Sarah Palin is finished politically.

[rvablue]

Phew!! Not as if I was really worried. But still, phew!

She just inked a deal with Fox News.

Done. Over.

[WeDidIt]

1. NOT SO FAST!

Buchanan was a contributor on CNN prior to his run for the GOP nomination in 1992.

[slackmaster]

3. And how did Pat Bokonon do in 1992?

Oh yeah, he LOST!

[A HERETIC I AM]

17. "Lost" is too kind.

Buchanan had his ass handed to him.

[Maru Kitteh]

2. Todd should just get his divorce lawyer now then. Poor stupid bastard.

[stanwyck]

30. Oh, yeah. Sarah is a moving on up. Todd is history. She'll be

angling for a multi-millionaire. I'm sure there's at least one gazillionaire out there up to his eyeballs in oil money who's ready to dump his fourth emaciated blonde wife for the feisty brunette from Alaska.
She'll get to keep the clothes.

[graywarrior]

4. Didn't we all know that was coming?

[Laura902]

5. Good God?!

Does this mean she gets to feed people more of the shit that happens to come out her mouth????

[tishaLA]

31. It's God's plan for her to be on fox

just like it was for her to be Johnny McBitter's running mate.

[AspenRose]

6. She sure is

Because she is going to provide comedy gold for Media Matters and the DNC...and it'll all be on tape.

[KamaAina]

26. "And now, your moment of Zen..."

:rofl:

[musette_sf]

7. my thoughts exactly

I saw the headline and said to myself, What A Relief. She's just as idiotic as Scammity and just as crazy as Beckkk, so constant exposure of same qualities should effectively decimate any political ambitions.

[krabigirl]

8. Well yes. She has been for a while.

[MidwestTransplant]

9. It's a part time gig and gives her frequent access to Faux viewers. What could be a better setup

for seeking the nomination.

[waiting for hope]

34. No kidding - she'll quit Fox as soon as some

big time pundit whispers in her ear .. "Sarah, your country NEEDS you!" and then they slap down a huge donation check. She's a quitter, you betcha!

[CrispyQ]

10. This is perfect for Palin.

She gets to speak out to an audience that will never criticize or question her.

[DainBramaged]

11. Palin blows goats......

[MineralMan]

19. Not my goat she doesn't...

I like my goat. She'd give it some social disease, I'm sure.

[Cassandra]

25. I would think not!

Democratic goats have higher standards.

[MineralMan]

57. Yes, indeed. If she want to blow my goat, she'll have work for it.

[piratefish08]

28. aaaaaaaw man......

no reason to drag goats down to her level.......

[madmax]

42. yeah... more likely it's moose

:evilgrin:

[DainBramaged]

46. Sarah blows everything.......

[dionysus]

47. for free (i have proof)

(tell me someone get's the relate)

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

12. She won't last a year. Even Fox will become exasperated with her "inept-edness"

She will be a quick shot to ratings, then fall off the cliff.

[BlueMTexpat]

38. Sarah has already had a short-lived TV career as a sportscaster in AK.

Even then, she knew how to get to the "heart" of a story:

"Sporting big, fluffy brown hair, the Wasilla, Alaska, native, illustrated her strong, opinionated remarks by advising then-Los Angeles Dodgers baseball manager Tommy Lasorda to learn how to relax."

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20222714,00.html

Gawd! She and Faux deserve each other.

:banghead:

[JDPriestly]

13. This is how the powers that be plan to prep her for

running for the presidency. They are hoping that she will absorb the right lingo by mixing with pundits on Fox to sound intelligent.

Prepare yourselves guys. This woman is being sold to a huge number of voters. The extreme right sees her as an attractive tool they can use to get back in control of the White House. Don't rejoice too soon.

[rockymountaindem]

15. She is going to blurt out so much dumb crap on live TV she'll never recover

Not as if she was going to win anyway.

[Botany]

27. No way they will let Palin do it live.

She is bone stupid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1ZyLjN0zB8&feature=related

[virgogal]

14. But all set financially.

[nolabear]

16. Huckabee's band needed a flute.

DAMN this is fun. She is soooo finished.

[madmax]

18. I believe for her it was always about $$$

Don't know how much they're paying her but, between the book, speaking engagements (lol) she'll be happy. er. maybe.

[malaise]

20. I can't wait for her to lose it

live on Fux.

[southernyankeebelle]

22. Not so Fast buster. Remember the Huckster has his own show and I think

he plans to go for it again. Another loser. But remember lets not count her out. She is after all a journalist by trade and looks good in front of a camera. You never know what the witch will attract.

[bullwinkle428]

23. Time for another DU Poll : Predict her quit date!

[AlinPA]

24. I don't think so. Her gig will help her with her base and pick up independents who sit in front of

the TV and drool at Fox "News".

