"Fantastic! Yahoooo!!! Hip hip Hooray!! This should be the end of her run for the White House."

Don't dream. Fox News has shown throughout the last presidential election that there is no difference (for them) between politics and "news".

Further this keeps her fresh in the face of her demographic, stoking her own popularity and milking the Fox name. It's hard to think of a better move for her if she wants to be the Repuglican candidate for 2012.

I'm beginning to wonder if the whole dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks thing wasn't an act that backfired, rather than what's under the mask. This is a genius move and either shows she's smarter than she lets on, or has very very good handlers. Of course her constituents don't want her to be too smart, because smart people make them feel intimidated. Hence the act. They don't read (other than Danielle Steele novels) so they don't want their candidates to read, so Palin pretended she didn't read. I'm really rethinking her in the light of this announcement. And what comes up is far, far scarier than she appeared in the 2008 race (objects in Fox are scarier than they appear).

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

What a dingbat. I hope Fox teams her up with the Huck. They deserve each other.

Mad magazine shows her in costume as "Blunder Woman in 'Escape from Alaska!'" Zipping into the ionosphere she boasts, "The only way not to Fail is to Quit!"

The same journalists who got Harry Reid in hot water report that staffers had to brief Gov. P. on why there are two Koreas. Apparently when her soldier son went to Iraq while she was on the hustings, she had no idea who the enemy was supposed to be.

excerpt from Person Magazine:

A new TV season promises much to crumudgeon about. The seachange in programing is earth shaking and will be bigger than moving Leno back to Late nite.

A new TV show will feature an 'aproslitute' extrordinaire.
The all new FOX sparkling mega blockbuster that goes beyond fair and balanced with no spin or left wing biased commufascist propoganda.l than Pravda, Wall St. Journal or The New York Post. "It is not about mealy moutherate right wing propoganda" says Reverend Dobson.
However there are signs of progressive policies at the studio with the opening of the new day care center for young abstinence mothers.

The show promises to increase your blood circulation, if not your blood preassure, by daring to examine and discuss facts created just for this show. Other shows will fade out of sight like Oprah and The View compared to the all NEW TEA TIME WITH SARAH PALIN.
The anticipation is already at fever pitch especially since her first guest will be God. If all goes well he might become a holy Co-Host. I suspect that there will be a rotating co host to keep things new and fresh.

While it is not clear if the show will be weekly, daily or hourly, it will become a challenge for the producers and editors at FOX to mamage such a huge production. There is talk that Brian Seacrest might produce Tea Time which some think is a more upbeat choice than Roger Ailes.

Finding sponsors is no problem so far like it is at Glen Beck's show but in a surprising move both Lipton and Earl Grey have declined to advertise on the Sarah Palin show, but Weapon Manufacturers are clamoring to climb aboard. IT may be the first time we even get to see small arms companies advertising side by side with Boneva, Cialis and Budweiser.

We had one already, Ronald Reagan, and GWB made him look good (comparatively speaking, of course).

Jesse Ventura is the pro wrestler who was elected Governor of Minnesota. Now that his term's up he's got an "actuality" TV series (edited a little like Stone's "JFK") that blows the lid off such topics as why the government may have seen that special paint was used inside a WTC building to make the collapse more certain, how the Pentagon may have generated the 2004 tsunami, and how Manchurian Candidates, zombified here and abroad, may walk among us.

The former Governor intones, "I've seen confidential information! Classified documents! Top-secret files! And now...I'm ready to TALK!"

Through his hat, of course.

This is not a bad thing for the Democrats. It both makes Palin more likely to get the Republican nomination and less likely to increase her base of support among "moderate Republicans" and "Independents".

On the other hand, the best thing Fox could do would be to give her a sports show that once in a while covers politics. That would maximize her exposure and minimize her opportunities to screw up. Thank your lucky stars that Fox does not have the Superbowl this year.

BTW

Wouldn't a debate between Olbermann and Palin about sports be a fun diversion?

