A post at Fox News

[fpb]

I can't imagine what Sarah Palin thinks she's doing. If she is running for President, which I thought was certainly the case thus far, then I cannot see this as anything but a step backward; and not only because Fox News is a highly divisive outlet, but above all because I cannot remember a single case of a political commentator or journalist ever having a serious career as a politician. That is, I can think of one case, who was a professional journalist for many years, and that is not a good precedent. He was called Benito Mussolini.

I agree. It's really not a bad option. The money is good, you have much more freedom, and arguably more career longevity.
