Murdoch appointed her as news analyst on Fox. I guess not everybody will find this hilarious, but I do.

No - this is a cunning neo-con plot to put them out of business.Dembadon said:I am actually more excited to watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on her broadcast days. They'll certainly have a great deal more material after she's up and runnin'.
Ben Niehoff said:I move that the title of this thread be changed to "Sarah Palin found something to do".
I found it useful how she helps to clarify the concept of "fair and balanced" :tongue2:Ben Niehoff said:I move that the title of this thread be changed to "Sarah Palin found something to do".
Newai said:From governor to news analyst, and two years from now, coffee filter tester.
mgb_phys said:I thought Ms. Palins defeat was blamed on the bias of the elite media - and then she joins the premier American News broadcaster
I think Carrie Prejean would be a better choice, but that's just me.rewebster said:now all fox has to do is make Jessica Simpson as Palin's co-host/co-analyst, and the picture would be complete
Cyrus said:This one is smarter than you people give her credit for. Next time she's up for election she's going to know the issues much better, and she gets air time every single day in the process while being paid. Smart move on her part.
No, she gets credit for being a lot smarter than she is. According to Steve Schmidt (McCain's campaign manager), she thought the Iraqi government planned the WTC attacks, didn't know that North Korea and South Korea were separate countries, and thought the the entire continent of Africa was a country. After switching colleges 6 times in 6 years, we might expect some gaps in her knowledge, but this is ridiculous. Schmidt says that if she is the GOP candidate in 2012, it would be catastrophic for the party. He knows her intellectual limitations, probably better than anyone, since he and her other handlers had to work overtime to prepare her for even the most basic public statements.Cyrus said:This one is smarter than you people give her credit for.

Dembadon said:I thought the whole reason she resigned from being Gov. was to get away from "politics as usual." Would it not be enormously hypocritical to then run again? I am surprised that she even joined such a strongly biased "news network" and, in my opinion, placed huge emphasis on just how ludicrous and disingenuous her reason for resignation was in the first place.
Yes, I read it and parsed it thoroughly to try to figure out what you meant. Palin is sly, back-biting, and mercenary, and is shamelessly self-promoting, and she can make a ton of money off the celebrity granted her by McCain's ill-conceived VP choice. That does not mean that she is smart. Her "intelligence" is highly over-stated in the face of glaring evidence to the contrary.Cyrus said:Did you read what I wrote? Obviously not.
Cyrus said:You are naive then, because you believe what comes out of her mouth. You really think she left because of "politics as usual"? She is politics as usual.Dembadon said:I thought the whole reason she resigned from being Gov. was to get away from "politics as usual." Would it not be enormously hypocritical to then run again?

Greedy, crafty, willing to quit her obligations when there is money to be made? Yes. Smart? Not unless you are a Ferengi, and measure greatness in money.

lisab said:What I do hear is many, many comments on her intelligence, and she has not effectively refuted them.
But lack of intelligence isn't a character flaw either; rather, it's an inadequate foundation from which to lead.
