Sarah Palin joins Fox News

I said in an earlier post that she could team up with Glenn Beck and they could both spin their heads around making up nonsense theories about the end of the world like the crazy people they are.
I saw the full hour Beck did with Palin. I don't know. She was good. He was a little too fawning, and self-congratulatory, and celebrative of the way the two of them get picked on. It was a good watch though. They sat in a restaurant with the statue of liberty in the background. I'll bet there's snips posted at youtube by your guys. There's bits they'd like to point at, and feel above. There's one where Glenn and Sarah talk about their faith. Beck had some sort of throat infection, so there's parts where it sounds like he's breaking up.
$1:
Bill O'Reilly seems to have turned slightly more sane over the past few months. Possibly because he might have realised that they hired a guy from the loony bin to replace him as the craziest person on FOX.
Sarah did segments with the big 3 on Fox. I posted the bit with O'Reilly earlier. You know who she was best with? Hannity. They more or less just discussed the political events of the day, and what she would be doing on Fox. I think she'll be doing the drop-in pundit thing with those other 3, and also her own special reports. But, yeah, my favorite is Hannity. They have good chemistry. Very professional, yet entertaining.
I'm going to be surprised if Sarah runs in 2012. Why would she want to? She's seems to be having a great time doing what she's doing, and she has political influence where she is. All she's doing right now is rope-a-doping negative attention from the left towards her while genuine stars make their way quietly up through the ranks. People like Scott Brown, Mark Rubio, and Sue Lowden get a pass, because the left is still frothing at the mouth over Sarah.

Good place for her. Now if only they'd swap FoxNews and BBC Canada in their packages, so I'd have to pay to watch Fox and got BBC Canada free, I'd be happy.

I would have put Sara PAlin on the 700 CLub. That way when the men in the white coasts are straight jacket come to haul Pat Robertson off to the "Funny Farm/enchanted kingdom/Happy Home" (forgive th enon-PC tone) where he belongs they can pick her up at the same time.

Hey the package you want is exactly the one they give us on the West Coast. I'd swap you gladly.
Doesn't really matter though. I finally got desperate enough to break my personal boycott of Microsoft spy...er...I mean software, and downloaded the MS thing - I think it's called silverlight - necessary to watch Fox News online.
I got two surprises. Turns out Silverlight is no problem at all. No signing up for DRM, or anything. It looks to be just a little codec.
Also Fox news isn't what I thought it was. I only knew it previously from what I'd seen on YouTube, and the interpretation of the vocal Fox haters online. Now that I've seen the whole thing, I don't get what the fuss is all about. Really the only thing that's maybe bitchable is Glenn Beck's shtick (and personally I find that entertaining). There's a couple more right wing flavored pundits with hour shows. So what. It balances out people like Sanchez, King, and Cafferty on CNN, not to mention all the other leftie commentators elsewhere. Greta Van Susstern on Fox seems more or less fair. She kind of equates to Wolf on CNN. I find the actual news portion of Fox news less biased than the crap I was stuck with on CNN, and they cover stuff I wouldn't otherwise see. Also I don't expect to see anything like the 3 solid weeks of homage to a pedophile I was stuck with on CNN after Michael Jackson died.
I never felt qualified to venture an opinion on Fox news before, because I'd never actually seen it. I do now though, now that I've actually seen it. I like it.
Anybody else in the similar dillema of never actually having seen Fox News, yet being stuck with the strong opinion presented as fact forced upon you by those who don't want you attaching credibility to Fox? Would you like to see the network for yourself, and make up your own mind?

I'm surprised they'd use the Statue of Liberty like that. After all, it's French!

Funny you should mention that Zip. Glenn and Sarah get into that whole French and the Statue of Liberty thing at about the 4:50 mark of this section.

One thing I'm pretty sure you won't find Sarah doing with her new status as a pundit for Fox.
She won't be doing what MNBC's Ed Shultz just did.
He endorsed cheating to keep Republican Scott Brown from being elected in Massachusetts.

Wow.

The only Fox channels we have here are Fox Crime and FX......I feel so deprived.
