      Good God...are there any sober adults in right wing journalism? They so often reduce reporting and analysis to locker room or barroom bantering. And I LIKE locker room and barroom bantering...just not in the commentary, reporting or analysis of news.

      I would think it would be a rather squishy moment.

      Don't ya love when Fox News and conservatives lose their marbles when the press supposedly "fawns" over Obama or any Dem, but these guys are more than transparent and obvious about their lust for Brown & Palin??

      Stinkin' hypocrites.

      As lousy a human being Sarah Palin is, she is a married woman. It takes a low man to refer to her in this way. What is wrong with today's commentators?

      WOW.

      In ANY proper newsroom, he would have been fired seconds later. Instantly.

      As I've said before even when the right supports a woman they still don't respect her. Had David Letterman made this joke Palin would be demanding his apology yet again.

      The sad thing is... This is probably the best moment someone interested in business could've turned on Fox News Business channel. That way, they'd see a couple of man-babies fawn over having Palin sitting in their lap instead of some BS about "look at the stock market right after Obamas speech! But don't look at a longer stretch, just focus on this 1 hour of the stockmarket. Nothing else"

        Speaking of Scot Brown, Wall Street stocks have really taken a dive since he got elected, and nosedived the day he go into office.
        Coincidence?

      Another example of right-wing have two faces. One face is being sexist as you see here and the other is placing GOP women in glass bottles who are never to be attacked for the appearance or for being women while at the same time doing the complete opposite to liberal women.

      First time Im going to say this on this site, but that was weak...Yea it seems hypocritical but Wallace seemed to have a friendly, joking tone here. While jokes have been made in the past, this seems the most innocent, to me. MMFA has higher standards than to nitpick like this, but they need to be held to that high standard. I am somewhat shocked by some of the posts I have read on this thread by individuals I see here all the time who have very respectable points of view. I don't mean to lecture...just pointing that out ;P

      Mike Wallace must be rolling in his grave.

      What?

      He's not dead yet? How old is he?

      I think Sunday should be an interesting interview... not only is she at the teabagger rally with a bunch of teabaggers who apparently don't want her there, but now she has to talk to her fellow Fox employee who made a sexist joke regarding her. Yeah... this will definitely be better than the Super Bowl. :)

      The Dems would be saying this too if there were any pretty women in their party. Feminists aren't that attractive. I'll take Angelina Jolie over Helen Thomas any day.
