Hugh Hefner on Sarah Palin


Hugh Hefner is a little late to the game. The question of Sarah Palin’s qualifications to be Vice-President isn’t even a moot point anymore, it’s a dead point, shot from the helicopter of the American voters. But since his webisodes are called Ask Hef Anything, when the question was asked if Hefner thinks Palin is qualified to be the VP of the US, it was a late but unadulterated “no”.

Ask Hef Anything…

As an advocate of teen abstinence, is Sarah Palin a hypocrite because of her daughter’s pregnancy? Is she fit to be VP?

Hef: I wouldn’t call her a hypocrite. I think that, you know, it isn’t.. she’s not the one who got pregnant. Her daughter is her own person. I just think that Sarah and a lot of other people are misguided in terms of some very serious issues, that’s all. I don’t think she’s in any manner, shape or form suited to be Vice President of the United States. And particularly not suited to be the vice president of a president who is in his 70s. And, you know, a heartbeat away from the Presidency. No, she’s clearly not qualified.

I’m not completely convinced Hef thinks the Alaska Governor is qualified for the pages of his magazine, either. Word had been going around that Hef wanted to extend an offer to the former VP candidate to pose for Playboy. But when asked if it was true, his reaction is the same as mine at the thought of the 44-year old, fundamentalist Christian tossing off her consignment store clothes: a loud belly laugh.

Is it true you want Sarah Palin to pose for Playboy?

Hef: HA HA HA HA! The press and media are continually, you know, in the middle of other interview questions saying ‘Would you like so-and-so to pose?’ and what’s the answer to that, you know? If they’re a celebrity of any kind, the answer is ‘Noo, I wouldn’t want Sarah Palin (laugh). Of course!’ And then that winds up being thought of as actual news and of course it’s not news at all. Silly stuff.

Hugh Hefner has time to spend pontificating on subjects that have no chance of reality, which is really the basis for his Ask Hef Anything Playboy.com spots. He has the unique perspective of a millionaire octogenarian who still has all the women he wants at his beck and call. He’s interesting to listen to at least. The rantings of a crazy old guys often are.

    “Hugh Hefner on Sarah Palin”

    Eeeewww, what a disgusting image that brought to mind.

    Palins skinny legs wrapped around that lecherous, slobbering old mans waist, her glasses all steamed up 😡

    EEEWWWW!!!!

    Thanks, xiao – my sausage biscuit isn’t as appealing as it was before I read that. 😆

    …and all thoughts of adorable children and cute Grandparents are shoved violently from my mind…

    He may be old and grubby but this proves he’s not senile.

  6. vdantev says:

    Xiao beat me to it 🙁 . He’s an old geezer, give him a break if he’s late for the ‘kick’er while she’s down’ party.

  7. Aspen says:

    “skinny legs?”

    Whatever else anyone says about that woman, she has smokin’ legs. They’re not skinny at all…they’re freaking gorgeous.

    More hating on Sarah Palin? Why don’t you guys get a life and give it a rest? Aren’t you happy that Lord Obama won? I see warm weather, low gas prices, a booming economy and a ever rising stock market in response to his historic win. Oh wait, one out of 4 isn’t so bad is it? I predict that we will look back on the terms of G.W. Bush as the “good old days.”
    Have a nice day and keep your hate to yourselves.

  9. catwoman says:

    The irony is utterly overwhelming – a dried up, senile, excuse for a human being in the form of this glorified chauvinistic flesh peddler/pimp commenting on the qualifications of an accomplished U.S. governor.
    Boy, we come a long way baby, haven’t we?

  10. vdantev says:

    Yep, the GOP is still full of crybabies. Thanks for the affirmation, Mr. T.

  11. xiaoecho says:

    Mr T……You’re making a moose of yourself

    Hugh’s own words say it all;
    “That winds up being thought of as actual news and of course it’s not news at all, silly stuff…..”

  13. kate says:

    did it occur to anyone that this was most likely shot before the election? duh.

  14. Antony says:

    When I was younger, I use to think he was the luckiest guy on earth. Now he’s just a pathetic, sad old man…no matter how unqualified Palin is.

    19-year-old twins, Hef? Really? Incest is the game now?

    Jackass.

  15. devilgirl says:

    He is pathetic and senile. My comment has nothing to do with what he said about Palin. I simply think he is a pathetic old man who needs to accept the fact that his time as an innovater and icon has come and gone. Playboy is down on it’s knees and ready to fold, the mansion is an old, passe dump and he is a shriveled prune who is nothing more than a nursing home patient paying for the company of the women around him. With that said, I do read Playboy, it really does have great articles

    Please, Mr. T, tell us ONE SINGLE thing that W has done to improve our lives here in the U.S. One. (and only having one giant terrorist attack during his tenure does not count). If we look back on this level of theft, corruption, duplicity, torture, folly, needless death, constitution scrapping as “good old days” you’re 10 times the nihilist I thought I was.

  17. JMC says:

    ahahaha I can’t believe people still defend GW! Are you effing blind?!?! And then to act like Obama should have fixed his mistakes by now–he hasn’t even taken office yet! STOP listening to Rush mmmkay Mr. T?

  18. Kylie says:

    Mr T – hahahahahahahahahaah
    that is the best joke I have heard in ages. Oh. My side are hurting..
    George Bush and the good ole days.
    Thats gold mate – just pure gold.
