Sarah Palin signs deal with Fox News

Fox News viewers will be seeing more of Sarah Palin soon. The former Republican vice presidential candidate is going to be a contributor on the network.

"I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News," Palin said in a statement released shortly after The New York Times broke the story Monday. "It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."

Palin won't have her own show, but she will make regular appearances on Fox and will host an "occasional series," one source told The Times. There was no immediate word on how much she will be paid.

There was widespread speculation when Palin resigned as governor of Alaska in July that she would get her own television program -- most likely on Fox.

"It's a good move on Palin's part," said Ed Morrissey on the blog Hot Air. But he warned it could be a disappointment for Palin fans who want her to run for president. Her agreement with Fox is said to be a multiyear deal, which would make it difficult for Palin to build a campaign organization in time for a 2012 run. Networks usually cut off contributors when they start political campaigns, Morrissey noted.

3. Maybe. That's a hard call to make.

Does she make them smarter, dumber, or the same? Any way it goes, they can keep each other company, and their audience won't be able to tell.
