Sarah Palin will finally have the opportunity to share her views. From NYT Media Decoder:

Former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska has signed on as a contributor to the Fox News Channel.

The network confirmed that Ms. Palin will appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multi-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.


(It's probably a totally reasonable amount of money though.)

Many suspected that when Ms. Palin retired as the governor of Alaska last summer she was doing so to pursue some sort of career in television. The Fox News deal, however, would not seem to be all encompassing, and would appear to give her room for other pursuits, as well.

Like make even more money headlining tea bagger events like the upcoming National Tea Party Convention, where everyday, ordinary Americans will pay $549 to help save other everyday, ordinary Americans from the scourge of health insurance.

    GOOD FOR HER, however I find it odd she's joining FN when in the past she has repeatedly spoken out against the media and what it has done to her. Are we to STILL believe ANYTHING that comes out of her mouth, the money must really be good on this contract. She's is becoming more and more of a joke. Again good for her.

    That would be networks like NBC MSNBC ect, All the ones that smeared her and her family. You people can say what you want to say about her,but I can tell you this much after reading the first few chapters of her book she' didn't have an easy life growing up and she's a lot tougher than you might think.

    I don't agree with her quitting her job as governer and I wouldn't vote for her as president either. But that doesn't mean I hate her like some of you do.

    Palin didn't write that book. Look in it and you'll notice that it says nowhere that she authored it.

    Where do get the idea some of us hate SP? I certainly don't I just don't want someone who wants to be a political leader who quits her job running ANY office. So we disagree with we must then hate her come on you can do better than that.

    i don't hate her, like others i just think she's a joke and dislike someone who has a habit of making up absurd claims, like death panels, and pushing them as fact being on a so called news network.

    i don't hate her, i just think she is a moron who is unqualified for anything other than just sitting there using her hand as a paperweight and her butt as a chair warmer...

    i thought i read somewhere that she had a ghost writer for this book? i remember thinking she should have really gone rogue and written the thing herself...

    I don't hate her either, I like her for being strong willed, but she was completely unqualified as candidate for VP, and deserves no respect for quitting her job and leaving the people of Alaska high and dry. I also hate how she used her child with Down syndrome to get the DS community vote. Disgusting.

    I hate her with every ounce of my being. You want to talk about a dishonest politician, the broad lives in her own world and has no sense of reality or the English language. She wants the public and media to leave her family alone yet she uses her daughter and special needs kid as props. Fuck her. I could go on and on.

    And you want to say she had a tough life growing up, I don't give a flying fuck so did Obama.

    At least this now makes her even less credible, if that was possible.

    That would require her to be capable of putting together a complete sentence.

    I agree with her 100% on this issue.

    President Obama’s meeting with his top national security advisers does nothing to change the fact that his fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed. We are at war with radical Islamic extremists and treating this threat as a law enforcement issue is dangerous for our nation’s security. That’s what happened in the 1990s and we saw the result on September 11, 2001. This is a war on terror not an “overseas contingency operation.” Acts of terrorism are just that, not “man caused disasters.” The system did not work. Abdulmutallab was a child of privilege radicalized and trained by organized jihadists, not an “isolated extremist” who traveled to a land of “crushing poverty.” He is an enemy of the United States, not just another criminal defendant.

    It simply makes no sense to treat an al Qaeda-trained operative willing to die in the course of massacring hundreds of people as a common criminal. Reports indicate that Abdulmutallab stated there were many more like him in Yemen but that he stopped talking once he was read his Miranda rights. President Obama’s advisers lamely claim Abdulmutallab might be willing to agree to a plea bargain – pretty doubtful you can cut a deal with a suicide bomber. John Brennan, the President’s top counterterrorism adviser, bizarrely claimed “there are no downsides or upsides” to treating terrorists as enemy combatants. That is absurd. There is a very serious downside to treating them as criminals: terrorists invoke their “right” to remain silent and stop talking. Terrorists don’t tell us where they were trained, what they were trained in, who they were trained by, and who they were trained with. Giving foreign-born, foreign-trained terrorists the right to remain silent does nothing to keep Americans safe from terrorist threats. It only gives our enemies access to courtrooms where they can publicly grandstand, and to defense attorneys who can manipulate the legal process to gain access to classified information.

    President Obama was right to change his policy and decide to send no more detainees to Yemen where they can be free to rejoin their war on America. Now he must back off his reckless plan to close Guantanamo, begin treating terrorists as wartime enemies not suspects alleged to have committed crimes, and recognize that the real nature of the terrorist threat requires a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor.

    You really believe she wrote this all by herself? So she didn't know why the Cold War took place but she has this kind of insight into Terrorism? Don't fool yourself.
