Hey who cares if she's as smart as a box of rocks, can't keep facts straight, and knows less about foreign affairs than my 12 year old niece (no joke) and has zero broadcasting experience? She can get more advertising dollars for Fox! (probably from GoldLine..ha)

>>Yep - I'm sure she will probably boost ratings for Fox - and I suppose if you own a broadcasting company then that is the objective. Not sure how responsible it is to put such an idiot on a national TV news show though.... And I'm sure Comedy Central will see a huge spike of people watching the Daily Show and Colbert's show...NBC will prolly get a boost with Saturday Night Live...haha.

I don't consider him an unknown (I'd known of him for years) or an idiot - but even so that wasn't the point of the discussion - I was talking about putting Palin on Fox News.
