The Hollywood Reporter serves as Sarah Palin's job-search engine

The Hollywood Reporter, deciding the Presidential election is over, today looks for work for Sarah Palin, conveniently overlooking the fact that she still has a state to run. But their conceit is that Palin has a promising career on the TeeVee awaiting her; their interviewees just can't agree what genre best suits her - chat-show hostess or news pundit. (One cheeky guy suggests she get her own "Osbournes"-style reality show, while another floats the notion that she's too polarizing to succeed on television, forgetting that even in today's fragmented TV landscape, she'd still manage to land a sizable audience.)

Well, of course Fox News is going to go after her, though they'll have to pony up a pretty penny for her stylists, if not the people who advise her on policy. After all, if they're willing to pony up $10 million for Bill O'Reilly (really? was there a bidding war?), money spent on Palin and her wardrobe and makeup artist would seem a veritable bargain.

I can't really picture her going the Oprah route, but I think someone's missing a really good bet in not giving Palin a children's educational show on civics and social studies. She could have a little sock-puppet monkey sidekick and explain what it is Vice Presidents do (in her view, whatever they darn-tootin'-well want).

On second thought, I may have just described a Fox News show.
