Caribou Buh-Bye!

Former Alaskan governor and conservative agitator Sarah Palin has ended her dealings with Fox News. The conservative leaning network was hoping the former vice presidential nominee would run for president.

It didn't turn out that way. The Republicans were hoping for a miracle in the winds, but sadly they've gotten the perennial loser Mitt Romney as their nominee. The conservative media was hopelessly defending such a moron.

Sarah Palin, husband Todd, her daughter Bristol and her baby daddy Levi Johnston made the news rounds for the last few years.

Todd Palin was trying to build a name for himself. The former first dude endorsed Newt Gingrich in the presidential elections and was hoping that he would get some name recognition.

Bristol Palin became famous for being pregnant during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. She gave birth to her son. Bristol became a spokesperson for teenage abstinence. She eventually landed on ABC's Dancing With The Stars. She competed with celebrities such as Kristie Alley, Apolo Anton Ohno, Kyle Massey, David Hasselhoff and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.

The father, Levi Johnston became a cultural figure for all proud rednecks! He gotten tired of the Palin family and decided to ditch them. He went on to somewhat "endorse" Barack Obama for president. He also broken up with Bristol. He went on to having another child with younger woman and married her last year.

Sarah Palin was close friends with Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Glenn Beck, reality star Kate Gosselin, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) and John Ziegler.

I guess she and Roger Ailes aren't friends anymore. To make it clear, Roger Ailes wanted to hire on Palin solely to groom her for a potential run for president. When she declined to run, the network was deflated of a viable candidate. Palin announced on conservative agitator Mark Levin's radio show to declare that she's not running for president, angering Roger Ailes.

The New York Magazine reports that Ailes was so frustrated he almost wanted to fire her on the spot. He later would tell the New York press that the former governor "had no chance" of becoming a president.

The Fox News chief wasn't angry about the decision itself. Rather, he was livid that Palin made the October 5 announcement on Mark Levin's conservative talk-radio program, robbing Fox News of an exclusive and a possible ratings bonanza. Fox was relegated to getting a follow-up interview with Palin on Greta Van Susteren's 10 p.m. show, after the news of Palin's decision had been drowned out by Steve Jobs's death.

After the announcement, he called Fox's executive vice-president Bill Shine into a meeting. Shine is the network's principal point of contact with Palin. Ailes told him she had made a big mistake. "I paid her for two years to make this announcement on my network," Ailes pointedly told Shine. Sources described the episode on condition of anonymity, given the sensitivity of the relationships.

Palin is said to have made her announcement on Levin's show because she's been upset that Fox News has given a platform to Karl Rove, one of her principal critics. "She isn't happy with Karl," one Palin adviser told me. "From day one, he hasn't been very nice." Levin had become Palin's biggest booster in the conservative commentariat, and Palin is known for rewarding loyalists, and punishing her detractors.

Roger Ailes had put his chips on seeing President Barack Obama being defeated. It didn't turn out that way. He fired Sarah Palin from Fox News. He's looking forward to firing Dick Morris. Karl Rove was rehired to Fox News this year. Rove is given limited speaking time on Fox News, though.

Shine was deputized to handle the matter. He spoke with Palin's agent, Bob Barnett, and told him that Ailes was furious with Palin's move and that she was at risk of being "benched." Fox still had to pay her, but they didn't have to give her airtime. Barnett spoke with Palin and told her about the problem. After she apologized, he called Shine back and told him that Palin recognized the misstep.

But tensions between Palin and Fox haven't subsided. Ailes, who told Newsweek that he hired Palin when she was "hot," clearly hoped she would boost ratings. But beyond her prime-time commentary, Palin hasn't turned into the television asset Ailes had hoped. Palin's contract is up in 2013 and it's became clear that the current fracas will mean the end of her future on Fox News. Part of her appeal as a pundit was that every appearance on the network was turbocharged by the "will-she-or-won't-she run" speculation. She's now given up that chip to play.

But Palin knows that she still has value as a gatekeeper to her grassroots base. A Palin adviser told me that she is planning to make an endorsement for a candidate in 2012. Palin, being Palin, is keeping it tightly held. "I have an idea of who it is," the adviser said, "but I'm not telling." What's clear is that Palin would be smart to make that announcement on Fox News.

Conservative agitator John Ziegler was Sarah Palin's closest friends and defenders. He went out of his way to help her. Ziegler was disappointed in the former governor. He made a controversial film in 2009 called Media Malpractice: How Obama Won The Election? The film claimed that supporters of the president were not informed and blinded by the "liberal media" bias against Senator John McCain (R-Arizona). McCain ran failed presidential campaign. Mitt Romney would later find himself as a failed presidential candidate.

Even her biggest defender John Ziegler turned sour on her. He wrote on The Huffington Post complaining about the former governor bubble bust. Ziegler complain that ever since her resignation, Palin has pretended to be a Tea Party Republican, endorsed three losing senate candidates in very winnable races, done a cheesy reality show, joined a partisan network, pretended to run for president for attention, and endorsed the corrupt Newt Gingrich for president as well as the absurd concept of a brokered convention.

He added that in a remotely rationally world, she has disqualified herself from ever holding legitimate elected office again. She is no longer a legitimate political figure. She is just a politically based and self-interested entertainer like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Bill Maher.

Unfortunately, far too few of my fellow conservatives seem to want to understand this obvious reality. Roger Ailes isn't always right, be he sure is here. Palin's Today Show stint made it clear that her Fox days may be numbered. Palin strayed away from Fox News numerous times. She appeared on NBC's Today show to compete with the rising Good Morning America. GMA was trying to muscle in Today's ratings when they've reintroduced Katie Couric on the program. NBC fired back with Sarah Palin being a feature on the network.

Ailes was so mad, he considered pulling her off the air entirely until her $1 million annual contract expires in 2013.

The Tea Party lost its queen.

I guess this time it's true. After three years as a paid contributor for the channel, FNC and the former Republican vice presidential nominee have decided to cut ties.

A source close to Palin told Real Clear Politics that it was [Roger Ailes'] the governor's decision not to renew their contract.

The Tea Party Queen is now joining perennial losers Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, and birther queen Orly Taitz as washed up politicians.

I guess Palin could blame President Barack Obama for all her failures. After all, they ran on this game until he won reelection.

The best of Sarah Palin will be explained in this video.
