Decrepit Nixonian Assbag Roger Ailes on why Fox News hired Human Infomercial, Sarah Palin:
“I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings,” he declares.
hot?
or not?
Fox News’ GOP-establishment driven messaging is shamefully self-evident. However, I completely agree with Ailes that Palin’s hire was driven by cosmetic considerations. If I’m looking for someone who can articulate the agenda I’m trying to propagate, I’m not going to go with the person who thinks Paul Revere is the guy who rode his F-150 to warn the British that Obama is killing Israel.
However, if I want to sell advertising, I’m going to hire the woman who inexplicably has legions of devoted followers who throw money at her, even though the woman hasn’t accomplished or completed anything of substance.
And some people apparently thinks she’s hot, though I think the caveat “if you’re into that sort of thing” or “for a republican” should always be included with that description.
So there ya go, Roger. Couldn’t agree more. Congratulations on your brief trek into the territory of the truthful.
For the record, this is my first Sarah Palin-related post since 1/20/10. I’m pretty awesome.
Gratuitous World
