DAVID TAINTOR 12:32 PM EST, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 15, 2013

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has signed on with Fox News as a contributor, the network announced Friday.

In a release, Cain said: “I’m excited about joining the FOX family as a contributor because it is an opportunity to be one more voice for intelligent thinking in America.”

Fox News executive vice president of programming said in the same release, "As a political expert with business savvy, he brings an important voice to the nation's debate."

Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) also joined the conservative news network as a contributor this week.

1. "And now for tonight's Approved News Thoughtforms, we turn to Hermie and Brownie" - Fox

The Chickenhawk RepubliStooges du jour

[bluedigger]

2. One time losing candidates for office are now political experts.

Cain's not even a pizza expert.

[alp227]

13. Fox: where ex politicians get more face time.

First Sarah Palin, them Dennis Kucinich, Scott Brown, now Herman Cain.

And he really thinks he will contribute intelligent discourse, when he is famous for butchering Uzbekistan, quoting a kids show theme song, and making awkward silence in that editorial board interview?

32. Is there a way to disconnect a channel from the TV

I really need to pull the plug out of my TV-- don't need to see Mr. 999/OOO on FOX news or any channel.

I am African American and CAIN is not ABLE!

CAIN/LIMPBALLS = TOTAL DISASTER for the FOX.


BRING IT ON!!!!!!!

PS/ I don't think they picked him to bring more African Americans to up their declining ratings.

Let the Clown Show begin -- now the Tea Party truly controls
FOX.

[malthaussen]

3. Too rich!

They fire Sarah and hire Hermie? Oh, damn, the opportunities here are endless...

4. Fox is where failed GOP political candidates go

to try to hang on to some semblance of relevance, at least until their sell-by date expires and Fox has no further use for them. Exhibit A: Sarah Palin.

[xxqqqzme]

14. It is called Tea bagger

welfare.

[goclark]

33. Bingo!

[Jackpine Radical]

5. In an appeal to diversity,

Fox replaces idiot Palin with moron Cain.

[Faygo Kid]

6. Fox needed a nuanced understanding of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan

[Joe Bacon]

36. LMAO!

Can't stop laughing!

[sinkingfeeling]

7. I'm so glad that Fox's expanding into comedy.

[dgibby]

8. ANOTHER great reason not to watch Faux Snooze,

not that I need one.

[catbyte]

9. Well, so much for Fox-PAC changing its image from "Teh Stoopid" channel

Their "makeover" didn't last long, LOL.

[angrychair]

10. Just what Faux Nuz

Needs to shore up its credibility....Herman Cain.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Another nitwit adopted by the Fox Dysfunctional Family.

This is Onion-type stuff.

[Happyhippychick]

12. "...it is an opportunity to be one more voice for intelligent thinking in America"

*breathe*

[cosmicone]

19. LMAO !!!!! n/t

[rocktivity]

23. Move over

rocktivity

[Skittles]

31. that's as far as I got, HHchick

I am still laughing

[benld74]

15. If Palin was costing them a mil, wha' these chowder heads raking in?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[jmowreader]

35. $999,999

[DollarBillHines]

16. Well, THAT will certainly swing the minority vote.

Who's next?

Jose Jimenez?

[Swede Atlanta]

17. There is something wrong with this man......

When I first heard him on the radio a number of years ago I thought...oh good...they are giving anyone access to the mic.

This guy cannot even pronounce 90% of the words in the English language correctly. He is a shill and disgrace.

Way to go Fox...this will really HURT your ratings going forward.. I love it!!!

[cosmicone]

18. Fox wants to add some color to the hate mongering

so it wouldn't look like it is just angry white guys spewing filth.

[truthisfreedom]

20. "an opportunity to be one more voice for intelligent thinking in America"

[Flashmann]

21. I'll miss it all....

A couple of years ago I locked out faux snooze with the parental control,using a random sequence of numbers for the password,that I "forgot" to make note of.....

Now I couldn't tune in to that garbage if I wanted to.....

[Javaman]

22. palin out cain in.

faux news moves around the deck chairs.

[Permanut]

24. Remember, Hermie..

If you don't succeed at Fox, blame yourself.

[Puzzledtraveller]

25. I actually like Herman Cain

as comedy.

[adicortez]

26. Diversity

The GOP is going to great lengths to show that they're all-inclusive. Herman Cain and Rubio have zero pull with blacks and latinos. Romney's spanish speaking son was a great instrumental in getting us latinos to vote for Mitt.

[AsahinaKimi]

27. Say wot????

“I’m excited about joining the FOX family as a contributor because it is an opportunity to be one more voice for intelligent thinking in America.”

yeah... rightt!!!!!

[CarrieLynne]

28. I can hear it now....."I...don't....have..........facts to back this up...but...."

hes perfect for Fox lol

[The Last Dem.]

29. They just keep giving!

The 9-9-9 Plan.

[B Stieg]

30. Fox News...just like the Oakland Raiders

Giving a home to washed up conservative pols.

Does this mean that Roger Ailes is actually Al Davis?

[Jamaal510]

34. The Raiders? Really?

I know they haven't done anything in a decade, but get real. They still have 3 Super Bowls, which is 6th behind only the 49ers, Packers, Giants, Steelers, and Cowboys. And Al Davis helped make the NFL as great as it is today. Roger Ailes soiled the meaning of journalism.
If anything, FOX would be more comparable to teams like the Chargers or Seahawks who go to the playoffs, but never have any SBs to show for it.
