Sarah Palin is no longer a Fox News contributor

A Fox News spokeswoman confirmed a report in Politico that Palin's contract with the cable news outlet expired on June 1 and has not been renewed. Palin will still appear as a guest on Fox News programs but will no longer be paid.

Palin's last appearance on Fox News was on the June 8 edition of "Hannity."


Palin, 51, was considered a hot TV commodity after she rose to prominence as Sen. John McCain's running mate in his failed 2008 run for the White House. She signed on as a Fox News commentator in January 2010, a few months after her resignation from the Alaska governorship. She was reportedly paid $1 million a year but that payment was reduced over time.

Her on-air career is now limited to her reality series "Amazing America" on the Sportsman Channel and own subscription video channel distributed through TAPP.

1. How the mighty have fallen. She was even too much for the channel of cognitive disconnect.

Now does she descend into drinking and brawling? Uhm. Seems that is already happening.

That is not to say she actually contributed anything other than her usual witlessness.

Like a top ten statements on Fox or something.

What a legacy. Sadly, there are many more like her in the republican bullpen.

Obviously looking for contributors that are even more stupid than she is.
