Herman Cain joins Fox News Channel as contributor

Former presidential candidate Herman Cain will be getting some regular TV work at Fox News Channel.

The network, part of News Corp., announced Friday that Cain, a failed Republican presidential contender in 2012, will be a network contributor. Cain, the former president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza from Georgia, will also contribute to the Fox Business Network.

Cain said he's looking forward to the job because it is "an opportunity to be one more voice for intelligent thinking in America."

Fox has been shuffling its contributor lineup since the election. It has hired Dennis Kucinich, Scott Brown and now Cain, while cutting ties with Sarah Palin and Dick Morris.

Anyone can listen to a pizza commercial, change the numbers from 5's to 9's, and call it a plan. I don't think that has anything to do with "intelligent thinking."

I also don't think having non knowledge whatsoever about the situation in Libya could be categorized as "intelligent thinking," but I'll give him a pass on that as it's more of a knowledge issue than a thinking one.

They are trying to upgrade. They went from Palin to Cain.

Next will be a Kardashian. But, you know, a smart one.

Just when FOX's ratings couldn't get any lower, FAUX decides to bring Mr. "Becki Becki Stan" onto the scene. Let's see if he can take them down even further in the ratings. And on top of that, a black man on FAUX? Who are they trying to fool? We'll see how this goes. One thing for sure, this will give the comedians more info for their shows. I look forward to the train wreck ahead.
