Fox News has signed former Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin as a contributor:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, will take her conservative message to Fox News as a regular commentator, the cable channel announced Monday.
“I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News,” Palin said in a statement posted on the network’s Web site. “It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.”
Fox said that according to the multiyear deal, Palin will offer political commentary and analysis. She also will host occasional episodes of Fox News “Real American Stories,” a series featuring true inspirational stories about Americans.
Considering the fact that Ms. Palin recently ran a close second behind Sec. of State Hilary Clinton as the most admired woman in America, and considering that Ms. Palin’s book has sold astronomically well since its release on Nov. 17th, it’s a no-brainer that a network would pick her up. It’s not a bad idea to have such a popular woman affiliated with your brand.
But we expect the traditional media outlets to jump onto the old “Fox News is biased and Sarah Palin is shallow” angle of this story before you can say “Hockey Mom.” They will charge Fox News with blatant political cheerleading by hiring a person many believe to be a likely presidential candidate in 2012. And, they will attempt to diminish Gov. Palin as a “personality” by claiming she would rather be on television than finishing her term as Governor (they just hate the fact that they couldn’t make that “quitter” thing stick, don’t they?) Although, you never know — maybe some of them could surprise us.
The real story is this: A popular, telegenic former Governor who ran on the national ticket one year ago will now be a frequent contributor to the highest-rated cable news network. And, considering that CNN and MSNBC are bleeding money and viewers, it makes one wonder: Why didn’t they try to hire the governor? What fun it would have been to watch Sarah vs. Katie II: This Time, It’s Personal. Could it be that their blatant political agenda keeps the MSM from making sound business decisions?
That noise you’re hearing outside your windows right now is the sound of liberals’ heads exploding in rage and frustration.
One other important note, Ms. Palin will most likely be working without a teleprompter. Imagine that.

Commentator is a good first start. Fox News should give future President Palin a full hour, like they do huckabee. Not only would their ratings go even further through the roof, but that would drive the d-crat socialist extremists even more insane, i.e. a WIN-WIN.
Sarah vs. Katie II: This Time, It’s Personal
I'd pony up for pay per view for that. Especially if it involved paint ball guns.
YIPPEE!
Anything that causes the Lib media cabal to 'explode in rage,' I'm for. The rich get richer while the poor get poorer. I love watching people like Olbermann writhe with anger as they desperately try to figure out how everything could go so wrong in a year where he (and they) had the 'government of their dreams.' Imagine thinking back to February 2009 when people like Olbermann, Matthews, Couric et al were sipping champagne at having essentially rolled 7-7-7 on the bandit. Not so much 'sipping champagne' going on today, is there? And the cherry on the cake is that as bad as 2009 was for Libs, 2010 will be worse. Publicly or privately, they know this.
Oh, yeah! I'm on board for that one! Even without the paint ball guns!
Liberals aren't raging over this, we think it's funny and we expected her to end up on Fox. She's got no shot at the presidency, so she might as well be a commentator. It'll be fun to see the recaps of her gaffes over on MSNBC.
Liberal Speaking >>>> Duh. We're not shocked and Palin being a commentator for Fox News may give her actually more intelligent things to say now that she'll be up to date with what's actually going on. I'm all for it. Especially if she's the most admired woman… I prefer admired women to not only be knowledgeable, but also be able to articulate that knowledge. Play on Palin… Let's hear what you've got to say. Let not your ignorance guide you.
This is a brilliant move for both Fox News and Sarah Palin. Of course Fox will continue to skyrocket in their ratings in not being "State run media" and bringing on the nemesis of the extreme left. I for one will be watching her to see if she will be the rising star of 2012. She will definitely add to the 2010 elections with her ability to 'call it for what it is' knack. Something that is missing in the GOP. News like this lifts my spirits of hope for my glorious country and its hopeful future of being taken back from the Progressive onslaught of the last thirty years.
I think she will do well on television. I'm looking forward to seeing her.
Who else here got the irony of this post?
And again on this one…
Who else here got the irony of this post?
You make me laugh! Be sure and tell us about it tomorrow! I for one cannot stomach their incessant whining.
Great news. Fox has moved the network so far above the rest of the media (all media) combined. I suspect you will see the opposition folding, one by one, and joining the unemployment lines. I will be an avid reader of Sarah's common sense approach and acute insight. The opposition quakes, and they should quake.
saying the name of Palin will incite nearly the same reaction as Limbaugh and Beck.. i LOVE it! hahahaha
There is a reason that Fox News makes more $$$ than the other big-three Obama-News networks combined. Smart – very smart.
Got it! ROTFLMAO
They also make more money than all the other cable new networks, combined.
The interwebs and blogs are already going crazy over this one, if you would like some entertainment go visit a few of the lefty blogs. HA!
One thing about her is undeniably true and cannot be said about any other politician of note. She stood up against cronyism and corruption in her own party in a substantive way that really benefited the voters in her state. Name anyone else who's done that and I'll eat my hat. Moderate americans understand that the left hates her
Congratulations Sarah and Fox – An excellent combination! Look forward to the newest spectator sport – liberal head exploding.
Sarah Palin will have a lot of success bringing her story directly to the people instead of through the filter of vicious hag's interviews (yes, Katie, you're a vicious media hag). I've read about halfway through Going Rogue and she really is a terrific American, as is her husband Todd. Their lives on the frontier are so different from my sheltered city life, and reading their story was a breath of fresh air. I just don't think she needs a lot of air time. Reagan had 3 minutes on the radio a day. It was plenty.
I heard Palin will be lip-sinking the shows and Catherine O'Hara (SCTV, Home Alone) will be playing Palin's voice.
Who else here got the irony of this post?
I love it! Sarah is not done with the left by a long shot, real America will support her in whatever endeavor she may follow. I guess she’s about reloaded, and it’s time to start boxing Barry’s ample ears, give’em hell Sarah!
Dubya, what is this, a call in game show? Enlighten us please.
http://www.thepostemail.com/2010/01/10/red-flags-...
