  • Sarah Palin to be a Fox News contributor

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

Sarah Palin on Fox News

Also - I did the little poll on that page, and clicked No, you couldn't pay me to watch Fox news and the vote results came back:

Did you watch the 60 minutes thing about her being added to the McCain ticket? Clearly she was overwhelmed. The campaign guy they interviewed seemed like a level headed individual who even quoted on the Katie Couric interview as being "fairly questioned" and her failure was because she "didn't do her homework".

The GOP is on its last legs.

I'm saddened by this, I was hoping she would run for President in 2012.

She's the politician who wants rape victims to pay for their hospital services, right?

It's nice to know that there's an arms length distance between our politicians and the news media which, in essence, acts on behalf of the people to properly report (and in a way, police) the politicians

The Onion's A.V. club reported this as "Fox News Hires Sarah Palin As Commentator Because Of Course They Do".

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. She's the champion on the backwards morons of this nation, about a third, mainly from southern states and especially appalachia (*disclaimer: not all southerners and hillbillies are like this). These people would like to see the USA fail just to prove a point: that we can't thrive unless we recognize that we are a "Christian nation" and follow the taboos of some ancient semetic tribes. Never mind that Canada, Japan, S. Korea, all of Western Europe, Australia, etc. are largely secular and are doing just fine... Their prime interest of conservatives is ensuring the "undeserving" (read: "darkies") don't get any of their stuff. They ensure this through direct cuts to social services and the taxes that fund them, spending more on the military to ensure there's less left over for social services, and deficit spending to make it harder to justify more spending on social services later on. Also, they want to invade any country that looks at us funny. Those countries are just full of "darkies" anyway that want to take our stuff, right?!

Fox News is the news outlet for these people, it's "fan service" for conservatives--especially now that Palin is on there.
Seek: She's the politician who wants rape victims to pay for their hospital services, right?
That's pretty much all conservatives in the US. Not because they hate rape victims but because they think that health care is a privelege and not a right. They'd say it was the rape victims own responsibility to insure herself beforehand.
Eric: I'm saddened by this, I was hoping she would run for President in 2012.
I think that she still will. I'm not sure if she'll take the GOP party nomination or run as an independent. With all of her "going rogue" and "maverick" talk, I suspect she'll run as a third party candidate. I really hope that she's the GOP candidate though--it will be like shooting fish in a barrel for Obama to beat her.

There are Christians and there are "Christians". One side very liberal, the other very conservative. One side sees Jesus as a messenger of love, the other as the Divine Judge of humanity.
