Sarah Palin gets in the game

In one of the hilarious "Saturday Night Live" send-ups of Sarah Palin, Tina Fey -- playing the then-vice presidential candidate -- says, "If I'm not going to the White House I'm either running in four years or I'm going to be a white Oprah."

With today's announcement that Palin has signed on with Fox News Channel, the former Alaska governor is potentially on her way to achieving that goal. As The Post's Howard Kurtz notes, Palin will be able to take her Facebook floggings of political opponents (and Levi Johnston) to a much bigger platform.

Doing TV, Palin will learn how to think on her feet. She should get used to getting to the studio thinking that she's going to talk about one thing only to find out that she's talking about something else. She'll learn how to debate other people in a forum with no real ground rules. And if Palin gets boffo ratings with her occasional specials on people in what she might call the "real America," we can expect to see her star rise.(continued)

If these "elite" jourbalists are so smart, why can't they differentiate between Governor Sarah Palin and Tina Fey? Wonder how many executive decisions Jonathan and Howard have ever made?

This is a mocking piece at her....she will get the last word though

Awesome! I seem to remember a certain President who was very, very good. He was in Show Biz at one time, too. :)

I would take her advice over oprah’s

I'm sure she never learned that in Journalism school, or her time at a AK news station, not to mention the last 1.5 years or so of her life.

Tanks to the WaCommiePost, she'll be prepared for what to expect.

BO says she will start on his program tomorrow night! Bet his viewer number hit the roof! BO will claim it was because of him.

Speaking (If we must) of Oreilly; What a scumbag lowlife bunch of guests, other than Bernie Goldberg, he had on his show this evening. I had the TV over to my left on Mute, while working online, but could see the series of creeps BO had on the show going by, one-by-one - starting with that smartass know-nothing PhD from Penn, Lamont Hyphenated Windbag. When I saw Bernie Goldberg come on I took it off Mute, but BO talked over him and drowned out most of what HE had to say; so the show was a 98% waste! IMHO

This alliance between Palin and Fox will drive these liberals to new levels of anxiety, if that is possible.

Gotta love it.

Maybe right time to invest in drug company shares, many of these liberal effetes need something to get them through high stress days.

I hear ya. I find BOR unwatchable. Of course, I’ll be watching tomorrow (just the part with Sarah).

The lamestream media certainly hasn't been paying much attention. Palin is terrific thinking on her feet. The DBM's darling, zer0, won't say more than 5 words without a glance at a teleprompter or a printed speech.

Laura Ingraham was on for the segment about the First Frump and her wading into the political waters with regard to the health of kids....BOR said Michelle is like Jackie Kennedy, that she is glamorous and Laura interrupted and said “ I see you have bought into that whole thing....”
BOR gives wishy washy a bad name.