PALIN….??? FOX….??? are in question as long as they continue to cover-up the truth about the giant elephant sitting smack dab in everybody's living room every day and night, along with the rest of the MSM. 98% of media and news in the US is sourced back to 5 major corporations, all of which have dominate ownership outside of the USA. Think about this the next time you rave about PALIN or FOX, or any of the slime that work for/with the MSM and that call themselves loyal US citizens. No such thing. Who LIES? THEY LIE. Facts can't be disputed, crystal clear cover-up.
Question???when will the likes of Andrew Breitbart report these truths:
http://www.thepostemail.com/2010/01/10/red-flags-...
I bet . . .Palin's leftist detractors will not be able to miss any of one her appearances. . .it will become their secret guilty pleasure!
Congrats to FOX Newa and Sarah Palin — I look forward to her appearances, what she has to say, and watching Barry and his many minions cringe!
Has the StateControlledMediaComplex approved this?
Has the Minister of Propaganda been informed?
Ve vill not tolerate zee the uhndermining of zee president, ya?
This level of independent thinking and freedom "iz not consistant with zee maximum efficency and propagation and entrenchment of zee Furher's aganda", ya?
Irony was intentional – MSNBC is completely biased toward the left. You watch Palin, I'll watch Maddow. I'll watch Maddow make fun of Palin.
This great news, since according to Joy Behar, I can't read…
I'll watch the first show, absolutely. After that – I think I'll wait for my own pundits to play the clips. I really don't think I'll want to watch more than one.
I'm also sure she'll quit this gig too. She quit as governor. She quit her own vacation for God's sake, couldn't hack media coverage of her bizarre baseball cap stunt. Do you really think she'll stand for putting herself up for this much scrutiny? She's delusional.
Okay, but WE won't have to use eye bleach after we watch.
I admit it…I laughed
I'll bet Tifanei still hasn't gotten it.
In the last two terrific posts about FNC, the leftists here went nuts…Now I hope their fat heads explode in a rage…The hit piece on Sarah last nite on 60 MINUTES, with John McLame's campaign manager, had only one statement by Mr Schmidt that I found credible. He said" the addition of Palin to the ticket added perhaps 2-3 percentage points to an already sinking ship"…or words to that effect….
In other words, if not for her, it may have been a true landslide instead of the 6 points it turned out to be.McLame was the problem not Sarah…This guy Schmidt is really out to lunch and should just be a democrat..I happen to really like Sarah and whatever short commings she may have displayed in the campaign, she is still head and sholders above and democrat in the mix… ..
Palin embodies most things that most normal people regard as either virtues or values.
Intellectual competence, charity, productiveness, self-discipline, family, service, accomplishment, beauty, grace, candor, spirit … and so on.
I do not buy the idea that the sort of energetic animosity displayed by her detractors is the product of mere “disagreement” over points of policy….I think it speaks of a gut level emotional response.
And not one that reflects well on her opponents
Madcow is too masculine to really pull off the Palin thing well, maybe a more "fem" liberal sychophant is available – submit a headshot "heady"!
I heard that in Bill "Bubba" Clinton's world Obama would be, quote "bringing us coffee".
Liberals are done – welcome to the next America – where working families and middle Americans stand up and run things for a while…
Palin makes the Left jealous because while she is extremely attractive, she has a supportive, hard-working husband and well mannered children, who all work together in a tight unit to portray a real-life example of a woman who has it all… And would never have an abortion..Her pro-life stance makes her target for these demented jealous trolls…
Sarah’s strengths scare the left but her weaknesses are worse because they shift focus to the far greater weaknesses of the current office holder.
They don'r have to look far, they have Anderson Cooper already; he's far more feminine than Madcow.
She should have a segment called, "Three O'Clock Call".
My head's not exploding. I always thought she'd end up on Fox. My head would have exploded had McCain won, died, and she'd become my president. And no, she could not win on her own, she can't swing the independents.
I honestly don't see how you guys can think she has any "intellectual competence." Maybe she will after she studies more, but she speaks without a filter and that doesn't work in elected office in the lower 48. It'll serve her well on Fox. Television commentator is her calling, not elected office. We'll see if she can take the heat from the left.
She is following in Reagan's footsteps, but she is America's Maggie Thatcher !
You just played god and devined 'exactly' what she was going to do based on your projections. . .and then you want me to validate your opinion. . .no thanks.
Just stick with all watching all your other buds while they get tingles. . .and praise Mao, Stalin, and Che!
Don't you tinfoilers ever get tired of swallowing all that bilge?
kailuagirl, nothing factually wrong with your post, would only argue that fox is Bilderberg lite…
Your boy, Barry, quite every single elected "job" he ever had, to go for the next step up, when he wasn't even qualified to hold the first one,where all he ever did, besides following "orders", was vote "PRESENT".
You're the on who is completely delusional.
I've probably read more books, before reaching the age of 18, than Joy Behar has read her entire life, all put together and unlike her, the books I've read weren't coloring books.
And I bet that is true for most GOPers/Conservatives.
We're not jealous. We don't care if she's attractive. That entire notion is an insult to women. And, frankly, to Palin, who has deliberately tried to downplay her looks. We just don't like her policy, and/or her political weakness, etc. etc. I'm telling you as TokenLiberal that it's not about looks. Please give us/me more credit for having a brain and being concerned about issues, not whether someone may or may not look hotter than me on television (she probably does).
Her strengths don't scare us. Her weaknesses do…unless she stays on TV and out of politics, in which case I think I can speak for all and say her impact on liberals is minimal at best.
Hey is a "swaucey guy isn't he"…I believe he passes the Bwarney Fwank "smell test".
"…be verwy verwy quiet…we're hunting wabbits…."
The Libtards are complaining that she may be a candidate in 2012, and appearing on FOX might be an advantage. Why aren’t they complaining about Huckleberry? Oh, I know – nobody watches his lame show anyway.
Amen!
