Imus is a no-talent putz. Sad to hear that Wallace stooped to his level.

[LussaO]

It depends on who cracks the joke. If it’s a good lookin’ guy, you eat it up. If a twerp like Chris Wallace says it - you’re outraged.

[SoldierDad]

If Sarah Palin felt offended I’m positive she’s a big enough person to request an apology from Wallace on her own. She doensn’t need someone to run interference for her.

[pissant]

It was on Imus. An irreverent and irrelevant gum flapping program

[pissant]

Barney Fag?

[pissant]

Nah. Hot women (which I don’t even think Palin qualifies) will always be treated thusly.

Jeri!? Ease off babe! Take a chill pill! It was a joke! Silly — maybe even stupid when Chris KNOWS what the Liberofascists in the Lamestream Media and the Democrat party will fo with it.

Yep.
Put it this way.
Sarah is without a doubt a beautiful woman.
Red-Blooded men LIKE to look at beautiful women.
Sometimes they make remarks about it.
This does not make them bad people all of a sudden.And then, It's 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET'S TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!!!

Gloria Steinem may look like a hag today, but back in the day she was not an unattractive woman...

Has Todd punched out even one person yet? With all the anti Palin sentiment out there, seems he would be doing little else!

I think Todd would rather ride snow machines and fish, than serve time in prison.

The last thing this country needs is the right wing version of the PC police. We should be out to destroy PC. It is marxist poison.

[P-Marlowe]

Wallace was wrong. Thompson is right. In a different age, Wallace could have been shot.

He owes TODD Palin an apology.

Actually if Sarah Palin is a co-worker with Wallace, then Wallace could be fired and both he and Fox News could be sued for sexual harrassment.

Oh the double standards that the Media weaves.

[pissant]

Not my cup of tea. But not bad for an old fart like Fred.

[pissant]

And we should all be trying to KILL PC, not expand it.

[ohioWfan]

I'm not sure that what we're talking about here is just being "PC," pissant.

Sarah Palin has been beaten and bloodied by the left as female trash. She has been treated as no male, even a conservative, would ever be treated by anyone, left or right.

When a guy like Wallace plays into it in any way shape or form, he should apologize for it.

No one should make a big deal about it, but the inappropriateness of the comment in light of the way Palin is treated by the sexist, vile left needs to be addressed.

Again........I don't think it's "PC" stuff we're talking about here. JMHO.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks, besides losing my appetite, my libido just ran away after viewing those oinkers.

[dervish]

[xzins]

She is married. So far as I know Wallace is married.

In any case, he has disrespected, Sarah Palin, Todd Palin, and whoever his wife is.

[WVNan]

Palin overreacted to Rahm.

Oh, I believe that Sarah is just playing their game against them, and good on her. I wish more people would do that. It might put a stop to some of the P.C. garbage. Apparently she pushed it back in their face with the "Hi Mom" palm too. She's the first conservative we've seen in ages who could give as much she got. Reagan could do that too. Gut them with a smile.

[mfournier]

As a guy, I have to admit, Sarah Palin is hot. I admit it was inappropriate to say on the air, but you can certainly understand where he was coming from.

[Lucky9teen]

I’m sure if Sarah had heard the joke, she laughed at it and took it as light heartedly as Wallace meant it.
