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.

Normally a potential political candidate would have to pay good money to get national (world) network exposure before jumping in the ring. Here she gets all that, and gets paid for it. And I'm sure she has an out clause.
:)
Please point out the negative comments I have made about her on this thread.
Yes but they will live :-)....
And Roger Ailes will be laughing all the way to the bank as the biggest audience will be the moonbats in their bathrobes in their parents basement blogging about it!!!!
I don't have an opinion yet as to it the political dynamics for her, I need to cogitate on it.
News that may be big for interested FReepers!
Sarah Palin to Contribute to Fox News
ROTFLOL!
No problem. Did he run around yelling and waving his arms?
But hey you got the meaning, so thats good.
Wasn’t it the same robot in several programs?
LiS is in reruns sometimes on TVLand.
Ok, really what show was he called Robby?
And all the liberals will be obsessed to watch Palin which will drive Fox News' ratings through the roof.
Great move by the next President of the United States.
Keeps her in the public eye, energizes conservatives, and gives Sarah a platform to refute lies by the MSM and Dems.
Bing!
Make that Bingo! with an o.
Me too. Thought I had rid myself of this "conventional politics" prism. Maybe I haven't...LOL.
Can’t wait for her first Red Eye appearance.
And her chance to speak about conservative candidates for 2010.
It would be cool to see her do a series of contributions on the Constiution on how it applied then and how it applies to us today.
Take for instance the 1st Amendment and the freedom of religion. Have some video of her in church and synagogue services but nothing at a mosque. She would explain that she didn’t go to the mosque because women aren’t allowed. She’d really piss off the jihadis! She could even show up at a old order Amish church service and explain to the American public that they don’t take welfare of any kind such as SS, Medicare/Medicaid, etc. That’ll really tick off the Leftists!
Then a segment on the 2nd Amendment. Show her at civilian and military firearms ranges firing pistols, shotguns, and those evil assault rifle-like semi-auto rifles. Then throw in some full auto at the military ranges. She could advocate full auto civilian ownership like the Swiss have and no-permit-necessary concealed carry in states like Alaska and Vermont (and possibly Iowa in the near future?). She could teach about how firearms ownership keeps the thugs in check and how you can refuse to be a victim by owning an equalizer. You’d see women buying firearms like there is no tomorrow!
How about cultural profiling at the airports? She could do a segment on how successful the Israelis are at stopping terrorism since 1969.
Anyone have any other ideas on the kinds of segments she could do on FOX?
