin is giving Beck here. He is not merely REALLY effective.... no. He is beyond that. In fact, he goes beyond REALLY, REALLY effective.

    In fact, it is hard to find a person in the history of mankind that has even approached enough effectiveness to warrant being labeled REALLY, REALLY, REALLY effective.

    But here stands Palin, after having just written the TOME of her life; her eloquence devoted to espousing the grandeur that is only befitting the one-time Governor of Alaska - a SNOWBALL'S THROW from the GREAT BEAR that is RUSSIA, having parsed and meted out every syllable and palaver she could muster into her manuscript, painstakingly aching over each and every word she personally penned, here is this woman, this.... paragon of femininity and conservative values.... without a hint of timidity in her voice….digging down into the resources of her thesaurus-like mind and digging out such praise for Glenn Beck... the failed comedian, Mormon drunk..... A boost in morale it had to be for Mr. Beck. Possibly a moniker he can emblazon on a wall or into a block of wood to rest upon his desk.... and surely, praise from such a RESPECTED WORDSMITH like former Governor Palin will be remembered in the annals of history, her description:

    Glenn Beck.... very, very, very effective!

    And yet, I wonder. hmmmmmm.... why stop at simply three "very"'s? Why not cross that heretofore unreachable plateau of SUPER-DOOPER effective? Is this an indication that Palin, feeling the popularity of Glenn Beck would somehow overshadow her 2012 bid, is trying to show the FOX faux-icator who wears the big girl pants in this ticket? There would be no Beck-Palin? I am just asking questions here... simply wondering aloud........
  • christoofar
    oh yes, "Frick & Frack 2012" has a certain wing...err ring to it.
  • Mooftown
    "He's a Hoot!, very clever"

    Shut the fuck up sarah palin. You're fucking downhome acting stupid talking stupid attitude is so fucking annoying.
  • SuperGoof09
    I can just see it now....Rush could introduce the new nominees at the convention. Then Beck would come out and get overwhelmed...start crying on stage. Then the Palin kids, Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper & (The Downs Kid) would come out and start crying because Beck is crying. Then Rush would start bouncing to try and distract the kids which would then collapse the stage. Sarah would jump out with her moose rifle and fishing muckluks....well anyway you get the picture.

    Oh PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! run that ticket!

    Then we'd see that only 20% of this country is ignorant enough to support such moronicism and we might have a real hope of turning this train before it flies off the cliff!

  • kiboshki
    .
    20%. That's one in five. One person in every household is so anti-intellectual as to think governance by these yahoos would be a good thing.

    Good god... Even though they wouldn't win, if a full 20% of the electorate still voted for this nutjob ticket, what would that really say about this country?

    We often write this off as a minority/majority thing, but that really is a huge fraction of the population with seriously twisted views. 5% I can handle. But 20%? Honestly, that frightens me to death.

    (Full disclosure: I live in the heart of west TX Bush country, hence my angst ;)
