A post at Fox News

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.

So this is Rupert Murdoch's latest political partnership. He built himself up with Margaret Thatcher, kept going with Tony Blair, and now he is out to buy an American party. You think we ought to warn the Americans? Mind you, if the bizarre mixture of Family Guy, pornographic reality shows, and the hysterical politics of Glenn Beck aren't enough to warn them, I doubt you or I could.
