Sarah Palin becomes Fair and Balanced(tm)

American stand-up comedian Sarah Palin has signed up with the satirical current affairs show, "Fox News", in what is sure to be a partnership which provides non-stop laughs to the few-remaining Americans with a measurable I.Q.

Dubbed the "First Lady of Farce", Palin quickly became recognised for her wit and hilarious antics during the last presidential election as she toured the U.S. filming a mockumentary about her life as a fictitious candidate.

Regardless of her increasingly zany persona, crowds of adoring Republicans seemed to buy the performance and would cheer wildly at rallies as she confused North and South Korea, claimed she could see Russia from her back porch, slammed public health as "evil" and was unable to name a single newspaper she'd ever read.



"I couldn't believe people ended up being taken in by the stunt", remarked a smirking Palin. "By the time we had to wrap up filming I'd even reached the stage of referring to government departments which didn't exist and claiming Afghanistan was one of our neighbouring countries."

"It was actually a bit scary."



In her new TV role, Palin hopes to hone her craft further as she works along side comedic masters such as Bill O'Reilly.

"Working with Bill is a dream come true for me", she gushed, "he's got to be one of the industry's greatest masters of satire and together we're hoping to push the boundaries of comedy even further. I'm looking forward to learning from a pro - I hear he even trained at Skull & Bones."

While tight-lipped about her exact role on the programme, Palin states she'll be breaking away from her well-known presidential candidate character and developing a somewhat darker act.

"The creative writers at Fox want me to become a kind of 'puppet of the New World Order'. I'll basically be a Zionist-loving, warmongering piss-brain who rubbishes anything not approved by my masters -- in this case, the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers and pretty-much the whole Trilateral Commission in general. I'll be pushing for the compulsory microchipping of every member of the public, too."

It won't be all heavy, though, as Palin is quick to add. "We'll be mixing it up with some lighter slapstick such as lobbying for anyone who wears religious headwear to be shot", she laughs.

"I'll be saying 'B.S.' and 'crap' a lot to make the target audience feel at home."

The series is set to debut later this year.
