Beck’s Sexist Reason For Ruling Out Palin-Beck Ticket: She’d Always Be ‘Yapping’ Like We’re ‘In The Kitchen’

Glenn Beck In recent days, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has indicated that she may be open to a conservative presidential dream ticket in 2012: Palin-Beck (or Beck-Palin). “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 told Newsmax. “But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He’s a hoot.” Fox and Friends plugged the idea yesterday morning and asked Palin whether she would run with Beck. She kept the door open, saying, “I don’t know. We’ll see, we’ll see.”

But just a few hours later on his radio show, Beck shot down the idea, saying he was “absolutely” ruling out a Palin-Beck ticket. He explained that if he had the number two job, Palin would always be “yapping” like they were in “the kitchen”:

BECK: I don’t think things are hoots. I don’t. I don’t think it’s a hoot. I would never use the word hoot, and I respectfully ask that every time my name is brought up she would stop using the word “hoot.” [...]

No, no I’m just saying — Beck-Palin, I’ll consider. But Palin-Beck — can you imagine, can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? What? Come on! She’d be yapping or something, and I’d say, “I’m sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I’m not in the kitchen.”

Listen here:

A woman’s appropriate place on a presidential ticket, according to Beck, is in the number two spot. Otherwise, she should just “yap” away in a kitchen somewhere. Apparently, being a vice presidential running mate behind a woman is a serious challenge to Beck’s manhood.

When Newsweek ran a picture of Palin in a running outfit on its cover this month, Palin and many others criticized the magazine for being sexist. Beck joined the outrage, saying the “attack” on Palin was “dizzying” and “devastating.” He said Newsweek had reached “the highest of the lows” and added that the magazine now “sucks.”

Transcript:

BECK: Now Sarah Palin, is — she’s down in Florida, and Fox asked her this morning a couple of questions. Do you have both questions or just the one?

PAT: I have just the one.

BECK: Oh just the one, okay. Alright.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: Chances you’ll run on a ticket with Fox’s own Glenn Beck, as was reported earlier this week?

PALIN: I saw that, I saw that. I got a kick out of it, and he probably thought that was just a hoot too to hear such a thing.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BECK: Okay, stop stop stop. I don’t think things are hoots. I don’t. I don’t think it’s a hoot. I would never use the word hoot and I respectfully ask that every time my name is brought up she would stop using the word “hoot.” (LAUGHTER)

COHOST: I think that’s a good safety tip.

BECK: I mean it’s a laugh, its funny, it’s ridiculous. You would say it’s ridiculous, because it is. It’s ridiculous. But I don’t think — please stop using the word hoot. [...]

BECK: Play the whole thing again.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: Chances you’ll run on a ticket with Fox’s own Glenn Beck, as was reported earlier this week?

PALIN: I saw that, I saw that. I got a kick out of it, and he probably thought that was just a hoot too to hear such a thing. Um, I don’t know. We’ll see, we’ll see.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BECK: We’ll see, we’ll see.

CO-HOST: He probably thought it was a hoot, though, she was — she was talking about you.

BECK: Yeah, let me just put this rumor to rest cause she’s obviously — she hasn’t ruled — she obviously hasn’t ruled it out.

(CROSSTALK)

BECK: Did she not say, and I quote, “We’ll see, we’ll see.” So she clearly hasn’t ruled it out.

CO-HOST: She said it twice, she reiterated it.

BECK: So while she’s considering it, I just want make it very — You’re such a jerk.

CO-HOST: What?

BECK: I’m sure she finds this a hoot. So while she’s still considering it — “we’ll see, we’ll see” — I just want her to know, I’m ruling it out.

CO-HOST: Really?

BECK: A Palin-Beck ticket — I’m absolutely ruling out.

CO-HOST: Oh God, not this again. Please can we not?

BECK: Please can we not? (CROSSTALK) No, no I’m just saying — Beck-Palin, I’ll consider. But Palin-Beck — can you imagine, can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? What? Come on! She’d be yapping or something, and I’d say, “I’m sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I’m not in the kitchen.”

CO-HOST: You’d you have to live up to evil conservative stereotypes, you’d have no choice but to do so.

BECK: I’d have to.

    Sarah Failin’:” Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He’s a hoot.”

    Yeah, ’cause that’s just what you’re looking for in a Vice-President. If he doesn’t make you laugh, what damn good is he?

    Come to think of it… maybe that explains Bush 41’s choice of Dan Quayle.

    And President Cheney’s choice of Dubya.

    Manhood? WTF? Maybe a challenge to his boyhood. The arse hasn’t progressed mentally past 8 year old doofus, he hasn’t even achieved perpetual petuland adolescene, let alone anything like “manhood”. Hell, he doesn’t even appear to have been potty trained yet.

    Slugs works for me. Leeches have some interesting characteristics and may actually be worth something medically. Dropping Glenda into a nice swamp pool with a leech infestation might be interesting too.

    Good question. It might be that any who are ‘outraged’ take a moment, a couple of deep breaths, and then consider the source.

    A lot of people will consider the source when it comes time to buy his PLAN.

    I would be unable to stop laughing if Palin and Beck were the Republican ticket. The world would rightfully think we have lost our sanity and arm themselves to the teeth. It would make interesting foreign relations if we had two psychos running the country.

    One slight correction: nightmare ticket.

    But that combination would be the biggest boon to comedians, humorists and any other entities that involves laughter in the history of the world. Anyone who would vote for such a ticket would be funny because they actually believe they’re doing the right thing and sad because they’re just dumber than shit.

    Whoever said, “if you live long enough you’ll see everything” nailed it!

    Let’s clarify, Mr. Dupe: it is called right-wing humor.

