Yahoo News.....read it for yourself...more than halfway down the story..
20th paragraph down, if you link and cannot find it...

http://news.yahoo.com/why-fox-news-dropped-sarah-palin-164000188.html

"Her relationship with Fox News CEO Roger Ailes – who hired her because “she was hot and got ratings” – are reported to have been pricklish."


Now ....it ain't me..is it???

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

In all honesty..It wasn't Yahoo News...I found out that the story was written by
Brad Knickerbocker | Christian Science Monitor – 8 hrs ago...........Yahoo News picked it up from them.

Brad is responsible for the word, "pricklish"...a writer at Christian Science Monitor..
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/2013/0126/Why-Fox-News-dropped-Sarah-Palin/

look for the word and sentence...on page 2...Yahoo News didn't write it..Christian Science Monitor did..

my guess is this will be rewritten in a few hours..

1. Somewhere real journalists are rolling in their graves

because there doesn't appear to be any living ones.

[arthritisR_US]

25. A sad truth

[unblock]

27. i'm beginning to feel there's no point to serious journalist...

... when the actual news has become so surreal.

i can only imagine poor walter conkite having to cover the nomination of sarah palin....

"today, republican presidential nominee john mccain announced that he had passed over many notable and prominent republicans and selected as his vice-presidential running mate an obscure, half-term pageant clown from the state whose previously was most known in presidential history for signifying the electoral incompetence that doomed nixon's 1960 campaign. if today does not mark a major telltale moment in the decline in the reputation of the republican party, then it does so in the reputation for our entire nation.

and that's the way it was."

2. Oh dear! nt

[marmar]

3. It's the Jerry Springer Show everywhere this woman goes.

4. What's a word salad without a little pricklish?

[niyad]

5. I googled the word--and this post was #3 on the list.

"no definition found" though there were a number of examples of people using it. sigghhhh.


pricklish
- no dictionary results

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pricklish?s=t

even went to urban dictionary:

pricklish isn't defined yet.

[Cirque du So-What]

9. Yeah, I did that too

We're number 3! We're number 3!

The word for which this so-called 'journalist' was looking is 'prickly,' although I consider proper it proper usage to call one or the other parties - or both - prickly, as it doesn't seem right to call the relationship prickly. In any event, I'm gratified to see a word containing 'prick' used in association with the loathsome Ailes.

[niyad]

10. probably because the word "contentious" would have confused their readers

[Cirque du So-What]

11. Probably right

To their target audience, that's one of them high-falutin' fifty-cent words - the sort used by pointy-headed ivory-tower intelleckshulls.

[Stuart G]

12. Terrific...let us go to number one...we are "hot" and "PRICKLISH" yea....

[niyad]

15. we are now #3 and #4

[Voice for Peace]

18. why ticklish and not pricklish? seems unfair

tickly and prickly
ticklish and pricklish

[pinboy3niner]

13. I think you're absolutely right about the usage

So...does this give us license to describe the relationship between Ailes and Hannity as 'tickly'?

[Cirque du So-What]

19. I don't see why not

except that now I need a good dose of brain bleach.

[Happyhippychick]

6. She should refudiate that!

[pinboy3niner]

8. She probably would've--if she hadn't quit reading half-way through the story

[Scuba]

7. They're both pricks.

[Stuart G]

14. If you google "Sara Palin pricklish" we are number one...number one...number one.... oh my...

who put that up..anyway????

[niyad]

17. so look what I found in google search

Bishop Morlino’s Pricklish Personality Might Prove Costly

22. Yahoo News...stole it from the Christian Science Monitor...here is the proof..

23. sorry--what does the palin story being from csm have to do with the bishop's story?

I was pointing out that somebody used the word in 2008.

[Stuart G]

24. my errror...sorry for relating the two.

Didn't mean to include the bishop story in that comparison..
That post should have been in another place.....

[2pooped2pop]

16. well, he is a prick

and she could perhaps be described as lish. So pricklish is correct.

[Angry Dragon]

29. That was my thought also

[patrice]

20. Most of the women in America probably recognized what that wink meant: SP is a pricklish tease, so

I imagine she gets herself into situations now and then in which people end up feeling used and I also imagine that Roger Ailes is not used to being in that position at all, though I have to admit that it is an open question of who used whom and just how much.

[sad-cafe]

21. will be glad when news of her is over

she should have never been given national attention

[Stuart G]

26. yes..and that time is coming...and... I think very very soon...

She will be like an after thought..
...a second string player on right wing talk radio..

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

28. indeed

The Sarah Palin gospel hour. It will be broadcast out of a tent.Sister Sarah.

[rhett o rick]

30. Sara Palin was the biggest joke played on the Republican teabaggers.

After Bush the oligarchs could see the writing on the wall. They decided to back away and let the Democrats have a term. No voter suppression, no stealing of elections. And who did they pick but numbnuts McCain to lead the ticket and to top it off, Sara Palin to be under him. She was an insult to average republican white males. Granted she was "hot", but wayyyyy to uppity for them.

[spanone]

31. what a filthy mind you have.....

[Stuart G]

32. This update says Sara was offered a new contract...but....

But it was a fraction of what the other one was. ...here is the update quote:

UPDATE – Howard Kurtz reports on the Daily Beast Saturday:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/01/25/fox-made-limited-effort-to-keep-sarah-palin.html

“Fox News offered Sarah Palin a new contract before she decided to part ways with the network where she has held forth as a commentator for the last three years.

“However, it would be hard to describe it as a generous contract….

“The new contract offered by Fox, say people familiar with the situation, would have provided only a fraction of the million-dollar-a-year salary. It was then that Sara turned it down and both sides agreed to call it quits."

Do you think she knows what this really means?? Will she become the Orly Taitz of ex candidates? Can she make a brand of her own?
She was angry because they did not have her on enough, will she be on more somewhere else?..What will become of this ugly mean excuse for living flesh?..Will there be another chapter? or will one have to find more on some local 500 watt outlet in Alaska?...time will tell, but it does not look swell................
