The New York Times reports that former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has been signed as a contributor to Fox News.
The network confirmed that Ms. Palin would appear on the network's programming on a regular basis as part of a multiyear deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person with knowledge of the deal said, though she will host a series that will run on the network from time to time. This person would not elaborate, but the network does have a precedent for such a series. Oliver L. North is the host of an occasionally running documentary series on the military called "War Stories."
The chief strategist to John McCain's campaign said in an interview with "60 Minutes" this weekend that Palin has a tendency to say things that are "not accurate":
"There were numerous instances that she said things that were - that were not accurate that, ultimately, the campaign had to deal with. And that opened the door to criticism that she was being untruthful and inaccurate. And I think that that is something that continues to this day," he said.
Okaaay..can't wait, you betcha! LOLOLOLOL!
Good grief, what a photo! It does make me wonder what she was doing when it was taken.
ReplyDeleteI think she was trying to speak...lol
ReplyDeleteGood! faux news is where she belongs!!
ReplyDeleteAs usual this nobody will be given credibility where none is due. But the fux whore nutters will love her even more.
ReplyDeleteHere everybody have a piece of nutter blubber from up north to chew on - you betcha!
The photo looks to me like she was having some kind of transcendent ecstatic experience. Maybe being signed to appear on Fox News just naturally has that effect on Republicans.
ReplyDeleteShe's not accurate? No Shit??? Then she'll be right at home. right alongside of the Huckster, another piece of crap.
ReplyDeleteTime alone will kill 2 terds with a one sad tone.

ReplyDeleteDon't laugh friends. There is a willing audience of deluded right wing fools that hang on Sarah's every word. She has a pulpit to continue to feed these wackos their daily fix of bullshit.
ReplyDeleteJust as Obewan warned Vader, "She will become more powerful than we can possibly imagine."
I think this is a win-win all the way around. Lots of Fox viewers will be thrilled. Makes Fox happy.
ReplyDeleteEveryone else will get lots of great Sarah Says quotes to make fun of. Makes everyone else happy.
Truth is correct.. it is not a funny situation.. it is scary... This woman now has a HUGE platform to spew her garbage and a loud microphone to use... There is a very large audience out there just waiting for her to speak to them and hanging on her every word...
ReplyDeleteThis is the chance she has been waiting on to get her face and her name out there in front of the entire Country once again... Just as she did during the campaign..... Now she is going to be setting her self up for 2012 in style... lots of money, lots of exposure, and lots of time to get her name and face out there to drum up the votes... Where is the down side for her? The people who follow her discount her lies and believe every word out of her mouth.... That's not going to change no matter what she says.... trust me....
We get what we deserve. Don't censor her. Let her speak loudly and often. If what she says is crap, call it crap. Point out how she is wrong. If the majority of people believe her, then so be it. We get what we deserve.
ReplyDeleteyes she will have a platform, but remember the Fox viewers who will watch her and believe every word she says are a very small minority. They are not the repubs, they are the rightwingnutfucks, just as OneFly says. And being on TV for all to hear, those on the left will have much more ammunition as Jerry says. I don't see an up side for her at all. She is a fanatical wingnut and a proven liar and exaggerator.
ReplyDeleteWait, wait, wait...Lisa withdrew her comment? That's the only reason I come over here, to read her funnies. Maybe she'll be back. I'll check later.
ReplyDeleteBTW-has anyone ever considered the possibility that Lisa and Sarah are one and the same? Huh, huh?
"She is a fanatical wingnut and a proven liar and exaggerator."
ReplyDeleteSo was Hitler.
Hmmmmm.. Jaded I didn't notice that, wonder why lisa left us high and dry?? Maybe she'll be back with bigger and better!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, thats too friggin scary!
It may be scary but the similarities are there and you know that old saying about history repeating itself.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why there is so much angst about Sara Palin. She is free to speak just as are the far left. Why don't you try watching with an open mind...you might just be surprised.
ReplyDeleteI admit that her folksy speech and dropped "g's" get on my nerves, but if you really listen, you may find that she is not the dragon that you believe her to be.
Hey, we on the right are regularly subjected to Alan Colms, Ellis Henican, Bob Beckel and Penny Lee on Fox!
Exposure to the public in frequent doses will either show her to be more normal/intelligent than you are willing to admit, or it will reveal to everyone that she is not up to the job of President (should she decide to run.)
"or it will reveal to everyone that she is not up to the job of President (should she decide to run.)"
ReplyDeleteThat's the right answer Linda, we already heard enough to figure that one out and we don't need to be subjected to any more of her insanity and religious drivel. She is a fanatic and as scary as they come! It really does all boil down to religion with the right wingnuts. What do the lefties say that is so scary? Ummm don't answer that, I forgot who I was talking to!
Linda is correct about Colmes. That clown was no more a spokesperson for the left than Reagan. Good riddance to that lightweight turkey.
ReplyDeleteThis was inevitable and I think it was arranged a long time ago. I do not think this loon will be running for president anytime soon but I do expect to see her full time on Faux News.
ReplyDeleteSue I am adding you to my BR RIGHT NOW. I am sorry that I keep forgetting:-)
I like Palin but I'm NOT ga-ga over her but I have to admit that some of her "cutsie" verbage is annoying. What's up with "manifest"? She uses THAT word ALL the time!
ReplyDeleteAs far as Palin and Fox, it's a marketing move for Fox because right now Palin is a "cash cow" and they're going to "milk it", also since she doesn't have any plans on running for office any time soon, she has time to work for them and make some dough. No matter what anyone thinks of her, it's a smart move and she's gonna walk away a wealthy woman.
Pamela I think that's exactly right,marketing move.
ReplyDeleteThat's why Fox/CNN/MSNBC are around. It's not cause they run a charity they're all in it for the $.
Truth I think Linda is saying Colmes is a left wing extremist. lol
ReplyDeleteMike you're a doll, thanks!
Pam I think the word most outta Palins mouth, during hardcore interviews that is, is Ahmadinejad. She appears to say, "oh look at me and my big word I can pronounce", lol. Bush was the same way with the word entrepreneur!
Pam and Oso it is all about the money, you're right!
I doubt if she's going to be all that rich. I don't think the sale of her book began to touch her legal debts. And Boy Todd seems perfectly content walking ten paces behind her everywhere she goes.
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint you jadedj. I do aim to please.
ReplyDeleteMy deleted comment said "So much hate,so little time" But I figured I'd wait for more comments instead of 5 to post that so now that this post got many hits I reiterate my original comment.

