Sarah Palin has landed a gig as a regular commentator on FOX News, a move that will expose her views to millions of people who hold them already.
Kidding … except not really.
Palin won’t be given her own show at first, but will instead appear as a pundit on numerous existing FOX programs – which if we remember correctly feature split screens and lots of interrupting, which make them like all the other annoying political shows on television, only “conservative.”
Anyway, having decided to no longer be the governor of Alaska, Palin needs stuff to … you know, do.
She’s already written her book, gone on a book tour and done a lot of Facebooking … so why not talk on TV?
Frankly, the more we’re exposed to Palin, the more we think she comes off as a whiny, intellectually incurious regurgitation specialist, although we do give her props for endorsing the fiscally conservative candidate over a status quo, big spending “Republican” in a recent U.S. House race.
Two other things we give her props for?
Her stems.
R-r-r-r-r-rawrrrr!
In case you’re interested in watching, Palin will make her first appearance as an official FOX commentator during Tuesday’s “The O’Reilly Factor.”
The show comes on some time in the evening, we think …

Help has arrived. Beauty and brains. After a bit more exposure, with any luck there will be a Jeb Bush/Sarah Palin ’12 ticket! Bless Murdoch for his brilliant move and bless the return of competent leadership.

FITS: “the more we think she comes off as a whiny, intellectually incurious regurgitation specialist”
She would fit right in as a candidate for governor of South Carolina. Henry McMaster in a skirt.

Now, that’s not fair. She is beautiful, too!

God Bill, when’s the last time you left your house? There’s better looking women in SC. She can always work on the brains issue, but at least it will be sheer entertainment until she gets up to speed-but that was never your complaint, right?

You have got to be kidding me. I like watching FNC, but do not want to watch her any more on TV. Done with it.

I hope she bumps Mike Huckabee’s cheesy music gigs right off the stage!

I had a dream recently that Sarah Palin hired me to be her ‘driver’…now that she’ll be on TV regularly, I’ll have an actual reason to watch FOX. More dreams….

Thank God! Looks like she has decided not to run for President. I give her less time than Leno in this gig.

I read where they were trying to prep Palin for the v.p. debate. Palin didn’t even know what the “Fed” was. McCain’s handlers called her a hick on a tightrope during the campaign.
She is a perfect fit for Faux news- low IQ, opinionated, and ignorant.

Fox hires Palin? What a shocking story. Next thing you’ll be telling me Mark McGwire used steroids.

I think Palin isn’t bright enough to make a serious run for the presidency. However, I find her interesting and insightful. She also is a MILF in my book.

I really dont get the attraction to her as a political figure
