Joan Rivers: FOX Can 'Go F**k Themselves' Over Sarah Palin Controversy

By Rob Shuter Posted Jan 19th 2011 11:15PM

Joan Rivers says FOX News can "go f**k themselves" after canceling her Thursday appearance on the network's morning show for what she claims is retaliation for some biting comments she made about FOX contributor Sarah Palin.

Why so riled up, Joan? It all started when the loud-mouthed legend told TMZ over the weekend that critics were "right" to blame Sarah Palin for the tragedy in Tucson, Ariz. Reports surfaced on Wednesday that FOX heard the diss and nixed Joan and daughter Melissa's visit on 'FOX & Friends.'

"We get a call this morning," Melissa told me on the set of my HDNet show. "You're canceled on FOX because of what you said about Sarah Palin."

The top-rated news network denies that Joan's comments had anything to do with the cancellation, rather, the morning was simply overbooked.

But Joan tells me exclusively that she's willing to take a lie detector test to prove FOX canned her over her Palin comments, which also included calling the ex-governor "stupid and a threat" and blasting her use of the term "blood libel" in a video statement on Jan. 12.

The situation begs the question: Did Sarah herself call this one in to her FOX bosses in order to punish Joan? The comic certainly hopes the presidential contender has better things to do than listen to her. "If Sarah is listening to what we say, we're in trouble," Joan says.

Asked whether she'll accept an invitation to come back to 'FOX & Friends,' Joan went hardcore, saying they can "go f**k themselves."

Joan has another reason for being upset, namely that this brouhaha has led her to regret voting for Sarah's daughter Bristol on 'Dancing With the Stars.'

"I actually voted for her terrible daughter over David Hasselhoff," she says. "I should've voted for David; they both sucked as dancers."

Watch my interview with Joan and Melissa on Saturday night at 7PM on 'Naughty But Nice With Rob,' only on HDNet.

Both Joan Rivers and the partialy owned by Arabs newtork, Fox, can go away. If America had a immigration policy that had teeth, Keith Rupert Murdoch would have not been allowed in this country. America for Americans!

How can u blame Sarah Palin for the Arizona Shooting? How about adding Obama to the list as well as he said "if they bring knives then we'll bring guns". No one is to blame except for the physco shooter himself.

FOX NEWS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, and I liked Joan too. Now I will never watch her again.

how about Joans piehole?

I don't see Joan Rivers on the tv everyday spouting off her bs like I do Sarah Palin. Regardless of whose responsible for what, you cannot deny that Sarah Palin is a pot stirrer who spouts off the most ridiculous bs and does nothing to promote unity in this country. She is poison and I am saddened by the people who don't see her as that. Not to mention she just plain old dumb....She belongs in Alaska......

Joan Rivers a dried up old plastic face no talent. She is a female Howard Stern. No talent just foul mouthed. Her daughter has even less talent and still sucks off her mother.Who cares what she says about anyone? She is not creditable. Boy is she ugly. No guys in her or Mellisa's life. Do you think any real man could stand them? Not a real man.

Joan is a washed up, dried up, meaningless wanna be who has never learned to keep her pie hole shut.

By slowburn65

Fine with me if Rivers isn't on - I don't want to see that worthless old BI anyway

By KING ROBERT

Why are you censoring valid points??

By George

Sarah Palin is by far one of the most dangerous women of the century. No brain, not well educated, and yet has an army of ignorant and clueless followers. Joan Rivers doesn't need to be on the Fox Noise channel.

I agree with you 100%
