Rick Santorum: Fox News Suspension Came Without Network Asking About My 2012 Plans

After news broke on Wednesday that Fox News was suspending former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum as a contributor to the network, it didn't take long before the potential presidential contender spoke out on the matter.

Appearing on CNN's "John King USA" the same day, Santorum said the decision to sever ties came after never being asked by anyone at Fox News about his plans for 2012.

According to the network, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who both contribute to the network and are believed to be mulling presidential campaigns, have not been suspended in their roles.

"I don't know why Fox differentiated, whether there's been conversations," he said. "They didn't talk to me and ask me whether I'm running or not. It wasn't something that we had a conversation about. I don't know whether other people have had conversations."

4. Shit or get off the pot, Santorum

Same for your buddy Gingrich.

You don't get to live off media speculation and the royalties that come with the uncertainty.

Are you in or out? It's as simple as that. Funny how FAUX is the enforcer here.

5. Take a hint Ricky

Maybe you were suspended because you are a major bore and suck as a, ah - um, well, you suck at whatever it is that you are supposed to be doing there on Fox. You must really stink to be that conservative and still lose your gig at that republican hell hole.

15. Why weren't Palin, Huckabee, or Bolton suspended, also?

Kind of curious.
