Report: Palin parts ways with Fox News
posted at 6:51 pm on January 25, 2013 by Allahpundit
Her choice, not theirs, according to a source who spoke to RCP.
After a three-year run as a paid contributor to the nation’s highest-rated cable news channel, Sarah Palin and FOX News have cut ties, according to a source close to the former Alaska governor.
“It’s my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement,” the source close to Palin told RCP. “She remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism across the country and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion.”
The source declined to say whether Palin would pursue a television contract with another news network, such as CNN.
Not surprising given what happened last year at the convention, although the Times claims she and Fox were negotiating a new contract as recently as last week. Maybe she has another offer on the table that’s sweeter than theirs?
My first thought when I read the RCP piece was that Mark Begich is up for reelection next year and is already preparing for a strong conservative challenge, but NRO’s Robert Costa tweets some skepticism:
About Sarah Palin leaving Fox News: After spending day talking w/ Alaskans, I doubt she’s running for anything. Hear she lives mostly in AZ
— Robert Costa (@robertcostaNRO) January 25, 2013
I thought challenging Begich, a weak blue incumbent in a very red state, was her best bet back to political office, but maybe she’s transitioned to Arizona now. (Costa hears that she’s still occasionally in touch with Joe Miller, who appears to be planning to challenge Begich himself.) If not politics, then what? Hard to believe she’d trade Fox for CNN. Maybe … Glenn Beck’s network, The Blaze? It had 300,000 online subscribers as of last summer and must have many more now, especially since Dish Network started airing it in September. And Beck’s aggressively trying to promote it, from making a bid on Current TV to gain a platform on basic cable to opening foreign bureaus in hopes of becoming a sort of libertarian alternative to Fox. She’d instantly raise the network’s profile and bring in new viewers. And there’s plenty of room on the programming schedule for her: The channel currently airs from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET with a two-hour block free from 2-4 so they could give her her own show if that’s what she has in mind. If I had to bet, I’d bet that’s where she goes.

I have to look again. Have to pick something appropriate:-)
I wish HA would update their blog. Avatars!!! Smileys!!!

Crap still forgot. Mine.

Did anyone see the commenter coldwarrior’s posts on this HA thread:
http://hotair.com/archives/2013/02/13/video-rand-paul-gives-the-tea-party-sotu-response/
I thot he made some valid points and something to consider.
I walked away from the GOP after the GOP stood by and watched, saying nothing, as the MSM eviscerated the former GOP VP candidate within weeks after the 2008 election was over.
Loved that comment!!
bluefox on February 13, 2013 at 11:00 PM
Awesome! I’ll have to decide. All these food items are making me hungry again. We need a restaurant, LOL
bluefox on February 13, 2013 at 11:04 PM
Opinionator, something to make you laugh on your B-day.
Bmore on February 13, 2013 at 11:08 PM
Hey Fallon, Can we pick from here too?

Well it’s not my B.D., but ROFL!!!
bluefox on February 13, 2013 at 11:18 PM
If Fallon lets us expand our options, I may upgrade. ; ) I have my eye on one.

Congratulations, bluefox, on reaching 3,000.

Two ass holes. Ha.
steebo77 on February 14, 2013 at 3:28 AM
What do you all think of Kristi noem?
Conservative women like her and Marsha Blackburn, Nikki Haley and others should be given more attention. These are actually competent women who should be getting more attention, not clowns like Palin.

Happy Valentines to all. It’s gonna be a great day.
She’s baaaaaaaack!!!!! I suspect more people read her tweets the other night, than ever saw her on fox.
Rev your engines folks.
renalin on February 14, 2013 at 7:14 AM
Happy Belated Birthday, OP! I hope you had a great day yesterday and a Happy Valentine’s Day today.
Yum. Sounds like we have quite a few good cooks here. We are not gonna starve at the Gulch.
Happy Valentine’s Day everbody!
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 8:12 AM
I think Coldwater gets an engraved invitation to the Gulch for that one.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 8:25 AM
LOL Didn’t see that coming.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 8:26 AM
Sure. Someone left a credit card out the other night on a QOTD thread. I picked quietly it up after Scrumpy brought it back. You guys can pick whatever you want.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 8:28 AM
I didn’t even notice that at first, lol. Whoo hooo!
Bmore, it looks like you got the honor, this time. Must have been the Spartan costume that did it.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 8:32 AM
not only the left, but the establishment gop.
http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/cheney-on-rubio-im-a-big-fan-87625.html
now we see how the bush, rove and cheney, all coalescing around a candidate who supports amnesty=open borders.
these are the obstacles Sarah has faced. I wish she would remove the shackles of the republican party and go rogue.
renalin on February 14, 2013 at 9:08 AM
…FEEL the love Sarah!
…Happy Valintines Day!
…to everyone!
KOOLAID2 on February 14, 2013 at 9:53 AM