You said it! Every time I see him, I think of him shaking like a leaf on that bridge in New Orleans.
AP had 11 'reporters' checking out Palin's book for gaffes. How'd that work out for them?
Well, open the champagne: it is time to celebrate. This lovely lady will grace the tv sets in my house often now, and I could not be more pleased. I think Palin is the most under-rated political figure in the last 100 years. We'll now get to see just how savvy she really is! Yahoo!
Palin on FOX, love it! Sure to be a ratings hit! Oh, and since liberal's heads are largely filled with air — the resulting explosoins should make quite a pop!
Note to Andrew: The animated sidebars on all your Big sites are really annoying. I know you're trying to flog goods, etc… but the content you provide is for readers and thinkers, not Mountain Dew-swilling slackers looking for the next hot video game. Just my 2 cents. Cheers!
I've forgotten. What are her weaknesses again?
Snip ".Sarah Palin Signs With Fox News, Liberals’ Heads Explode"
If only it were really that easy, I would drive around with a loud speaker 24×7 until we were "Progressive Free"
TokenLiberal, I don't question your opinions about SP, you obviously believ what your told…
But clearly you have no clue about the the MSM.
Is Joy Behar your mom?
ktr… i'm with you…. they should give Palin an hour against Behar and watch her tiny audience disappear.
Sarah vs Hillary 2012?
This is good. I think it will be better if they are smart and don't put her in the position of interviewing celebrities to fill up time. Huckabee, she is not. I want to see Palin's take on the state of the country, and nothing more.
This is also good because for the longest time liberals have been explaining to us, long after the fact, of how her appearances on t.v. are "trainwrecks" or that she is "rambling and incoherent." They are only able to make those claims because her tv appearances are so few and far between that it gets easy to misrepresent them because people have foggy memories.
This puts an end to all that. Limbaugh has a huge audience as well, and is also misrepresented by the left, however he is on the radio and you have to listen to him during a time of the day that many people are occupied by other things… so if you're a liberal and didn't tune into Limbaugh, you didn't know what he said, you can keep saying "all he talks about is how much he hates minorities" and not many will be able to defend him because they didn't see his show, either.
Palin will appear in Prime Time, and the nature of t.v. is that not only will she be on at a time of day that many people can watch her, but her appearances will most likely appear on YouTube, to the point that liberals will not be able to NOT watch her. Their own curiosity will force them to eventually accept that republicans=stupid, ignorant, incoherent is nothing more than the emotional outbursts of a child. Sure they may still SAY that stuff, but this increased exposure of Palin will make them deep down not believe their own lies.
ON THE GRAND FOX STAGE……..NEW STAR SARAH PALIN…….STEPS INTO THE DAZZELING SPOTLIGHT……
THE MUSIC SOFTENS………SARAH LOWERS HER EYES TO THE CAMERA………FLASHES AN INTIMATE SMILE
AND SAYS…….SUFFER!!!!!
I love it! She made a smart move and so did Fox! This is capitalism at work and the MSM should take a few notes. Oh yeah I forgot, they think capitalism is evil. Oh well then…SEE YA!
I was actually depressed when my own mother turned on "The View" while I was visiting her over the holidays. I couldn't believe she was one of "them". If I had to watch Joy Behar's show, my head would definitely explode…
It amazes me how the left and the liberals go on about Sarah, if she is not a threat and so dumb, then what do they care if she goes to fox or not, after all they don't really believe fox is news right! so why do they care!
Just watch, this will be the topic for a month,instead of whats going on in our government they will devote all the news to Sarah.
I'm glad, I think she needs to get out there more, after all only intelligent people really watch Fox,hopefully she will take one of Shepherd Smiths time slots, two hours of him is just to much.
I will admit though it is fun to watch the liberals go crazy and show their true colors.
Now I wish I had a TV.
The popularity of Palin and Fox News only goes to prove how irrelevant they both are.
/lib
Everything except moxie?
She knows so little about foreign policy it's almost unthinkable. She still insists there are death panels in that healthcare bill though there never was anything of the sort. The legalese wasn't that difficult to understand. She cannot handle public pressure without imploding, she's divisive, and she's constantly hostile. She doesn't understand that you need to work WITH Washington if you want to be IN Washington. And I won't even bother to rant here about religion.
She just wasn't qualified. Look, McCain wanted Lieberman and she was a last minute substitution. I'm convinced he regrets the choice. She'll be good on Fox.
I agree about her own show, but can she play the guitar like the Huckster?
Well, as you see I'm a liberal, so obviously I'd disagree with her on most policies. So yeah, why bother listing? I don't see the point of me debating liberal vs. conservative policy here, that's just a go nowhere debate, we'd never convince each other
Read my response above though. I'm not anticapitalist at all, though, I'll say. Socially, I couldn't be more liberal.
I think Sarah’s college degree is in Journalism. This could be very interesting. Go Sarah!!
I love the smell of lefty splattered gray matter in the morning!
I'm with ya, I might even get cable again myself.
Insult me all you want but that turns you into an example of what the left mocks
(I can take it; if not, I wouldn't post here)
I absolutely understand that, except I disagree and insist and intellectual is needed in the white house. That doesn't mean they can't be a straight shooter. There was a time when I would have voted for McCain. With the choice of Palin as a running mate, McCain to me became a different man. She wasn't yet qualified, and it was just a political move. He wanted Lieberman. Should have stuck to those mavericky guns and chosen him. I wouldn't have voted for him this time around myself, but I do think he would have swung quite a few people that way.
HiPlainsDrifter, you can spout talking points you've heard on radio/tv, or you can think for yourself. This "jealous" thing though…yeah, probably not a thinker.
This is going to be great watching(ifI can stand it)Olbermann and Madow do their schtick. This is hilariously funny. It must really suck to be a Liberal
1) Joy Behar is not my mom, I promise. I've never watched her show, either (but I probably would like it)
2) Not only do I understand the MSM I was part of it. I can look at it critically, that includes the left-leaning MSM. Can you say the same for Fox?
