Sarah Palin will soon be a contributor on Fox News Channel, the New York Times reports.

The controversial former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate will not have a regular program of her own on Fox News, unlike 2008 GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. But in a multi-year deal, she will reportedly appear as a contributor and "host an occasional series that will run on the network from time to time."

According to the Times, Palin's compensation was not disclosed. A formal announcement of the deal could come this afternoon.

I admire your enthusiasm, 50BMS13, but it's a bit misplaced... Quitting isn't a good trait.

Fox news needs help they are going to try anything. Sarah wanted to work with Jessy Venture on conspiracy theory to find out how come she can still see Russia from her house but Jessy thinks the Russians are using mind control on Sarah and this is the reason she don't know jack

And so you should!

There is enough bible-thumping hate-filled ignorance plaguing America and the world already.

Anyone who can't see that lying airhead quitter for exactly what she is (and isn't) should never be allowed to breed.
Have you been spayed?

Actually, she isn't merely ignorant...she is terrifyingly stupid, unaware of things the average 5th graader knows, possessing only a low animal cunning that only right-wing morons like you could mistake for intellect and reason.

The only good thing to be said about Sarah Palin is that she isn't real...only a depressing symbol of how low the US has fallen; llusion over substance...sound bytes over thought and reason...hypocracy over genuine virtue.

After eight years of the Bush/Cheney gang, you would follow the likes of HER?

PLEASE...find that bullet.

So this was the important thing that tore her away from her commitement and responsibilities of fulfilling her obligation to the people of Alaska. Go figure.

Palin got a taste of national politics and realized she could make more MONEY giving speeches and writing books (no fact-checking necessary) than serving as Alaska's governor - and she's laughing all the way to the bank.
And since Palinites believe her every word - it's obvious that Facts and Truth are unimportant to them.

NO....the world is waking up and seeing things for what they are.

Who are these dumb guys offering her the contract... My question is will she leave 1/2 way through the contract?
Can't understand why she wants to expose her stupidity to a greater extent.
