Paula Abdul Quits American Idol; Joins Sarah Palin in Higher Purpose

Los Angeles, CA—

Paula Abdul announced today that she was leaving the popular American Idol TV show to join former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in “that higher calling stuff.”

“You know,” said Abdul, “American Idol is important and all that, but I just felt something was missing. And Sarah seems so smart and hot in that naughty-librarian sort of way. I just thought that teaming up with her in whatever she’s doing sounded like so much fun.”

“She was so right about everything in her farewell speech,” Abdul continued, “The media does make stuff up! I mean, like I’d ever hook up with Corey Clark—Eew! And I want to fight for what is right and the truth and stuff like that, too!”

When asked to comment governor Palin said, “That is so cool! She is so my BFF! I am so looking forward to working with someone who is involved with a campaign that received as many or more votes last year than I did.”

After that statement, an aide whispered in her ear and Ms. Palin was heard to respond, “What do you mean she’s not going to be on TV anymore!?”
