Beck To Palin: Alan Grayson Is Hot, 'Yum Yum, Give Me Some'

Beck Palin

Taking a moment to mock reports of tensions, Sarah Palin did an interview with Glenn Beck on Friday, during which the pair indulged in self-satisfied ridicule over Rep. Alan Grayson's (D-Fla.) "hotness."

The former Alaska Governor and Fox News personality began their conversation by reflecting on a Politico piece published earlier this week that painted Palin as a diva who had managed to irritate the totality of the conservative movement, from the politicians to the media personalities. Obviously aggrieved by the story, Palin called the reporter, Jonathan Martin, a "punk" and "an idiot" for spreading "lies" about "the big guns" -- the big guns being Beck and other conservative talkers.

A conversation about Tea Party politics ensued, with some frank concern expressed about the tightening of the Senate polls. Then things turned to Grayson and got, well, a bit weird.

"Isn't he just the oddest duck in the entire political arena," Palin said of the Florida Democrat. "Is not he just an odd, odd person?"

(Starts around 9:40)

BECK: He is, he is... We were talking about him earlier off the air. And I've come to the conclusion that he is just one of those people who has absolutely no moral compass. It was taken out of him and jumped up and down on it and just destroyed his moral compass, he has none.

PALIN: Right, right. Well, what is the deal then, what is the attraction voters to Alan Grayson? He is not effective in a positive sense at all for his constituents. People look at him and say surely, you don't respect and you don't reflect the good people of Florida. So what is the attraction there?

BECK: I think it is his hotness... it is all physical. Come on Sarah, you know if Todd wasn't around you'd be like, 'yum, yum give me some.'

Putting aside the imagery (however disturbing), it's worth taking a moment to note just how consumed Republicans are with getting Grayson out of congress. The Florida Democrat is an obvious political target for the simple reason that he comes from a district that has generally been represented by Republicans. Obviously, however, it's his style as a legislator -- cheered by progressives for its unapologetic self-assuredness -- that gets the Republican blood boiling.

"Sarah," one of Beck's co-hosts said, in a playful intro to the discussion. "I'm wondering if you are bored with my personal aspirations here for this election, which is, it's okay if the republicans lose every seat in the senate and the house except for one, as long as that one is Alan Grayson losing."

For those of you who have Republican friends who claim to be Christian, and also are followers of Glenn Beck, and Sarah Palin, ask them three simple questions:

1. Do you believe in the bible?

2. Do you believe the bible is the literal word of God?

3. Would you read Romans Chapter 13 to me? http://bit.ly/1nyigU

That's creepy...whether you like her or him or not, they are both married and he doesn't need to come on to her like a school boy with lame come on.

Creepy.

Sarah Palin is the oddest thing that ever fell into the national political scene. Indeed, she should not be taking her famous pot shots at others, having so little to offer herself. Sarah Palin is a walking billboard extolling the need for a good education. (Solid knowledge saves a lot of writing on your hands.) What a twit.

Glenn Beck is mentally ill--it is self-evident.

Every time Nutcakes Palin and Beck open their mouths, I get sick!! This is why the Democrats have had so much trouble getting their message out. Fox News has destroyed our country and people need to wake up. Why would anyone vote Republican? They keep saying they want to take their country back -- where to? No ideas. Just protecting oil and corporate interests. They are not there for the people. They are just cons.

Another point I want to make is that unemployment is not free in California like the Republicans want you to think. We pay Federal income tax on whatever is paid out to us.

"Is not he just an odd, odd person?"

Did she really say that?

That's unforgivably stupid.

As usual, Beck has a Freudian slip-o'-de-tongue.

Last time he did that he was fantasizing about his sister.

I suppose it was overdo.

Does it still count as a "slip" if it's in writing?

This is all coming from Palin, who never did anything positive for anyone, unless their checkbook is out....the fact that they hate him so much actually speaks well for his character in my book. We all know that politicians that don't just go along with the stream really upset sheep like Palin and Beck...

The modern-day Romulus & Remus (wannabes), imagine themselves as the divinely sent architects of the New Jerusalem (America) where hate & ignorance magically serve as the foundation for prosperity & progress. Ah . . . . no . . .

"He is not effective in a positive sense at all for his constituents."

But quitting half way through your term is?
