Toby Keith joins LL Cool J in shock at being used for Palin’s Fox News show.

Toby Keith Fox News has been promoting Sarah Palin’s first episode of “Real American Stories,” set to air on Thursday, with “In Their Own Words” segments featuring celebrities talking about their lives. Last night on Twitter, rapper LL Cool J objected to being included in the show, saying that Fox was “misrepresenting” one of his interviews from 2008 (which was not conducted by Palin). LL Cool J’s spokesperson said that the interview “was being repurposed without LL’s permission.” Fox ended up cutting LL Cool J’s interview out of Palin’s show. Now, country singer Toby Keith, another person featured in the “In Their Own Words” segments, is also upset at being caught off guard:

In a telephone interview on Wednesday, Elaine Schock, a publicist for Mr. Keith said: “I have no idea what interview they are using. Toby’s talked to Fox a number of times, and I had no idea that this was going to be on Sarah Palin’s special. Fox has never contacted me — not now, not when they were putting this together, not at all. I have no idea what they’re using.” [...]

In a subsequent email message, Ms. Schock said that the interview with Mr. Keith likely happened in early 2009. Asked if Mr. Keith was ever interviewed by Ms. Palin, Ms. Schock said, “Absolutely not.”

A Fox News executive is claiming that the network e-mailed Schock on Monday “to report our show is finally going to air,” but Schock says she never received the message. “The last email I have from them is from January, 2009,” she said, adding, “I’m not saying Fox did not email me. Maybe they spelled my name wrong. I’m just saying I never got an email or a phone call from them.”

    Everyone’s a prop, including little Trigg, in the Sarah Palin carnival of carnivals.

    Everything is about Sarah, and everything revolves around Sarah.

    Perhaps the Death Panel Dumbinatrix can finally reveal the answers to these questions:

    Who is Trigg’s real mommie?

    Who is Trigg’s real daddie?

    Gosh, being a birther can be so much fun.


  2. ElBruce says:

    I wonder just how much of her “show” is made up from old B-roll footage that FOX had laying around…


  3. evangenital says:

    Christ almighty, is that woman dumb, or what?


  4. missmolly, brought to you by Diet Pepsi says:

    If there was any doubt that everything about Sarah Palin is artificial, this should put it to rest.

    I’m sure Palin’s pageant past taught her plenty about the value of illusion, but she has managed to parlay illusion into some surprising ventures.

    I didn’t know anything about Palin until the announcement that McCain picked her for his running mate. And then I saw the illusion parade — the coaching, the reading of speeches written for her, the winking, the “you betchas”, the new wardrobe, the general obvious overhandling by the GOP.

    And now she’s being “handled” by Fox. In a way that’s just as artificial as everything else about her. You know that when Toby Keith won’t participate in something for the right wing, it’s really got to stink.

    Sarah is nothing but a fraud. They know she isn’t capable of pulling this off. So, they pulled some bullsh*t to appeal to younger viewers and it fell flat. Sarah falls on her face, yet again. Like we are suprised….

    Will Sarah finish out her contract with Al-Foxzeera?

    She seems to have commitment issues.


  11. Gary Herstein says:

    Faux, where “news” is equivalent to “cut and paste”.


  12. shades says:

    Why didn’t Fox just set up some Palin-friendly interviewees? Were they afraid she’s screw them up, ala Katie Couric? Maybe they figured the best way for her to “host” her show was to keep her as far away from the person being showcased as possible.



  13. P.D. says:

    Fred@7, LOL! you’re right. The Dixie Chicks were ridiculed and black-listed. NOW Toby is pissed at Sarah? This isn’t good news for the ‘Queen of Baggers’ is it?

While people who are not capable of thinking won’t suddenly become capable of thinking because of this — yet another — pathetic episode in the Palin travesty.

    As soon as the ex-Gov attempts to advance beyond monosyllabic grunts, everything that comes out just sets the bar for “really stupid” a couple notches lower.

    Although she didn’t ask me, I could have told her that there was a snowball’s chance in h3ll that LL Cool J would have agreed to appear on her show or allowed a tape of a past interview he was in be used on her show. Among most of us sane African Americans, there is a pathological disgust for all things Palin. We don’t want to hear anything she has to say, we can’t stand the sight of her, we know she’s petty, stupid, and vindictive, and we’re not alone. There are millions of other Americans who feel the same way.

