Santorum: Why Doesn't Fox Suspend Palin, Huckabee?

Rick Santorum asks an almost good question here, but for the wrong reasons.  “ Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, a likely candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, understands why he and likely fellow presidential contender Newt Gingrich were suspended as commentators for Fox News. But he doesn’t understand why potential presidential candidates Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee weren’t suspended, too, The Hill reports. ” Starting with Santorum: He's running for what?  I have not forgotten that Santorum acted on behalf of President Bush in getting Sphincter reelected, when we could have had Sen. Pat Toomey. And Newt: Newt's   running for what? And Huckabee: I don't like Huckabee because he's a "program" candidate. That is, he fingers the political winds, and he gets stuff wrong.  His latest "birther moment" is a good example.  Just about everything he said was factually wrong, which allowed equally ignorant Obama apologists, like here,  to spew away, unabated. Here Mike, read this and get it right next time. And Sarah : Her strength is I think diluted by scheduled appearances on FOX. Making sane, timely observations via Facebook and Twitter allow3ed her to change the political landscape last year.  Sarah Palin's Alaska series was a tour de force.  As things stand Sarah Palin is a kingmaker with a following much larger, and more diverse than either party wants to acknowledge.  Still, who needs to be king when you have the king's ear?  Besides, Chris Christie is unbeatable as things stand. Yes, I'm trurned off anymore by old talking heads whose sentences I can finish before the question is asked.  Still, I love FOX NEWS.  Who else could prompt fumbling New York Times executive editor Bill Keller to say: . “ "I think if you're a regular viewer of Fox News, you're among the most cynical people on planet Earth," Keller snarled. "I cannot think of a more cynical slogan than 'Fair and Balanced' " ” Unless it's "All the news fit to print"
