Where do failed politicians go after they’ve been rejected by their electorate? It seems Fox News is their new destination.
To help ratings, Fox has been shifting the face of its commentators steadily more to the left in order to keep it more “fair and balanced.”
Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich, lost his gerrymandered district in Ohio and had to try a stab at a re-gerrymandered constituency that would never elect him.
The far left, camera whore/congressman, was said to have his eye on a new congress gig representing Washington state, but his magic carpetbagger ride was interrupted by lagging poll numbers.
But not to miss a paycheck, or camera time, Kucinich was scooped up by Fox where he can dazzle the viewers with his practiced, non answer answers, on many topical subjects.
Ex-Massachusetts Senator and Playgirl centerfold, Scott Brown, is the latest addition to the Fox contributor stable.
Brown, fresh off a humiliating defeat to a candidate who should have been shamed out of the campaign for abusing the system, rather than being coronated Senator of Massachusetts, can grace Fox viewers with his vanilla views on national politics.
Brown and Mitt Romney, both headquartered in Massachusetts, used the same political playbook as they waged their campaigns. Both of them seemed hesitant to answer back attacks waged on them and never took advantage of clear targets when it came to their opponents glaring weaknesses..........

Left turn, Clyde!
RINO Central or GOPe Net
I have stopped watching FNC. When they rehired Rove, that was it.
Also, zero contributions to the RNC. I will buy reloading supplies with the money.
Does that include Toyko Rove?
Does that include Tokyo Rove?
Yep.
Just another reason not to tune in.
Faux News? Won’t watch it . . . not no more . . . especially since they hired that worthless, unemployable, loudmouth, jackass Kook-cinish. There’s no reason in the world to have that little squirrely creep in the public eye.
But what the hell . . . they still have Hair-Waldo Rivera and that pillow biter, Shepard Smith . . . and that worthless loudmouth The Barf-itech Rove.
Basically, there’s no newschannel that’s worth watching . . . the closest to reality is 700 Club news and that’s about all. Unfortunately, Pat Robertson is still on there.
Where, oh where do I go for decent news?
I’m switching over to MSNBC.
Romney doesn’t need the money. Brown and Kucinich probably do.
Pravda? Dot RU?
SNL with Chevy Chase?
Look out the window in the morning?

Why not Olympia Snowe or her scallywag sister?

Sorry . . . not sure what you're driving at.
Well, call me an early-bird, because I gave up FoxNews well over a year-and-a-half ago, when I noted it dropping its generic, grassroots-friendly voice and transforming into such an establishment/beltway mouthpiece for the RINO faction. Before this, it was hardly perfect, but at least it was somewhat open to tea-party/social/border issues and mid-American concerns. After the 2010 mid-terms, they dropped all that, started treating Palin and Newt like crap, and just overall became the beltway-centric “Rove” Network. Vacuous cheerleading for D.C. Rino’s.
It’s really horrid now, judging from my brief forays. In fact, it looks now almost like the GOP-E equivalent of what MSNBC has been for the Dems. Really sad to see it like it is now. I used to have the channel on all the time, going back to its beginning.
....zero contributions to the RNC. I will buy reloading supplies with the money.....
Excellent advice for everyone! Give directly to your choice of candidates.
How about The Blaze TV? But when Beck starts crying or overdoing the shtick, he can be tough to take too.
Yep, this is their fair and balanced which is a big fat joke.
To hell with faux news.I only watch beck.
Now you know why he didn’t run for Kerry’s Senate seat in MA .
