Just how stupid are the viewers of Fox News?
No SERIOUS cable news outlet would flash such a ridiculous question across the screen.
It is getting almost impossible to differentiate Fox News from The Onion.

When are these people going down? Seriously - I don't think I can take much more of this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout a peace treaty? Awesome!
Ugh.
T
Bargain-counter Britney.
ReplyDeleteShe won't rule out 'run at office': To me, it simply says that she won't rule out being a RECEPTIONIST at AN office. :P
ReplyDeleteI suspect Fox may be punking Bristol.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Sarah's loyal worshipers over at C4P, they no longer think very highly of that particular news source. They feel it is no longer friendly toward the future POTUS. Hahaha!
Is Murdoch also publishing Brisket's book?
ReplyDeleteNo, Gryph, The Onion is funny. Fox is just moronic.
ReplyDeleteI really do not feel comfortable looking at the screen picture of Bristol Palin.
ReplyDeleteDoes her chin come with a bra? What is it, a B or C cup?
I'm of the mind some writer at FAUX was about to be fired so he loaded the chyron and ran out laughing.
ReplyDelete"Is Murdoch also publishing Brisket's book?"
ReplyDeleteIs that supposed be a dirty euphemism?
You could just as easily write "President " with anyone on a magazine or tabloid in the supermarket check-out line.
ReplyDeleteHey, Gryph. Do the math and figure out at what point President Obama has been in office longer than Palin was Governor of Alaska. When that day comes, we need to celebrate it.
She's also taken another page out of her mother's book: remarking on remarks about her. Now, she takes on Kathy Griffin's comedy routine, especially where she refers to Bristol as "White Precious." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/09/bristol-palin-fires-back-katy-griffin_n_820636.html
ReplyDeleteLove the comments.
I think what it is is that B saw her incredibly dumb mother run for office and win, then get selected for VP, and get all sorts of accolades for doing NOTHING, and B wants to follow in her mother's footsteps of not ever actually working, but getting to be a famous person that makes lots of money from pretending to be important.
ReplyDeleteSo when some reporter asks her "will you ever run for office"? B thinks in her head "Oh, this person thinks I might actually be qualified for office" and then thinks of her clueless mother who spent a few hours at the office, came home, took hour long baths and read People magazine, then watched "Desperate Housewives" while her children made supper, helped each other with their homework, and did the laundry, oh, and cared for their little "sibling" Trig, all while Mommy was relaxing from a hard hard day at the two hour office day. If Mommy could do it, certainly BRISTOL is up to the task. Plus Bristol is a "Christian" so of course that automatically qualifies her to be a government official. And then her staff could watch her babies, just like how Mom did it.
I will make no attempt to explain Fox News' banner.
When Paris Hilton made that spot on running for POTUS, everyone knew she was just joking. With the Palins, any Palin, apparently--not even the MSM seems to get the joke.
now thats funny. about as funny as BIll Maher acting like a hypocritical bastar over the Oreilly/Obama interview
ReplyDeleteto 6:45, I dont know what pull Murdoch has over publishing companies but I also didnt know William Morrow is under HarperCollins.
ReplyDeleteBristol is her generation's Sarah Palin, oh, wait,
ReplyDeletehmmm....yikes.
Why wouldn't she after watching her mom? Hire someone else to do your job, come home at noon, watch wedding shows and make a butt load of money. I'm all over that gig. This rill job is cutting into my TV time!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Gryphen, I think it must be opposite day at the Fox News office.
ReplyDeleteHah! Hah! Nice one, Mr. Headline Writer!
This is a major slam on sarah. Fox is covering Bristol for POTUS in the same manner it once covered sarah for POTUS.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
The arrogance of this young uneducated piece of inarticulate trash takes my breath away. Bristol, darling, if you actually want to run for office, go to college, go to law school, get some real job experience and THEN start talking about it.
ReplyDeleteI guess she thinks if you can get on DWTS without being either a dancer or a star, if you can get offered a radio gig when your entire vocabulary consists of "awesome" and "sucks", if you can get paid $$$$$ to run around the country talking about abstinence while you're bonking any guy with a pickup truck, well then why couldn't you get elected for office when you probably can't even name the three branches of the government? I mean, look at mom.
