Hannity next in line for Palin interview.
Sean Hannity will interview Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) next week in Cincinnati, MediaBistro reports. The interview will air in “two parts on Tuesday, September 16th and Wednesday, September 17th at 9PM ET.” Hannity took issue with Charlie Gibson’s interview of Palin, “calling his question on her religious comments ‘out of context’ and ‘totally misconstrued.’” Greta van Sustern landed Todd Palin’s first interview, which will air Monday night at 10PM on Fox News Channel.

And so (ins)Hannity will allow Palin to retake her religious test…

September 12th, 2008 at 1:29 pmEven the boyish, rich, out-of-touch dude will expose this woman’s stupidity — unintentionally, of course.

Has Larry King been contracted to interview McPalin, yet?

September 12th, 2008 at 1:30 pmI wonder if he will be giving her Communion.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:30 pmIt takes her a full week to recover from these interviews?
September 12th, 2008 at 1:31 pmLooks like Sarah Mooselini is going to play it safe from here on.

September 12th, 2008 at 1:31 pmHow do I book passage on this Ship of Fools?
September 12th, 2008 at 1:32 pmTypical Sean Insanity question for Governor Snowbilly:
“Do you think the worst thing about Obama is his elitism, his lack of patriotism or the fact that he is a Muslim?”
See, it’s a fair and balanced question because he gives her a choice.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:33 pmWhen will Biden be interviewed?
September 12th, 2008 at 1:33 pmSean better be practicing his softball pitching, this will be the best scripted show since the final episode of M*A*S*H.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:33 pmLooks like we’ll just have to wait 20 more days for Biden to hand her the warm slice of liver he just excised from her.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:33 pmIf the interview takes place in the studio I’d like to see Colmes interrupt with questions of his own and see the white boy’s head explode in anger.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:34 pmUmmm, pax, pay attention. Joe’s been on fifteen talk shows at least. Geez. Now WAKE UP!
September 12th, 2008 at 1:34 pmQuestion for all of you…
Who will be wearing more makeup at this “interview”, McPalin or Hannity?
September 12th, 2008 at 1:35 pmThis is sure to be a tough interview:
“Governor, just how ready are you to pass the commander-in-chief test? Really ready, totally ready, or super-mega-ready?”
“Governor, some say you’re not a reformer. Some say you took advantage of earmarks. Some are lying, duplicitous, treasonous, Socialist scum. Just how much of a reformer are you? A total reformer, an ultra reformer, or the most reformy reformer in the whole history of reformitude?”
“Governor, I know you love America. Just how much do you love America? Do you love America as much as you love Trig? Or is your love for America such a Big Giant Love that mere words cannot capture your complete American love for America?”
“Governor, when people say you’re a ‘maverick,’ is that ‘maverick’ with a capital ‘M’ only or all caps, bold, underlined?”
“Governor, if you could tell the American people just one reason why you’re obviously the most qualified candidate for vice-president in American history, would it be the same reason I’d choose?”

My bet is that Alan C. will “be on assignment’, maybe to Bumfcuk, Syria or some place with no satellite communications.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:36 pmI know you’ll be gentle to the wittle baby, Seanie. Remember, hold her head upright and weed her the fowen policy book.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:36 pmLOL ROS…
But which pig will be wearing the lipstick?

September 12th, 2008 at 1:37 pmWell now I know what I won’t be watching tonight!
September 12th, 2008 at 1:39 pmIf “Gidget & The Geezer” can’t face Keith Olbermann, Phil Donahue or Bill Moyers, how in the world will they face down Al-Qaeda?
Republicans: Cowards run in their party….
September 12th, 2008 at 1:39 pmCharlie Gibson?
Sean Hannity?
Greta Van Sustern?
Jeez, they’re really runnin’ the gauntlet here, aren’t they?
I guess we should be thankful they gave the first interview to Charlie Gibson and not to John Gibson.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:40 pmDo ya think Hannity’ll explode on air and call her an ‘idiot’ and throw her off the set? Or will he just wash her feet and annoint her head while pitching softballs her way?

