Faux news and failin quitter...

[Javaman]

Could it be that the moron in residence has taken on the job at faux news to act as a potential platform for her supposed run for 2012?

If so, since she's a "consultant", could this be an issue with campaign laws?

Oh I hope so.

1. Isn't Huckabee on tv, too? eom

2. I thought she was a "contributer", you know, so she can write off her

appearances come tax time. :dunce:

3. It seems to me this job is lot like the game they play in college football

In college football players are not allowed to be given money from boosters, so they are given "jobs" instead.

I think this is a way for Murdock to donate large sums of money to Palin with out be subject to the FEC restrictions.

Plus he is donating the resources of his cable station to help her as much as possible.

4. I'm not sure they can really do anything until plans to run announced

They sure were hot on Ed Schultz's trail the very second his possible run for Senate was even mentioned--though he'd expressed no intention to run.

Different rules for RW assholes and LW progressives, don't ya know...:eyes:

5. It's nothing more than a payoff...

...for the huge amounts of ad revenue Palin has generated fro FOX.
It's Rupert's way of saying thanks, and keep up the good work.
I imagine they'll put her in front of a camera a few times a year to read scripted items and for that she'll get her millions. This has nothing to do with journalism...