And for those who asked, yes, William Morrow is an imprint of HarperCollins, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the same sleazy rightwind plutocrat who owns FOX.
Fox News unsupervised intern's fantasy shows pathetically limited world view.
ReplyDeleteFox News is the class clown of broadcasters. Being ignored by serious journalists means there is simply no limit to Fox News' grasping for attention.
When Levi was talking about running for mayor of Wasilla, didn't Bristol snidely say "He would have to go back to school first" Well, does that mean running for president does not require an education? This family is so full of their own importance, it really is sickening.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you want to bet?
ReplyDeleteSome young hotshot Tea Party type - who dreams of taking over the world some day - is already wetting his pants over the idea of anointing Brisdull as his VP.
The plains think that they are going set themselves up to be another American "royalty" family like the Kennedy's . Boy is it going to hurt when that family finally crashes and burns - publically.
ReplyDelete@ 6:36 - as in Wallmart vs Value Village?
ReplyDeleteI guess that Bristol sees politics as her next opportunity. The book deal seems to have fizzled. People report that it was taken down from Amazon. Nobody jumped at the chance to star Bristol in her own reality TV series. What else is a girl to do when she lives far from home and doesn't know anyone. Run for office. If that doesn't work out, Major League Baseball is starting spring training next weeks. Maybe Bristol could land a spot on one of the teams as the first female major league baseball player. Or, maybe she should set her goals even high, female astronaut. Who needs school or training when you've got so much talent!
ReplyDeleteWonkette counts 48 interrupts of the POTUS by Bill O'Reilly in a single interview.
ReplyDeleteThe video dings at each interrupt.
http://wonkette.com/437464/here-are-all-48-times-bill-oreilly-interrupted-president-obama-sunday#more-437464
I think it's fantastic. The more each every Paylin demonstrates that they are circus clowns, the more certain it is that they will be relegated to the tabloids where they belong. They are gaining more and more disdain every time they are in the news.
ReplyDeleteThat is totally ignorant of Fox pretending that Bristol is a serious contender for any office. She didn't graduate high school, is not socially skilled and has no knowledge of anything except having sex and making babies while grifting for dollars by pretending she is a reborn virgin.
ReplyDeleteShe is just an uneducated 20 yr old that has been paid because of her Momma's connections thru Murdock and the Christian right.
Undoubtably, RAM is also helping Bristol grift for dollars in order to help herself to some more Palin money.

I AGREE!
Good onya, Murdoch! Ya sure do love ya some o' them Palin sheilas. I bet ya crack a fat every time you think about their mappa Tassie. But, ya gotta pay for your fun, mate. Trying to make 'em both US Presidents is the least ya can do with your heaps of moolah.
ReplyDelete"Just how stupid are the viewers of Fox News?"
ReplyDeletehttp://www.alternet.org/story/149193/study_confirms_that_fox_news_makes_you_stupid/
...apparently pretty stupid.
A high school dropout with an illegitimate kid for President. Yea, that'll work. Only in the minds of ignorant white trash.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone told her that you can't be President until you're 35? Pesky old constituion! Actually, I really don't care about Bristol or any of her family...I just want them to disappear from the public arena. Please?!
ReplyDelete"I hope people didn't have to pay money to hear her negativity and criticisms."
ReplyDeleteBristol on Kathy Griffen's digs at her being "White Precious."
LOL. Her mother makes a living at it, only it isn't an 'act,' it's making a lucrative career out of negatively and criticisms. Vile pigs, the Palin's.
Fox is punking sarah, bristol, and the palinbots.
ReplyDeletesarah and bristol are now peers, and bristol is now deemed to be just as qualified to be POTUS as sarah.
Ouch!
The elevation of the Palin women is because,unlike the left, there are no appealing high profile celebrity types on the right. They can't get enough of their one and only pretty celebrity family. They need her as much as she needs them.
ReplyDeleteThe grifter smells the money and she/they will say and do whatever it takes to keep the money flowing. Everything she does is to keep these people hooked. They will keep on supporting her because they see themselves (their views and beliefs) as the victim along side her.
Her supporters are used to the public scandals and failings of the evangelical types. They will continue to support their fallen leaders until the ugly truth can no longer be ignored. It will take something really big and hard to ignore to knock Palin off her evangelical Queen throne.
