Fresh off of defeat at the hands of Howard Dean in the DNC Chairman race, former Rep. Martin Frost (D-TX) has a new gig: Fox News. The AP has the story:

Former U.S. Rep. Martin Frost has signed a deal to be a political commentator for the Fox News Channel, the 24-hour cable network announced Tuesday.

Frost lost his Dallas-area congressional seat in November after redistricting engineered by Majority Leader Tom DeLay forced him into a race with Rep. Pete Sessions in a more Republican-friendly district. Frost served 26 years in Congress.

Most recently, Frost dropped out of the race for Democratic national chairman after failing to win the support of organized labor. Howard Dean won the chairmanship last week.

Frost served as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which focuses on re-electing House members, after the 1994 Republican landslide.

Despite anything Kos or any other Dean-o-phile blogger might tell you, Frost is a fiercely partisan Democrat despite his moderate leanings. Although Fox News will never become either fair or balanced, it's great to hear that Frost will have some opportunity to get the Democrats' voice on the air.
