Jeri Thompson blasted Fox News host Chris Wallace on the Fred Thompson show today, calling his joke that he hoped Sarah Palin would sit on his lap during an interview with him "inappropriate" and "insipid," and demanding "action from Fox.
Thompson, the wife of the former senator and presidential candidate, told POLITICO's Jonathan Martin that the remark, to Fox Business's Don Imus, amounted to misogyny, and that she was tired of seeing it from "these dirty old men" on Fox, a network that she said ought to be respectful of conservative women.
"Sarah Palin is now part of the Fox family," Thompson said on the show. "She deserves you all watching her back -- and I do not mean it literally."
Wallace, she said, "owes her an apology."
"Not only is she a national figure – she deserves the respect that any other man would get in that situation," Thompson said, saying that her inbox was full of complaints from conservative women over the segment, and that the Palin group Team Sarah, as well as the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List, were dismayed by the segment.
"I hope that Fox does something about this, and they actually take this on, because it is not funny," Thompson said.

She’s right.
What Wallace said is sexist at it’s very best, and he oughta be punished by being made to interview Gloria Steinem.
Yikes, where’s the door!
Hold them to an impossible standard...sounds almost...oh, I don't know...Alinsky-like. Seems like a good thing! All we're doing, after all, is pointing out they aren't measuring up to the standard they set for us, right?
Jeri Thompson reacts to stuff like this in a grim, humorless way, obviously due to her self-consciousness and anger over being perceived by many as a dizzy trophy wife, herself.

good grief
I hate seeing the hypersensitive reaction to this.
Grow up everybody!
Actually I think the lovely Jeri is being a bit strident over this.
Wallace was set up by Imus and played along.
Sarah is hot as hell which is a major plus in my book.
I doubt many MEN find her unattractive.
amazing how many folks here....some of whom are quite decent freepers took this bait and ran with it not knowing the context
including Ms Thompson is my bet
Hear Hear...and Wallace can be firm but he does not badger
when conservatives use words that were unheard of before the rise of political correctness in the 80s I wince and that word is a tool to thwart alpha males
if Fred could handle Lorrie Morgan then I reckon Jeri is a walk in the park but she's got a bit much of that northern I Am Woman/I Will Be Heard/I Demand It thing for my personal taste...even though ever lovely...hope me recognizing her beauty doesn't make me a woman hater in her eyes
this woman hater (me) forked over 700 for myself and my wife-slave to see Sarah talk for 45 minutes and would go to war for her if asked
Read the transcript...Wallace answered Imus
it wasn’t his joke...folks need to read how it went down
Are you a woman..just curious
xlent post..especially about Jeri doing a tad of projecting
he answered a joke...he did not make it
read the actual transcript for God’s sake...
Wallace should know better - he just lost a little cred with a lot of people. Too bad.
read the transcript..Sarah was hardly verbally assaulted..Wallace answered Imus’s question
actually I think the real sexism for ya’ll and Miss Jeri is thinking a pretty gal has a liability being pretty
i consider it an asset...a big one
i was raised by one and am married to one
they make the damned world go around truth be known...least my world
again for the umpteenth time read the transcript..not Wallace’s joke
But you can’t prove he didn;t either dear
