Fox News Replaces Idiot With Another Idiot

When Fox News got rid of Sarah Palin by offering her a very tiny contract renewal, people who follow these things said, “Oh, Fox News has been forced to scale back the crazy a little bit, because the old white lunatics are quickly dying off and America’s population now consists solely of multi-ethnic transgender metrosexuals.” But these people were wrong, because Fox News just hired Herman Cain as a paid on-air personality.

Herman Cain was the 2012 GOP presidential frontrunner at some point — everybody was a GOP frontrunner at some point, except for Sarah Palin. Imagine being such a washed-up dingbat that you couldn’t even compete with the likes of Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann.

The cable news station also hired Scott Brown, who was “the new Ted Kennedy” for about five minutes back in 2010.