3) I believe what I see – that means, what I've seen out of Palin's mouth, what I've read on her Facebook.
4) I'd be much wealthier if Joy Behar were my mom.
IMO Sarah Palin is imitating Ronald Reagan, not Oprah Winfrey, with her Fox News program. Reagan used his 1954-62 radio show for General Electric as a vehicle to sharpen his writing and oral presentation as well as for media exposure. The notes he wrote for his GE show depict a natural politician honing his skills to a receptive audience.
Palin's show for Fox could easily do the same for her, as well as being very profitable for both her and Fox. Plus the Democrats will go nuts responding to her, and alienate lots more people doing so. This is a win-win.
Right, lip-"sinking" libs trying to lip-sync a true voice of America. We know who is siking. Just wish it could happen sooner.
I am tired of him too. I like everyone else except Cavuto.
This is no surprise. A real news organization wouldn't touch her. Backwoods Barbie will feel right at home with the other incompetent people at faux. Glenn Beck can show her how to be a tax cheat, all the while claiming other people are tax cheats.
Right, and Steve Schmidt was McLame's campaign manager, otherwise known as the Captain of that "already sinking ship." And what does that tell us about how credible his opinions are, and just how seriously we should regard his "thought" processes? She was terrible, awful, and unprepared, and she gained us three points! Clearly, a Thinker, this guy!
Do you think Obama is qualified to be president? Just asking.
Huzzah, more face time for Sarah, and her new endeavor that will help ensure she gets the 2012 Republican nomination. I couldn’t be happier, because really why nominate one of the “smartest guys in the room”, that’s overrated isn’t it? Who needs a seasoned business leader like Mitt Romney or a policy wunderkind like Bobby Jindal. I say forget the days when Republicans were the boring guys in the gray pinstripe suits that people turned to for competent leadership. Let let anger and the cult of personality trump intelligence and experience. After-all it has an excellent track record throughout the course of history. So Three cheers for Sarah, and the inevitable victory that will come in 2012 when my party wrests the presidency from an inexperienced demagogue with a different inexperienced demagogue, yeah that’ll work.
Totally excited about this news! What a wise move. And just think, all those empty headed libs that are gonna watch so they can see her fail, might actually absorb something meaningful. Ya thin? Or its that a lost cause………………
And a "real news organization" is….?
It's so awesome that the left will go to any lengths to put a woman like Palin down. All the while they're unaware that we're on to them. The game is over.
See ya in November ,"loosers"
[...] [...]
Breitbart already has reported on the Saudi Prince ownership. But then I'll bet you don't read much Breitbart do you?
Do you realize that your comment makes absolutely no sense at all?
Please tell me you plan on NO offspring….
I'll let ya know when I make the decision, how's that…if it helps, I'd probably adopt? Probably would live in a blue state though, or at least blue area
Once again Sarah Palin has shown herself to be far more intelligent than she appears. This is the best news I've seen in a month. Definitely a win-win for Fox and Palin.
Ooogahh! Maddow=ugly.
Hey Tif-an-nay. Black name, right? Scared of Sarah, right?
This is the best news since ted the drowner died.
He and Bwany Fwank are 2 of a kind. ;^)
That they did and they couldn't find a thing, so they made up stuff.
And this should add to that little fact, as well…
This will be fun alright ! The dems threw everything the had at her, even tried to bankrupt her with law suits. She got up dusted herself off, figured out a way to pay her bills and will now have the last laugh.
GO SARAH
I turn off the set, when Shep comes on, or change the channel. As I said earlier……………he's unwatchable.
He lied his head off and became hysterical, when he was covering Katrina. That whole performance of his was disgusting beyond words!
Oh I like Neil. What is it about Cavuto don't you like?
Isn't Couric already doing that job…?
Aw, hell, at least she isn't "bringing the coffee"…
She's not bringing much news, either…
Sir, I know its against the Constitution and such…but would you mind running again…?
At least MOST of America had jobs back then…
My hat is off to you Governor. If you're up for it (I'm embarrassed to pose it as a question) how about a Katie and Sarah cage match? Loser retires from television. Bye, Katie.
If you had "a brain" , you wouldn't be a liberal and neither would you post such banal drivel.
Obama has less experience than Palin has, in all aspects of that word, and can't string two cohesive thoughts together, nor be gaffe free without his teleprompter.
If you guys weren't so petrified of her, your side would not utter a word about her.
Please let me help you so other leftist drones reading here will know what your "values"are..__.our military is inhabited by Christian bigiots who only want to kill, __getting our own oil from our own reserves is rediclous, __the money printing press will run full time,__ business' have unlimited reserve capital to pay for any and all social programs,__ "tax the rich" is a smart idea. after all they have the money and we don't…____Do you recognize any of these themes? Or will you lie to yourself and say that's not what the left represents?
Obama still knows nothing whatsoever about foreign policy and he's been president for almost a year now.
He has alienated America's closest allies and bowed and scraped and apologized to our enemies.
Your post is chock-a-block DNC talking points. Can't you think for yourself?
I'd pay double if it were real guns.
I know you hold all conservatives with contempt as all leftists do, but Palin really has you people more deranged then ever….I'm thinkin'…She's takin' alot of flack, so she must be over the target..
.If McLame had picked "Obama with a Yamaka" Lieberman as his running mate, well, that would have been a monumental defeat of McGovern proportions…
I've got to feed my horse…Nice talkin to you…
Now, Liberals will have an excuse for watching Fox. It could rub off.
You might want to prioritize on that…
After 2010 and 2012, there may not be many places left like that on the network maps…
However, I'm sure you might be able to find some crime-ridden inner city to take refuge in…Chicago comes to mind, or Philadelphia…after all, you wouldn't want to refute your principles…
I haven't heard anything on that have you? Hmmmm
Yes. That's what the little slash and the "lib" at the bottom of it indicate.
