Winky Booted From Fux

It's reported that Fux News "girlfriend" (see post below) half-term Gov. Sarah "Winky" Palin is leaving the cable channel, after Fux failed to renew her $1 million per year contract. Winky's chums claim that it was her decision, but we tend to think that a grifter doesn't walk away from a $1 million grift on her own. Fux said buh-bye to Winky by simply saying they wished her well (cough cough don't let the door hit ya cough cough).

Winky proved not to be the most incisive political analyst (bwahaha), and was widely condemned for her comments after the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords two years ago, when she referred to criticism of her use of a target over Giffords picture in a political ad as a "blood libel." Fux "News" chief Roger "What Ails You" Ailes reportedly called Winky "stupid" in private conversations, and limited her appearances on the cable channel last year.
