Donny Deutsch to Palin: If you’re ever single again, call me
posted at 9:35 pm on August 3, 2009 by Allahpundit
Quite douchetastic, although I’m not sure why I feel that way. Is it because he’s directing this at a married woman and “I hope you get divorced” jokes simply aren’t that funny? Is it because he’s the guy who notoriously attributed her popularity to her sex appeal, which makes this feel less like flirtation than an attempt to belittle someone with whom he disagrees politically? Or is it because the dude just exudes A-hole for whatever reason?
Speaking of media flirtations, my very favorite liberal has some relevant thoughts:
I’m no fan of the former governor of Alaska, but as a life-long feminist I can’t ignore the endless stream of sexism directed at her.
Friday on MSNBC, guest host Donny Deutsch asked, “If Palin wasn’t hot, would we be talking about her?” His two female guests — one Republican and one Democrat — were united in their disagreement with this assertion.
But Deutsch was adamant: “The only reason we are so fascinated, the American public has never seen a woman that looks like this in power. That’s where the fascination starts.”
Where was this insightful analysis when the vapid JFK-wannabe John Edwards and his silky hair ended up as the Dems choice for VP in 2004? Or was everyone too dazzled by his completely undistinguished one term as a senator?
In reality, being a “hot” female politician is more likely to result in accusations that you’re a bimbo than public acceptance. If Palin didn’t have other qualities — like charisma and an ability to connect with the average American — she’d never have risen as far as she has.
What other Democrat would toss a gratuitous Silky Pony allusion into a piece on feminism? I ask you. Meanwhile, as if to prove her point, even John Conyers felt obliged to note how “attractive” Palin is while dumping on her in a speech recently. Watch the clip. Rarely has admiration for a woman’s beauty sounded so pejorative.

All Palin all the time in lib land; they just can’t help but be fascinated by her even if they won’t admit it.

Todd could take this pansy with one hand…hell Trig could take this one.

Donny Deutsch is SOOOOO HOOOOTTT any cougar would date him /sarc
Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 9:42 PM
What a class act. This is the same loser who sandbagged Michelle on his show a couple years ago, too, isn’t it?
Cylor on August 3, 2009 at 9:42 PM
He’s had a couple of wives already, and has tried to go after other married woman. I heard from somebody who knows him that he’s a real disappointment, if u get my drift.

No, she would be your average democrat.
Hog Wild on August 3, 2009 at 9:44 PM
that reuters pic of palin at the Powers article looks fishy. is it me or do her bangs look altered in some way? or am i high on crack?
sbvft contributor on August 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM
It helps to drown out all that buyer’s remorse we’re hearing.
No, Donny, Mikulski is available. That’s more your speed.

Are there any hot Dem politicians? Or do we have them all?
faraway on August 3, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Can someone explain to me what Donnie Deutsch has done? I mean, I hear he’s some marketing wizard, but I really can’t place anything with his name on it.
StevefromMKE on August 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Him and A. Sullivan both seem to have a thing for Palin. Maybe the two of them could meet some afternoon wearing unbuttoned pink shirts, weilding flowers, and go out for dinner. Then they could break out the oils and candles to some Olbermann.
V15J on August 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM
I know someone that would date him… Think Large, Not-in-Charge, and Blond.
Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Sorry Donny…. she’s out of your league… exponentially.
BPD on August 3, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Knowing Sullivan’s past history, they’d probably just meet up for a five minute “session” at some truck stop.
Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Is it the tan? Is that what he think makes him “irresistible?”
Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 9:49 PM
I don’t even know who Donny Deutsch is but based on his insulting remarks, I hope he falls in love with Lorena Bobbitt. The trouble for Lorena is that in order to cut it off there has to some ‘there’ there.
MaiDee on August 3, 2009 at 9:50 PM
I didn’t know you knew Anderson Cooper.
Spirit of 1776 on August 3, 2009 at 9:50 PM
By the way, why would Sarah Palin date a homosexual?
BPD on August 3, 2009 at 9:50 PM
None on the national scene that I can think of. I think you’d probably have to look at statehouses or something to get something resembling Dem “hotness”.
ddrintn on August 3, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Thanks for the laugh! =)

With the Lefty`s having a field day,debauchering,besmirch
ing,insulting former Governor Sarah Palin,and that they are
really enjoying it,to top it off,its good to see that a ph
otoshopped picture has caught their attention!
Time to spin the tables around,and control the media,with
besmirchment of Hopey,then watch all the little roosting
chickens run around frantically screaming!!!!