LOL. I knew this announcement would get the leftards' sphincters puckered and scurrying in like cockroaches to spit vitriol and insults. Your best entertainment value.
I was desperately for the bank bailout. It was a dark, terrifying time for me because I felt (and still do) that we were on the BRINK. Cavuto went absolutely bonkers over the bailout. It seemed like he couldn't go five minutes without wailing about it, even if the conversation was about the weather. Not joking.
I had to quit watching Fox Business (and Fox) and switched to Bloomberg. I felt like I needed information delivered in a calm, neutral manner. To this day I cringe whenever I hear Cavuto, but at least he's calmed down somewhat over the bailout.
I'm at i1113rwc@gmail so you can tell me personally…
As she looks over a photograph of the Obama and the statist lib Democrats…hope they got the picture sometime last year, all those "retirements" are gonna make the frame look empty over the next few months…
Al those "winners" quitting…
Independents have been/ still are fleeing the Dems as fast as they can, wouldn't vote for Obama now, if someone held a gun to their heads. You really shouldn't just lay back and not keep up with things; it makes you look ignorant and foolish to post blatant inaccuracies.
Sarah Palin has repeatedly shown her "intellectual competence"; unlike Obama and his quip about how he had been to <B >57 states. Then there was the botched answer confusing an inhalator with a breathalyzer. He misused the word "precipice", which makes one wonders what his verbal SAT score was.
He clearly stated, in Austria, that he didn't speak "AUSTRIAN". Gee…………..neither do Austrians, they speak GERMAN !
Prior to becoming the president, but during the runup to the election, he told an audience that "IRAN DOESN'T POSE A THREAT" and that at a time when we all knew that the Iranians were building up nuclear material for a bomb/s.
The above is just a wee bit of Barry's gaffes and absurd offerings; there are a vast amount of such things that I can quote. And yet, you claim that Palin is the one with great weaknesses? Take off the blinkers and stop drinlking the KOOL-Aid.
She's extremely "savvy"!
Have you read her editorials?
I'm hoping for a "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" or "Wide World of Sports" spot, so we can all go hunting with her, figuratively…
Too many lame guitar-players out there already…U2 and such…
Yep…
I think you meant to say, "Administration", not Beck…
Well now I like this!! As if the dhimmicrats have anyone worth listening to!! And even is their heads explode, it won't be to messy since they are empty of thought and reason!! Plus missing brains……
Who's Joy Behar?
liberals heads exploding? from laughter, perhaps. don't you know liberals don't watch FOX news due to its legendary bias?? Oh, and most of those on FOX read from teleprompters, just like everyone else on TV.
You wanted Lieberman too.
What we should really have is an intellectual as president so he wouldn't have to read from a teleprompter.
I think you meant to say "how RELEVANT they are!
The bailout was wrong and should never have happened.
I only catch Cavuto every now and again and he's never bothered me, so I wondered why he bothered you, is all .
Fox News and Sarah Palin were made for each other! They both brag about how "popular" they are – how high they rate in the opinion of Amercah. But I recall learning that opinions are just like assholes: everybody's got one and everybody thinks everybody else's stinks! That's what Sarah and Fox are: a couple of Assholes!
I have no idea what you just said here. It's that badly written and just plain idiotic.
Now if she would only have an affair and cheat on her taxes and have a sweetheart real estate deal, she would definitely be the winner in 2012.
I only see just the one.
Hi.
And make friends with a terrorist.
Well gee, I never thought there was a for real person watching MSNBC. Good to meetcha. I wasn't sure there really was an MSNBC, so searched for it a couple weeks ago.
Is Maddow that loon who laughed herself silly over the bomber on Flt 253? Called Al Qaeda the Keystone Cops? That Maddow? I admit, I watched her exactly once. Couldn't quite stop watching. It was like watching Cuckoos Nest. That's what she said.
If you are looking for an intellectual for President I take it you won't be voting for Palin.
Tough crowd. Man, it's hard imitating libs around here.
You are my new best friend.
Oh please, LET'S talk about her religion… something else Obama doesn't have.
Oh and the gig at FOX? well, she's earning a living, to pay those legal bills.
Maybe she'll pick a northeast state and run for governor or senator. Since Obama bled so many of those for his own Cabinet and Czardom, leaves a lot of room for Sarah to pick
I am cheering all over my living room. Such awesome news!! Sarah Palin on Fox News, how delicious is that. I hear liberal heads exploding all over the place like bubble wrap popping. Sarah is an intelligent, articulate woman and she'll make all of the tight lipped left wing bloggers bang their heads against the wall. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!! Kudos to Fox News for signing Sarah as a contributor. This is going to be Good!!
I love this, these people are so afraid they may like her they can't stand it.
The truth is no one cares if private citizens who do not make and uphold tax laws in our country don't pay their taxes properly, in fact, a lot of people silently applaud them. There is the difference between Beck and Geithner. How do you define a real news organization? Huffington Post employs actors and other "educated" people.The NY Times employs people who just make stuff up and use unnamed anonymous sources to smear presidential candidates etc. I don't think we need to even mention MSNBC do we? I love the Backwoods Barbie name though…
Ohhhh Liberals watch Fox news because they somehow know what's being said. The all know there is no competition when it comes to Fox. They blow all other news stations out of the water. At least when the teleprompters go down they know how to wing it on the fly unlike our current president who cannot go anywhere without his teleprompter and gets all tongue tied.
OMG, you are so funny! I have to compliment you on your sarcasm!
Let's see, you're telling me that some brick head fool actually paid Joy Behar and gave her a show, and more that anyone watches her?
Now, Whoever did that is not turning a profit for whatever network that is (WHO did that???).
But whoever managed to get Palin signed, is getting a huge bonus from FOX because that's a huge money maker for FOX.
I mean really, picture Behar and Palin side-by-side. It's not about their looks. It's about the look on their faces.
Obama is a phumffering fool, sand his teleprompter and sometimes even with one; Amused.
Palin's teleprompter went out, during her acceptance speech and she kn ew it so well, she just went right on without it and flawlessly !
