Sarah Palin Eyeing Radio Job?

Now that Sarah Palin's job as governor of Alaska is finito, she may be hoping to parlay her dubious popularity to radio, reports Inside Radio.

Alaska’s now former Governor is coy about her future political plans, but radio is at least one option she’s leaving on the table. While not exactly shopping the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential candidate, sources say Palin representatives have been quietly testing the waters to see how much interest radio syndicators have for her.

Sources say Palin hasn’t committed to radio either, but rather it could be a possible next step for her. It isn’t unusual for a defeated national candidate to turn to radio. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee’s short-form commentaries air on more than 400 stations via Citadel Media. He remains among the names circulated for a potential presidential run in 2012.

Coming to radio would be an ironic twist for Palin, whose position on the media is pretty clear. “Quick making things up,” she told reporters in her final speech as Governor last week.

PS: Here's William Shatner reciting Palin's farewell speech on the Tonight Show. Comedy gold. Well, at least it didn't need as much work as her resignation speech.
