I have been thinking about the past week and trying to connect dots and making sense of the Palin situation.
Two stories that broke the night before she said she wasn't going to run really stick in my mind.
Nicole Wallace told TIME that Sarah Palin was the inspiration for a female VP candidate who was crazy and mentally ill.
Roger Ailes came out and said that the only reason he hired Palin is because she is hot and got ratings.
Both stories were equally disgusting. My question to all of my good FReinds out there is this. Do you think these two stories were a factor in Governor Palin deciding not to run ?
And how big of a factor was Joe McGinness ?
That kind of thing has been happening every week for the last 3 years.
I believe that book written by that a-wipe had a lot to do with her not running.
I suspect that one of the things he wrote was true, and she didnt want any more of it.
Its a damned shame though.
“only reason he hired Palin is because she is hot and got ratings”
That’s the only reason Ailes hires anyone.
Except for the leftist hacks he hires like BOR & Leftard Smith.
Not from Roger Ailes (her boss at FNC), who like it or not has a lot of political power.

I think she was told by the PTB that it’s Mitts turn.
Wipe your eyes, blow your nose and GET OVER IT!
I am not obsessing, im just trying to figure it out. We don’t what events really had an impact and what did not.
“I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings,” can be taken two ways. Hot could mean everyone is talking about her. Then again it’s clear that Ailes doesn’t mind some eye candy. They don’t call it FOX News for nothing. Either way, it’s not disgusting. Are we supposed to pretend being good looking in media isn’t a plus? I don’t see Sarah getting offended, at least not enough to turn down the paycheck.
I don’t blame any conservative for not wanting to subject their family to the media’s conservative anal exam.
Thanks for posting this. It’s an interesting topic. I actually shed a few tears when I heard she was not running - I’m not ashamed to admit it.
I was appalled to find out that creepy Nicole Wallace (who I always confuse with Gail Collins - ugly hag lookalikes) had written a roman a clef a la Joe Klein’s book on the Clintons. What a cheap and disgusting way to make a buck!
My pet quack theory? Sarah dropped out of the race to make sure Wallace’s book bombed!
“Roger Ailes came out and said...”
Doesn’t seem like something the boss would say about someone that works for him. Maybe he didn’t say it. Maybe Sara’s about to leave Fox. I wish she would end her employment with Fox. Buddying around with Hannity and Beck isn’t completely compatible with her goal of being “independent”.
Hey, did Rush (distributed by Fox network) ever say anything about Palin’s withdrawal? As someone said before, that is mysterious. If he hasn’t said anything, that must also mean he isn’t taking calls about Palin.
lol. Ailes cracks me up. I love that guy.
Glad to hear it.