Many Dems do watch FNC.
I truly doubnt that you really are all that "amused"; precious.
Actually, I'm serious. I live in the south. I can only squeal like a pig.
It's about time. I'm almost through with her book. Her executive experience runs circles around our current lame-a$$ president. Palin is the Dagny Taggart of Conservatism.
love ya sarah, bye joy and katie
Since the lefties love to hate Sarah, they will all be watching – Fox's rating should skyrocket now.
Well now she's got a shiny new gun, lots of ammo and a target-rich environment.
"considering that CNN and MSNBC are bleeding money and viewers, it makes one wonder: Why didn’t they try to hire the governor?"
Really? You honestly still think anyone in the MSM is still in it for ratings or any sort of business rationale at all? I thought this site was an overdue recognition that the MSM are not merely negligent, incompetent or even biased, but are actively, consciously engaged in the manipulation of the public mind. How on Earth can anyone still be surprised at MSM "bias" or wonder how they can miss "business" opportunities that seem so obvious?
So, how big do you think O'reilly's ratings will be tomorrow night when he gets together with the Governor.
Keith Olberman really speaks to me. Usually because I'm the only person watching… Just kidding. Nobody watches Olberman.
Yes, I follow her on Face Book, her writing is great, and so much common sense!
Love it! I was born in the south, does it count?
LOL! To funny!
Through the roof!!
Its time for a woman.
Its freakin brilliant. If you LIKE Sarah you will watch. If you DONT LIKE Sarah you will watch to see if she falls on her face. Either way you are watching Fox…and not watching the rest of the lame-stream media.
The lines are being drawn, as Stossel, Imus, Palin flock to where the the truth lies. Just a matter of time before Comcast follows Fox to make NBC, CSNBC more conservative as they have to make a profit. They didn't buy NBC Universal to continue the money pit that GE turned it into. Palin will be a hit as American's love her. True Americans. Check out my website
http://www.suckitupcrybaby.com
I read her posts too, but not on the original site and they're not only really written by her, but extremely well done.
Deliciousness will ensue … believe I will watch abc/nbc/cbs/msnbc/cnn tonight to see the fury and terror in their eyes
I for one will look forward to hear more then just sound bits from Sarah !! Great for Fox and more bad news for the liberals and MSM ( do we still need to seperate lib and msm ?? ) …
I understand that the Sham-Wow does a great job of head-explosion cleanup where necessary!
The lines are being drawn as Stossel, Imus, Palin have come to Fox because that is where the truth lies. Comcast brought NBC Universal and they will not follow the same path that GE did as NBC is a money pit. They will be changing their line up to a more conservative liking. They paid to much money to keep the same money losing line up. Check out my site http://www.suckitupcrybaby.com
Comedian Chris Rock once joked that George W. Bush "screwed up" so badly that a White man would no longer run for President. However, Obama is SO bad as President that a even dead White guy could beat him in 2012.
So, Sarah Palin being a live woman already gives her a big edge over the "Anointed One."
Yes it was and she was also a sports commentator/reporter on local T.V., in her younger days.
I said that earlier…..glad that someone else also saw the comparison.
He/she/it is just another damned troll, who believes that everyone else is as stupid as he/she/it is.
Pour Libs, You go Sarah, We will all be watching! Now I know why Michelle O Is being brought out to try to save Barry. Now this is going to be fun to watch
I wish they'd give her Shep's spot; he's unwatchable.
fox's next move should be to dump huckabee
also, sarah having a desk like mary hart's that shows off the legs couldn't hurt the ratings
I'm just sayin', is all
What would those policies be that you disagree with?
Would they be Conseravtive Principles like support for our military, developing our own energy reserves, real fiscal responsibility, getting out of the way so business can flourish, lowest tax rates possible, etc, etc…
See Miss TokenLiberal, Palin upholds these principles…Do you…??
It will be unnecessary for you to list your disputed policies/ values….I already know what they are…
We really like the fact that she is not "of the Lower 48 " (Washington), not an "Intellectual" (Obama), and speaks without a filter or telepromptor. ( all politicans). Can you understand these points? You sound like a jealous nag..
right on!
The LibStreamMedia!
Mental disorder on display LOL !
A couple of weeks ago there was a video of Ms. Couric being interviewed . She came across like Carolyn Kennedy,stammering and incoherent. I think Ms. Palin would do quite well against Ms. Couric .( without a script)
SHE knows little about foreign policy…?
Compared to Obowma, right…?
That's a pretty good joke, really…no, I'm serious, that's hilarious…really, I mean that…
ok jones, the set designer job is yours.
So how many 'fact checkers' will AP, et. al. assign to nitpick her appearances to death? How long until we catch them blaming her for typos in the closed captioning?
Have you been paying ANY attention…?
Or are you another fake squeaky toy troll pretending outside of your pay grade…?
Sarah, you kick butt, we'll take names!
Good for America. Good for Fox, the most profitable of the networks, as they actually report/discuss the news, not just report/declare their agenda like the other outlets.
HAHA….. Damn that lib sure got here fast. It sure looks like a case of Palin Derangement Syndrome to me.
Sad thing is I don't think he will get the joke. All I can say to him is I hope he enjoys 2010. It's gonna be a long, horrible year for him.
It's a good move on the part of Fox. I'll be interested to see Palin's commentary, particularly when the amnesty battle starts this year. It is to be hoped that Fox won't stage manage her appearances and will throw up against the really tough lefties. I think we all need to see that she can take on the likes of a Nancy Pelosi and come out winners.
Hmmm? El RushBo (a frequent FNC contributor), has a New Hi-Def DittoCam installed in his Studio, and now Sarah Palin gets a New Gig at FNC? Just what does Roger Ailes have up his Sleeve? Will Sarah & Rush we doing an Informal Show together, occasionally? Whatever it is, I would bet Dollars to Donuts that the White House and the Congress, are Stocking up on Tums.