We’ll be serving up Grizzly Bear tacos and Polar Bear cookies tonight at the Gulch for all who stop by.
This reminded me of Bmore’s whirlygigg.

Really steebo77? Well that is great and thanks for keeping score for us!!

Happy Valentines Day, ALL !
My wife got me a gift last night . . . . . . a book by the name of “America By Heart“.

LOL We are committed!!
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 12:18 PM
Your post reeks of empty-headed sexism. Why group these people together, but for their anatomy?
Kristi Noem seems like a lightweight backbencher perfectly willing to be used by the House leadership in their hollow attempts to placate the Tea Party members. Marsha Blackburn is awesome in almost every way imaginable. Nikki Haley has (had?) a lot of promise, but so far seems to be a fairly lackluster governor.
Palin is not a clown, but you are a clownfish. I think I’ll start calling you Nemo.
steebo77 on February 14, 2013 at 12:25 PM
On your burnout. I think we all have those days or longer. Best to try to concentrate on the good news, i.e. Sarah, Cruz and the other good guys. We already know the bad news.
Hang in there Mr. Kool!!!!
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 12:26 PM
Sarah unplugged again!! Gotta love it.

I have to switch computers. Just installed all of Windows updates and that combined with HA threads is not working well at all!

bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 12:39 PM
I agree! Haven’t see this person too often on HA. However I think I may know them from another site. Have to do some checking
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 12:56 PM
Oh, isn’t it great when you get a surprise gift and you love it?
That is an in tune wife:-)
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 12:59 PM
LOL I guess I had Rubio water on the brain, lol.
I do think it is the same poster who advocates becoming a precinct committeeman on Redstate. Definitely a good guy.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 1:05 PM
BTW ~ I got banned on Redstate, lol. I was defending a Palin defender who was getting ganged up on and I called them He-Man Woman-Haters Club, lol. I even explained that Alfalfa left the club to be with Darla, to no avail. Meh.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 1:08 PM
Good one!
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 1:09 PM
So funny. I had thot of that. Was going to say did you get him mixed up with Rubio, LOL
I think you’re right on him being on Redstate. Yes, a good guy and hard worker it appears. I checked into becoming a precinct committeeman with my R County Party. It takes a great deal of time and chose at the time not to get involved. I am still connected with the Party, via emails, etc. tho.
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 1:14 PM
Yup. A hipster clownfish.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 1:15 PM
And, here.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 1:20 PM
YOU? got banned from R.S. I used to read them almost daily when they were more fair minded, in 2008-2009. I posted a comment disagreeing with Erick but didn’t get banned for it. Still read them occasionally, but decide what is fact vs opinion with an agenda:-)
They don’t like to be questioned and I’ve seen many being banned and can’t find any basis for it. Free speech? Don’t think so.
It was their loss Fallon.
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 1:20 PM
LOL. I looked up “ugly fish” and couldn’t decide which would apply:-) Thot of Carp, which is ugly and carpping describes those certain comments.
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 1:23 PM
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 1:08 PM
i wear being banned at redstate a badge of honor. remember art chance, the crazed alaskan who ranted about Sarah. He later ended up in murkowskis admin.
those were the days my friends.
renalin on February 14, 2013 at 1:26 PM
I like this one better:-)
Reading QOTD last night and after reading a couple of pages, was going to comment “Oh,sorry, didn’t know this was the “fish” thread:-)
But just went on to something else.
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 1:26 PM
For those that follow Levin, Rightscoop has the video of him on
Hannity last night. I missed it. Listen to his radio show tho. Trump ripped Rove last night:-)
Well, I am off with my duties. Have a good day everyone.
Oh, almost forgot. I have always thot OP was a guy.
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 1:34 PM
It was too funny, banned, lol. I am the meekest person in real life, unless my kids are involved.
I took on Erick the Red when he was poo pooing the Nashville Tea Party Convention so I was already on thin ice. Erick was fine with it but his minions called me out for trying to embarrass Erick for days afterwards. *eyeroll* Hey, I found it:
Looks like they deleted the post where I said that Erick had a vested interest in CPAC. Such a troublemaker… Oops, grandbaby just woke up…
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 1:35 PM
OMG, yup, I remember… Sorry, gotta go.
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 1:37 PM
Oops, forgot link.
I’m coming little one…
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 1:39 PM
gilled one, I know you will check back on this thread. You can’t help yourself. Do you remember the day you crossed me? It’s the day I ruined your reputation here at HA. You became the gilled one. The name stuck. I owned you from that moment forward. You have had no success at building anything but contempt from the other commenters here. Have you ever stopped long enough to think, why? Do you even now realize what I had you do to yourself? I didn’t do this to you out of meanness, though I have certainly been mean. I did this because you needed me to. You needed to earn this. You have earned the ire of nearly every person here. You will never be able to recover from it. Your reputation is forever destroyed. I did that, you merely assisted. It is now yours. You are truly despised here, seen as a pariah, one to be mocked and ridiculed. You tried desperately to have me show mercy. You mistook me for someone you could manipulate. I gladly extended you none, for you deserve and earned no respect. Not once have you ever apologized, nor will you. I would never except your feigned apologies. I ruined you. I am happy to have done this for you. Consider your debt to me paid. I will continue to mock you as I have for so very long now. Your pain, your tears, sustain me. You are helpless to change the situation you now find yourself in. You crossed me. Big mistake. Breadball? Oh, Happy Valentines! ; )
Bmore on February 14, 2013 at 1:52 PM
A vested interest in CPAC? LOL I don’t know what is wrong with them that they don’t allow dissent. It’s for that reason that they have went downhill. HA has risen because they allow it. Evidently they want to be a private blog and need to make it so imo.
Have fun with the grandbaby:-)