[Myrina]

29. She doesn't want to be President ...

... just like she didn't want to be Governor.
That takes thought and decision making abilities.
She wants to be a neato "news anchor" - remember, she was a 'sportscaster' (cough cough) for awhile.
She's waaaay too narcissistic to step away from the camera and do the behind-the-scenes governing that holding any office requires.

[stanwyck]

32. No. She wants to be a star. She wants the spotlights and the

red carpet and the limosines. How she gets that doesn't really matter.
Oh, and the money. She wants the money.

[Mopar151]

44. 'Zackly 100% right.

The camera loves her. It's those lyin' microphones that mess her up.

[stanwyck]

50. Too funny. n/t

[misanthrope]

60. She wants to be America's National Spokesmodel**nm

**

[Catshrink]

33. Commentator? That means she reads stuff that someone else writes.

just like her twitter and facebook postings. She doesn't write it -- she 1) doesn't know what she's talking about and 2) because she doesn't know the difference between a comma and a period, she can't string a coherent sentence together.

Yeah, "they're" setting her up. Will we able be able to see her unscripted in a situation where she has to rely on what she knows? I doubt it.

[Blue_In_AK]

35. Somebody on Mudflats

suggested that her show should be called "The No Show." Seems appropriate on so many levels.

[Stinky The Clown]

36. Pat Buchanan has had a series of teevee deals over the years. So did Wes Clark.

So did many others. They simply leave the air when they decide to run. Her signing with Fox proves nothing.

[MilesColtrane]

37. Wishful thinking.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people, and the need of the Republican party machine to promote it's fascist agenda with a 'pretty' face.

[blondeatlast]

39. Wrong. I wish it were so, but it isn't. nt

[wisteria]

40. Yeah, she got a job where news in unbalanced and unfair. Oh, and they lie just like her. n/t

[RamboLiberal]

41. Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, KO & others must be cheering

She's going to supply them with a helluva lot of great material!

[abq e streeter]

43. this was in the comments section in the Wash. Post article...

in case anyone gets overconfident about the intellectual level of our fellow citizens....I too, hope Palin is "finished" but...


Good luck to miss Palin- a carismatic mother which surely will surprise in future with more news.
I strongly disagree with some of her fews -I think they might change. I like her anyhow because I think she is autentic, not corrupted ,seems to have good spending control and does not allow anyone
to eat her up- a very strong person with womans soft skills. Miss Palin should be right there where things seem to run to much flopy flop.
They should bring her in- ive got the impression that she migth be good in cleaning up some stuff
No matter republicanians or democrats I
think It would be unwise to ignore miss Palins use in future politics.
the thing is very simple-. We might disagree very much with a person on some of his general fews but this does not mean
this person could not be a great contributer to development and ballance in the bigger picture.
She has not war in her heart.
and seems to be in her ay to be driven by
ballancing out-years in politics will teach her to get better.
Mister Obama who prooved to be eloquent
master in smart dialogue and interchange of ideas
and open chanals would be well advised to bring Miss Palin in - because of here experiance in administracion and her spending control. Her extra rounds in church or her fews on gay marrige or abortion ir other stuff should not count to much - because one thing seems for sure- in the area of her responsability things where not so nusty like in other places in the past.
In very general terms- no matter where
"Girls in charge"
they pull the trigger less-
But in a world where mostly men are in power it was always like this.
the mistakes from women count double.

[renate]

48. that person's comment raises just one question:

"What?"

[abq e streeter]

52. or possibly "huh?"

[Tarc]

49. "She has not war in her heart"

A meme in the making...

[abq e streeter]

51. or maybe "to much flopy flop"

[HughBeaumont]

58. e.e. cummings after getting hit with a closet full of bowling balls.

1 million monkeys with magnetic poetry.

Dana Perino after downing a case of whiskey with Rush Limbaugh.

[rocktivity]

45. Keith Olbermann must be shaking in his shoes

At least, if here were dead, he'd be smiling.

Glenn Beck, too--his ratings have dipped thirty points, I read recently.

Fox News: where journalistic credibility goes to die.

:rofl:
rocktivity

[spanone]

53. i don't think she is going away. this could secure her place on a ticket.

[Mugu]

54. She does have a degree in journalism from the University of Idaho.

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/paper-trail/2008/09/05/sarah-palins-extensive-college-career.html

[Danger Mouse]

55. In the long view, she was finished a long time ago, but she isn't going away.

She's too stupid...and too much of a rogue...to make a good puppet for the Rethugs, so she'll never get the puke nomination. They want somebody like Romney. McCain was just a sacrificial lamb because the GOP knew that they were screwed in 2008.

[lpbk2713]

56. The late night comics are no doubt ecstatic.

Ever since Shit-for-Brains left office they have had a long dry spell of decent material.
Now they will have another good source.

[troubledamerican]

59. Pinochet will NEVER overcome Allende to be President.