"She still insists there are death panels in that healthcare bill though there never was anything of the sort."
The authors of the bill certainly wouldn't put the phrase "death panels" in the bill. (Not that we've actually seen it, but that's another story.) There are no racial quotas in the Civil Rights Act either. But when it comes time to enforce this travesty, that's how it will play out. The EEOC uses quotas to enforce the Civil Rights Act and whatever bureaucratic monster Congress creates for health care will be making life or death decisions that affect us all. So why is Palin so horrible and "uninformed" for pointing this out in a way that ordinary people can understand?
And as far as experience, she has a lot more experience than that junior senator from Illinois who bravely voted "Present" on every controversial issue brought to the Senate floor.
I expect this means we will see a lot of Tina Fey on MSNBC.
Not that anyone watches MSNBC, but you know, they can dream.
Yes, they are so well done, I am so excited to have her on Fox, she will be a great addition to the shows there!
Unfortunately you are probably right, but then I won't be watching!
You mean Saudi ownership of Obama? I heard about that, but not from Breitbart. I heard about it from Percy Sutton.
I have no doubt of Sarah's ability. I think she is the most under-rated politician in America. She operates from a values and ethics base, that will really give her an edge!
Sub-machine guns at thirty paces?
No suppressors.
I suppose you think you're getting the better of that, eh?
…..sure, ya are….
Why, oh why, do you self-appointed monsters of intellect keep calling Mrs. Palin unqualified. What qualifies the telepromptered one?
Columbia? Harvard? On what merit, GPA?
Sorry. No published documentation.
On Legislative experience?
Sorry, no legislation and few actual votes in less than two years. Illinois experience, BTW, is even more ludicrous than that.
On Judicial correspondence and legal review?
Big, big body of work there, eh? 1. Essentially, nothing.
Give Pee-Wee Hermann a teleprompter and he'd sound as nuanced as…..
oh……Obama.
Be careful going outside. All this global warming is bad for open head wounds.
McCain wanted Lieberman, huh. Really? You broker the talks now did you?
I'm seeing so many Libtard heads exploding I thought I was watching "Scanners IV". And I swear I just saw Rachael Madcow, Keith Overblow, and Chris Mattress going "wee wee wee" all the way home.
McCain wanted Lieberman. It was reported all over the place before he picked Palin. Rove talked him out of it. I believe the first time I heard it was from Andrea Mitchell. Rove felt that the country wasn't ready for Lieberman. This week, it was reported that Palin was chosen after a quick internet search – um, ok. Whether that's true or not I have no idea.
You can try to turn this around and ask for Obama's qualifications, but the notion that he's less qualified than Palin is a tired argument that's totally ludicrous and after dealing with it pre-election until I was blue in the face, I see no need to continue with that debate. Having said that, I'm not happy with how he's handling things, particularly in regards to healthcare.
I wish they would dump him and replace him with Chris Wallace.
Read Going Rogue. She addressed this Schmidt guy long before he started his crap. He is inept and he's blaming Sarah for HIS failures.
Shrewd move. MSM wrote her obituary when she stepped down from the AK gov, but in hindsight, that is looking like a shrewd out-of-the-box move too.
No teleprompter? Unlike the anointed one, she comes off better when she's unscripted or speaking her own lines. It's often the blunt truths that drive liberals batty and catch everyone else's ears. That, and she remembers first principles, and puts constituents before special interests and party. Simple common-sense, right-and-wrong stuff. Says what she means and does what she says. She is the anti-Obama, lol.
And the reason you believe Andrea Mitchell is…
"[Obama is] less qualified than Palin is a tired argument that's totally ludicrous"
That's a dismissive assertion (and a 'ludicrous'ly indefensible one at that), not an argument. Please, for us slow kids in the class, would you go over your messiah's fabulous- dare we say, unprecedented- qualifications one more time? And please compare them, point by point, with the Rep's candidate for second banana?
Are you one of Barney Frank's "friends"?
Have you been drinking?
From what I understand, msnbc thinks it's a good idea too. This should double their viewership from 5 to 10 viewers. Overall, a smart move by Fox. Ailes is a frackin' genius.
There would be no contest. Remember, Palin knows how to shoot a gun – accurately. It would be aim and shoot before KC could ask "what is this thing you just put in my hand?"
Trust me. Liberals heads are exploding with laughter over this. Imagine any media outlet hiring a sad, sick, boring woman like Sarah Palin late o a failed governorship, failed political campaign where the people who knew her best thought her crayz, late of a dysfunctional family life, etc., etc. I predict she will be "late" of even FOX within the year. RIP Sarah. And none too soon. Although every liberal loves a GREAT laugh.
Palin would win if she were given a 22 and KC was given a sub-machine gun. It might even be more fair, but only marginally.
Can hardly wait until she does her first hour show and draws 4-5 times more viewers than the LSMSD idiots. Bathtub Boy, Leg Tingling Chris, the Lesbo, et al, will have 6 kinds of a hissy-fit!!!! The pi$$ poor people at CNN can commiserate with them.
Sarah? YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's funny…
If everyone on the left is so "HAPPY" over this move by FOX, why are you all over here slurping up to us over this…?"
I mean, I'm not over at HuffBlow dancing on Reid's grave, dug singlehandedly with his tongue…don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the Race Industry (Sharpton, et. al.) trying to catch molten lead with their mouths, but I have no desire to play "told ya" with the programmed masses over there…
But here you are…so I am supposing you're actually quite frightened by the prospects of "'Cuda Sarah Palin" (I LOVE that car, BTW), sharpening her skills on camera, baiting statist libs, (like Ann Coulter did with the aforementioned Sharpton recently), and giving the independent voter, already beaten into the dust by "Hope and Change", (or was that Rope and Chains?) Democrats, a chance to form an opinion on 'Cuda that does not match up with your screed…
Must really hurt to be rendered so irrelevant so fast, huh…?