    She should have invited Michael Steele. He’d have shown up with bells on and kissed her azz for inviting him. Many of us feel the same way about Steele as we do about Palin.

    Why is anyone so surprised? It IS FOX after all.

    And besides that, GOP have constantly used musician’s music in their campaigns without permission for years until the musician sends them a cease and desist lawsuit…

    Why should their re-engineered program to feature teh Palin be any surprise at all?

  81. ElBruce says:

    To be fair, this show sounds like a great idea. I mean, now that FOX has bought her, they need to put her to work, and having her talk about politics isn’t going to do the trick. So a show just like this is right up her alley. It’s all about the “real America” that she won’t shut up about, all touchy-feely without even getting anywhere near any kind of policy discussion. Honestly, from the description it’s even not that far from the sort of thing Bill Moyers has done! Plus, she actually might be good at it. It actually might have been a good show.

    The problem is, some producer got lazy, and it bit her in the ass. It’s not like even she couldn’t have found a few celebrities to talk about their climb from rags to riches.

    But FAUX Noise operates pretty much like the Bush administration – it doesn’t matter how incompetent you are as long as you’re loyal to their dogma. I can’t even imagine how many six-fingered slack-jawed inbred semihumans they have behind the cameras at that place making decisions like this, programming the Chyron, etc. It’s a wonder they can even keep the cameras aimed in the general direction of their bobbleheads, or keep the lights on, much less launch a new program from original content.

    Oldest son got hooked on oxycontin as a teenager, got in a little trouble and joined the army
    Daughter #1 dropped out of school due to a teenage pregnancy
    Daughter #2 also a teenager, has just been reporting as being involved in a break in at a vacant house that was used as a place for heavy drinking and sex by a group of teenagers.

    Anyone notice a pattern here?

    And this is just her kids.
    I haven’t even got into the drama that the adults in her life have been involved in.

    She’s a trainwreck.

    That’s an insult to train wrecks.

    Evolution worked just fine until we climbed down from the trees. It seems that each stage in human evolution just exposes the need for a new revolution.

    I totally agree, Pete. As a woman of “a certain age,” it’s amazing to me that people seemingly can’t keep track of inconsistencies from day to day, or even minute to minute, these days. The opposition has even made “progress” a dirty word.

    Bush wiretapping program takes hit in Calif ruling
    By PAUL ELIAS
    Associated Press – Wed Mar 31

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100401/ap_on_re_us/us_warrantless_wiretaps

    SAN FRANCISCO – In a repudiation of the Bush administration’s now-defunct terrorist surveillance effort, a federal judge ruled Wednesday that government investigators illegally wiretapped the phone conversations of an Islamic charity and two American lawyers without a search warrant.

    U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker said the plaintiffs provided enough evidence to show “they were subjected to warrantless electronic surveillance” by the National Security Agency.

    The judge’s 45-page ruling focused narrowly on the case involving the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, touching vaguely on the larger question of the program’s legality.

    Nonetheless, Al-Haramain lawyer Jon Eisenberg said the ruling had larger implications.

    “By virtue of finding what the Bush administration did to our clients was illegal, he found that the Terrorist Surveillance Program was unlawful,” Eisenberg said.

    President Bush authorized the surveillance program shortly after 9/11, allowing NSA officials to bypass the courts and intercept electronic communications believed connected to al-Qaida.

    Generally, government investigators are required to obtain search warrants signed by judges to eavesdrop on domestic phone calls, e-mail traffic and other electronic communications.

    At issue Wednesday was a 2006 lawsuit filed by the Ashland, Ore., branch of the Saudi-based foundation and two American lawyers Wendell Belew and Asim Ghafoor.

    Belew and Ghafoor claimed their 2004 phone conversations with foundation official Soliman al-Buthi were wiretapped without warrants soon after the Treasury Department had declared the Oregon branch a supporter of terrorism. They argued that wiretaps installed without a judge’s authorization are illegal.

    It was the last active case pending before a trial judge challenging the wiretapping program that ended in 2007.

    Remember the dumbass Ashcroft and his song? I figured he and Toby would record together, since they both exploited the 9/11 attacks to boost their musical careers.