I weas waiting to hear that Debbie Gibson was given the 1st interview…………….
September 12th, 2008 at 1:46 pmWhen are Olbermann and Maddow gonna get a shot at having her on for an interview? Hell, for that matter, when is Matthews gonna get a shot?
September 12th, 2008 at 1:46 pmRight now, the GOOPers are all jacked up on adrenalin and emotion from “the lovely Sarah”… but it will be hard to maintain this fever pitch for another 6 or 7 weeks. One of these days, the buzz has to wear off, and then the hangovers will set in. Not gonna be pretty.
Look for a carefully orchestrated campaign to keep “the Base” titillated, and therefore engaged, all the way thru Nov 4th. They’ll be breathlessly rolling out one incredibly well-rehearsed and meticulously staged “interview” after another, all carefully spaced to maintain that emotional buzz. Kinda of a cross between a dealer stringing along the addicts and a long, drawn out, slow-motion strip tease…
Funny… GOOPers like to refer to their hard-core, bedrock loyalists as “The Base” and that’s also, literally, the translation of the name “al-Q’aida”…

My thoughts exactly….this is exactly the type of questions insanity will be asking.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:47 pmHannity next in line for Palin interview.
– - Stay strong Sarah. it’ll be brutal.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:49 pmwho else will interview her? Just remember the ‘deference’ test.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:51 pmMs. Dumb meets Mr. Dumber will have to wait until after Rachael Maddow’s show. I’ll be content to wait and watch videos of the dog and pony show they’ll put on.
I must confess, however, that I have flip-flopped on preferring real news from competent reporters over dog and pony show productions from clueless mental incompetents. I used to like the dog and pony shows back when I believed in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:53 pmAny bets on just how many of the “interviews” granted between now and the election just happen to go to the good folks at Faux?
On the other hand, even the local fishwrap (the SF Chronicle) pointed out that Palin “appeared entirely unfamiliar with the Bush doctrine…” during her slo-pitch gam…, I mean, interview, her interview on ABC.
Geez, maybe, just maybe, the press is waking up and realizing they do serve a real purpose here after all.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:53 pmYeah, that should be a really tough interview. They keep saying she has enough experience for the job but given the fact that they’ve kept her away from the media until now, and that her first two interviews were guaranteed softball, it would seem that they don’t even believe it themselves.

September 12th, 2008 at 1:54 pmWhen did Hannity and Van Sustren graduate from journelism schools.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:56 pmWe can expect such thrilling questions from Hannity like “What is it like being such an amazing person?”
Ugh.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:57 pmHere’s how I size up the Little Seanie Hannity interview story:
This is a clear admission by Failin’ Palin’s handlers that she didn’t do well on her “training wheel” interview with Charlie Gibson.
Now, it’s time to put her back on the tricycle and sit her down with Little Seanie.

Of course they don’t believe themselves. Why do you think they’re keeping her under wraps?
Repeat after me… the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain…
By Jove, I think she’s got it!!

September 12th, 2008 at 1:59 pmFunny thing about “the lovely Sarah” during her interview…
I didn’t see a flag pin anywhere… anyone else notice???
September 12th, 2008 at 2:01 pmThe latest “we’re sticking with Fux, thank you” strategy could really play to our advantage.
The other networks and cable shows will be pissed that they aren’t even given their chance with Palin, and are far more likely to play the most embarassing and most outrageous clips from the Fux interviews, and in doing so, will reach a far larger audience than will see the entire interviews on FuxSnooz.
Hope springs eternal in my soul.
PEACE

September 12th, 2008 at 2:03 pmHannity’s interview is guaranteed to be more about Obama than Palin herself. What is a “Commentator” doing hosting an interview anyway?

September 12th, 2008 at 2:06 pmWhat is a “Commentator” doing hosting an interview anyway?
Little Seanie has been pouting ever since Obama sat down with Dildo O’Reilly. This interview with Failin’ Palin was arranged at Roger Ailes’ request. He’s just been looking for some way to cheer up and rehabilitate Little Seanie.

