Palin Signs Multi-Year Contract with Fox News

011110sarah_palin_makeup.jpg Over the weekend, John McCain’s top campaign strategist Steve Schmidt told 60 Minutes that during the campaign Sarah Palin repeatedly "said things... that were not accurate." So you betcha she's going to fit right in on Fox News, which has signed Palin to appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multiyear deal. She won't have her own regular program, but a source tells the Times that she will host a series that will run on Fox "from time to time." This is going to be fun! And, most importantly, it will enable Palin to "fight even harder" for the people of Alaska.

    If the Palins are coming to New York I am moving to Newark. However, her and Glenn Beck doing a show together would be the Special Olympics of news. Awesome.

  • NannyState

    Fox News just lost 1/3 of its collective IQ.

  • jibbly

    So their IQ is now 2?

  • NannyState

    2.5 if they can get Glenn Beck to sober up...

  • Steven

    No surprise here. Palin will be good at it too.

  • Mr Mel

    I have said it before, and this new situation will bear me out: she'll wind up in lower Manhattan living with Levi. Todd will remain with the children and stay in Wasilla. Sarah will visit on the holidays. She will also be responsible for breaking up Rush Limbaugh's marriage when his wife makes a pass at her and they run off for a weekend in Palm Springs.

  • longacre

    I don't know, I think William Shatner will play a role somehow.

  • Malcolm Tucker

    And then she'll tragically be smothered to death when Rush has a coronary atop her.

  • db

    Divorce in less than 6 months

  • irvinghowe

    just one more step toward a palin/beck ticket... can't wait for that.

  • spiritross

    That would be awesome



    Democrats could use a landslide win in 2012

  • irvinghowe

    they truly are the gift that keeps on giving. i just want fox mews to start doing a friday night fights kinda thing with all their "news" people. we need a new american past time and what better than a fight between bobble-heads.

  • winstonsmith

    file under: saw this coming a hundred miles away.

  • really!?!?

    Good, I always said that Fox News could use a little more crazy. And they get the constant homophobia, xenophobia, and factphobia (fear of facts) thrown in for free. Because in my opinion they are really lacking in those regards.

  • cire_the_don_dada

    Yes, you can only rely on left-wing outlets like CNN and MSNBC to deliver unbiased media coverage.



    simpleton... :]

  • really!?!?

    did i say that you could?

    or do you have special mind reading powers?

    assumptions just make you look like a asshat so chill

  • Rocknrope

    Hopefully it's a show on U.S. History. From what i heard Schmidt say yesterday, she needs to be edumacated on it just like a majority of Americans.



    Episode 1: Why there is both a North and a South Korea.

  • robingee

    Hey. She knows where Russia is. Sort of.

  • cire_the_don_dada

    I wish that she was winking at me... :\

  • Spirit of 76

    That's not a wink. That's a skunk eye.

  • HOTCUP

    that'll balance it out.

  • SonnyBobiche

    Del Signore must have jizzed in his pants when this news came out. If Limbaugh croaks at any time, Del Signore and others here will still have someone to hate without ever having to listen or read anything from her.



    Weird, no mention of Reid's comments and Sharpton's absolution of them or Bill Clinton's "Obama would have brought me coffee" comments either. Those are more New York related than Palin.

  • John Del Signore

    Check back in 10 minutes. (Typing w/ 1 hand)

  • Wza

    lmao!

  • SP

    Ten minutes, wow, you're a champion.

  • Tricksta

    Her theme music should be "Betcha By Golly Wow."

  • TrippinJoJo

    great now she'll do pieces about hunting wabbits and how sexy Elmer Fudd's head is.

  • Homer2323

    I advise you liberals to seek pyschological help, often, you need it.

  • ANGRYGOD11

    Pundits don't do very well in elections. This gig will make her richer, but kill any political career.

    Republican ex-office holders on Fox are like ex-sitcom stars doing comedy shows in Vegas.

  • ANGRYGOD11

    Do you mean liberals like Peggy Noonan, Reagan's speechwriter, who denounced Palin as unqualified BEFORE the general election?

  • robingee

    Liberals are crazy, what with wantin' ta help people and be compassionate and keep the earth safe and all! Nutty!



    Now now, don't you conservative lugnuts start thinking that Stupid is taking over 'Merica. We smart people still have the upper hand.

  • Jen S

    And we advise you ride the tide back to Tuscaloosa.

  • hotstepper

    we can all thank that old bastard McCain for unleashing this trailer trash vixen on an unsuspecting America.

  • fauxsella

    Well, she is a fox.
