Fox News poll: Palin should be a homemaker.
Fox News poll: Palin should be a homemaker.
When Sarah Palin resigned as governor of Alaska over the weekend, she left pundits and politicos to speculate about her next career move, with the latest rumor focusing on Palin hosting a radio show. Earlier this week, Fox News released a poll revealing a plurality of Americans think Palin shouldn’t do radio — or be involved in politics:
About a third of Americans think the best job for Palin is homemaker (32 percent), while nearly one in five see her as a television talk show host (17 percent). Vice president of the United States comes in third (14 percent), followed closely by college professor (10 percent), with president coming last (6 percent).
Republicans think the best job for Palin is vice president (27 percent), followed by homemaker (18 percent), talk show host (14 percent), president (12 percent) and professor (7 percent).
According to the Fox poll, 51 percent of Americans have a negative view of Palin, compared to 38 percent who say they have a favorable opinion of her.

10 % say college professor ? She doesn’t even have a Master’s Degree – doesn’t meet minimum standards.
Oops, she doesn’t meet standards for the other positions either
July 30th, 2009 at 2:18 pmMore than a quarter of those repiggie lunatics think that she is fit to be President or Vice-President.
What a bunch of idiots, wanting to be led by an idiot…
By the way, Lou Dobbs is a moron.

July 30th, 2009 at 2:19 pmSarah should just put on her waders and start walking out to sea.
I mean, many think she can walk on water.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:21 pmAbout a third of Americans think the best job for Palin is homemaker (32 percent)…
If Palin is even remotely like the “family values” men of the GOP, the above should be changed from “homemaker” to “homewrecker”.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:21 pmFox News poll: Palin should be a homemaker.
– - Some methodology, eh? Does FOX ask retired male politicians if they’ll be a Homemaker?
And college professor? Says Mr. Hand, “What are you people on….dope!?”
July 30th, 2009 at 2:22 pmOver half of Fox followers have a negative opinion of Mrs. Sarah Palin. I’d like to see a poll on rational people’s view of her. I’m guessing mid 70’s

This is going to be very interesting because the poll was done by Fox. I wonder if Palin is going to denounce Fox as part of the MSM. Stay tuned.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:26 pmThere is only one place for Sarah Palin: Fox News.
She hasn’t done a particularly admirable job with her family. She couldn’t hold down 3 hours on talk radio. She wouldn’t be able to draw enough viewers in syndication. That leaves Fox News. They are made for each other. She could follow Glenn Beck:
Glenn Beck: Fox News Evangelist Of The Coming Obama-Pocalypse
We need to quarantine all fo the crazies on Fox.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:27 pmI’m sorry, but any home Sarah made I don’t think many would want to live in.
She can’t make it on radio because people would be forced to listen to what she says. TV is her only choice where her winning smile, wink-wink and short skirts would work.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:28 pmGreat. How many such polls are taken about male politicians?
That’s Fox for ya!
July 30th, 2009 at 2:29 pmHow come no one recommended working the register at Wendy’s?
July 30th, 2009 at 2:30 pmShe would look really cute in that uniform.

Who cares but you ARE a stupid piece of filth and a worthless troll that is a certainty
July 30th, 2009 at 2:33 pmIf Palin so loathes the media, how is she going to get her message out? She has painted herself into the same corner as Jesse “The Body” Ventura who made a career out of whining about the very media that he was entirely dependent upon for his very existence.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:34 pmClear Channel has turned her down. They don’t believe she has what it takes to do a 3 hour program.

