Do you suppose that Beck sees Palin as his rival at FoxNews?

[eleny]

I only saw a clip on Hardball this afternoon since I don't watch FoxNews. But when Beck said, "Bull crap!" to her answer to his question about her favorite Founding Father I thought he was putting a pinch of sting in the question.

And I thought she reacted with surprise and got quite nervous. Beck challenged her while O'Reilly didn't. Bill O fed her leading, cozy questions and literally sucked up in the clip I watched yesterday.

I thought Beck saw someone who was already taking the spotlight off him. Time to take her down a peg.

[virgogal]

1. What was her answer to the Founding Father question?

[Bitwit1234]

5. Same as her answer as to which magazine do you likeA

ALL OF THEM.....golly now that you think of it, that has to be her stock answer to everything.

[virgogal]

6. Thanks !

[TlalocW]

7. She talked about her favorite founding father

Was George Jefferson, who wasn't only the first president as well as the author of the Declaration of Independence, but a capitalist who owned 7 laundromats.

9. Good one! :-) (I miss him)

[eleny]

10. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Canuckistanian]

24. LOL

And I mean REALLY LOL. :rofl:

[eleny]

20. Sorry I didn't get back to answer

I'm learning how to load my very first ipod and I lost track of time.

[virgogal]

31. No problem.

[undeterred]

30. I think she said it was John McCain.

[spanone]

2. well she will peg the wacko meter and that's been beck's domain

[eleny]

16. ...

[LostInAnomie]

3. I don't think anyone seriously sees her as a threat.

Beck and O'Reilly may be total pieces of shit, but they are not idiots. They know that Palin is a complete moron and is totally dependent on their favorable coverage. Take away their fawning and she falls apart.

[eleny]

14. I thought she might have fallen apart by now

But cunning people who don't have the smarts still have the skills to make things happen. And she appeals to that huge demographic of xtian fundie women who watch and send money to televangelists. Beck might be feeling vulnerable since he got his nose bloodied a little with losing advertisers.

I do agree that Beck and O'R aren't idiots. But Ms Smarty Pants has managed to keep her sycophants. I have to wonder if Beck will be getting nasty emails from people who don't like that he was a big meanie to their gal.

Thanks for your reply, though. You gave me something to think about. I can't bring myself to watch FoxNews. But news of her will surely break through my cone of silence where that network is concerned.
:hi:

[lunatica]

33. Yeah, that's worked so well so far

She's the one who invents crap and ends up on top because it makes everyone talk about her.

[Sanity Claws]

4. He was trying to set her up throughout the interview

First, he tries to get her to trust him by talking about trust and reading his own journal in which he made glowing remarks about her.
Then he tries to push her to say who she doesn't trust. Nice way to get her to burn bridges, don't you think?

He is very jealous of her; it's as though he really resents this new upstart who hasn't paid her dues. He probably has a good idea of how much she is making. I wonder how it compares to him.

[hlthe2b]

8. I've no doubt he's an insecure little man... he oozes that...

I guess he must be walking the tightrope--trying to capitalize on her celebrity while preserving his own "superiority"

Geez, so many disgusting RW talkers, who can keep up with who's on top?

[eleny]

23. Thanks for the additional details. I only saw the part where he went in for the kill

She'll be smarter next time and refuse to appear with him if there's q&a's unless she gets prepped beforehand.

[lunatica]

34. He actually fears her because of her meteoric rise

She's a different kind of wacko than he is and physically he's a pudgy little doughy nerdy looking type while she's 'beautiful'. Lots of people fear beauty and 'sexiness' in women. Especially fat little cry baby boy-men who pout and have to resort to weeping in order to get attention. I would lay bets he's a misogynist to his bones. Especially towards women who get as much attention as she does. If she were plain or even ugly she would be nobody and long forgotten.

[lunatica]

11. Beck is so hot for her that he wants to punish her

Because he knows she would never find him attractive.

Although didn't she once say he was brilliant or something?

[eleny]

15. Oh, you're getting deep on me now!

Be careful delving too deep into the Beck recesses.

I think we need showers.

[MadMaddie]

12. If he doesn't yet he will

You can't have two competing ego's like that and not have a showdown!!:popcorn:

[eleny]

17. My money goes on Sarah Barracuda

[Orsino]

13. Fuck, yes.

He has gotten all the attention, and that is ending. He works hard at his schtick, and all she has to do is show up and be pretty? He sure as hell is jealous.

[eleny]

19. She's like a one woman version of The View

Before it's over, she could have her own show discussing everything she knows nothing about.

[Orsino]

26. And radio shows on which to not discuss anything else she missed. n/t

[eleny]

28. But she'll still have so much to say

She acts like a windup toy, imo. Crank her up and give her a shove - and away she goes and goes and goes.

[Orsino]

35. This may make her perfect for Fox.

She is never at a loss for words (unless assaulted by Katie Couric). She will fill airtime with innocuous phrases. Cutting away to a commercial will not interrupt anything of import.

[lunatica]

32. Or discussing nothing she knows everything about

[graywarrior]

18. Two magnetically attracted and yet opposed knuckle heads wrestling for ratings

Good times.

[eleny]

21. I was just thinking of a cage match!!!

***The Beckster vs La Palin***

[graywarrior]

22. A Game of Marbles Match

They could use the marbles in their heads.

[eleny]

25. Oh yeah...

[graywarrior]

27. Or mud wrestling!

:applause: :popcorn:

[eleny]

29. Well that's when the truth will be told how she's really put together

In a spiritual sense, of course.

[HopeHoops]

36. No, but I bet Santorum does.

He's shooting to be the biggest fuckwad idiot in the 2012 race and she's direct competition.

[rustydog]

37. It's possible, she is a bigger man than Beck and has bigger balls

How much do you want to bet Beck is compensating for being bullied in grade school.

[rhett o rick]

38. At some point the republican men will put Palin in her place. She is ignorant and pretty but too

uppity for republican men.
