She’s back. That would be former Alaskan half-term governor and former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, of course.
She is back on Fox News. Evidently the folks over at Fox didn’t think they were fair and balanced enough toward the Republican side of the aisle.
Of course, not all Republicans are happy with Palin’s return. Gearing up for the 2014 congressional races and the 2016 presidential race, the last thing moderate Republicans want is to remind everyone why they didn’t vote for the Republican ticket in 2008. With the exception of folks in red states or congressional districts, Palin doesn’t do Republicans any favors, especially with independent voters.
Former Florida full-term Gov. Jeb Bush, for example, can’t be happy. During Palin’s first appearance back on Fox’s morning show, “Fox and Friends,” Palin took Bush to task for his support of immigration reform. Bush, the smart son in the family, understands that without an effort to bring Hispanics into the Republican Party, especially in places like his home state of Florida, the White House becomes an increasingly difficult goal for Republican candidates.
This, however, is of no concern for Palin. She will be paid more than $1 million per year from Fox News to play her traditional role as the far-right Alaskan mama bear. Palin will collect her salary regardless of who sits in the White House and, after all, it is all about her.
A return to television also gives Palin the opportunity to spread the news about her books so she can make millions more without holding a real job. “I’m writing a book about Christmas and pushing back on the politically correct who have tried to take Christ out of Christmas ... at the same time a very festive and happy and jolly book about tradition and recipes and fun things about Christmas,” stated Palin to her friends on Fox during her very first appearance.
Indeed, nothing brings Christ back into Christmas more than Sarah Palin getting rich on a book about how Christ has been taken out of Christmas. I hope all of Fox’s corporate sponsors, who make billions replacing the baby in the manger with the old man on the sled, were paying attention.
I’m just guessing, but I suppose that her next book will be about how liberals invented the Easter Bunny in order to take Christ out of Easter. Actually, Palin could write a book about how she gets out of bed in the morning and her tea party followers would pay to read it. The lady is a cash machine.
Speaking of not-so-bright politicians, Republicans in the state to our north, Pennsylvania, are slashing state funding for public education to the bone. They are doing the same thing in North Carolina. I guess their strategy to win elections in the future is to keep the voting public uneducated. This way, it is much easier to convince people that women can’t get pregnant when raped, that global warming is a hoax and that evolution is a theory on par with creationism.
Seriously, ever wonder why when Republicans take over a county, city or state, the first thing they cut is public education for our children?
Palin, of course, did go to college. Actually, she attended five colleges in six years before graduating from the University of Idaho with a degree in journalism. While some may think that she has a problem finishing anything she starts, I call her persistent. Perhaps that is why she is back on Fox News. After dropping out five months ago, she is back to finish what she started. Maybe she is setting the stage for a run for the White House in 2016. Actually, I’m dreaming of a presidential race between Palin and former Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Now that would bring some fun back into politics.
She really does live in their small collective heads rent-free, 24/7, doesn’t she...?
Amazing how afraid they are of her.
“...so next best thing is to destroy the next up-and-coming threat to us RINOS.”...”
I’m inclined to agree with you... there is nothing in the actions of McCain & Co. to dispel that idea.
The only way these Libs get attention on an article is to attack a conservative. I just hope by that name that he’s not Italian.
thats the carroll co. PICAyUNE times
HEY ZIRPY what say GOV. SARAH sends you a dozen of her high heels and you give em nice spit shine...at least THEN you’d be doing SOMETHING for the good of yer country...as things stand a lot of people think yer a putz in the patriot dept.....thanks for playin’
Zirpoli sounds like a fudgepacker.
“The lady is a cash machine.”
Ha! Bet that burned when he typed it...hehe :)
Sorry, because as much as I appreciate your postings, I have to pass on those that try to message 'their' readers with this tripe!!
Tom...what have you done with your journo degree.
You sound jealous.
Palin, of course, did go to college. Actually, she attended five colleges in six years before graduating from the University of Idaho with a degree in journalism.Is he sure he wants to go there?
At least there are actual public records of her attendance...There are probably even people who saw her there...Know what I mean Tom Zirpoli dimwit?
Starts off with a lie, saying Palin was the reason republicans didn’t vote for the ticket in 2008.
She was the ONLY reason we voted, and many of us did so with the sincere hope that something would happen to render a Pres. McCain completely disabled so she could be de facto President.
LOL! Thanks for that info, it's good to hear - I didn't even click on the link.
Bet you couldn’t survive a day in the wild.
And, maybe, not even behind the screen - I bet he visualizes a few hands reaching for him through the 'puter screen and needing a diaper change and demanding security and sleeping pills. A 'one day journalist'.
Her contract was up.
Did she contact them and offer to come back for less money?
Are you nuts? Ailes came crawling back to her.
I used to think the morning crew on Fox News was very conservative; this morning specifically they basically sounded like if you were against the immigration/amnesty bill you were foolish. My gosh, I’m living in Atlas Shrugged Part II.
Indeed. The newsmedia tracked down any and every person whose path ever crossed with Palin, no matter how slightly, including her college years (in their desperation to dig up any dirt). The LA Times and WA Post had slews of interviews, and it was almost amusing how typical and mundane they were. In college, Palin was bright, religious, low-key, and would piningly talk about graduating and starting a journalism career and marrying her sweetheart Todd back in Alaska. Those interviews didn’t get much attention at the time, but they were interesting to read, and actually painted a rather nice picture of Palin.
Fact checking complete...
Not NEARLY as much as I get; exposing facts about MORMONism!
There is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed...
