"Palin's New In-Home TV Studio - Compliments of Fox"
[
Okay, folks, the plot thickens. I know a lot of us in the blogosphere have been
making bets on how long Palin will be tolerated on Fox -- I mean, seriously,
even Fox has its standards. Sort of. But the fact, as recently reported by the
NY Times, that Palin will soon have a television studio built in her living room
in Wasilla, compliments of Fox News, sort of puts the lie to the notion that her
tenure on Fox will be short-lived.

I can think of a few reasons Fox might do this -- none of them altruistic. The
obvious one, that they are trying to afford Palin the honor of appearing on Fox
without actually traveling to the lower 48, seems a little too . . . nice for
Fox. What I'm thinking is that, if Palin makes a run at the presidency in 2012,
Fox will have an opportunity to kind of back her as a candidate without actually
backing her as a candidate -- although, with the new Supreme Court ruling on
campaign finance, I guess it could throw gobs of dollars at her (although it
would have to disclose its spending). As reported by ABC in October 2007, when
reporting on Stephen Colbert's potential "joke" candidacy, ". . . [N]o precedent
exists for a television network promoting and fostering a candidacy of one of
its own talk-show hosts, said Lawrence M. Noble, a former general counsel for
the Federal Election Commission . . . ."

CBS had problems with Pat Paulsen--and they did NOT build a
studio for him to run for President of the United States.
And Palin is not as well-qualified for the position.

Infinitely better qualified than President Wee-Wee.

So, you are saying that she is better qualified than no one.

Good to hear you say that.

You know, this shows why the Democrats are so scared of Senator
Brown. He's been talked about as a possible Presidential Candidate,
even though the election is only 2 years off. Of course,the 2012
campaigns all start after the mid-term election in November. Say,
that's what about nine months from now. That's more than 174 days....

> Of course..she was Governor of Alaska.

Before that, she was mayor. That's like being a community
organizer, only with responsibilities.

Editor of a Law Review, at a Ivy League University. Sources
report that he barely even phoned it in.

Thanks, Wes. All I can do is thank Crom that I don't watch TV any
more. With worthless shit like that on all 500 channels, 24 hours a
day, I'm not wasting my time.

It'll be 3 years in April, and I so, so do NOT miss it. I can get
House, MD on DVD from Netflix with absolutely no commercials. What
more could a guy ask for? (OK, _this_ year's House would be good.)