What kind of poll says Hitlery Clinton is that popular? Have people forgotten she is as bad as Obama and her husband? They all work for the same people. She is just as much a crook, tax cheat, liar, thief and thug as the rest of them and she married to a rapist.
Well, when you have polls comparing Hitler to Stalin, usually Hitler does worse…
Now, if you compared the Hillary and the Obama against Ronald Wilson Reagan…ouch…
not to beat a dead horse, but have you actually seen and heard your messiah without his electronic ventriloquist?
Oh, if only that were true: Media Heads Will Explode!
I am sure Tifanei thinks real smart women watch Whoopi, Joy Beher, and Bawa on the news, when they are not mindlessly following Oprah. Those are real geniuses. LOL
What's the "bag limit" on libtards, anyway…?
Just curious…
Tomtom. you're ignorant. that's all the acknowledgement your comment deserves.
and for your information Kristine – I'm sure smart women do watch all of the women you mentioned. I don't – they don't.
I never said Palin wasn't smart. i think she is. I dont think her intelligence or need for knowledge is what motivates her. I think her move to Fox will motivate her to learn more. I mean, c'mon the woman needed to be taught about WW1 and WW2 when she was in a leadership position of a state. That's ridiculous and every single person on here knows it. And those of you that neglect to admit it, are simply in denial. She needs training and she needs to be further educated. Don't assume that because I am black that my intentions for criticizing Sarah Palin are anything less than fair. Like I said … if so many people admire her… i simply hope she redeems herself. She was quite an embarrassment in some of her opportunities to communicate to the public.
Yeah, you and those other 16 people.
Wow TomTom has really added to this story. Thanks TomTom, I was unaware that black women were afraid of Sarah Palin. Congratulations, You're an idiot!!!!
Obama has ALWAYS been just the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION student/job pick/candidate. He has spent millions and called in every favor owned him, to keep every single record, he possibly can, secret ! He is THE least known about president, or even candidate, in the history of this nation.
That's just rumor. There is NO evidence, none at all, that he wanted LIEberman for his VEEP. And it is also IMPOSSIBLE for a president to pick a runningmate outside of his own political party.
As to Obama's qualifications V. Palin's, it may be "tired" to you, but it is valid. And he has less experience and far less qualifications than she has.
And while she did step down from the governorship, Obama was still taking his paycheck, from two different elected offices, when he, by all appearances, had actually quit those jobs, to run for a higher offices.
She'll be great and though we all know that liberals will find fault with everything she says, she WILL prove herself to those with less closed minds. That's what they are so afraid of.
Not everyone is on FACEBOOK ( I'm not ), not everyone is on line, but lots of people watch FNC and this is how Reagan became a known quantity to those not living in California………………..he was also on T.V. !
I actually don't care who Shep is replaced by….he should just be replaced!
It's a shame, but inevitable…………………..we keep on getting more and more idiot trolls.
They're quite stupid and whatever their agendas may be, they are all ignorant, stupid, inept, childish amd won't do whatever it is they imagine they can/are doing.
I like the idea of liberals' heads exploding. Wait until Nov2010.
Actually, I think he hit the nail on the head. Most non-African Americans can spell Tiffany correctly.
As far as your liberal/Democrat talking points…go spread your ignorance and miss-information elsewhere. Maybe Daily Kos, or Huffpo or the like.
You must be having your "news" spoon-fed to you by the networks/MSM. If not, you are horribly misinformed, or just plain stupid.
Somebody had to do it.
That figures…
I have just lost SO much respect for conservatives after this stream of comments. all these absolutely ridiculous judgments about me, because i don't support Palin.
#1 I dn't like the lack of investigative reporting on any of the popular news networks… period. none of it is to actually inform the public, it's all for other motives – which is never a good thing
#2 I can't stand some of the accusations and level of ignorance that some of the people on television, liberal or not, spew every day.
#3 my talking points? you all are comparing Palin to Limbaugh and Beck. What a smack in the face for her… she's a politician who has very strong beliefs (despite that i disagree with most of them) and those two are just trying to make a buck while ruffling feathers.
You know nothing about me. You can attack my argument, but not my character – you know nothing about it.
Can't talk to you people it's ridiculous. I'm writing off this site.
The title says it all.
You're right. He grates on the nerves. Bad parking etiquette, too, I am told.
I don't know HOW he gets the viewers he does get; it's painful to watch him.
Oh yes, he has that reputation, re parking places. LOL
OH I get it. You are using a Yiddish accent to paraphrase a Likud operative. Funny.
Better start respecting and making friends with this arctic fox and barracuda from Alaska. She will be the next president of our country. It is God's plan!!!!
If it is God's plan, Can the far left and GOP pundits be able to reverse and contradict God's plan. I have a great feeling that God blesses Sarah Palin and her family. When Sarah Palin lost the VP bid, a lot of noises from the MSM said that She will fade away like others and yet, she stayed. When she quits as governor, again, MSM and GOP pundits predicted that she made a big mistake and she will fade away. She had successfully launched her book and became a multi millionaire. Did she fade away?? No. Her supporters grew to millions and most of them are loyal to her. Her only weapon is a Facebook and was able to single hand combat the healthcare suing two words: Death Panels. Did she fade away?? No. Now, she is with the Fox news and has a multi-contract. Will she fade away?? I believe that Sarah Palin is blessed by God and whoever God blesses, no man can curse. Now, to all liberals, better watch out: Do not mess up with God our Creator.
I’m having a little bit of trouble viewing your site in Safari, but it may just be my computer. Apart from that, I love your site. I plan on browsing around and reading some more posts!
Who's coffee did you get when you were "a part of" the MSM?
You hear words, you dont see them, on the other hand yeah you have the smarts to compete in that arena so maybe you were part of it.
What a moron, ah sorry you are a leftist, my bad, Oxymoron alert.
[...] Post — the ultra left-wing Blog Forum which is funded by the Obama Campaign for America — in their report on Palin’s contract signing, gushed with delight at the prospects of her being reduced to a media personality. The depth of the [...]
