Liveblogging Your Hour Of Glenn Beck And Sarah Palin

Hello, everybody. Today, we bring you a special liveblog of a meeting between two relatively new, arguably blockbuster Fox News personalities, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, who shall be spending an entire hour in the Beck Doom Room and Chalkboard Dust Emporium. The two will have a lot of issues to work out! Not long ago, Palin very good-naturedly suggested that Glenn Beck would be an ideal running mate for a 2012 presidential run: she called Beck "clever" and insisted she "wouldn't rule it out. Beck returned the kindness by saying:

I'm just saying, Beck-Palin, I'll consider. But Palin-Beck -- can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? She'd be yapping or something, I'd say, 'I'm sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I'm not in the kitchen.' I mean, you'd have to live up to the evil conservative stereotypes, you'd have no choice but to do so.

So: awkward, maybe? We'll see! Joining me in this endeavor is Air America blogger/podcaster Ana Marie Cox, because no one should have to do this alone.

The Yin and Yang: the Putz and Putzie; the cat and the mouse; the rich and the poor; the night and day/ the we and them/ the haves and have nots..... meaningless nonsense of Beck entertaining a shirt with Palin's limiting brain comprehension. Amusing the public while engaging in this 'crap' ( thanks Sarah) Obama and his the administration are working 24/7 his earned humanitarian efforts for aiding Haiti as if the USA government is removed of corruption necessary for global military money and operations benefiting global elite. INTENT? What better place to try our HAARP/weather manipulations. Sickening watching Beck and Palin as the duo reveals insanity as important to wisdom. What a tool to establishment of the press.

LMAO! Beck said that before they did the interview she was on her blackberry preparing for the interview and she was wondering why he had her at the statue of liberty. So I guess she got all that statue of liberty and founding father drivel off of wikipedia at the last minute. To funny!

You might get a kick out of this with Jimmy Kimmel...Beck and Palin on the Founding Fathers:

In an entire hour interview did anyone hear Sara articulate even one detail of her "common sense solutions" facing our country?

It was a narcissistic mutual admiration, conservative paranoid pity party between two ignorant clowns.

And neither of those fine upstanding Christians took 10 seconds the mention the disaster in Haiti.

I can't watch it here since I'm at work (and supposed to be working).

What did they say about the Statue of Liberty? I seem to recall them going off on what it represented, thereby showing they had no idea why it was given to the U.S.

'This just in:

On the next Beck/Palin hour, the topics get serious. The two of them will detail - on the chalkboard, no less - how the failed policies of the Obama administration caused the earthquake in Haiti(God's retribution because they're so liberal *wink wink*).

All of them? Wa shi ngton was the top gun? Is there a G O P history book that we don't know about?

Sarah Palin is magic. She is broadcast gold. Ratings skyrocket whenever she appears.

Jon Stewart comparing these two to Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter was brilliant!

[Jim MO PA]

I too like it. Jon Stewart rules.

She was clearly annoyed with his leering. Very uncomfortable to watch.

"Going head to head" usually implies an adversarial interview. Beck needed a leash, and she needed a teleprompter or in-ear to be prompted from a producer. Like watching furbies talk.

[Gladys1963]

11:16 AM on 01/15/2010

She was uncomfortable--anyone would be. The way he was leaning in, with his double chin pouring out of his shirt collar--it was like he wanted to lunge at her. Bleech!

“a lot of issues to work out”

This must to be Fox's attempt at a religious slot. Because a number of the comments passeth all understanding.

I saw the clipping last night at Hardball with Chris Matthews and the host said to this effect "How could a woman so uninformed go around representing the GOP base who doesn't know the Founding fathers of America which are in the grader's text book." All Sarap could say was "all of them"- or "collectively" and stating just George Washington in a muddle of vague sentences that they all "contirubted"--maybe a donation?

Hahahahahaha.....Beck was looking at her and I could formulate the words in his mind...this woman is just as c r a z y as I am!

Way to go, you DUO!!!

I wonder what Beck wrote in his journal after THAT interview!

[Jennifer]

10:49 AM on 01/15/2010

That journal was creepy!

She did appear to be having a couple of "WTF have I gotten myself into" moments.

I thoroughly enjoyed her "uncomfortableness".

Sarah Just told everyone that she Loves all the founding fathers. I guess she loved the ones that wanted a strong central government and she also loved the ones that had slaves and she loved the ones that beat their children and the ones that decided to leave America for Britain and just all of 'em.
Sarah, What is your favorite ice cream? All of 'em.
Favorite Color? All of 'em.
Favorite food? All of 'em.

Are you glad you Chose to have your children? YES!
So you are glad you made that choice? YES!
And you are glad you are allowed to keep the Governent Out of your private business and make your own choice? Yessno.

Palin makes Beck look like a Rhodes Scholar.

[Jim MO PA]

10:28 AM on 01/15/2010

I think the "Beck crazy" scares Palin. Did you see the interview?

[conscioushope]

Sarah's stance on education reminds me of some lyrics from the musical "Wicked":


"The trouble with schools is
They always try to teach the wrong lessons
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life."

Fox should only give her multiple choice questions with a, b, c or d answers.

But no E. All of the Above.
