After whining, Fox’s Megyn Kelly finally gets her interview with Palin.

On Monday, Fox News host Megyn Kelly complained that Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) “has yet to do any Fox daytime. She has not gone on this broadcast. She hasn’t gone on Fox and Friends. She hasn’t done Brit Hume’s show. She hasn’t done O’Reilly.” Kelly’s wish is apparently the McCain campaign’s command: Palin has now agreed to sit for an interview that will air next Monday at 9 a.m.

Meanwhile, Palin will appear on Fox’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” tonight. Palin’s interview with Kelly will be her seventh on Fox News (though Bill O’Reilly is still complaining that she has yet to come on his show).

    – - Great, another opportunity for Susteren to creepily inquire about the First Dude, ad nauseum.

    Well, isn’t that special? Whiny little blonde tartlet.

    Blech.


  4. Joe Sixpack says:

    That’s because Palin is trying trying to come up the questions she wants Kelly to ask.

    As for the rest of the Faux sites, why play to your base when you don’t have to?

    So, Megyn, now that Sarah’s “done” you, I have one question: Was it good for you?

    So goes life in the echo chamber!

    I wonder if ‘circle-jerk’ will get past the moderator….?


  8. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    The photo of Sarah Palin on the official McCain campaign site (http://www.johnmccain.com/) is from her official Governor’s portrait(http://gov.state.ak.us/official_portraits.php). My understanding is that it is against Alaska state law to use this photo for campaigning purposes. I did notice that they added a line to the effect that it was okay if she or her Lt Gov gave permission, but I am unsure if the law allows them to make exceptions to this. Besides that, what they did add clearly states that credit must be given to the photographer, and it does not appear the McCain campaign has done that.

    The socialist governor that pals around with convicted felons and separatists: I wonder what the interview will be about. e Probably drape colors, right?


  10. LividLib says:

    so much for probin’ palin.


  11. misshusseinmolly says:

    TP — I don’t know if you realize this, but you just used the word “whine” to describe Kelly’s displeasure at not getting a Palin interview, and you used “complain” to describe pretty much the same feeling from O’Reilly.

    While I’m sure you don’t mean to be sexist, it’s coming across that way. Let’s not suggest that a woman’s complaint is “whining” and a man’s complaint is not.


  12. Uncle Fester Lurks says:

    I wouldn’t mind giving Megyn a probing interview.


  13. gummitch says:

    I might watch O’Reilly “interview” Palin – on November 5th.


  14. krazeeinjun says:

    Here’s a leaked sampling of Megyn Kelly’s questions that will be asked of Governor Palin:

    Kelly: Governor Palin, do you believe Barack Obama’s appeasement of and ties to terrorists and Muslim sympathizers would tarnish the American Presidency?

    Kelly: Governor Palin, Barack Obama wants to “redistribute American wealth” to give handouts to lazy, shiftless, minority welfare scum — do you believe that is part of a sound economic policy?

    Kelly: Governor Palin, John McCain was a POW which is instant qualification for the title of Commander in Chief and is therefore more likely to lead America to victory in Iraq. Do you believe Barack Obama’s cozy ties to the Muslim Iraqi terrorists who attacked us 9/11 would hinder his ability to lead America to a great and resounding victory in Iraq?

    Just saying . . .

    Just don’t try to an alyze the circle-jerk…


  17. Keith H. says:

    Easy Fester, easy boy.

    Hell, even Palin knows billy is poison.
    I’ve heard they have a guest shower located adjacent the exit door of billy’s studio for anyone feeling .. less than clean.


  18. Bobwurst says:

    good point missmolly, O’Reilly can whine with the best of them, let’s give credit where credit is due.

    Megyn Kendall: The Fishbowl DC Interview in July:

    Who is your favorite active journalist? Brit Hume. The man truly knows everything about everything.

    (Of couse, Kelly got her start at Faux News by contributing legal segments for Brit Hume.)

