PALIN AND FOX DIVORCE

By now you must have heard that Sarah Palin, the former Veep candidate and first mamma grizzly of Alaska and Fox news, America's premier G.O.P. propaganda machine, have parted ways. Both parties called the divorce amicable, but I'm skeptical because Sarah Palin never says good-bye without shooting somebody in the back. Eventually, the real reason for the split will be leaked, though probably not to this blogger, but I'm betting that Palin wanted significantly more air time than Fox was willing to provide. Green Acres and Leave it to Beaver reruns probably brought in more advertising dollars than Palin did for the Fox network, so it's not surprising that Fox would want to jettison Palin, despite the foxy mamma's appeal to the redneck crowd.
