We have a ruling coming down any day on campaign finance which will probably open the floodgates of corporate spending on elections, but in the meantime, Roger and Co will do what they to keep Palin in the public eye:

Former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska has signed on as a contributor to the Fox News Channel.

The network confirmed that Ms. Palin would appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multiyear deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person with knowledge of the deal said, though she will host a series that will run on the network from time to time. This person would not elaborate, but the network does have a precedent for such a series. Oliver L. North is the host of an occasionally running documentary series on the military called “War Stories.”

Weather gal? She’s from Alaska, after all, and they do know weather. Or it could be a sports program. Being a sportscaster was always her ambition.

They certainly can’t have her talking about public affairs, can they?
