Jeri Thompson blasted Fox News host Chris Wallace on the Fred Thompson show today, calling his joke that he hoped Sarah Palin would sit on his lap during an interview with him "inappropriate" and "insipid," and demanding "action from Fox.
Thompson, the wife of the former senator and presidential candidate, told POLITICO's Jonathan Martin that the remark, to Fox Business's Don Imus, amounted to misogyny, and that she was tired of seeing it from "these dirty old men" on Fox, a network that she said ought to be respectful of conservative women.
"Sarah Palin is now part of the Fox family," Thompson said on the show. "She deserves you all watching her back -- and I do not mean it literally."
Wallace, she said, "owes her an apology."
"Not only is she a national figure – she deserves the respect that any other man would get in that situation," Thompson said, saying that her inbox was full of complaints from conservative women over the segment, and that the Palin group Team Sarah, as well as the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List, were dismayed by the segment.
"I hope that Fox does something about this, and they actually take this on, because it is not funny," Thompson said.

I’d like to see a quote of that myself
Any word from Jeri Thompson about the libel, lies, slander, and other insults and abuse heaped on Gov Palin by MSNBC? If not, she needs to STFU. Thanks pissant.
There’s nothing wrong with holding the left to their own standards.
Imagine if conservatives were making lap-dance jokes about the first lady.
No, but your mama is. LOL, so funny.
Let me guess--you'll be here all week ;)
Two people that I cannot fathom how they have had any career at all--Don Imus and Larry King.
Damn a wookie lap-dance....sounds too kinky for me.....ewwwwwwww.
Here is the video of his introduction of Sarah Palin at the NTP Convention
Pretty mild, and I think he meant it in a political fashion

I totally must have missed that remark! I’ll have to go rewatch the interview...wonder if Chris would ask Scott Brown to sit in his lap? No? Then he shouldn’t have made the remark to Sarah either.
The jury is still out on that one.
LOL!
Oh, it was said on Imus.
::rolls eyes backwards in head::
If Chris said this, it wasn’t in good taste.
As to you emulating the left with the lowbrow comment about being retarded, I didn't think it was funny. What I do find amusing is the fact that one of my ex inlaw's son, born with downs and now a young man with downs, has made more money in movies than you or I ever will.
Handicaps can be overcome with the right kind of support.
Heck, even asshats can learn, just most of 'em would ruther not.
Glad to see you learned from the best!
In an effort to NOT sound inappropriate myself, I presume you mean "apologize", right?
To 301 - I’d then suggest you view a tape of the event.
I don’t like Wallace’s style or content for the most part...and this is another reason why I don’t like him...and why I do like Geri Thompson for jacking him up. BRING BACK BRIT HUME! BRIT, WOULD YOU PLEASE CONSIDER IT? OUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU AT THIS CRITICAL TIME.
When a poster mentions something like you did, they usually know the phrase they are talking about
So I ask
But I do look for myself, as some posters don't know the phrase they are commenting upon
I did view it this morning
Take a look so you will know what he said.