Donny Douche, indeed.
Enoxo on August 3, 2009 at 9:52 PM
If I were Todd Palin, I’d have been sued out of existence by now. Sued for kicking Letterman’s bucked teeth down his throat, sued for knocking Andrew Sullivan on his ass and daring him to get up, sued for dotting Levi Johnson’s eyes, and finally for making sure Deutsch always had a place to sit because I’d have shoved his chair up his ass.
Something tells me that Zell Miller would be secretly cheering me on…

Just listening to him, makes me want to go get a penicillian shot in the bum. I feel violated.

I though Arlen was just radioactive.
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Why do I feel the need to go get a shot of penicillian after listening to him? Ugh…. my ears have been violated.
Anyone with two legs, breasts and walks upright may want to run, not walk away from this jerk.

How did Donny get Sarah confused with Joy Behar?
Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 9:57 PM
opps. damn the stupid word hold.
my bad.

Todd Palin,should invite Donny to go riding on a
ThunderCat in a blinding blizzard,or high-speed
runs across thin-ice,or mountian climbing near
avalanche warning areas!
And,yes I`m Kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!
canopfor on August 3, 2009 at 9:57 PM
No and No…Sarah Palin gets ratings and interest and he’s desperately trying to get noticed….simple as that IMHO…and I might add it got him on here…

Donny is the only guy that actually purchased Thundercrack.

This ass had plenty to say defending Letterman. She would not go near it with a ten million foot pole. Plus, the Palins are crazy about each other.

Ah… yes… must have been from the night before when Donny and Helen Thomas were taking Kool-Aid shots in the hot tub…
Sorry, BB. Didn’t mean to break the hard news to you.

Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Methinks this is the correct answer. Even the way he carries himself and the way he sits while he’s doing his show screams “i’m a douchebag”. Don’t believe me? Sit through a few minutes of his show sometime (if it’s still on the air?) and you’ll see what i mean.
clearbluesky on August 3, 2009 at 10:03 PM
The reason this clip is important, is that it demonstrates what a lot of liberals are like: hypocrites. They have one set of rules for themselves, impose a different set of rules for other people, and then don’t even treat conservatives as if we are people. We’re just objects to them. And in this case, Donny Deutsch feels perfectly fine treating Sarah Palin as just a sex object.
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Why does Donny remind me of Bob Saget on Spring Break – Cancun?

unwashed minion on August 3, 2009 at 10:06 PM
On the contrary, I think this is the new tactic for destroying the Palins. I’m pretty sure even Todd has a limit for these things, and eventually he’ll snap and beat someone’s ass.
Or, you know, Deutsch is just a creepy douchebag. It could be both.
Emily M. on August 3, 2009 at 10:07 PM
I’d pay to watch Todd beat someone’s ace.

Palin may not be a smart woman but she is hot. I had a dream about her during last years election but I will spare you the details :)

You’re right, I don’t want to hear it. Unless you dreamed that you were running across a frozen tundra and Palin was hunting you from a helicopter.

What are you talking about, that moron in the white house didn’t even know how many states we have…on the campaign trail he insisted he had already visited 57 states with a few more to go.
This idiot doesnt even know the history of tis nation.
This retard in chief thinks august 4 1961 is actually a date four years later during the march on selma alabama which got him born which is why he has street cred with the civil rights movement.
Do not dare criticiz the One. he is smart.

Do you douchebags at HA have to lower yourselves to this level? God, can’t you understand that we are not all cynical about Palin and the f**king future of our Republic? Why can’t you get it that some of us actually want our country to succeed? Send this real FUNNY clown that wrote this to another blog where they don’t really care what happens to America. Like DKOS.

WasatchMan on August 3, 2009 at 10:37 PM
hmmm… resistance against standards coming back to bite some liberals in the ass.
The libs spent years… decades against anything “traditional” and now that same nihilism rears its ugly head against the equality movement, which was the status quo for libs…
oh well, that’s what happens, especially when you court d-bags as your mascots against “the man” and the “military industrial fascist racist Christian jackboot imperialist hegemonic white male homophobic transgenderphobic power structure”
what’s not to love about these balanced indivduals?

Sorry if I offended anyone in my previous comment. I do not endorse violence of any kind toward women. I was merely writing metaphorically, as I also don’t believe KP’s brain could actually fit through her ear canal. It was harsh in retrospect, and for that I apoligize.
Rhinoboy on August 3, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Well, yeah, and to agree to disagree about Sarah Palin.