    Thus it is not recognizable as “humor” to the rest of us. Right-wing humor is based on, primarily, ridiculing the weak, and often in the most mean-spirited manner possible.

    Wonder what Palin’s HONEST reaction to the comment was… and how she feels about Beck after that…

  49. georgewalton says:

    All Palin need point out is that with Beck on the ticket it would be like spending all her time “yapping in the gutter”.

    Then Beck could really go down into the gutter and point out how, “I would love to work [wink, wink] under Sarah for 4 years”, or, “It might make more sense though in this dangerous world that I be on, uh, top.”

    Although Sean Hannity, Bill Kristol, and Rich Lowry might have something to say about that.

    That is such a profound truth, Wayne, well, except for the business of Conservatives being stereotyped by Liberals. Of course, they are so stereotyped, but we all know that there is just no truth to that. They simply believe in unrelenting punishment and discipline for the lower classes. It’s the only way they can be kept in line, yanno? Prisons, more prisons; that helps too. And then a little more punitive discipline – the lash, we must have the lash and a taste of the whip on the side…

    18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

    18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

    18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

    18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

    18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

    It’s just the Pharisee’s prayer, adapted by Daryll to show off his self-righteousness in the form of faux compassion…


  69. StopBeck says:

    The remarks highlighted in this post are from the second time he ruled it out.

    The first time he ruled it out with even more sexist remarks, saying (emphasis added):

    “First of all, let me rule that out. Palin/Beck? Ridiculous…I was just thinking, what I’m gonna take backseat to a chick? While you’re at it, go shoot a bear! Make some stew! I’m hungry in here.

Bush Jr., was deliberately indifferent to terrorism prior to 9-11, then intentionally misleads our nation into a war and subsequently invades the wrong country.

    Oh, that’s okay I guess. What is W. going to do with the rest of life anyway? Follow his dog and pick up its shit.

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Except you Dick, why don’t you go shoot Beck in the face.

    I’m struck with how fulsomely cutesy Mr. Beck’s behavior is. To watch and listen to him, you would hardly think he is an adult.

    Just about everything Glenn says or does has an antic tinge of cutesiness to it. He is always mincing and moue-ing and using weird jocularities. I cite the photograph above, in which Mr. Beck is ver-so-coyly doing the “quote” gesture. His comment about yapping in the kitchen was obviously intended to be disarmingly cute.

    Maybe he thinks this will help him get laid? I’ve seen guys do that.

    Anyway, it seems to me Beck’s act is hate talk covered in a glaze of sugar, e.g., “Golly gee! The Prez sure hates white people, huh!” Maybe he thinks he’s doing a kids’ show, which in many ways he is.

    Maybe he should do his show in knee-pants and a beanie. :)

    Needless to say, this ineffably creepy act is a smash with the 20-percenters, who desperately need cheering up. Glenn is just the man to do it. He’s skipping all the way to the bank.


  89. Purple State says:

    Said this before, and I’ll say it again…

    If you want to seriously get to people, you need to become a pundit or a comedian. One or the other. If Beck wants to holler and hoot about this made-up ticket, then he’s going to have to become a conservative Howard Stern and stay on the radio. He can’t merely be both a serious commentator and a shock-jock comedian.

    And that whole “PC” schtick from Mr. Duke? PATHETIC. Letterman jokes about Palin, and you were all up in arms. Beck jokes about Palin, and it’s okay now?


  90. USNclerk says:

    @89. Of course he’s fine with Beck making jokes, Beck and Limpballs run the party remember? They can do what they want, but a comedian should know better. \snark

    THEY
    EAT
    THEIR
    OWN.


  92. USNclerk says:

    @91. kinda unhealthy for their population when you think about it.

    pobeeno
    The Privacy Center sucks ass and so do you…


  94. USNclerk says:

    Do we just flag these guys for dragging these useless links with them?


  95. Wiz says:

    I suppose the radical right will think that Beck is showing disrespect for Palin and will come down on him like a ton of bricks? What a hoot!


  96. majii says:

    Wiz–Let’s not hold our breaths waiting for that to happen. We have to save our strength for squashing and ridiculing them for their hypocrisy and for voting to keep as many of them out of office as possible, of course.


  97. USNclerk says:

    Here Here! I second the motion to squash reichwingers! :)


  98. Virtual Pebble says:

    Eh? Squash the vegetable/fruit, squash the game or squash the drink? Oh, the fourth protocol.

    Nah. I vote for the woodchipper option.


  99. Virtual Pebble says:

    @ 95. USNclerk …

    I think advertising and spam is a legitimate flag

    that’s just my opinion mind you

    I flag ‘em

    Mediaite: Glenn Beck Jokes About Sarah Palin Belonging “In The Kitchen”

    The picture is a little fun, yapping.


  102. T.H.E.Cat says:

    RE: USNclark @ 95:

    That’s what I do.


  103. Purple State says:

    You know who else is funny, Stew? David Letterman.

    Oh, wait. John Ziegler wasn’t laughing.

    I guess it wasn’t funny.

    I guess I’ll just have to laugh at your hypocrisy.


  104. Purple State says:

    You really shouldn’t be so forgiving, Tracy. The next time Beck criticizes someone for being sexist against Palin, this is going to be all over the place, whether it was a joke or not.

    If Beck demands that others be apologetic, he’s going to have to learn how to apologize himself.


  105. mari2RR says:

    Beck is a walking example of complete sexist thinking. If he thinks he endears himself to female Republican voters he is sadly mistaken. Besides, Palin in so much more qualified than Beck in almost every area of life. Beck has proven himself to be so biased against half of this country’s population so that I doubt he could succeed in a fight for as his local dog-catcher position. In one sentence he has alienated women in general and Palin supporters in particular. Palin would be wise to steer clear of any run for office beside Beck the women hater.
