(The Stir) - There was once a time where Sarah Palin was the queen of the news. Any story written about her went viral and any TV show featuring her was a success. But a series of gaffes and embarrassing blunders caused her to fall from grace. Fastest. Perhaps the fastest of anyone in media history.

The latest news...that Palin has been dropped from Fox News where she was a commentator...isn't a surprise, but it does kind of represent the true end of the Palin era.
