Idiot half-term governor takes $15-a-word nonsense to wingnuttiest corners of the interwebs

After learning last week that Fox "News" has invited Sarah Palin to please stop talking crazy talk on its airwaves, today we learn, thanks to a study by the University of Minnesota's Smart Politics, that Fox paid an average of $15.85 per word for the 189,221 words she spewed on air as a paid contributor. Gee, Fox, hope you feel you got your money's worth!

But it's not that Fox decided Palin's word salad was not such a good investment after all. Oh no. Palin just wanted to reach a broader audience by taking her message from the wingnuttiest corners of the airwaves to the wingnuttiest corners of the interwebs:

In a three-question Q&A with the conservative news site Breitbart published Saturday, Palin explained her separation from Fox News as an attempt to broaden her audience. "We can't just preach to the choir; the message of liberty and true hope must be understood by a larger audience," Palin wrote.

Uh huh. Because Palin's been preaching to the old, white, keep-your-government-hands-off-my-Medicare choir—at the bargain price of $15 per word—she's going to take her fired ass to the much more diverse old, white, keep-your-keep-your-government-hands-off-my-Medicare and OMG THE PRESIDENT IS BLACK!!!!! choir instead because Benghazi, freedom, Obama, liberty, Israel, Reagan.

As hesitant as I've been to write the obituary for Palin's—and I use this term loosely—career, I think it may be time. Sorry, Sarah, but I believe we have, at long last, reached your 16th minute. Also.