ReplyDeleteCan someone please translate this for me?
I was going to translate that for you but I wanted to see if anyone else can.
ReplyDeleteThis I gotta hear.
ReplyDeleteLisa thinks we hate Palin -- apparently being unable to distinguish ridicule from actual hate, which is what is manifested by things like displaying a portrait of someone defaced to look like Hitler, or addressing him with a Bible verse praying for the death of the target.
ReplyDeleteThe "so little time" part probably refers to how long her comments stay up:-)
Have at'er guys!
ReplyDeleteNot worth the time.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to show you what the left sounds like. You know being they are the self appointed "hate" police.
ReplyDeleteJerry! You don't want to play with lisa anymore? :-(
ReplyDeleteI believe infidel made the point Lisa. If there's a hate element in this country, it's not coming from the left.
ReplyDeleteBTW Lisa, thanks for upholding your record of stating a position ad nauseam. I knew you'd come through.
As a big fan of Tina Fey, I'm glad Sarah signed on with Fox.
ReplyDeleteThe scriptwriters at SNL might have the biggest source of material at their disposal since the days of Chevy Chase and Gerald Ford.
"Roll over, Liberty".....you betcha!

ReplyDeleteYes and you all hate Sarah Palin. Things I have read written about her don't come close to anything I read on blogs about Obama.
ReplyDeleteLike the guy who hung her in effigy?
No hate there just ridicule when it comes from the left.
You did see that story from Plains, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteAnd they have nerve to say that Joe Biden is the walking gaffe machine, Palin outshines Joe exponentially.
ReplyDeleteHugh Jee may have hit on something here. SNL writers must still be giddy over this. Talk about job security, theyll probably send a fruit basket at some point to the Faux Studio.
I was just gonna say that C! SNL will have lots of great material and Tina will be working non-stop! Good point Hugh!
ReplyDeleteSue, have you seen the blog Immoral Minority? It's written by an Alaskan and covers pretty much everything Palin-related.
ReplyDeleteI just came from that blog Infidel and added it to the list! Watched the videos of Palin on Billo last night, amazing! Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note -- the top ten highlights of Palin's first day at Fox.
ReplyDeleteLeslie while I am certainly no fan of Der Fuehrer I must point out the most significant difference between he and The Palin. He may have become a megalomaniac but he was very, very bright. The last word operating here to point out the difference between him and The Palin.....Bright!
