Sarah Palin, a little-known former half-term governor and vice-presidential candidate whose opinions on current events have until now flown woefully under the radar, will finally get a platform for sharing her views with the country after signing a deal to become a contributor to Fox News for an undisclosed sum. Palin isn't expected to have her own show, but will reportedly "appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis" as the host of "an occasional series that will run on the network from time to time."
