Sarah Palin to Contribute to Fox News
NYT ^ | Jan. 11, 2010 | Jim Rutenberg

Posted on 01/11/2010 9:55:13 AM PST by Al B.

Former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska has signed on as a contributor to the Fox News Channel.

The network confirmed that Ms. Palin will appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multi-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person familiar with the deal said, though she will host an occasional series that will run on the network from time to time. This person would not elaborate, but the network does have a precedent for such a series. Oliver L. North is the host of an occasionally running documentary series on the military called “War Stories.”

Many suspected that when Ms. Palin retired as the governor of Alaska last summer she was doing so to pursue some sort of career in television. The Fox News deal, however, would not seem to be all encompassing, and would appear to give her room for other pursuits, as well.

Huckabee has his own show. Newt is considered a fox news contributor, I believe. Nothing preventing these two from being potential presidential candidates.

I'm sure they could own football teams too, but Sarah is like a female Rush Limbaugh, in terms of liberal hatred. In other words, she's in a special category. I think much crying and nashing of teeth might take place.

The best part is when Fox’s ratings rise due to her appearances the libs will bitch and moan and be confused why it happened. (while they tune in to watch)

Did Huckabee sign with some television network?

Sorry, I don't keep up with what he does.

Sounds like she will play kingmaker instead of going for the prize herself.

Huckabee has a regular show on Fox, in which he plays a guitar and sort of embarrasses himself.

And frankly, it’s kept him polling strong in likely 2012 candidates - I think this is a (very) good move for Palin, and for Fox.

That doesn’t sound like “declaring for the presidency” to me.

I don't have any heartburn over this as long as its occasional like Newt and several other politicans (Rudy also contributes on Fox occasionally, too). I would think otherwise if she hosted a program like the Huckster.

So, apparently there might be something to last summer’s rumors that the Palin’s were looking at real estate on Long Island.

Will need more GB capacity on my DVRs!

Palin / Bachmann 2012 !!

Speaking of, wouldn't it be great if she were to sub for... say Beck or O'Reilly, and have Michelle on as a guest!
