***UPDATE: MYSTERY ‘ZEALOT’ WORD SOLVED***

Sarah Palin did a short segment on Fox where she weighed in on the speeches she heard tonight, primarily those of Ann Romney and Chris Christie:

UPDATE: For those of you following the mystery word at 1:34 that sounded like ‘zealot’, the mystery has been solved. Apparently the word was ‘salad’ and came from Brit Hume:

I see a few Palin fans on twitter think he’s lying. But when I listen to it I can easily hear ‘salad’ now that it I know it’s a possibility. Besides that, I would not impugn Hume’s character and suggest he’s lying because I dont’ know him to be anything other than honest and upstanding.

Hume is just another RINO who likes to insult Sarah Palin. He's demonstrated that many times before. I think her lawyer should have a serious conversation with Fox News management about the contract she's under...

FOX just cancelled Palin's apearance tonight, something's up.

Check out Palin's response on her Facebook page.

The mystery continues....

And the hysteria continues. He could have used the word salad for a number of reasons. Even if he did use the word zealot, did he say "Gov. Palin is a zealot?' NO.

I don't see the reason for palin supporters to get mad over this

what are we? Zealots?

I think wodiej is from Romney Central, he seems to be posting all over the web apologizing for FOX and Romney.

Did you check out Sarah Palin's post regarding her being cancelled on FOX tonight?

I wanted to post it here, but for some reason I can't.

I don't know why anyone would apologize for FOX, even if it has a few professionals. I don't like that channel much, most of them are Rove-Romney Republicans + Obama bots, and it's only somewhat good that it allows Sarah a megaphone....

SP ... I was being tongue in cheek, about not wanting to come off what Hume may have called Sarah.

Personally, I think Salad is insulting too ;)

(half joking cuz I know there's a meme that follows Sarah where they throw this insult called "word salad" to make fun of the way she elaborates)

BS! Sure, Britt, the word was "salad" ....because you and that uppity snot Peggy Noonan were probably snarking about Sarah Palin by accusing her of making "word salad"...which is hilarious after hearing Mizz Noonan ramble on and stumble through her "analysis" just prior to Palin's appearance, in which she made a complete ass of herself and was corrected by Megyn Kelly. Piss off.

SALAD??? That's just crazy talk......................

you have a right to accept it - but give me a break - did he order a salad did you see him eating a salad right after her interview - what time did she speak - was it dinner time - give me some context - right now - again Give Me A Break

Remember, he is the one that said that Gov Palin was not speaking because she was out of politics - so that is why Huckabee, Rice, and Jed Bush were speaking - but yes he said Salad but forgot to add his dressing - I don't accept his explanation

So after the exact moment Palin slightly dissed Fox News favorite fat man, a mike picked up only one word in a conversation from somebody who doesn't like Palin and it was a word that just happened to sound like zealot? Why wasn't the word cheese burger? Or Pepsi? Or salmon? Instead it was salad said in a odd way at the perfect time. Hmmmm.

Hume talked to shep , saying something about "tossing salad" , plausible.

It was "Word Salad" or "tossing salad" which is a common derrogatory reference to Sarah's style of commentary. Google "Palin Word Salad" you will see thousands of refs.

Of course he said Salad. Sarah was serving up a fresh crisp Word Salad.

She can't give a straight up answer to save her life. Certainly nothing with any depth to it. She's in over her head as a pundit and fakes her way through these interviews.

So it was Humus who felt it necessary to come up with a quip during comments from the woman he claims is "out of political life". What did he say? I think we can agree, it wasn't, "terrific"!

hmmm..why would he say salad anyway? Didn't the Kraut say in the past that salad' is a term Psychiatrists use for seriously messed up people? I hope that is not the case, but Hume has been proven not to be the upstanding man I thought he was after the way he acted this primary season. I choose to believe what Nuke came up with...sell it...that I can live with!

Reckoner_3

some palin critics / (usually deranged Obama lefties) like to throw around "word salad" as a slight against her speaking mannerisms..

(why would the mic pick up what he's ordering?? )

It probably is innocuous if Hume is sincere.

But it's not unreasonable to also be suspicious/annoyed because it's not the first time a hot mic picked up condescending people belittling Palin , for no reason other than they thought they were off camera.

Maybe someone should mention "head-cheese" the next time Hume is speaking.

Of coarse he was nibblesyble-- however it was "the dressing" Brit was ordering with that salad that everyone is hearing or heard!

Never tried "Zealot dressing" have you?

Gees, I could have sworn I heard Brit Hume saying "zealot" in the background... my bad!How could I possibly think such a thing with these beltway type's' the all knowing and so gracious with their talking point's. Surely, I must be mistaken.

I just want this "phony, lac-luster of a Convention" and this "couldn't get here fast enough" election to be....................> over with!!!

Sarah will alway's have my utmost respect, never will I stop my support for her. I loathe how much this woman and her family has been vilified. Someday Mr. Rove will meet-up with "Ms. Slap" from the back of my hand.

The RNC is dying a slow death, and Sarah doesn't need to be associated with these narcissistic fool's. Up with the Tea Party, and Onward to forming a third party, we have much work to do. In the meantime, I'll just pretend to be amused by this circus of thug's, liar's, sell-outs, Primadonnas and kiss @$$'s.

and yeah, you too............. Britty boy-- zealot!

Actually, I thought that he was ordering "salad" behind the scene.

I don't buy the 'salad' meme. The inflection of the word is not what you would expect as a reply to "soup or salad?". I may be wrong, and I can give the benefit if the doubt to Hume, but I still stick with 'sell it', as I feel it fits better into what Palin was saying.

The more I listen to the video, the more now, I think it was Brit Hume!!!!!

He has NEVER been a fan of Governor Palin.

Hume loves Chris Christie.

I agree, it was Brit Hume. The "zealot" comment is now up on Drudge, and I hope this puts enough pressure on FOX so they come clean.

As to the supposed 'zealot' comment by possibly Brit Hume: seeing how it came when Palin was talking about Romney 'thinking big, having big solutions to the problems and not engaging in the pettiness', I suspect that the comment was made not knowing the mic was open and I believe he sarcastically said 'sell it' in his gravelly voice (perhaps meant to be under his breath) rather than 'zealot'. We all know Palin is no zealot for Mitt Romney, after all.

I love how she really gets to the meat of the issues. I can't wait to her opinion of Ryan's speech. How the media will compare the two?

And finally, Palin's response to Romney's. I think if you listen carefully to her, she will let you know what her future will hold?

It's really disappointing that a few within the RNC ranks could be so small-mided as to push Sarah to the side given all her efforts in support of so many deserving candidates.

I thought that was a very apropos statement within a Sarah Palin thread.

Gracious as always. Her interaction earlier with Levin was fantastic. They will no doubt be fighting after the election to either clean up the GOP or start a new party. Interesting: It sounded like Brit Hume saying 'zealot' just after Palin gave Christie the jab. It got a big grin from little Bret. Boy they hate her at Fox. Fun though because they need her for ratings. Go Gov.

Now tell me would not Sarah Palin and Ann Romney not make one heck of a team??? Talk about ladies with style, class, sass and intelligence. Now that is a winning ticket!! Sarah has the passion and zest that quite frankly I would like to see in some NEUTERED MEN!! She has a true love for America that shines everytime she talks and there is no one that has less fear in taking on the Establishment.

Again, Sarah you always inspire and make me proud to share the same ideals!!

Sarah and Ann...models of success, beckons of light, speakers of the truth and ladies with the courage to climb mountains!!

Both Sarah and Ann are beautiful....oh conservative ladies.....LOL!!
