Santorum: 'Don't know why' Fox didn't suspend contributors Palin, Huckabee
By Jordan Fabian - 03/03/11 06:30 AM ET


Fresh off his suspension as a Fox News contributor, former Sen. Rick Santourm (R-Pa.) on Wednesday questioned why Fox did not suspend two other potential GOP presidential candidates working for the network.

Though he said Fox "made the right call" in suspending Gingrich and himself, Santorum is not sure why the network did not take similar actions with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R). Asked in an interview with CNN if he thinks they are going to run for president, Santorum said, "I don't know.

"I mean, I don't know what, 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."

1. They didn't want to get into a sticky situation with Santorum?
Or maybe they just don't like you, Rick.

5. Because Huckabee and Palin are liked and watched
and Santorum and Gingrich are hated and ignored? Just my guess that it is all about money.

8. It's my guess that they really would support a Huckabee or Palin
campaign over a Santorum or Gingrich campaign. Take away the time and platform from their lesser liked candidates and give it to their chosen few.

I know its a money thing as in Huck has a show and Palin is popular there, but he is right to question

14. Because Palin and Huckabee don't look like they fuck farm animals three times a day.
Sorry, dickwad - you and the Gingrinch both do.

And CORRECT THE DAMN OP! Asshole Sanitorium wasn't from PA when he was supposed to be one of our senators. He lived in fucking Leesburg, VA the entire time. All he had was a shack in Penn Hills, PA that he used to fuck them out of $100,000 in tuition for his brats' "cyber schooling". He STILL hasn't paid them back.

If I ever see that fucker in public, I'll drop my pants so he can kiss my hairy ass in front of everyone.

16. Because Fox decided they only needed 2 scalps to maintain the "fair and balanced" charade?

18. Simple answer. Those two losers are not running. Just pretending to.
When it comes down to the rubber hitting the road, they will stay in their plush anchor chairs at FAUX, raking in the cash instead of throwing it down the toilet for another losing campaign.