Fallon, I can’t believe you were banned at RS. On the other hand, I can because I’ve known others who have been. I’m registered there, but it’s been ages since I commented or even read very much at the site.
INC on February 14, 2013 at 2:44 PM
I laugh every time I see “Breadball?”
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 3:53 PM
It’s funny reading “the redstaters” taking him to task for this “endorsement.”
Fallon on February 14, 2013 at 3:55 PM
“I know, ri-i-ight?”
One of the best uses of that phrase here. It was her last day on that show, poor little thing. LOL

Hey Gang,
First, thank you all sooo much for the BD greetings, tunes (Gohawgs – hahaha) and jokes: two aholes indeed – LOL.
I do feel older today but no wiser – more like, old enough to know better by now.
After catching up here and on the news, I’ve spent the last several hours at FALLON’s BLOG and I need to encourage all of you to spend time there. I’m going back – not finished. It is truly, truly amazing and funny as he!!. I’ve been laughing out loud so much my animals are worried about me. The recipes are extraordinary, inventive and fine. The photos are beautiful, no matter what grease got on the lens or what color plates you used. Hahaha! Here’s one choice quote:
I swear, Fallon, your work is remarkable and needs to be published. Please take a curtsey and all kudos – you absolutely deserve it!
Contrarian, indeed – perfect.
Later. I’m actually hobbling out to celebrate with a few friends in a bit.
Hope you guys have wonderful celebrations with your special Valentines tonight!
And yes, bluefox, I do need a secretary because I also forgot to mention egg washing those Bites. Sigh. [Also, I've been a girl for as long as I can remember. ;)]

Bmore on February 14, 2013 at 10:10 PM
Just popping in for a few. Was on the Higgenlooper thread upstairs and the Hot Air Comedy Team is on a roll. So funny!
But the main point is I keep getting a frozen page and a message of long script running. Even when I stop the script, it doesn’t always clear. Take a look in the address bar and I think that’s the problem. If anyone knows anything, please post. The other threads don’t have that issue.
Later
bluefox on February 14, 2013 at 10:26 PM
I am humbled. Thank you. The funny thing is the quote you pulled was from my daughter. She filled in for me a couple of times. My hubby says all the kids got my twisted sense of humor (and he still doesn’t understand half of it). My daughter is a much better writer (and baker) than I am but I am very proud of that, too.
Fallon on February 15, 2013 at 8:54 AM
That was beautiful. One of my dogs loves opera and he came over to listen, too. Seriously, he’s a very strange dog, born with free will.

