It sounds from the story as though she dropped Fox, but I assume that’s because they demanded that she take a huge pay cut.

Old news, [covered in another thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=680293).. back when it happened (didn’t you notice that the link was from January by the date in the URL?).

Back then, _Boyo Jim_ pointed out:

While she is a quitter, I don’t see her as jumping ship on the only media outlet that would give her a ‘pundit’ gig where she can say practically anything she wants.

And, most poignantly, _I_ asked:

Dangit, there goes my ability to express disgust.

Random aside, found [this](http://www.dartmouth.edu/~hist32/History/S31%20-%20The%20Dark%20Side%20of%20Dr.%20Seuss.htm) about Seuss recently. Wonder if Palin would approve?

[shrug] Before posting I reviewed all the Palin-related Pit threads. This seemed the one best worth bumping. (So I like Dr. Seuss.)

If you notice, the Link Nazi Schtick was directed at _ **Not All That Bright** _, who didn’t notice that you’d brought up the subject _in the same thread_, or everyone else already discussing it for a while, and done discussing it. I was just amused by the “But what about THIS?” after we were all done.

Well, at least the thread(s) has gone properly all-recursive instead of discuss(t)ing Herself no more.
