Fox News Dumps Sarah Palin, Upgrades to a Furby with a Wig on It
Well, Sarah Palin's three-year contract as a contributor at Fox News is finally up, and, strangely enough, they've decided not to re-up. Palin is out. I honestly have no idea why—is it their stringent adherence to journalistic ethics? Their disdain for self-aggrandizing liars? Their reluctance to heap airtime upon lunatic anti-gay bigots? LOLOLOLOLOLOLLLOOOLOLLLOLOLL. No. It certainly cannot be any of those things. So, I guess, they just didn't like that jerk.
The onetime Republican vice-presidential candidate will not be returning to the cable network as a contributor, a role she first landed in January 2010 after stepping down as governor of Alaska.
"We have thoroughly enjoyed our association with Governor Palin," Bill Shine, an executive vice president at Fox, said in a statement Friday. "We wish her the best in her future endeavors."
Her contract had ended this month and her last appearance on the network was in mid-December.
Palin, 48, received mixed reviews as a pundit, mainly along partisan lines, but she continues to be lightning rod for conversation no matter what she does. For instance, she's spent months in the Hollywood spotlight in absentia thanks to the success of the HBO movie Game Change.
When reached for comment, Poo-chai, the beige Furby who will be taking over Palin's slot, was guarded and humble in his remarks: "Dah a-loh nah bah," he said, "Dah doo-ay. Dah lee-koo koo-wah! Hey boo loo-loo. A-loh doo? Dah noh-lah. Doo-moh may-lah kah!" Doo-moh may-lah kah indeed, Poo-chai. Doo-moh may-lah kah indeed
