Sarah Palin FoxShe just keeps sticking it to them.

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

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

Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person with knowledge of the deal said, though she will host a series that will run on the network from time to time. This person would not elaborate, but the network does have a precedent for such a series. Oliver L. North is the host of an occasionally running documentary series on the military called “War Stories.”

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.

The deal was formally announced on Monday afternoon. Robert Barnett, Ms. Palin’s lawyer, did not respond to a call for comment. “I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News. It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news,” Ms. Palin said in a statement.”

Ok, sit back and take that in. She’ll start as a contributor, but everyone knows that she’s on the way to hosting her own show some day. Imagine then when her ratings surpass those of the uber-leftwing MSNBC crowd of Olbermann, Maddow and Matthews?

Either way she’s going to gain popularity, just as she did on her book tour which by the way – Going Rogue – has outsold every other political book this season. Just another example of how the beltway is out of touch with America. Palin is selling to Americans, and will continue to do so.

Looking forward to her appearances on Fox.
