Surprise! Fox News Looking to Hire Herman Cain

<> I know you’ll all be shocked to learn that Fox News is interested in putting Herman Cain on their airwaves. From The Caucus Blog:

“He is interesting,” Bill Shine, Fox News’s executive vice president for programming said in response to an e-mail inquiring whether the network had any interest in bringing the former Godfather’s Pizza chief executive on as a contributor.

Mr. Shine noted that while “there is nothing in the works,” Mr. Cain will continue to appear on Fox as a guest, which he did most recently on Thursday evening. These were Fox News’s first public comments on Mr. Cain’s possible future with the network.

Thursday’s appearance, on Sean Hannity’s program, kicked up fresh speculation about that future. Mr. Hannity seemed to suggest as much when he said: “What might be next for Herman Cain? Because I have no doubt that there is a TV-radio future if you wanted one.”

Cain will be on Hannity’s show again on Monday to discuss the ABC Republican Debate to be held tomorrow night. I guess this means that Cain’s campaign was successful: he’ll be on Fox and that will enable him to sell more books.

Here’s an idea for Cain’s upcoming show. He should invite women whom he has sexually harassed and/or sexually assaulted to appear on the program to debate whether what he did to them was “inappropriate” or not.

      Will he still get his matching funds if he works in the media and comments on the campaign? I haven’t been able to find out.

    Another Perry Ad parody 🙂

    • dakinikat says:

      I guess the Youtube of the ad itself has gotten the most dislikes on youtube to date they’ve had … it may work with Iowa Republicans but the rest of the country thinks he’s a big ol’ jerk!

      • ralphb says:

        There are dozens of parody ads on youtube. Some of them are downright vicious and they are all well deserved. He is a piece of shit.

      I just read he used the song by a gay composer to attack the LGBT community.

    It’s good to know someone got what they ‘really’ wanted for Christmas. Herman Cain came and saw, and then exited with the ‘real’ prize he’d set his eyes on at the start.

    First Huckabee then Palin, now Cain. That celebrity drug must be mighty powerful! Wonder how many other born-again celebrities Fox will adopt? I read their ratings are slipping.

    Quelle surprise!

    Yeah, consult with Fox, because we wouldn’t want to break off conversation with HeMan Cain.

    Damn, I missed out on this news, you where right Dak. I bet he has his sights set on Janine Turner…with that mass of blonde GOP 2nd wife hair.
