Here's a Headline For the Ages...

Sarah Palin at her first editorial meeting at Fox HQ in New York.

Sarah Palin takes Fox News commentator job.

Thank God I was sitting down. Because that's about as surprising as hearing that Mark McGwire admitted to using steroids or hair gets trapped in your sink's drain trap. It might as well have read, Conservative Moonbat Flies up to Mothership. It's sort of a reverse "Birth of Venus" by Botticelli only accompanied by Yakkity Sax.

Palin's already parroting the Fox "News" approved mantra, having posted on the network's website, "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."

Never mind the fact that the woman has an infallible instinct for being wrong each and every single time she opens her big lipsticked mouth, that she's an embarrassment to at least half the GOP when she does, that the woman cut and ran from the best job she ever had and made her beloved Alaskans eat the dust from her mukluks, that she has pending litigation involving sweetheart deals and abuse of her office and that just today it came out that Palin admitted to CBS that McCain picking her to be his running mate was "God's plan."

Since when is being addicted to the truth and having a passion for informed, well-sourced and independent journalism a prerequisite at Fox?
