Pressing Palin

" I do not know what the future holds I want to work -- Right now for people who are gonna work you know this -- out of office for the right they use those principles that built the America. Those who are inspired by the values of America and will not deride or apologize. The values that we hold as Americans I'm gonna work."

" For those it Sarah Palin giving a follow up interview this week after she announced her decision to resign as Alaska's governor her resignation sparked a fresh round of criticism from the mainstream media. Including his now infamous analysis from New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. Dowd wrote in her column last Sunday that with her announcement Palin had proven she's ready to be president because quote caribou Barbie is one nutty puppy. On Friday veteran White House reporter Carl Cannon from AOL's inside politics daily. Had this to say about coverage of Palin when she was running for vice president. He wrote in the 2080 election week meaning the press took sides straight and simple particularly with regard to the vice presidential candidate. I don't know that we played a decisive role in that campaign and I'm not saying the better side lost. What I am saying is that we simply didn't hold Joe Biden to the same standard as Sarah Palin. And for me the real loser in this sordid tale is my chosen profession. All right here's senior from Alaska originally before you transplanted to -- east coast does he have a point."

" What it was definitely a double standard between share count and Joe Biden and I'm an it's it's something that. I think. If you look at recently how out some of the things that that Joe Biden has said that has caused. The administration some problems that it would have been a valid thing to cover during during the campaign that he has a propensity towards gaffes in the -- was sort of laughed off and and not really taken seriously -- this answer -- that something that wasn't. Very smart or. -- it was front page news."

" And you've pointed out in the past -- that that female columnists like Maureen -- particularly. Tough on serve him well it's true in Sally -- just had a piece in the on faith column which I found a little spot it's in this bit of a misnomer and a column. Is all on Newsweek -- post dot com. Where she takes apart you know how she -- her water broken when she should've been home -- these children and that she exploited these children. I have to -- I don't think this is ideology I think it's sexism I mean I didn't see anybody saying the obamas can't you know that President Obama kept the kids up to -- I think people questioning. You know Michelle Obama's handbag and probably seeing her parenting skills it's a total -- stand."

" Canon makes the point that people were looking for a Hillary Clinton especially women were looking for for a Hillary Clinton. To break the glass ceiling and and Sarah Palin doesn't fit the bill."

" And they got Palin -- look I think that the reason that MSN hate her so much and I think that's the right word to use hate. Is because she -- CIA idea that somehow reporters as they are now. Represented sort of the ordinary the interest of the ordinary Americans. -- so different than them as an apology so different. That that pretension that even New York Times reporters have that they somehow speak for the people. Is proven false and that's why they --"

" But Andrea even in the Republican Party she's a polarizing figure you right to that -- you think made a smart move by. Giving up for her governorship I just don't think there's a downside to it whether she writes a book and becomes a millionaire -- runs for president and what's the worst case happened she loses that worked out pretty well for Hillary Clinton and Al Gore and the rest of -- look I think this is ideology and sexism there's a growing trend among the main stream media to attack particularly. Conservative with women. They would it'll never be allowed to call Hillary Clinton -- An -- now -- I'm not happy hell yeah. It's a class issue on a purely political front. I think the left is worried that Sarah Palin will bring the working. Classic Hillary was hit like that with actually it was actually this not this is classless it was made you order a side note they he would know having not even rallies and ugly. A good look let's start -- and Tucker Carlson and a lot of people -- him -- liberal he had talked about. How they had to cross your legs for -- being emasculated by Hillary Clinton that's because they're rooting for Obama -- how -- well. Yeah. They question decisions as a mother they go after her special needs child disagreement talent gets that we're just saying Hillary got it still haven't got it back on -- somehow -- I. But yeah I also think that she is tapping into class. You know and populism in this country I think she -- she could be crazy all the -- just me or hate her because they -- as a backwater governor with the -- and they they just. Refused to even think about the notion that she could govern them and that's fit to lead as the morning -- the upper east side Manhattan nights they look at her."

" And they just they're just discuss what about her tears and I mean you're from Alaska as we mentioned what about her out there in the fishing waders with the suspenders on I mean is that real Alaska or is that an artifice that -- I think she put up."

" I think it absolutely Israel -- and I think that they is Alaskan women to -- hunt and fish and you know my mother goes fishing it's a very common thing I mean there's nothing unusual about that -- people -- sort of making fun of that. And I do think there is -- sort of anti. Rural sentiment against her I think you know there's a misunderstanding a lot of the stuff that's reported from Alaska is just a basic misunderstanding of Alaskan politics."

" Well whatever she does is she going to get a fair shake from the media in the future well I -- now because I think editing and she's very beautiful. And I think that her looks are gonna constantly get commented on. And I think the -- have been no waiters I mean to be fair it is in there this is -- logic to say I quit I'm not a quitter. I quit because I'm not a quitter but I think she is gonna outsmart a lot of people even the Republican side and say she's that hot. Think she resigned I don't think that in this media age I don't think that's true all right it is time now for break but first lots of extras available to you on foxnews.com."
