>Sarah Palin will address the controversial comments made by about her by MSNBC’s Martin Bashir for the first time on the November 24th edition of Fox News Sunday. Fox News’ Chris Wallace is also expected to interview Palin about the Affordable Care Act and her new book Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.After Palin made her own controversial remarks comparing America’s debt crisis to “slavery,” Bashir delivered a monologue on his MSNBC program in which he suggested that, in order to truly understand the horrors of slavery, someone should defecate into Palin’s mouth. Bashir later...

On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace went after Treasury Secretary Jack Lew over the investigation—or lack thereof, in Wallace’s estimation—of alleged targeting by the IRS of conservative 501(c)(4) groups. The IRS scandal—which had receded in recent weeks after an audit by the Inspector General revealed progressive groups were scrutinized in addition to conservative organizations, and produced no evidence linking the behavior to a political appointee—was revived this week when President Barack Obama’s invoked “phony scandals” in his speech in Galesburg, Illinois. Lew was directed by Obama to follow up on the Inspector General’s report

It was he and progressive Democrat Sen. Schumer that appeared today on "Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace" and seemed to tag-team on why the "immigration" (cough) bill should be supported. I wonder who ran faster to get in front of the lens/microphone? A vote for S. 744 or a vote to send this to conference will end any chance of Republicans winning the presidency in 2016, given that it does not have wide-spread Tea-Party, Conservative & Libertarian support, and does not have the support of Conservative/Libertarian-leaning Independents. 2012 all over again... And thus: They WILL be energized to primary...

On Fox News Sunday, Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol cautioned against conflating the various Obama scandals with the new revelations of NSA surveillance. "Conservatives and Republicans are making a huge mistake," Kristol predicted.

While former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain’s poll numbers have been sky-high in recent weeks, the honeymoon may soon be over for him, says Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume. “The abortion blunder was inexplicable,” Hume continued. “It doesn’t walk it back when you say it ought to be the person’s choice but it is also illegal. I’m sorry — that doesn’t help. I suspect Herman Cain may have peaked and may begin to decline.”

Is Chris Wallace's latest Fox News Sunday stunt the meat in a controversy sandwich that he's building? See Wallace ask Michele Bachmann if she is a "flake" in a video embedded at the original post here, or at YouTube. Well is she? Did Wallace miss her debate performance in New Hampshire? Unless she's his lab rat for some psychology thesis, what purpose does the question serve? She's not going to say yes. While Wallace did apologize, what makes Michele Bachmann the lucky recipient of such a question when the left itself is a bunch of flakes... Here's a snowflake...

On his program Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked his guest, presidential candidate Michele Bachmann if she was a flake. Bachmann seemed perturbed by the question, and rightly so, and then proceeded to answer the question with coherence, grace and dignity. She responded by saying "well, I think that would be insulting, to say something like that, because I'm a serious person". Bachmann pointed out that she has been married 33 years, is a lawyer, has a post-doctorate degree in federal tax law, worked in the U.S. federal tax court, has five children, raised 23 foster children and opened...

One might expect to hear the term flake bandied about in a private conservation when talking about another person not present, but it is not a term that often comes up on Sunday morning public affairs talk shows — especially so directly. However, on “Fox News Sunday,” it was a description moderator Chris Wallace asked 2012 Republican presidential candidate Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who Wallace said has a reputation in Washington of making “questionable statements,” to respond to. “Finally, let’s talk about Michele Bachmann because — and you say — it’s interesting,” Wallace said. “You say that people saw in...

FOX News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked conservative presidential candidate Michele Bachmann today, “Are you a flake?… “ Really, Chris? So pointing out that there are anti-American members of Congress proves you’re a flake? Wallace owes Michele Bachmann an apology. Just wondering… When was the last time a reporter asked Barack Obama if he was a flake for trying to spend his way out of a recession?

The following is a rush transcript of the June 5, 2011 edition of "Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace." CHRIS WALLACE, ANCHOR: I'm Chris Wallace. The economy struggles and nation's recovery is in jeopardy. And, Governor, welcome back to "Fox News Sunday." FORMER GOV. SARAH PALIN, R-ALASKA: Thank you so much, Chris. WALLACE: Let's start with the economy and bad news on Friday -- just 54,000 jobs were added in May, the lowest number in eight months. Unemployment rose to 9.1 percent. When you add that to poor numbers on growth, on housing, on manufacturing, where are we in...

As more pundits react to Sarah Palin’s video response on the Arizona shooting, Fox’s Brit Hume professed he’s never in his life seen someone receive such vicious media coverage as Palin and attempted to broadly define the “Sarah Palin Problem” on Fox News Sunday. Before Hume summed Palin up, Fox commentator Juan Williams shared his bewilderment over Palin’s tone and word choice in the video, and thought the whole thing was “unnecessary.” This “just gave her opponents such an opportunity then to excoriate her . . . and did not raise her stature,” Williams concluded. Brit Hume offered up his...

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is set to appear in the first segment of this week's "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. As we reported earlier this week, new White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer has said, "We don't feel an obligation to treat [Fox News] like we would treat a CNN or an ABC or an NBC or a traditional news organization. But there are times when it would make sense to communicate with them and appear on the network."

Here is video of the "Fox News Sunday" panel discussing the decision to try the 9/11 terrorists in NY. Bill Kristol said that the trial will be "a disgusting circus" and that "were going to have another O.J. Simpson trial in New York." Juan Williams said the trial will be "a restatement of American values" and called 9/11 a "crime." Liz Cheney responded saying "it is completely inappropriate and dangerous to keep calling it a crime, it wasn't a crime, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is not a criminal, he is an enemy combatant of the United States, this was a terrorist...

Here is video of the "Fox News Sunday" panel discussing the Ft. Hood shooting and whether Islam had anything to do with it. Brit Hume said "this is an act of terrorism" and "this guy for all outward signs is an Islamist therefore you get pretty quickly Islamist terrorism." Kirsten Powers said "It would be wrong to say because the person is Muslim that that necessarily leads to this." Powers went on to say "I feel like a lot of people are trying to tie this to, like, being Muslim leads to this." (Video)