They also have a lot of gall calling it “an interview”… a carefully scripted and rehearsed scene from a bad Disney movie would be a more accurate description, no?
September 12th, 2008 at 2:08 pmI suspect that even though this interview will be on FAUX news, it will also be heavily edited. What with all the do-overs that will surely take place.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:11 pmCalling the teevee show an interview is really misleading, rather like the AP or some other “company” that has weird agenda.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:11 pmit is a sitcom.
I can’t wait until the VP debate. Joe Biden is going to clean her clock on the issues, and Palin will get that “deer in headlights” stare multiple times.
She’ll undoubtedly borrow a page from Chimpy McDumbass, and be wired the answers to the debate questions in her outfit. Wirelsss communications via Uncle Karl thorough her bra, perhaps?

September 12th, 2008 at 2:19 pmShe’s gonna be on Hannity and Greta? These won’t be interviews — they’ll be right-wing campaign commercials.
Can’t wait for the Biden-Miss Piggy debate…
September 12th, 2008 at 2:20 pmMr. Palin, Your Campaign Seems To Have the Momentum of a Runaway Freight Train. Why Are You So Popular?
September 12th, 2008 at 2:24 pmoops. MRS. palin, ….
September 12th, 2008 at 2:25 pmI have a suggestion for anyone who plans to watch these interviews. One, have your antacids ready. two, pay close attention to the framing of the questions. Paleobib (at 1:33 PM) is on to something. The questions will likely be either so open-ended that you could answer with anything (and satisfy Hannity), or so specific (and baseless) that they really have no correct answer because the premise won’t be based in reality.
One thing I know for certain, it will never be broadcast live.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:38 pmwwew Says:
Ah, yes, the question they made Lisa Simpson ask Burns.
Excellent! :)
September 12th, 2008 at 2:39 pmWhy are the Republicans, and McCain campaign, so very much afraid to have Palin be interviewed by REAL JOURNALISTS who will ask tough, but fair, questions, REAL JOURNALISTS who actually put their country first instead of being partisan political tools?
What are the Republicans and Sarah Palin trying to hide?
I’m all for “deferring” to a woman by holding a door open for her, but this is completely different.
I really doubt that Hillary Clinton, if she had been selected to run against McCain, would have been shown the same “deference” that the culture of corruption Republicans are trying to assert for their vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.
Hillary Clinton, I’m certain, would have been able to handle whatever the corrupt Republicans threw at her. She grew strong by facing the same crap back in the 1990s.
Is Sarah Palin so, so very weak that she can’t handle the tough questions involving the tough issues facing our nation?
Is this what will happen during the debates? Palin being given a pass?
Enough is Enough ! ! !
We don’t need this Republican crap anymore ! ! !
September 12th, 2008 at 2:44 pmFox First! Phuck the Country…
September 12th, 2008 at 2:53 pmThat will be as certifiably stupid as the interviewer who is a Junior College, construction worker, turned talking neo-con, moron, head. Hannity is not even a joke.
September 12th, 2008 at 3:01 pmI asked this one before: are we absolutely certain that she will agree to debate Biden?
September 12th, 2008 at 3:18 pmWhen Charlie Gibson asks tough questions that Sarah Dumb Dumb has a hard time answering and you have to go to Faux News to have Hannity give a slow pitch softball interview session, you can just hear Palin’s credibility going in reverse.
More false praise is needed as blush to cover the lipstick’s flanks.

September 12th, 2008 at 7:10 pmHannity better not try the same shit he uses on non-GOP guests. If he tries this with Palin she will turn up that shrill, irritating voice and make his fillings drop out.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:32 pmOn the religious thing, the Charlie Gibson question really did take the question out of context. There are plenty of legitimate questions about her religious affiliations, progressives don’t need to misinterpret and mislead about her benign statements (like this one) or we’ll come off as being dishonest as well.
