Bill Shine, executive vice president at Fox News, said the network has enjoyed its association with Palin and wishes her the best.

Then I thought, 'yeah, I can see that. Mooselini leading a team of big-haired FAUX talking heads on a commando raid into the parking lot at DNC Headquarters - knives held between their teeth -to slash everyone's tires.'

(28,017 posts)she sported a major league entourage, security, hangers-on, publicists and PR hacks that was more in line with sports and rock stars. as she grew shorter on funds, she began cutting back on the staff. At one time, she had a crowd of 20+ with her at all times.
I doubt she supports any more than one or two now.

(809 posts)I said almost. She had herself blessed by a witch-hunter, Bishop Muthee. In remembrance of the 1000s of innocent women who were burned by the church, I wish I was actually a witch so I could make her downfall even more painful.
As it is, I hope Sarah can only find work in German porn and stripper bars on two lane highways, 20 miles out of town.

(6,699 posts)She had so much to offer too. Oh well, she will be deeply missed by the teabaggers and other dimwitted, disgruntled tea-bag hat danglers in the country. Such a pathetic joke that this empty headed jerk ever saw the light of day on the national stage. THANK YOU grumpy mcAncient!! Way to contribute to the country!! ..much like your years of service in the POW Hanoi Hilton. Worthless jack ass!

(11,175 posts)She doesn't want to be irrelevant. She wants to be in the spotlight. The Faux News gig gave her that while paying better than any public office.
If she can't find anything else that's reasonably lucrative, she may run for the Senate, if only to have a platform again. She would be a favorite defeat Mark Begich, the Democratic incumbent who's up for re-election next year.

(21,317 posts)Basically, she was riding on her looks, which some people liked. Minus that, we'll, there's just not much left.

No wait! It's 4:10 in the morning and I just woke up. I'm coming out of the fog of incoherence. Damn! I can't use a right wing talking point against a right winger TV network.
Never mind.
Well good luck Sarah. You still have your million dollar reality TV show and lucrative book deal...or is it $100,000 show and comic book? $100 maybe and a pamphlet? Is the show still on? God! Sorry about your career.

(11,464 posts)Fox couldn't control her, she is off message for them
whereas, I bet in the end, Fox does better with Karl Rove and Dennis Kucinich in putting down Democratic candidates and democratic message.
Wouldn't suprise me if next Fox hired Ralph Nader and Ross Perot and Ron Paul and Joe Lieberman.
Last thing Fox wants is a loose cannon.
Everything they do is scripted for a reason.
so while its fun I guess to put Sarah down, she doesn't fit into their 2016 plans, but Dennis Kucinich does.
Think about it.
loose lips sink ships.
Having Kucinich fits right in with their strategy in sinking Democratic ships

(5,842 posts)FOX hired the nitwit for one reason only....to defeat Obama in 2012 either directly or indirectly and she failed.
She used her airtime to jerk both the network and her following around with her perpetual teases about running in 2012. Her standing was so diminished by the time she chose not to run that the GOP and Romney team didn't even want her up front and center in the 2012 campaign. And she supported nut jobs that if elected showed they had no interest in governing.
She's part of the GOP's problem and I'm sure FOX gave her a contract so insulting they knew she would refuse it.

(847 posts)That seems to be the current thinking. They (like Jindal) think the crazies in the party are costing them elections (which is true). Problem is the crazies won't stay silent and many of the most crazy one's have tv and radio shows. This move will be symbolic.

"I havent watched Fox since 2008 or by mistake in a hotel room here and there while on the road. Its all a joke now in terms of the LSM. FR and Rush are pretty much all I need." (Wow, to actually think people see Rush Limbaugh as a better source than Fox Boobs????)
"Well....good for her. She probably sees Fox careening to the left like we all do."
