This is really hilarious. Palin is now the most popular and respected politician in the country, and she is too busy doing important things to go on the talking head shows. They must be feeling a little irrelevant at the moment.
Yes, but there's more. In addition to all that's been pointed out so far in this thread (which makes me smile all by itself), there's something else:
Fox News beat *network* news in audience size for showing the RNC. That's *never* happened before. Cable has never beaten all of the networks.
So now the *network* talking head shows have to wonder if Sarah is going to go on a Fox show...and bump up Fox above the Networks' ratings.
Which means that they want her for more than just ideology and partisan gain now...they've got something that they value even more than Democratic Party talking points and kudos: their careers.
If Fox starts regularly beating the network news, then all of the advertising is going to go in a big Dollar way over to Fox...putting many network TV personnel out of work and irrelevant.
So the network shows are sweating. They've so over-extended themselves attacking Governor Palin that they've put their very jobs on the line...and they are only just now realizing the extent of the self-damage they've inflicted upon themselves.
"Is she going to do Fox and not us?!" they're asking each other...and they don't like what may be the answer now.
