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."

FOX news--the republican welfare state . . . . .

[Ohsherri]

I can't believe Tucker would lower himself like this.

[jimrs6]

It is amazing that he would deign to appear on a network that actually viewers that number more than 3 digits. Does he not understand the anonymity he is giving up be leaving MS-NBC??

[noudidnt]

Here's hoping Joe Scarborough follows them soon. Very soon.

Yah, Dana. And when you're done with this White House gig we'll set you up with something sweet--ummmm, let's see.....something at Fox News perhaps. Don't Worry, nothing too challenging...all you'll have to do is be able to set your alarm clock and pick out a nice dress....What do you say?

[tlgeiger62]

Don't they make a cute couple!

[scotia626]

eventually "joining fox news" will prove to be the nail in many a career coffin!!! give it time give it time

[jordan3189]

Yeah right, how's that working for you lately??? How many people have been replaced on msnbc?

[sleeperd]

Let's see:
The Conservatives have Dana Perino--The Libs have Helen Thomas.

I think that pretty well sums things up.

What is taking Faux News so long to just bring the entire former Bush crew on board as contributors?

[Shayrae]

Probably because the whole crew is busy lawyering up for the war crimes convictions to come.

[mawied]

Fox doesn't deserve Tucker, but Perino deserves to be thrown to the wolves.

Keith O and Rachel Maddow get their facts truth out.. Fixed news is entertainment remember gas tank and lite a match with Glen Beck, disgusting and immoral period...... now who in other civilized nations would tolerate this at all..unacceptable...same reason why Micheal Savage radio host is banned from ever visiting Britian period.bashing Isalm, autistic children and gays.Britian called it .....foster extremism---putting all human beings in danger....people do not accept or tolerate this period, let alone call this news

I wish they would Morning Joe with them.

[JerryLevy]

Let's see, George Stephanopolis formerly of the Clinton Whitehouse is supposedly engaged in objective reporting on ABC, Brian Williams on NBC Evening News formerly of the Jimmy Carter whitehouse is engaged in objective news reporting. I have a problem when former political operatives from a party or a government engage in news reporting. They should be able to do commentary, but not news reporting. Look at the so called news documentary on PBS by Bill Moyers who was in the Johnson Administration. That might be the biggest piece of advocasy no one watches that I know of.

[Subversive]

If Brian Williams worked in the Carter white House, how old was he? Carter became president in 1977, so Williams was how old? 15?

[Balzac]

Now they can interview Joe the Plumber. Fox is the network for re-tread political hacks from an era of profound failure.

[lynettema]

Even Joe is leaving the GOPers.

"Tucker Carlson and Dana Perino have joined Fox News as contributors..."

"Contributors?" Really? Because maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought contribute meant to give or add something generally thought to have value.

[dnddays]

They are contributors. They contribute the view of the Republican Party as expressed by Roger Ailes.

[Antifascist-08]

Is Tucker boy wearing straight ties now? What happened to the preppy geek look? Tucker, don't change, we like you just the way you were.

The collective IQ of Fox just went up by nearly 50 points!