I don’t believe she’s her husband’s son, just FYI. Yuu could correctly use “OSarah Umm Bristol” if you like…
July 30th, 2009 at 2:35 pmSeriously, as the mother of a son with a developmental disability — although a disability not nearly as severe as Down Syndrome — I know how difficult it is to raise such a child while having a career outside the home.
But at the same time, a woman not suited to staying at home full time ought not do so.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this Fox poll, but I’m kind of floored here.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:35 pmHAHAHAHAHA….DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN THESE RIGHTWING FASCIST MISOGYNISTS EAT THEIR OWN?
TOO BAD PALIN ISN’T A FEMINIST…..THEN MAYBE TODD WOULD LET HER OUT ONCE IN A WHILE.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:36 pmCOLLEGE PROFESSOR???? Jesus H. Christ this woman cannot speak in complete sentences and thinks she can see Russia from Juneau and people think she should be a prof??? I think I would slash my freaking wrists before I would suggest Caribou Barbie for a professor. Maybe the six percent who see her in that role thought college professor was synonomous with “wasted protoplasm”??
July 30th, 2009 at 2:36 pmAre we finally starting to see some backlash? Apparently Bible Spice’s constant whining about everybody hating her has become prophetic. I’m greatly relieved that a clear majority of the most rabid Reichwhiners don’t want her anywhere near the White House.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:37 pmThose were the only choices in the poll? Homemaker, talk show host, VPOTUS, professor, and POTUS?
How come my career counselor never offered me those choices?
July 30th, 2009 at 2:38 pmThe college professor thing is just too funny.
Oh my god…

July 30th, 2009 at 2:39 pmIt’s FAUX, Zooey. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had included “Surrogate Mother for hire”. Or “maid”.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:39 pmHomemaker? You mean Todd may actually have to go get a job?! Yeah, right.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:40 pmwatchdog says:

That’s who the “college professor” category came from. I seriously doubt any respondents came up with it by themselves.

Whoo. I haven’t laughed like that in a while. Fox News viewers just redeemed themselves (only slightly) for me with that poll.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:40 pmHomemaker Sarah NOT. She let’s her teenage children drunk and have sex even letting them have their mates have sex in her house. Now she uses the Church when needed with lies. She gave the Fox News reporters something they will never forget while running for VP. Now Sarah answered her Hotel door in only a towel and let the guys in then went to get dressed. Remember the wink that made every male viewer think it was for them. Some TV male Anchor people were acting like they were going to date Sarah or more. Still today Pat Buchanan has hope one day he’s get a couple of seconds with Sarah as is others who dream. Sarah is looking to cash in on her 15 minutes of fame no matter who she has to take on or what ever she has to do. Look how many Republican Law Makers are having affairs and have the hots for Sarah. The old fashion way of woman getting what they went goes back to even Genesis of the Bible.

Happen to catch Shatner reciting her farewell speech as poetry to music?
F-in’ hysterical.
“Denali… the majestic one… soaring high over head…”
Talk about incoherent…
July 30th, 2009 at 2:45 pmI stand corrected. Those two “universities” would be a great place for her. And lets not forget Oral Roberts “University”.
BTW…knowing about “chiroptera” are you a biologist?
July 30th, 2009 at 2:46 pmThis might be the next great parlor game — What should Sarah do?
I figure she would be best in an area where she’s had some experience and doesn’t have to learn a whole bunch of new stuff. Beauty pageant coordinator, perhaps.
Or, she appears to be physically fit with a surplus of energy — maybe an outdoor job? Forest ranger?
Or perhaps she should make use of some of her marketing skills and become a real estate agent.
There are lots of possibilities — mostly out of the national spotlight.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:47 pmDam Fox News Poll that liberal bias media
shaking my head poor Sarah gets no respect

July 30th, 2009 at 2:47 pmSarah is good at promoting turkey sales. To all those lecherous old Repugs cheering at her on TV and choking their turkeys.

I heard Palin doing Palin’s farewell speech. Shatner helped me get my sanity back…
July 30th, 2009 at 2:47 pmSarah Palin, Professor of Skankology
July 30th, 2009 at 2:47 pmYeah, they are, which is why this poll came out the way it did.
A poll from a liberal channel would have had completely different professions, as liberals know that asking if she should be a homemaker is sexist, pres and VP are out, because she’d get 0% for those answers, she isn’t smart enough or qualified enough to be a college professor (and none of us would ever accept someone like her teaching our children..especially when they’re paying for a decent education), and we wouldn’t want her polluting our televisions with her stupid face.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:48 pmFox News Poll is a right wing propaganda poll right?
What could be right-wing about a poll where 1/3 of respondents say that a woman’s place is in the kitchen?
Oh, yeah. Everything.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:48 pmI’d perfer her being a homemaker to her working in the White House.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:50 pm36. ROS – I’ve sent clips of Shatner reading Palin the YouTube link. Hilarious.
Its no “Rocket Man”. But he only had Palin to work with.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:50 pmI would prefer the radio gig personally, I never listen to that crap so would never have to hear that whining “You betcha!”