Unless she is knocked out before the 2012 election cycle begins, she will use her control over millions of evangelicals to force the leading repubs to give her a stake in the outcome.
Its really pathetic how many people there are who have not gotten hip to how Fox "News" is entirely put on.
ReplyDeleteEven when some of the purveyors of the TV version of the National Enquirer go on interviews and ADMIT they are simply pulling the legs of the ignorant American public, nothing changes.
Glenn Beck's newest book could be titled: You Are All Such Dumshits
--and it would not only be a best seller, but no one would believe he was coming clean...makes me wonder if anyone really READS his tripe, or if its the hillbilly equivalent of buying "Architectural Digest" just to place on your coffee table.
It is getting almost impossible to differentiate Fox News from The Onion.
ReplyDeleteI disagree. The Onion would never ask such a stupid question.
Margaret Cho is taking on Bristol again. She's going at it with the same info - that Bristol had an unfair advantage because of the baggers and that Scarah forced Bristol to do DWTS
ReplyDeleteCho appeared on the George Lopez Show on Tuesday. It was not a rerun.
http://theclicker.today.com/_news/2011/02/09/6017849-cho-bristol-palin-had-unfair-advantage-on-dancing
It actually would work for Bristol in that it would feed into the intelligence void of the baggers to keep her 'relevant' in the news.
ReplyDeleteIt would also make a great talking point that the family is devoid of original ideas as it's the same BS passed down from stunned & stupid mother to more stunned & stupider daughter!
Good news from The Daily Beast:
ReplyDeleteGlenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh are losing fans despite GOP gains. John Avlon on why listeners and station managers are sick of anti-Obama tirades—and who bucks the trend.

Gryphyn, if the media outlet does not end up using the lunch photos, would they let you have them!!??
ReplyDeleteKissing Bristol is considered 1st base in the trailer parks.
ReplyDeleteTouching her breast is 2nd base.
Touching her uhm hum is 3rd base.
Going all the way with Bristol is a Homerun or life in Hell with Sarah if you don't use a condom.
What is it called when the boys grope that thing located where her chin used to be?
Please tell me it is April 1st.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a new low for FOX. How they have any viewers is beyond me. I think this is one of the reasons they are the least believed news.
What the hell.
ReplyDeleteBristol comes from the same clown car as the rest of them.
Rupert Murdoch's ass.
Gretawire has a post up about poor little Sarah and all of her threats. Funny we never heard so much about Palin threats until AZ. It's CYA for Greta & Palin.
ReplyDeleteThe Greta love is sickening.
to 6:45, I dont know what pull Murdoch has over publishing companies but I also didnt know William Morrow is under HarperCollins.
ReplyDeleteMurdoch, the owner of Fox is also publishing Brisket's book- as he did her mother's- and is just hyping her on his cable outlet. One hand washes the other.
Just how stupid are FOX Viewers?
ReplyDeleteApparently, VERY stupid.
And so is Brisket if she thinks that she may run for the office of POTUS some day down the road. THAT road is the same as that Bridge to Nowhere.
i made some photo comparisons showing that bristol has most likely had a small chin implant with some under chin lipo and certaily had veneers or some other form of "new teeth".
ReplyDeletei also made one showing just how much she used to look like grandpa chuck, she obviously got "tiny chin" from him and it skipped her mom.
i've put them online:
chin view one
chin veiw two
with grandpa chuck
i watch it al...
ReplyDelete(what? Oh...capitalize the "I"? OK)
I watch It all the tIme.
I'm just waItIng to see the fox. Pretty red fox, too, I hope.
I dunno...
when Is the lIttle red fox goIng to be back on?
I'll even watch the son, If I have to.

8:39 AM"
Goitering?
LOL! I have nothing brilliant to add to the comments. I just want to say it's nice to come here and feel like the whole world hasn't gone Right-Wing crazy. I wish there was some way Gryphen had a "like" feature so I could show some appreciation for the really clever comments here.
ReplyDeleteOh, and 8:39---a special thanks because that was freakin' hilarious!!!!
Who would win a Tea Party primary? Sarah or Bristol?
ReplyDeleteIf the voting could be rigged, the palinbots would make sure Bristol wins. After all, Bristol's got professional dancing experience whereas Sarah's just a lousy quitter who's aging away....
