Guess whose goin’ to [Fox](http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/01/palin-to-become-fox-news-contributor.php)?

Oh _please_ let her have plenty of opportunities for unscripted, off-the-cuff commentary!

Somehow, I suspect that a position as a Fox commentator suits Ms Palin perfectly.

All she needs is a commentary partner in a blond curly wig who communicates exclusively by honking a horn, and her routine will be perfect.

McCains people were shocked when she easily accepted the VP spot. But, she explained it was gods plan for her. So if god is planning on her being president, there is nothing we can do about it. Now I can relax and accept the inevitable. President Palin.

“Well, my guy here Brittany Humor has a good point, and I sure do love his ice cream. Dontcha know? But I just don’t see how gawd will let America fall to the terrioristic communists. Fortunately, we have the latest polling where the godless commies are getting fifty-three percentagers of the vote while the heroic, the true heroes, are…dontcha know, heroically winning with sixty-three percent of the vote.”

Palin brings nothing. She has no experience, no intellect, no curiosity, nothing. She brings nothing to the stage that qualifies her to be a candidate for office. Some day she may have an idea. i am still waiting.  
She stumbled all over the presidential campaign. She couldn’t make a reasonable speech or do a simple interview. McCains people were exhausted trying to teach her enough not to be an embarrassment. Then she quit the Governorship. Who does such a thing?  
How partisan would a person have to be to convince themselves that she is a viable candidate?
