So she’s signed a multimillion dollar contract with Fox knowing she would have to resign when it became official? SO she’s just keeping mum officially while taking the money and running unofficially. Lots of integrity there.

Do you know the terms of her contract with Fox? Are you familiar with every clause and stipulation it contains? Is she paid a flat annual fee, or is she paid per appearance? If it's a flat annual fee, is it guaranteed, or is it contingent upon a set number of appearances or contributions by her?

You don't know the answers to those questions, do you? Neither do I. For all we know, she could be paid per individual appearance. She is a contributor, after all, and not a regularly scheduled commentator or host. We have no idea whether she's drawing a paycheck from Fox or not.

That said, do you begrudge her the opportunity to earn a living while she's engaged in political activities? Sure, she sounds like a candidate on the stump lately, but not having actually announced her intention to run, it can't be said that she's violating the terms of her contract in any way.

The day that Newt announced, his contract with Fox was effectively suspended, but are you telling me that prior to that moment, he made no speeches, nor gave any indication of getting into the race? Should Fox have suspended his contract because they thought he was starting to look like he was running?