But momma would be angry and we all know what momma's like when she's angry.
It might be save to say that Sarah and Bristol inspired that Darth Vader superbowl Commercial where little Darth thinks he started the car. Exact same scenario as Sarah running for president and Bristol being asked about running for office.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so let me see if I've got this right:
ReplyDeleteA 20-year-old uneducated hick with no political experience can run for president and that's okay.
BUT, a man with a solid education, constitutional law experience, former state senator, former US Senator is not qualified for the office to which he was lawfully elected.
Well, okay, then. Glad I got that clarified.
My day has been made!!
ReplyDeleteGabby Gifford spoke!!!
Confirmed by her Chief of Staff!!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41492254/ns/us_news/
Bristol is a monumental joke, as is her mother.
ReplyDeleteBy age 35 ( the age needed to run for president) Brisket will have 12 known kids and a few others that she has already thrown away and at least 10 baby daddies.
ReplyDeleteShe won't even be eligible until the 2028 Presidential elections (age 35 minimum). She might have enough kids by then that they can fill her Cabinet!
ReplyDeleteCashing in on the cow.
ReplyDeleteShe learned the routine from mama - both are just delusional trailer trash.
Does this chin make my face look thinner?
ReplyDeleteNO !
Anon @ 7:00 am "Hey, Gryph. Do the math and figure out at what point President Obama has been in office longer than Palin was Governor of Alaska. When that day comes, we need to celebrate it"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great suggestion !! Yes, we need to celebrate President Obama's tenure in office at that point.
Seems like a separate day of ridiculing Palin would also be appropriate, for her lack of fortitude and shallow respect for the Oath of Office when she was the GINO.
Speaking of Bristle, what in the world did she do to her face !?! The results are a sad caricature of a cartoon of mis-matched facial proportions. Did Picasso have a hand in this?
Bristle could certainly be the president - president of:
1.) The Association for Botched Facial Tweeks
2.) The "That Sucks" Literary Guild
3.) The Big "Middle Finger" Charm School
She'll be running for local office just like her momma, in Maricopa. Just needs 6 months residency or something?
ReplyDeleteAnd Arizona plates.
Another "before" chin pic: http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/gallery/bristol-photo/
ReplyDeleteSimilar angle to the E online video.
Sarah's Mini-Me as US President? Well, Sarah made it to the VP candidate level without any skills...so, why the hell not, Bristol? Go for it. You're even less educated than your Mom which ought to endear you to your base even more. And popping out a dozen more illegitimate kids would cinch your candidacy. You could even run for President on the exact same platform that Levi's planning for his run at Mayor of Wasilla.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Of course if Leno Chin actually managed to get elected, armageddon outta here fast. Canada's looking pretty welcoming.
luna1580 @ 9:23 AM: Nice comparisons. Bri$dul had a beautiful profile at RNC convention. She should have left the chin alone, by golly. Who advises this child? Her mother?
ReplyDeleteShe now is much less attractive.
Wow .. luna1580, those photos are just wow. I have seen those pics before, of course, but now to compare them to the new Bristol face. Is the nose different too? This is surreal; are we sure that it IS Bristol? And we are wondering why a 20 year old would have plastic surgery; she was a pretty girl. Has anybody wondered if the surgery was elective? Just asking.
ReplyDeleteBristle for president of ASNEM.
ReplyDeleteBristle sucks and rumor is that she sucks.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me certain that I could even pull a shit out of my toilet, put it on the ballot, and it would find a faithful following somewhere.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least we know, should Bristol Palin ever run for elected office, her mother won't have any issues with opponents targeting Bristol with crosshairs on maps, encouraging the public to consider "Second Amendment remedies" should they disagree with Bristol's views, and insinuating that she's an un-American Marxist Socialist Facist Tlingit usurper who wants to destroy America and take away your freedom.
ReplyDeleteSo, there is that.
This really got me chuckling! Sarah is a rocket scientist compared to Bristol. The IQ is probably pretty similar, but unfortunately for Bristol she did not inherit that supersized ability to "connect" with people that Sarah has.
ReplyDeleteShe's gonna have to face it, she's like Sarah, but without the all important charisma.
it's EZ to see that this HS drop out would make a wonderful president, just like her mom would.
