What is normally the stronghold of congenial xenophobic opinions, chauvinistic statements and twisted interpretations of fictitious factoids turned interesting this last Tuesday January 27th when Bill O?Reilly and Sarah Palin managed to create quite the stir.
On his show aired at 8 p. m., O?Reilly mentioned the nine Republicans who presented themselves in Iowa the weekend prior, taking special aim at Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. Leaving the duo for last, the pundit said they would
“certainly liven up the proceedings but they need effective organizations in 50 states and that’ll be a major challenge for them.”
Palin, apparently watching the spiel, managed to find a spot on the network 2 hours later, straight from Alaska.
By 10 p.m., the still Fox contributor showed up as a guest on Sean Hannity, wearing a scorned face and?spouting words of dismay towards lack of unity from the GOP.
?On FOX, kind of a quasi or an assumed conservative outlet, we have all day listening to the Ts of Bill O?Reilly,”
“He’s talking about, the guests on his show tonight or the commentary on his show, and that would be all these GOP contenders thinking about running for President, like Donald Trump, Sarah Palin and he names them off. He says, ?Oh what a reality show that would be, yuck, yuck.?
??The left doesn’t do that, they take the serious because this is war and hopefully the media, even the quasi, right side of the media, won’t be looking at this as some kind of reality show, a joke because maybe they have … they’re taken care of. They’re fine.”
?No, the people of America deserve the best and competition through a GOP primary, whether a Bill O?Reilly or somebody else assumes a reality show or not, they deserve that competition to surface the competitor who can take on Hillary [Clinton] or whomever it may be and win for this country.?
A grayish Hannity tried to interrupt the rant a few times but could not stop her from criticizing O?Reilly, the cable network’s most watched show.
After unloading her tit for tat, former Governor Palin made a passing comment on what was probably the only relevant 10 seconds of the entire affair:
Will she run in 2016?
And in typical Sarah Palin style, delivered a word salad.
?I along with so many others on a deep bench, no doubt are thinking about it but it’s much too early to say.?
