The long list of Republican failures continue to find easy work at Fox News.

Former GOP Senator Scott Brown (R-MA), the one-time Tea Party hero who recently lost to Elizabeth Warren, is next in line for the Fox Welfare Network.

Fox has a longstanding record of hiring GOP failures, whether it’s Karl Rove, Dick Morris or Sarah Palin. Though, interestingly, Fox recently showed Rove, Morris and Palin the door.

It seems as though Fox is trying to “lighten” its image by going Republican-lite. But lest anyone forget, Scott Brown was a teabagger who, once elected, tried to pretend he was more moderate. Nonetheless, this strikes me as yet another sign that Fox, for whatever reason, is slowly moving away from the craziest of the crazies, and trying to establish itself as more mainstream, or at least a kinder and gentler Republican.

Strikes me that all the criticism of Fox is finally causing some pain.
