After She Was Fired Sarah Palin Hilariously Tried to Out Fox Fox News
Ego met ineptitude as Sarah Palin hilariously thought that she could out fox Fox News, and manage the spin behind her firing.
Howard Kurtz has the details, The new contract offered by Fox, say people familiar with the situation, would have provided only a fraction of the million-dollar-a-year salary. It was then, they say, that Palin turned it down and both sides agreed to call it quits. A friendly announcement was planned for Friday, but a source close to Palin leaked the news in the afternoon to Real Clear Politics, saying the former Alaska governor decided not to renew the arrangement and remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism.
Nothing says thanks for paying me three million dollars like trying to stab your former employer in the back on the way out the door. What makes Palins attempt to spin her firing hilarious is the fact that she somehow thought that she could out fox Fox News. She actually believed that she could control the perception of her firing by telling Real Clear Politics about it first.
Sarah Palin actually believes that she is bigger than Fox News.

this nation into Iraq where almost 5K Americans and over 100K INNOCENT Iraqis lost their lives & about 50K Americans wounded, with 200-300K more with traumatic brain injuries, perhaps 800K wounded Iraqis, and maybe 3 million refugees and orphans.
Common sense? It'd be fucking hilarious if it weren't so abysmally sad for everyone but Sarah.
What a disgusting winky-cheap-shit piece of work!
