Tucker Carlson, Dana Perino Join Fox News As Contributors

Tucker Carlson and Dana Perino have joined Fox News as contributors, the Huffington Post has learned.

Carlson hosted the 6PM hour on MSNBC until March 2008, when his show, "Tucker," was canceled. Since then, he served as a senior campaign correspondent for MSNBC and has written for The Daily Beast.

Perino served as White House Press Secretary from September 2007 through the end of George W. Bush's second term. Last month, it was announced she'd be joining Mark Penn's public relations firm, Burson-Marsteller, as "chief issues counselor."

Well....Tucker has been lost for some time.....I am glad that he found a home....where he will still be lost but at least he will be comfortable and surrounded with people just like him.

As for Dana Perino....being the press secretary for the Bush White House.....and then going to a Station that was the mouth peice for the Bush White house......was a very short jump.

Two more reasons not to watch F OX

Thank goodness we will have these luminaries protecting the interests of the rich and powerful. Heaven knows how the wealthy and well-connected would manage without this pair of advocates on their side!

Fair and Balanced?

Tucker - CNN to MSNBC & now to "Fixed" News - finally Corporatist Tucker has found his home!

Good luck Tucker - fighting for the down-trodden corporations & the top 1% (the haves & the have mores)!

Wear your CORPORATE bow-tie with the Limbaugh seal of approval & be sure to enjoy polishing apples for Hannity & O'Reilly!

No jobs have to start somewhere, it's like working for a Five star resturant and ending up at McDonalds.

Well GOOOOOLY, SURPRISE,SUPRISE!!!

Hey Fox, got any room left for David Gregory, Mornin Joe, or John King? They have all been working so hard to impress you and your followers.

Yes! And it counts!!! (Marv Albert voice)

Of course, you never have the same thing at MSNBC. Shuster and Olberman are the ultimate in intelligent discourse.

You can't defend your act of robbery by telling the cop to look down the street to the guy who's committing a slightly bigger robbery!

Huh. Wow. Didn't see that coming. I hear it's also gonna be dark skies again tomorrow night. Wonders never cease to amaze me.

Perhaps they should share the same seat -that way they can finish each other's thoughts...or sentences, as the case may be.

I see Tucker made it "home" to Fox Noise.
He never fit in over at MSNBC.

OMG, two more parrots to advance the republican/right winger talking point of the day. Two more to say,"I agree" or "ditto". And two more reasons not to watch FOX!

[ChelseaC]

Wait and see, Miss California will be getting a gig a Fox too--when she's done with The Donald that is.

[bghta]

big freaking deal.is anybody shocked by this.so all the right wing people will just love them.DUH!!!

[Tulka2]

It's too bad. We need a loyal opposition. It would help us all think better to trust the other side's intentions. She is a dim bulb with an angel face and he... well, i always hope for him and he always disappoints. If i were writing the novel...? He is an envious man. Envy is unbecoming.

[voter42]

Sounds like they found their home.

[rodajones]

Where else could they talk and it would be called "contributing"? On any other network it would be called criticizing.Since that is all they will do.