There is a collector’s item album out there, in the Universe, of Shatner reciting the lyrics to “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” as poetry… it is equally hilarious.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:51 pmRepublicans think the best job for Palin is vice president (27 percent),
I would take this as an insult if I were Sarah Palin (which I am not.) It’s the kind of position one can normally ignore. (Dick Cheney tried to alter that, but his future prison stint might make him change his mind about that.) But let’s face reality here. It’s designed to be a “do-nothing job”. When someone thinks that “the best job” for you is Vice President, they don’t think too highly of your abilities.
That is not to say that everyone who has served as Vice President was otherwise useless, and I’m sure Vice President Biden will do a fine job. But I think his “best job” was as Senator. I don’t think that anyone would have suggested that “the best job” for Joe Biden was as Vice President.
I hope this convinces Sarah Palin to give up on a life in politics. Her fellow Republicans don’t think much of her.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:52 pmZooey,
Speaking of her farewell speech, did you see Cenk’s deconstruction? Not in the same class a s Shatner but I enjoyed it.

Oh, lovely Sarah meter maid,
July 30th, 2009 at 2:56 pmWhere would I be without you,
Give us a wink and make me think of you.
I doubt that Palin will give up on trying for the presidency. She thinks that spewing the hard core neocon line is going to help her with other voters. It will take a couple primaries for her to drop out.

July 30th, 2009 at 3:08 pmIt’s demeaning to homemakers to say that’s all Palin is good for. Palin would fit in well with all the other conservative radio talk show hosts. She runs off at the mouth but says nothing.

July 30th, 2009 at 3:13 pmDoes anybody know what her “talent” was when she competed as Miss Wasilla in the Miss Alaska pageant? Could she make a career of that?
July 30th, 2009 at 3:14 pmI think she played a musical instrument. Violin or something I think.
And there’s always next season of “She’s got the look”.
She might do well there.

July 30th, 2009 at 3:18 pmWith Sarah mainly focused on howling at the moon, I would think her talent would have been the lead dog in the Iditarod race that year.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:20 pmSarah should take over Meet the Press.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:21 pmAs for a good career for Bible Spice? I think she should do the mavericky thing and go into animal byproduct distribution and disposal.

There’s nothing more mavericky than being a professional quitter.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:25 pmIn the alternate universe where Sarah Palin is teaching, I expect the standard true/false test would become better known as the you betcha/say it ain’t so.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:26 pmShe could ask Cindy McCain for a job as a sales rep. in her beer distribution business.

July 30th, 2009 at 3:50 pmsorry that’s all i got.
The best thing about Palin is that she will suck up a lot of Republican cash, so it won’t be available to Republican candidates that might have half a chance. She will also get lots of attention, heard anything about Romney or Huckabee lately? I sure haven’t. She is a total diversion for the Republicans, all the wingnuts will attack any Republican that dares to criticize their precious Sarah. Throw in the birthers, and a bit of economic recovery, and it is easy to see the GOP is is deep trouble.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:56 pmI see we have a troll heavily beset by projection again.
Just because we talk about someone in an unflattering way, it’s NOT because we’re “afraid” of that person. We talk about that person, and the stupid things that person said or did, because we are amazed that anyone would think that person worthy of higher public office.

July 30th, 2009 at 4:36 pmAfter watching her inability to answer the simplest of questions without randomly spewing unconnected talking points handed to her by equally incompetent advisors, I have to say she is unable to think on her feet so should not be in a position where thinking is needed.
Perhaps she could become one of those people you see in parks picking up garbage with a pointy stick (or one of those hand grabby things.)
July 30th, 2009 at 4:50 pmIf John Yoo can get a job teaching law, then who knows what kind of teaching job Sarah Palin can get? I wouldn’t be surprised if she ended up teaching law at Regent University.
July 30th, 2009 at 4:54 pmPersonally, I don’t think she can even do homemaker the way she schlepped those poor kids around. They didn’t attend school for half the year. Heaven forbid she home schooled them.