ReplyDeleteThey could set up the white house as the newest massage parlor - the girls could work for $$ instead of giving it away. They may even get to keep their baggage. Go4It!
Guess Bristol loves being humiliated and joked about as she tries to put her ass out there in every news article or magazine.
ReplyDeleteThat Republicans are not embarrassed at even the idea of running Bristol Palin for president speaks volumes. They are the biggest joke of a party one can conceive of.
ReplyDeleteIf the election resulted in a tie between Bristol and her Democratic opponent, would there be a dance-off? Would Sarah be allowed to be one of the judges?
ReplyDeleteCheck out the photos of Bristol on her E interview and Reagan lunch, she definitely looks pregnant on the E interview picture and her upper arms are huge - - -
ReplyDeletego to Mediainsider website for the pictures and links.
Very, very interesting. Bristol double???????
I totally understand why Bristle said she may run for office . Look at her role models . Look at her side. Bristle methinks , believes that if you are an elected official you can just say Stuff, any stuff . But mostly stuff about someone, anyone for that matter and whatnot . You get to be on shows and speak about stuff any stuff , you can even make up stuff and ,and get money . You get to travel and stuff and someone takes care of your children . You can also give people that don't like you the middle finger ,it's ok . You can twitter all day and have your facebook for friends .And you can do speaking and you can have someone write a book for you."I don't understand why everyone doesn't doesn't everyone run for office." it's fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why she shouldn't be president: she'd be another in that long line of successful & popular presidents with only a high school diploma....
ReplyDeleteActually I think it's easy to tell the difference between Fox and The Onion.
ReplyDeleteThe Onion is entertaining and Fox isn't. The Onion is also more factual than Fox and that's the scary part.
Why does Fox News report every time Bristol moos?

2:00 PM"
She isn't just uneducated, she is dumb. You
can't fix a bimbo. SP & BP make W and
Dan Quayle look like freaking Rhodes scholars.
I agree Bristol had a beautiful profile before. Maybe the Palin's were in denial she also gained weight in her face electing lipo and an implant. I thought she was pretty and had a lovely smile.
ReplyDeletewow! "the chin" is even more apparent from the front!
ReplyDeletehigh school vs. now
RNC vs. now
looking at it from this angle i wonder if it's merely lipo and an implant or if she actually had her jaw shaved down on the sides like heidi montag did.
she really looks very different, and -oddly- younger in the video footage, like a different person.
20 year olds shouldn't be getting plastic surgery for anything other than a medical reconstruction of a burn, tumor removal, cuts from a car accident, etc!
how disgusting. another example of the "conservative christian family values" SP instilled in her children...HA!
luna1580 - Well done! In the RNC comparison, her face is bigger in scale to the others and I'm not sure her chin is actually longer. It looks to me more like she got rid of the double chins and could still be swollen or had other sculpting work. Her lips definitely look fuller.
ReplyDeleteIs Bristol the white Michael Jackson?
ReplyDeleteDid Michael start changing his face at 20?
Add DNA proof to the birth certificate requirement for Presidential candidates.

FOX News wouldn't touch the Todd Palin hooker story with a ten foot pole, but here they are purveying this nonsense.....
ReplyDelete"Palin/Palin 2012"!
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahaha......
hey curiouser, thanks!
ReplyDeletethe RCN scale is actually incredibly close, all though the pic at the left is a smidge tinier and a smidge of a different original face angle.
i know because i just rechecked and you can do. go to the image and enlarge it on screen or download and then do so (whatever is best for your software systems abilities). if you have a clear plastic ruler w/mm marks it will be easiest, but get some kind of ruler -or alternately a piece of plain paper and a pen.
use the ruler to measure as best you can the difference between her pupils and also the total outer left edge to outer right edge of her eyes. (or lay your paper right on the screen with the edge through the center of the eyes and makes dots that correspond for the distance on each face).
the distance between the pupils is something no surgery can change, the inner/outer eye "corners" can be obscured with makeup and false eye lashes, but B doesn't really seem to have done that here, so it's worth measuring those distances too.
i tried to make the scale match by overlaying the images to compare the eyes and such while resizing, but i guess lefty is a little bit off. i promise the other scales are very similar -the changed chin and jaw just makes her face look bigger!
