Bookies already taking bets: Who will Palin offend first at FOX?

The hiring of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin as a regular Fox News contributor has prompted the major Irish bookmaking outfit, Paddy Power, to start taking bets on "how long the gaffe-prone Alaskan governor will remain in Rupert Murdoch's employ" -- and who she'll offend first.

"Where Sarah Palin goes, controversy is generally not too far behind,'' according to a release today from the company, which claims to be Ireland's largest bookmaker and is a major player in gambling services in the U.K., Australia and Ireland. "So we'll obviously be following her new career path with great interest."

Paddy Power, which is listed on the Irish and London Stock Exchanges, is also taking gets on "which minority group the broadcasting newbie will first offend in her media role."

The betting line: "Gay and lesbian groups top the bookies shortlist at odds of 4/1, followed by Muslims and African-Americans, both at 6/1,'' single parents (8/1), Arab Americans (12/1), Jews (14/1) and the Irish (20/1).

1. how about those with a lick of common sense?

i think anyone who actually listens to her and has a mind would be affected.

[Captain Hilts]

2. Cat owners. nt

[tridim]

3. That's a tough bet

She'll eventually offend everyone who isn't white and rich, including Faux viewers.

[Common Sense Party]

4. Controversy leads to ratings, which leads to advertising $$$

which leads to longevity.

I think we should all ignore her and her disjointed babblings, because getting in an uproar over her every utterance is the surest way to keep her wealthy and in the public eye.

[Clio the Leo]

5. yeah, my money would be on "the gays" too....

.... dont quite know how she could bash single parents since she has one living in her house.

[Kadie]

20. I don't know if that would stop her....

dont quite know how she could bash single parents since she has one living in her house

Do as I say not as I do.

[Cleita]

6. This could be one of those silver lining on a cloud events.

If she pisses off Roger Ailes or Ruppert Murdoch, she won't have any media to back her anymore. Buh-bye Sarah. Maybe China will take you in. So have the bookies done a betting line on Ailes and Murdoch? Or, maybe that's included in the when she loses her job odds.

[Loge23]

9. If we could only...

...get word to her that Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch are dyed-in-the-wool liberals, think of the fun!
I mean, she hasn't a clue who these people are in all probability!

[EOTE]

7. My money is on literates. NT

[denverbill]

13. No, that's her base. She can't say anything so outrageous or stupid that it would offend them.n/t

[YOY]

17. "literates"...not "Illiterates"

You ever see the picture of the Palin fan straining over her book?

[EOTE]

18. I'd love to see that.

I remember struggling with my first big person book too.

[fascisthunter]

8. Who Could the Devil's Reject Offend... hmmmmm?

[11 Bravo]

10. Sentient beings.

[Salviati]

11. What do you think the over-under is for how long before she quits?

I'd guess 4 months.

:rofl:

[louis-t]

15. Because of a higher calling.

That God wants her to do. Also, plus and including.

[Contrary1]

12. English/Grammar teachers n/t

[madmom]

14. Easy.. dems and/or Obama.

[Caliman73]

16. The fact that anyone would hire that complete tool is already offensive to me

I digress. Where are people with any more than average intelligence and Liberals on that list? That is who she is going to offend first based on her sheer stupidity and inability to make any kind of coherent argument about anything. Her base will be fine because they are equally stupid. But anyone with any ability to reason, will or at least should be offended already.

edited for clarity.

[Skidmore]

19. Let's hope she po's Rupert's relatives, the ones who are gunning for

Ailes.

[HopeHoops]

21. The Coulterbeast

The Coulterbeast strives to be the least intelligent and least articulate female sort on the channel.

[tanyev]

22. Oh, I thought the title was referring to other Fox employees, behind the scenes.

I bet La Palin out-divas all of them, even Glenn Beck.

[Liberal In Texas]

23. They're making odds on how long she'll last too...

Palin to lose her Fox TV position:

Singles Only. *Must be officially announced by FOX.

8/1: Before Sept. 1, 2010.

10/11: Between Sept. 1, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2010.
