Santorum: Fox News’ newest pundit?
“A month after suffering the largest defeat by a Senate incumbent in a quarter-century,” Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) is “negotiating a cable deal, which political insiders say most likely is with Fox — though MSNBC and CNN have been mentioned as well.”

yes, yes…just what the cable news networks need—another conservative to represent the backwash demographic.
December 13th, 2006 at 11:09 amRicki is a sure way to loose viewers.
December 13th, 2006 at 11:09 amCan we get the phrase “suffered the largest defeat by a Senate incumbent in a quarter-century” inserted after every mention of Santorum’s name from now on?
I really, really like the sound of that. :)
December 13th, 2006 at 11:11 amHe is rewarded by networks for serving the public well when it comes to war and peace. He left dreaming about starting another war….sad..he can talk about it now on any of these networks ..my guess is he will be on FOX joining O”Reilly, Hannity and the rest of the war faction group.
December 13th, 2006 at 11:11 amSay this is not true. I thought we were rid of “Man on Dog” Sanatorium. Pox News will be even more putrid than it is now.

December 13th, 2006 at 11:14 amHere is what some papers missed of Santorum’s last speech. Still using Islamic Fascism.
Enjoy.

December 13th, 2006 at 11:15 amThe “republiQueens”(mine) just love to reward the failures amongst them dont they?
December 13th, 2006 at 11:16 amPlease, Santa, please, please!? I’ve been very good…well, pretty good…, please let Ricky have this new job….
Heh.
December 13th, 2006 at 11:17 amThere just isn’t enough crazy people on TeeVee these days!
December 13th, 2006 at 11:18 amMy apologies to Mr. Walker. Here is the correct article:

December 13th, 2006 at 11:19 amCan you think of a better place for Rick the Prick to land than Faux News? He will make the perfect bookend to Bill O’ and Hannitee-hee!!
December 13th, 2006 at 11:43 amWe will be relatively free of “man on dog” Santorum if he goes to FOX because we rarely watch the propaganda channel — we will be subjected to his countenance on the TV screen only when he utters incredibly stupid remarks.
December 13th, 2006 at 11:44 amHmmm, come to think of it, we may see more of him than I thought.
“I went out and I walked around.
December 13th, 2006 at 11:45 amSomebody said ‘Look who’s in town.’”
The graphic for his show can include the shadow of a dog being chased by a man.
Either that or the graphics can say:
December 13th, 2006 at 11:46 am“I lost my Senate race due to my ultra-extreme positions, so Fox gave me my own show!”
I was wondering who was going to be Tony Snow’s replacement……
December 13th, 2006 at 11:46 amhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs78qttc5Ag
He should stop being a chicken hawk and enlist.
December 13th, 2006 at 11:49 am#16 – Raven
NO ONE could replace Tony Snow-job……he may be the best ‘Pretend’ newsman to ever walk behind a podium.
December 13th, 2006 at 11:50 am#18 – upside
December 13th, 2006 at 12:02 pmagreed, tony blow is the best thing to ever happen for the Bush legacy……….
That’s awesome. Rick was the biggest reject of the Republiklan ‘revolution’.
So of course he will be on FOX. That’s where all the disgraced politicians go when they die. It’s like that disney movie, “All Dogs go to Heaven”, except these dogs go to hell, aka faux news.
December 13th, 2006 at 12:02 pmAnd what possibly the viewers can learn from Ricky that they already do not know ? !! Of course knowledge is not the reason television shows are made. It is to bring more dollars to the station…and as a FOX man, Ricky will give them a lot of stories that cannot be proven or substanciated like their other shows…in the network chase for more dollars.
December 13th, 2006 at 12:21 pmMaybe they will have him as the anchor for the conservative version of the “Daily Show”. That would be a worth a viewing. Santorum trying to be funny…..funny ha ha…not funny stupid like usual.
December 13th, 2006 at 12:24 pmRick Sanitarium is starting a home decorating show, first up. Formaldahyde jar on the mantle, ew.
December 13th, 2006 at 12:31 pmThey could add him as a color commentator to the O’Riled up show. they’d make a great couple. Like Burns and Allen, Benny and Rochester, Simon and Whatshisname.
December 13th, 2006 at 12:32 pmOn the other hand, it would bring new meaning to the phrase,
December 13th, 2006 at 12:33 pmDog, Man and Pony show!
Who would want him, except the losers at Fox?!
December 13th, 2006 at 12:35 pmCan we get a green screen in Tom Delay’s cell so he can do the weather too.
“And now, Jack Abramoff with sports.”
December 13th, 2006 at 12:41 pm“There just isn’t enough crazy people on TeeVee these days!”
You consider Rick to be crazy? Why?
December 13th, 2006 at 12:55 pmmicheal, stfu. You know why, you are just baiting poeple.
December 13th, 2006 at 1:02 pm“Man on Fox”?
December 13th, 2006 at 1:07 pm#29 – You consider Rick to be crazy? Why? by Michael
Maybe you should ask the 60+% of the people in PA who voted his ugly ass outs office!
December 13th, 2006 at 1:20 pmMSNBC and CNN have also been mentioned?
Ah, that darn liberal media…
December 13th, 2006 at 1:22 pm“Man on Fox� Comment by rail
Fantastic!
December 13th, 2006 at 1:46 pm#15 “I lost my Senate race due to my ultra-extreme positions, so Fox gave me my own show!â€
T-Shirt. Now.
December 13th, 2006 at 5:49 pmWill Fox News give him back pay for his work in the Senate?
December 13th, 2006 at 6:25 pm#35 Sounds slightly better than, “I traded arms for hostages and sold weapons to America’s enemies, now I have my own TV show on Fox News!”
December 13th, 2006 at 6:26 pmWhat crap, we got rid of him in PA so that he could go and and be even more of a national mouthpiece for the extreme right of the Republican Party? Like cockaroaches, no matter how many times you try to stomp the damn things, they’re still there.
December 13th, 2006 at 6:38 pmmaybe he wants Tony Snow’s job……who cares, who watches Fox anyway? Like I always said, “Fox” and “journalist” just don’t fit in the same sentence.
December 13th, 2006 at 6:42 pmNice……that’ll really be impressive. HA!!!!
December 13th, 2006 at 8:40 pmDude’s good-lookin’, knows a lot of big words, is wrong about everything… he was born to be a pundit.
December 13th, 2006 at 8:48 pmI have never been a fan of Fox News, personally, but if they hire Rick Santorum, I will boycott the station. We worked hard enough to get him out of the Senate; why would we want to see him on the news now?
December 14th, 2006 at 12:08 amI’m just surprised that no one has mentioned Dan Savage’s “Frothy mix” nickname for Santorum. That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in years.