    Would you say you’re cute? Pretty? Hot? Beautiful? Beautiful on the inside, which helps with the exterior.

    Kind of an egotistical little brown-noser, isn’t she?


  20. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Aw… ain’t that… “cute”…

    Jes’ two peas in a pod…

    Two pigs in a sty…

    Two Nazis in a… in a… help me out here, folks… time to play “Fill in the blank”.

    They’re just two Nazis in a “__________”…


  21. A Patriot Acting says:

    Megyn Kelly and Sarah Palin in the same room at the same time? Rich Lowry’s head will surely explode(which head I won’t mention)! Wow, talk about a brain trust, a true think tank. I here that they won’t allow Elisabeth Hasselbeck to be there, unfortunately. It seems Homeland Security has deemed it too great a security risk for the US if our top three geniuses were in the same room at the same time. God forbid if something were to happen, this nation would be truly lost! Too bad for O’Lielly, maybe Rupert will let Bill and Shawn onto Kelly’s set after the interview for a chair sniffing session. It took FOX a long time to clean up their bed bug infestation. Now they’ll need a good exterminator to extinguish all of teh stoopid cooties left lying around after this, what is sure to be a monumental, game changing interview!


  22. Nevar says:

    They can be BFF.

    “Oh Megyn, I just love your hair, I wish I was blonde doncha know!”
    “And I just love your glasses, Sarah, can I try them on? Will they make me look like I’m smart?”
    “You betcha, girlfren… say, would you like to be my press secretary?”
    “Oh golly, yeah, can I borrow some of your cool clothes?”
    “OK, but only if you’ll babysit on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday night too, just and case Todd and I don’t make it back in…”


  23. alphainfinityomega says:

    Let Palin preach to the FOX choir, it won’t help.

  24. CageyCretin says:

    Oh, my. Almost the entire male population of the 23% (and a secret portion of the female 23%) will be…. well…. ‘privately occupied’ while watching this. This sin’t an interview, it is pornographic material for the 23%.


  25. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    Palin’s interview with Kelly will be her seventh on Fox News (though Bill O’Reilly is still complaining that she has yet to come on his show).

    Could it be that even Sarah Barracuda finds Billo embarrassing.

    How embarrassing for the Republican party that they have a Vice President who is so incompetent she can’t do an interview any place other than the RNC sponsored Faux Noise.


  26. Cal Malenky says:

    It will be a moot point in 6 days.


  27. Lusmu says:

    Fox News = Creation Institute for Rethuglicans

    (ICR is a Creationist “scientific research” institute).


  28. straighttalkonmccain says:

    Maybe Fox should stop asking her “gotcha” questions too. http://straighttalkonmccain.blogspot.com/


  29. IgnoranceIsNotBliss says:

    Makes me glad that I don’t allow the FNC to be watched in my house.

    RoS @ 21

    bunker

    Nazis in a bunker

    too easy

    next


  31. ucsbclassics53 says:

    I would think that Governor Palin and Senator McCain would love a Barbara West-type interview, but let me guess…their liberal media jerk-reaction assumes that every journalist, including those on Fox will ask tough questions?


  32. Max-1 says:

    Why does FOXPRAVDA get all the good stuff…
    …Whhhhaaaaapublicans always get their way.

    Hey Megan; the following describes you and the other tramps at Fox News:
    Watch that Fox News or CNN newscaster. Besides dressing and putting on make-up like a prostitute (which,in a way you are) you just reek of insincerity.You don’t care if your telling the truth or not. All you care about is your career and being on TV. You and thousands like you, contaminate the airways on your TV nightly.You don’t care about the truth. You only care about your; and carrying on the facade that you are important. You are the lowest of the low.
    These are fake plastic people living in a make-believe plastic world. To expect them to tell the truth is like expecting men to bear children: it’s not going to happen.

    () I changed “they” for “you or they”
