Rick Santorum To Contribute To Fox News
By Salena Zito
Mar 7, 2007

Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum said Thursday he has signed a deal to be a contributor on the Fox News Channel, offering commentary on politics and public policy.

"It's an opportunity for me to continue to talk about the issues I care about and to speak to the country ... outside of government as opposed to inside," Santorum told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

A spokeswoman for Fox confirmed an agreement was signed. Neither she nor Santorum disclosed terms of the contract.

Santorum said he will make occasional appearances on the network to address a wide -- but not unlimited -- range of topics.

"I don't do (commentary on) Anna Nicole Smith, that's all," he said. "So I wouldn't have had much opportunity to be on in the past couple of weeks."

1. No Anna Nicole, unless, of course, she was a lesbian. Or "enjoyed" dogs.
Santorum is likely to provide a very unusual perspective.

2. Imagine if she enjoyed Lesbian Dogs
I think Santorum would probably explode covering a story like that

7. What about lesbian box turtles?
Mustn't leave the lesbian box turtles behind.

3. Harold Ford, DLC chairman, is also joining the ranks of Fox News.

4. Hey! Wouldn't it be
great if Katherine Harris did the same? I'd watched those two, they are my picks for the top two republican nut jobs and it would be just a scream - perhaps it will highlight what a three ring circus Fox Noise is.

Hell, I might even tune in for that one

8. Faux: Home of washed-up, disgraced Right Wing loonies....
They should start a new talk show featuring Santorum, Tom Delay and Katherine Harris, air it at the same time that Chris Matthews is on, and call it "Nutball." :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

9. You know how
when someone's on a TV news program, they have that picture behind them of whatever city they're in?

For Santorum they might as well have a picture behind him of outer space, because that lunatic isn't in touch with anyone on this planet.
