Sarah Palin Jabs Fox News O’Reilly for Suggesting She Would Make 2016 Race a ‘Reality Show’



Fox News Hannity 1/27/2015. Palin Hits "Quasi-Conservative" FOX on FOX, Dings O'Reilly For Calling Potential Candidacy "Reality Show"
(Mediaite) If you tuned into Fox News earlier today, you may have noticed a brief Bill O’Reilly promo that mentioned Sarah Palin. O’Reilly teased 2016 talk on tonight’s Factor by bringing up Palin, Donald Trump, and Chris Christie to say all of that in a presidential race might turn the whole affair into a “reality show.”
(And yes, before you ask, Palin is currently still a contributor for Fox.)
During his show, O’Reilly only briefly mentioned Palin in passing, along with Trump, saying she’ll have a very uphill climb in putting together the kind of serious national organization the other candidates have.
Palin appeared on Fox just hours later, chatting with Sean Hannity about her 2016 ambitions. She spoke of conservative unity and admitted the right hasn’t been quite as united as it could be.

And that’s when Palin observed that this is a problem on Fox News, which she described as “a quasi––or assumed––conservative outlet.” She brought up O’Reilly chuckling at her and Trump making things a “reality show” and said he can yuk it up if he wants, but “this is war.”

Palin elaborated, “Hopefully the media, even the quasi-right side of the media, won’t be looking at this as some kind of reality show.”

Palin did not address whether her inclusion in the 2016 race specifically would make it a reality show.

but REAL justice would be served if Mr. Bomb-bomb Iran were strapped into a chilled concrete chair and made to listen to the lunatic rantings of this quitter governor. Her bingo-ball generated yammering makes one yearn to be water-boarded to escape the toture of having her handed a microphone! Had it not been for Johnny's dumb-headedness in bringing this delusional woodsy wombat to the world stage, she'd be anonymously torturing animals in the Alaskan wilderness - a wildlife sacrifice I could live with if it spared humanity from having this errant genetic branch shaken to dislodge its nuts!
WHY couldn't McCane chosen someone with intellect to fill out his ticket? I'm sure Louie Gohmert or Steve King or even Michele Bachmann would've been thrilled to have filled out the ticket. The results would've been the same either way, but we'd have been spared dumb dame Sarah!

quasi was first used in 1642 according to Webster.
How he knew that...?
