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.
If Chris said this, it wasn’t in good taste.
Wallace said the exact thing on Mike Gallagher’s radio show on Friday. I heard it myself and was a little surprised.
But she is correct. Palin is not a pin up girl and treating her like that only lessens her.
Calling it insipid and whatever, I’m down with. Demanding action makes her look foolish.
I hope Chris doesn’t apologize. Especially after calling Sarah out on the Rahm/Rush/Retard thing. She just got a little of her own back, that’s all. Serves him right. I watched the FNS interview. Chris was clearly annoyed with Sarah for not coming on sooner, annoyed at having to go to Nashville and mingle with Tea Partiers (eww, real people! Get me back to DC! Whaddya mean there’s a blizzard!) But she went toe to toe with him, not just held her own but talked over him, corrected him, made her points, mocked him when he was condescending (you don’t know? That’s not very good analysis. Fire me, Roger, I’ve failed already). I listen to Fred and Jeri every day. If Jeri wants an apology she should get it from Imus for the question, putting Chris on the spot. How should he have gotten out of it? It’s ridiculous.
I am disappointed that Wallace said this in public. We all know when men get together they can raunchy, but in public it is unacceptable. Women don’t like it. Saying she is beautiful, fine, but no touching or lusting. Coveting your neighbor’s wife is wrong. Simple.
Chris Wallace has now joined the ranks of men that have not the ability to engage the brain above their waist. They may as well just use their heads for a whistle for all the good it does them.
It’s mind boggling the piss ant males that won’t take Obama on and CALL HIM OUT on his lies, but just mealy mouth about it, can always make off color remarks about women just like the lefty loonies do.
She’s right.
What Wallace said is sexist at it’s very best, and he oughta be punished by being made to interview Gloria Steinem.
Jeri Thompson reacts to stuff like this in a grim, humorless way, obviously due to her self-consciousness and anger over being perceived by many as a dizzy trophy wife, herself.
good grief
I hate seeing the hypersensitive reaction to this.
Grow up everybody!
Actually I think the lovely Jeri is being a bit strident over this.
Wallace was set up by Imus and played along.
Sarah is hot as hell which is a major plus in my book.
I doubt many MEN find her unattractive.
Wallace should know better - he just lost a little cred with a lot of people. Too bad.
Maybe we should all just send a written letter of apology to Palin in advance for anything that she might find offensive.
Because I feel like she is going to be doing little more than being aggrieved for the next three years.
he he. "I hate to see you go, but I love to watch you walk away..." Isn't that a country song?
Why is everyone blasting Wallace and not Imus who started the remarks? Just because Imus is known to be a pig is no reason to let him off the hool.
