CBS’s Nancy Giles: Bristol Palin ‘Makes Me Ill,’ ‘Making Money & Leaving Her Baby at Home’
Appearing as a guest on Tuesday’s Joy Behar Show on HLN, liberal commentator Nancy Giles of CBS Sunday Morning declared that she was "tired" of Bristol Palin and asserted that "she makes me ill."
After host Behar brought up Palin during a discussion of the television show Dancing with the Stars, Giles sighed and responded: "Can I just, can my comment be rolling my eyes and heavy exhaling? I just am so tired of her. I’m tired of her getting these breaks. I’m tired of her making money and leaving her baby at home. I’m tired of her maybe getting 30 grand to speak about abstinence. Excuse me? I’m tired of her."
After Behar challenged Giles’s suggestion that Palin was neglecting her baby, the liberal commentator continued: "I know, Joy, I do believe that, but I’m so, she makes me ill, so all bets are off."
Giles eventually admitted to sounding sexist after actress Eve Plumb complained that men are never asked about whether they are neglecting their children, with the liberal commentator conceding: "I know it’s not fair. I sound like I’m sexist."
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Tuesday, October 19, Joy Behar Show on HLN:
JOY BEHAR: Nancy, what do you think about Bristol Palin on that show?
NANCY GILES, CBS SUNDAY MORNING: (SIGHS) Can I just, can my comment be rolling my eyes and heavy exhaling? I just am so tired of her. I’m tired of her getting these breaks. I’m tired of her making money and leaving her baby at home. I’m tired of her maybe getting 30 grand to speak about abstinence. Excuse me? I’m tired of her.
BEHAR: Why can’t she, you know, dance and leave the baby at home for a little while? Women have to be able to dance and go to work.
GILES: I know, Joy, I do believe that, but I’m so, she makes me ill, so-
BEHAR: I know, she just-
GILES: -all bets are off.
EVE PLUMB, FORMER CAST MEMBER OF THE BRADY BUNCH: Nobody ever worries about a man leaving the baby at home.
BEHAR: No, that’s true.
GILES: I know it’s not fair. I sound like I’m sexist.
BEHAR: They make such a big deal over this, and then they don’t do the right thing, which is annoying.

If this were a daughter of a Lib...
Submitted by gopcongress on Wed, 10/20/2010 - 12:33am.
If Sarah Palin were a commie lib, they would be OOOing and AHHHing over her daughter's performance, and her "choice to explore her independent side", etc. They would be holding Bristol as a role model for ALL girls her age, that no word would even be mentioned of her own daughter, etc.
(And yes, if that were the case, we would probably be denouncing her at that point. That is why I am a big proponent of family members of conservatives NOT becoming involved with the media unless they did something that merits such media attention on their own. Let me be clear: The ONLY reason Bristol is "Dancing with the Stars" is because of her status as Palin's daughter. That, in itself, should disqualify her from such a show, UNLESS she merits inclusion on the show on merit independent of her status as family member. I hope everyone understands that point.)

I agree with a lot of what you say, but not this:
The ONLY reason Bristol is "Dancing with the Stars" is because of her status as Palin's daughter.Celebrity status (however earned) and an idea that people might want to watch someone are the ONLY requirements for appearing on DWTS. Kate Gosselin was on because of her status as.........? Aside: and where was Nancy denouncing Gosselin for "neglecting' her EIGHT kids???? I guess if Bristol was already famous for a reality show about raising a baby without a dad, she would be famous in her own right? I've joked to my friend that next year, they'll probably have the Octo-Mom competing. You're giving the show way too much stature....it is exactly what it is., and is meant to be.

Tired of her leaving her baby at home???
She's a 21st "EMPOWERED" and "INDEPENDENT" woman! In that regard she's the poster child for liberal feminists everywhere! -- joining the ranks of women everywhere -- neglecting their children in favor of a life of corporate drudgery. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE??
So, she's out of the house, single and making money; THIS is the feminist's dream! Get your hands off her ovaries!

And Joy understands her, and sympathizes with her.

The amazing thing is that as far as I can tell Bristol has the son in LA with her. How is that different from a working mother? Is every working mother now also neglecting their children or is this a prerogative left to Bristol Palin?While Bristol DOES have Tripp with her in LA,

Bristol makes this woman sick for leaving her baby home, but she would be lauded as a darling of the left if she decided to have an abortion.

In the eyes of this woman, Bristol's baby would have been better off being murdered by a doctor before he was born. Somehow this would have made her more of a hero than going on national tv doing something she seems completely uncomfortable with to make money to suppport her son.
Why don't these women ever complain about the baby's father and his compulsion to be in front of a camera?

They can't go after the dad, he is doing the devil's work, i mean the media's work, I mean the left's work by going around bashing the Palin's and indulging and validating their fantasies about them, so they can put him on their shows and pretend he is the truth teller and all their hopes and dreams for the Palins are true.
The Palin Principle
Submitted by exLib on Wed, 10/20/2010 - 10:22am.
It's my new "Theory", not so new, I came up with it 6 months or so ago.
The Palin Principle is summed up by Giles in one sentence..
"With Palin, all bets are off.."
All liberal orthodoxy is now rendered void when discussing Palin.
Working mother good!!! Not so for Palin, she is a child neglector.
A mother of special needs baby calling out those who make fun of special needs kids. OK, for liberals, except Palin can't do it because she won't "call out Rush"
Here we have liberal's exposed:
Bristol refuses to glory in her unwed motherhood, she should be telling all girls that either it's awesome to have a baby without a dad (who needs 'em) or telling them in retrospect she should have had an abortion and is really being a bad example since most poor people can't afford to cart their kid around with them.
SP is bad because she too didn't make the right call and "save her baby needless suffering" by allowing "it" to be born. Had she aborted and been proud of it, she might have been held up as a great example.
Stil, is it not hyprocrisy when you go after someone for not living up to standard you yourself would never follow?
Liberals have not desire to be stay at home moms, usually ridiculing them. Yet they ridicule SP and BP for not being stay at home moms.
