Beck Jokes He Won't Run With 'Yapping' Palin

Alaskan belongs 'in the kitchen,' Beck tells listeners

(Newser) – Glenn Beck says a Palin-Beck ticket won't fly in 2012, but he'd certainly consider a Beck-Palin run. No way he'd play second fiddle to the "yapping" Alaskan because she belongs in the "kitchen," he joked on his radio show. "I was just thinking, what, I'm going to take a back seat to a chick?" Sarah Palin recently called the idea of running with Beck a "hoot."

"Can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? Come on!" Beck said. "She'd be yapping or something and 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." Gawker figures it's a 50-50 split "on whether she flies into attack mode or sits back, arches an eyebrow, and quietly snubs him."

Romney's Likely VP Pick: 'Incredibly Boring White Guy'

Campaign aims to do the opposite of McCain

(NEWSER) - Team Romney’s rule of thumb: Do the opposite of everything John McCain did in 2008, or so reports Politico in a look at the campaign's strategy. The approach applies broadly, say advisers—focus hugely on the economy, fully engage in fundraising, integrate early with the Republican National Committee—but comes most into play in the search for a VP. The campaign doesn’t want to end up with its own version of Sarah Palin, so it is going to great lengths to avoid anyone who could be seen as unprepared. The goal, according to one official: Go with an "incredibly boring white guy." More»

McCain Jokes: Palin for VP

He calls GOP campaign so far 'disastrous'

(NEWSER) - John McCain stopped by CBS This Morning today and held forth on a number of topics, including health care reform, the GOP presidential contest, and most amusingly, the vice presidential sweepstakes. Asked who Mitt Romney should choose as his running mate, McCain, unable to keep a straight face, replied, "I think it should be Sarah Palin." The studio laughed appreciably, and McCain dutifully listed some more plausible candidates. "Obviously, it's a tough choice," he said, smiling again. More»

Richard Cohen: Now, ignorance is a virtue

(NEWSER) - HBO's Game Change is aptly titled: Sarah Palin did indeed change American politics, and not for the better, writes Richard Cohen in the Washington Post . Palin aides have confirmed the accuracy of the film's portrayal of an "ignoramus" who was "determinately incurious"; this year's "deluge of dysfunctional presidential candidates" shows that the trend has continued. "With her selection as John McCain’s running mate, American politics lost its way—and maybe its mind as well," he notes. More»

Sarah Palin 'Not Closing Door' to Becoming Nominee

She defends Limbaugh, votes for Newt

(NEWSER) - Sarah Palin says she won't rule out entering the White House race if the Republicans end up with an open convention in August. "Anything is possible. I don't close any doors that perhaps would be open out there, so, no, I wouldn't close that door," she told CNN after voting in Alaska's Republican caucuses. "My plan is to be at that convention." Palin declined to tell CNN who she voted for, but told Fox she picked Newt Gingrich, calling him "the cheerful one." More»

Santorum: Mitt Romney Bought CPAC

'I don't try to rig straw polls,' says candidate

(NEWSER) - Fresh off his loss to Mitt Romney at CPAC , Rick Santorum hit the talk shows this morning, and he's downplaying the victory, reports Politico : "You have to talk to the Romney campaign and how many tickets they bought—we've heard all sorts of things," Santorum told CNN. "Ron Paul has won those (straw polls) because he trucks in a lot of people, pays for their ticket, and they come in and vote. I don't try to rig straw polls." Elsewhere on the Sunday dial, as per Politico : More»
