Fox News On Christine O'Donnell: 'No Plans To Hire Her'

Shortly after Republican Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell lost her race for the Senate from Delaware, media-watchers began speculating that she might follow Sarah Palin's path and become a Fox News contributor.

"O'Donnell would be latest case that a losing candidate can have more media juice (Palin 2.0). Could be smart for Fox to sign her," New York Magazine's Gabriel Sherman tweeted.

"Fox will TOTALLY sign her - if they haven't already," Mediaite's Rachel Sklar chimed in.

But Fox News says it isn't happening.

The network told Mediaite it has "no plans to hire her."

O'Donnell made Fox News her national media home during her campaign (as much as she did national media), following the advice of Palin, who advised her to "speak through Fox News." O'Donnell also reportedly boasted to Republicans that she had "Sean Hannity in [her] back pocket."

No wonder Fox doesn't want her - she's not NEARLY as dumb as Pa.lin, or as charismatic - she's just STOO.PID

Add Fixed News to the list. Delaware and the U.S. don't want her either.

Fox News doesn't have fully functioning mousebrains after all. What ability they might possess to emulate the process called thought is still under investigation.

This poor train wreck of a human being will do just fine for a while on her reality show. What do you want to bet that a contract has already been signed and a show is close to production. No one else will take her seriously and this will be her only recourse. It doesn't sound as though she has any viable job experience other than running for office. Count on it.

As Fox promoted the rise of these light-wing extremists of the right, so Fox may well go down as Americans grow out of their taste for adolescent faux populism by the poorly informed among us

Buh, buh, but why NOT? She's an uninformed, undereducated, narcissitic liar, what's not for FAUX 'news" to love? She'd fit right in. She's easily as ridiculous as Gretchen Carlson. And that's saying something!

Frankly I am going to miss some of these clowns running for an office........ because some of the best comedians, it turns out ........ are being perfectly serious. I just wish Bush had stumped for some of them with his distinct phraseology too. Now I have to get used to not so funny insanity again, well except for Glen Beck.

"Fox News: We Don't Want Christine O'Donnell"

Delaware didn't want her, either.

But Sarah Palin does.
