Sarah Palin can now see the unemployment line from her house. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I’ve just learned that Fox News Channel did not renew the contract with former Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Now would I stoop so low as to mock someone who has been a has-been for years and kick them while they’re down? You betcha! So, here are 10 reasons why Fox News fired Sarah Palin.
1) Palin got fired by Fox to prove that she is not a quitter.
2) Sarah was caught lip-syncing her rebuttal to Obama’s inauguration speech.
3) Compared to the new crop of conservatives, Sarah Palin is starting to sound like a liberal.
4) She wanted to spend time with her family, and find out which reality TV shows they could get her on.
5) People started referring to Palin as “that Tina Fey look-alike”.
6) Fox News may not care about Sarah Palin intellectual abilities, but they’ve certainly started to notice that she isn’t getting younger or prettier.
7) There were allegations of Palin doing the news-cycling using Performance Enhancing Drugs.
8) This was the only way for Palin to find the time to finally read her best-selling book.
9) The network position of “Former Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate Beaten In the Last Election” now rightfully belongs to Paul Ryan.
10) That’s the only way Palin can still get on the news today.
Well, what’s your favorite reason? Me, I like all of ‘em!
Reblogged this on thebigpicturereport ™.
Thank you for re-blogging. As you know, Palin needs all the exposure she can get.
I don’t care one way or another about Fox firing Sarah Palin, as long as they keep that one perpetually confused-looking blonde woman who keeps showing up in clips on the Daily Show.
Not having watched Fox (but plenty of Daily Show), I think I know who you are referring to. Yes, it would be a shame to lose her, and I am starting to worry for her because she’s only a couple years younger than Palin. Though even then the Daily Show shouldn’t have a problem finding footage of other confused-looking Fox anchors.
Spewed coffee with #7. Somehow the phrase ‘Performance Enhancing’ and Sarah Palin just don’t go together.
For Palin, enhanced performance is when she doesn’t refer to notes scribbled on her hand.
My fav is #6 because there is truth in that. She’s not going to be so hot in a few years, and even when they keep those old guys who don’t look so great themselves.
Yes, Fox only hires below-average looking old guys and Victoria Secret models, and Palin has now entered that time frame where she can’t be mistaken for either.
#8 is priceless. Finally she would have an answer for that damned Katie Couric!
I don’t think Palin wants to have an answer for Couric. One of the reasons she went to work on Fox is probably so that she’d never have to talk to anyone outside of Fox.
You have to admire Fox’s loyalty. I’m surprised they haven’t harvested her organs.
They could have, but they probably figured out that transplant of any one of her organ is not such a good idea – this organ could quit or go rogue at any time.
Shouldn’t all of them have read, “Because she’s stupid?”
Not for Fox News. As you may have noticed, Fox does not discriminate on the basis of mental competence.
Well, that’s what would make this newsworthy.
Using “Fox News” and “newsworthy” in the same sentence would be, in a word, newsworthy.
Does this mean I invented something?
I don’t know, but just to be safe you should patent it.
I’ll get to work on it right away.
6– because it’s probably true!!
Yes, that’s probably the most realistic of all.
Hard to pick just 1!!
Maybe the correct reason doesn’t really matter as much as the fact that even Fox finally got tired of her.
Has Sarah Palin spent more time by now as a reality TV figure than she has in politics? I actually thought she had more staying power as a broadcast blowhard than has proven true.
I don’t think this will be the last we’ll hear about Palin. I think she still has plenty of reality show potential left.
favorite? #6, and add “or blonder”.
Not getting blonder is actually a pretty easily problem to fix, just buy some hair dye. But you can’t fix not getting smarter.
#1, #2 and #5 are all pretty kick-ass!
Great job!
Thank you! (i think this may be an appropriate situation to just say “thank you” :)
**IF I get started on this topic it will be hard to get me OFF of it..I can be ugly when it comes to Palin (and I hate being ugly!) so since I’ve nothing nice to say…But, loved your list ! 2 thumbs UP
Thank you! I generally don’t have any nice things to say about Palin, but I think she made at least 2 right decisions: she did not run for President last year, and she quit governorship (and rid Alaska of herself a couple years ahead of schedule)
Lol! So very true…
1, 2, 9. #2 is very good. No need4u2fear repercussions: she can’t read either.
I am afraid she can read. There were confirmed reports of Sarah reading notes written on her hand.
‘ab-keddef-gajihkel-monop-quristuv-wixyz.’ That’s what was written on her hand: Big Bird’s alphabet.
The high level of interest in her candidacy was reflected in the volume of coverage that went her way. The authors found that the average number of stories a day in overall coverage was 36 for Palin, compared with 14.9 for Biden. On television, Palin was the subject of 8.8 stories a day compared with 4.6 for Biden; in newspapers, it was 15 compared with 8.2 stories a day, and on political blogs , 14.2 compared with 3.2 stories a day.