Republicans opt for the mega Hollywood star politician or even a B movie star yet they are the ones to cry foul when hollywood types throw in their two cents.

Shirley Temple, Sonny Bono, Ronnie, Arnold,
Alan Autry (Mayor of Fresno, California)
Raj Bhakta (Republican) (unsuccessful candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, Pennsylvania)
Sonny Bono (Republican) (U.S. Representative, 44th District of California)
Shirley Temple Black (Republican) (U.S. diplomat; Ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia, Chief of Protocol of the United States)
Clint Eastwood (Republican, but describes himself as Libertarian) (Mayor of Carmel, California)
Al Franken (Democrat) (U.S. Senator, Minnesota)
Helen Gahagan (Democrat) (U.S. Representative, 14th District of California)
John Gavin (Republican) (U.S. diplomat; Ambassador to Mexico)
Fred Grandy (Republican) (U.S. Representative, Iowa)
Ben Jones (Democrat) (U.S. Congressman, 4th District of Georgia)
Sheila Kuehl (Democrat) (California State Senator)
Nancy Kulp (Democrat) (unsuccessful nominee for U.S. House of Representatives, Pennsylvania)

Ronald Reagan (Republican) (Governor of California, President of the United States)
Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican) (Governor of California)
Jerry Springer (Democrat) (Mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio)
Fred Thompson (Republican) (U.S. Senator, Tennessee and unsuccessful presidential nominee))
Jesse Ventura (formerly Reform; currently Independence Party of Minnesota) (Governor of Minnesota)
Ralph Waite (Democrat) (unsuccessful nominee for U.S. House of Representatives)
Frank Britton Wenzel (Mayor of Malverne, New York)
and he's good enough, he's proud enough...Al Franken. DEMOCRAT?





Goodbye California. They are headed to not merely a magor fault line but a full scale default.
Once California was crippled by Enron by giving Enron 5 billions for trumped up phoney energy costs...its fate was sealed. IT will fail.
How can it be saved?
Arnold will take a bold action to save California from bankruptcy.
He can either sell shares to multinational corporations whose boards will act as the goverment. PErhaps Goldman Sachs, AIG or Bank of America could buy it.
or
He could sell California to China.

Chongo says this is a brilliant move by Sarah....and frankly, I think he's a bit envious. He's been trying for months to get a regular spot on Fox News himself to represent the Primate viewpoint.

I was down in my shop, thinking about Rig's comment that "he reads the party line on the air".
Now, I do disagree that it is that simple....I have heard him question 'party' lines numerous times, but I was thinking how recent it is that we even HAVE any liberalish commentators on the TV.
Just a few years ago, all I saw was Rush, Joe Scarborough, and the various shills on Fox. Someone even tried to use Al Franken as a 'funny' liberal pundit for several months, and it simply didn't sell. Franken can be either a comedian or a politician (it is not relevant whether you think he is good at either one), but he couldn't do both at the same time.

   Suddenly, there was MSNBC allowing well-done commentary to air and not only showing the liberal side of things, but poking holes in off-the-wall conservative BS to boot!
Then they found Rachel, and she (and an amazing staff!) began making the liberal alternative views clear, compelling...and sometimes, even funny! I still look into Fox now & then, because you can't debate your opponents wisely unless you are clear on just what they have said. MSNBC, sadly, doesn't do news much on the weekends, but maybe it's just as well...I'd never get any shop work done.

I agree that Rachel is the Liberal viewpoint on MSNBC.

Keith is poking at Obama about half as much as he poked as Bush, but he remains a critic of the government in power.

I suspect that there will never be part organ for the Democrats in the way that Fox is a party organ for the Republicans.

Fox News is part of News Corporation, a company with over 150 subsidiaries, the second largest media conglomerate and the world's largest entertainment conglomerate.
It is very profitable- don't knock it, buy its stock (NY Exchange).

"Sarah Palin should get a job on Fox, she'd be perfect - go on sarah, cash in while the goings good"

As is often the case, good satire is often outdone by reality.