Chuck Heath, Jr. writes, “It’s disappointing that the letter even had to be written to a publication such as theirs, but the inaccuracies will not go unanswered.” From his letter:
Fallon on February 15, 2013 at 9:19 AM
Fallon, I truly can’t say enough to honor your work, wit and wisdom.
You take your readers around the farm – introducing them to little known/never heard of vegetables while elevating the mundane. Then you take them around the world with recipes and ingredients. You honor your family – and they you – by including all of them, including your dear Mom and Aunt B. You weave in wisdom regarding thrift vs. green and making use of the last in the basket every week. You exemplify tenacity, discipline and very hard work. And woven through it all is your sublime wit and grit. In the end, you have created a most beautiful tapestry of art.
I can relate on so many levels – from not wanting to wear the chef coat for fear of getting food on it – LOL – to trying to please occasional picky eaters like ‘picky daughter’, and on and on.
I wish it was in book form so I could turn the pages and savor. . I’d love to see an index as the scope and breadth of recipes is beyond impressive. And I’d love to be able to just sit down with you and share your stories, laughing all the way.
I also wish I had the ability to learn more about all the others gathered in our Gulch – for I know each of you are extraordinary. Well, except for the gilled one, who reminds me of a gnat in south Georgia in the summertime: contributing nothing, hovering around, in your face, and basically you just want to swat it.
Thank you, Fallon!

So glad he’s posting on HA more. Brings a lot of experience and logic!! I’m trying to catch up. Have had several irons in the fire:-)
Today I read the QOTD from last night and the Juan thread. Good grief. The comments changed the topic. I saw a few opinions that imo showed they were out of touch with reality.

Do any of you know anything about this? It’s a new one on me.
Your mom and dad are so patriotic; I love it. In a few years she is going to make history, prophet Kim Clement prophesied. Maybe she will be the first woman Vice President. She has great leadership qualities that Jesus place in her. These qualities will not be wasted. I guess we have to be patient and wait on the Lord’s timing. Also he prophesied there will be a new party.

Just funning him/them. ; )
Bmore on February 16, 2013 at 7:44 PM
I know. Hopefully he read the rest of the QOTD, which is the best of the threads::-) The wit and humor is awesome!!!

Opinionator on February 16, 2013 at 8:23 PM
its impossible to shame her. after you’ve been on a blog for awhile. the tendency is to befriend a certain number of posters, and over time, if you had a sharp tongue, then it would be softened.
not her. she derives pleasure from negative responses. who’s psyche could withstand that.
not like she’s standing up for the unborn or womens rights.
our silence is her punishment. easy to say. i know. i fall into the trap too. still. silence is the best route for her.
renalin on February 16, 2013 at 8:32 PM
I know you’ve sort of shredded her pretty well. However, it’s more than a bigot. It’s one of two things imo. Either a very emotionally unbalanced person or a paid troll. No one would do this for free.
I personally think it’s a paid Obot or GOP. Tries to be cute switching sides (Romney) but the Palin hatred gives it away. Remember, the left will tell you what they fear? Promoting Romney was just a cover for the Palin hatred. Romney is gone, but the hate for Palin remains.
bluefox on February 16, 2013 at 8:43 PM
I agree. A few years ago, I was on another blog and it was quite popular. The trolls were awful and only when no one would respond, would they leave. My understanding is that they are paid by each response they get.
No one is going to change a troll’s mind as they are not on a blog for that purpose. Just money!
bluefox on February 16, 2013 at 8:48 PM
Hi Lady:-) Hope all is well with you. A quiet Saturday evening in my area. Just reading some of the news. Have some programs that I taped that may be something for later.
I’ll check out that Fighter Jet info.
