Sarah Palin in a contributing role at Fox is brilliant. She will help to bring up ratings even more every time she makes an appearance on any of the Fox shows. Expect her to have a regularly weekly segment with O’Reilly, Hannity and Greta and I also hear that they are going to occasionally use her to boost Fox Business.
I expect that maybe Senators Dodd and Reid may have contributor assignments at MSNBC once they are officially “retired” (code for thrown out by the smart citizens who are tired of their respective crap in office.

Joe, I’m trying out for the 11:35 p.m. spot on NBC. Whether it’s Leno or Conan I’m replacing, who knows?

Missy, you don’t have a giant garage full of cars, do you? Jay Leno is the bane of all car guys. He shows up on every dang car show with some stupid jet-powered Buick or some other ridiculous monstrosity that only a gearhead with no taste and too much money would force on an unsuspecting public. He’s not a car collector, he’s a car hoarder. The prerequisite seems to be “It’s for sale, poor people can’t afford it, I’ll take it.”
