Fox News, Palin cutting ties

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer Published: Jan 25, 2013 at 9:10 PM PDT

NEW YORK (AP) — Sarah Palin is out as a Fox News Channel contributor.

The network said Friday that it is parting ways with the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate.

Bill Shine, executive vice president at Fox News, said the network has enjoyed its association with Palin and wishes her the best. There was no immediate comment from the former Alaska governor.

A person familiar with discussions between Fox and Palin described the parting as amicable, saying that Fox and Palin had discussed renewing her contract but she decided to do other things. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.

Palin debuted as a Fox contributor in January 2010.

Several different colleges in order to graduate and partial terms in office---she is just not going to stay in any one place too long.

5 x more competent and better looking than "I take full responsibility" Hillary.

Notice how Gov. Palin caused no one to be killed but she's the one being lampooned by schmags like Tina Fey or "journalists" like Anderson "kiss the zipper" Cooper.

Justcause

Â @Attila The reason she is lampooned is because she is a flaming idiot.Â It's almost too easy.Â The woman could not even answer the most basic of questions.Â Anyone who thinks this quitter is competent is probably semi-retarded themselves.

Â @Attila Shouldn't you actually finish a term before people refer to you as Governor the rest of your life?

I am not a hater, as a proud liberal I like Sarah Palin. She went from mom, to mayor, to beating out two men for Governor and then to Vice President candidate to include Fox commentator as well as publishing books. Though her accent and use of words grinds on me I still like Sarah Palin and think she is up there with Pelosi and Hillary. She hunts, fishes, an avid runner, healthy example for all and supports the Native Americans and snow mobile sports. You go girl!

Justcause

Â @gastoys You're NOT a liberal, but whatever turns you on George.Â She is an example of an angry, incompetent, sore loser.Â Like I've said already, anyone who thinks Palin is competent or a good example, probably takes the short bus to school.

Â @gastoysÂ Most politicians today are more like actors and cheerleaders, Â likable and having some redeeming qualities. Â It's the mega corporations, media, pharma, or how Eisenhower called it - 'the military industrial complex' Â and the wizards behind the curtain running things that are worthy of our hate. Â Both parties have let us down. Â If 'debt is slavery', we're in chains.
