CNN's Rudi Bakhtiar Met With Roger Ailes...

CNN's Rudi Bakhtiar met with Fox News brass earlier this week about a high profile position at the network, a source close to the situation said. She's telling friends she has an offer, and that Roger Ailes thought she was terrific. "She's a perfect fit with Fox -- she's a great anchor and is extremely camera friendly," the source said.

For you male Freepers out there.

Some inane news to close out the week.

[DTogo]

WOO-HOO!!

[Chuck54]

Yes I think this will work. She fits the "profile". Very easy on the eye.


LOL

[pissant]

It's true, I sent her over to see Ailes after she fixed my breakfast. Cheers

[fastattacksailor]

I second that...DAMN!

[bray]

Does this mean that Laurie Dhue is taking over for the Danosaur??

Pray for W and Our Troops

[sarasotarepublican]

Is she replacing anyone, or just an addition? Talk was that a popular Fox person was leaving.

[DTogo]

You were still sleeping/dreaming when THAT all happened! ;)

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Isn't this Rush's new girlfriend?

[Rastus]

No. That's Daryn Kagen or something.

[FreedomPoster]

Please, get her on board, and give her Greta's time slot.

[ProudVet77]

"extremely camera friendly"
exactly the what I was thinking, I may have to get cable.

[RVN Airplane Driver]

She is a fox for sure....makes this old mans blood rush all over his body....

There was a thread yesterday on this:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1292908/posts?page=43#43

Will be another reason to watch Fox if they are able to get her under contract. Wonder who she will replace, OReilly or Greta? (wishfull thinking)

[Rastus]

Kagan

[NeoCaveman]

She's too hot of a newsbabe not to work for FOX.

[Republican Red]

That "popular Fox person" leaving ended up being Monica Crowley. She signed with MSNBC. How in the heck she was considered anything but a frequent guest is beyond me.

I just wish Fox would start hiring some more eye candy for us 40-something ladies. They are already pretty well stocked on the females. lolol

[pissant]

I'd actually re-program my remote so it doesn't skip over CBS if they hired my gal Laurie.

[nuconvert]

pong

Red:

I volunteer myself for that post ;-)

When scrubbed and shaven, I look pretty decent, LOL


Besides, I look pretty sharp in my wheelchair

[montereyp1]

Hubba Hubba. Wat too pretty to be on CNN. Guess, Rush missed this one!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Great idea. Greta's smart enough to be on FOX, but I can only take about two minutes of her voice. Yeesh! And this from someone with one of those obvious mid-western, nasal-twangy voices, LOL!

I LOVE Rudi. I only watch CNN occasionally and am always glad if she's on to read the news to me, left-leaning or not. ;)

[montereyp1]

Let's see... We can just add her to the Laurie Dhue - Jane Skinner - line up. Too much for a happily married man to handle.

[montereyp1]

Not a ping but a schwiiiing!

[John Lenin]

She's hot and is Iranian.

[Question_Assumptions]

While I'm not always thrilled with her show's topics, Greta is by far one of the better legal and criminal issues hosts out there. She should stay on Fox.

[fastattacksailor]

I heard Crowley

[Dog]

Besides, I look pretty sharp in my wheelchair

LOL!!!!

[anniegetyourgun]

Also here from yesterday.

[avital2]

i agree that Greta does a pretty decent job and also is fairly nonpolitical which i like a lot.

[TruthWillWin]

Monica has not gotten much air time at Fox. She has been subbing for Scarborough on MSNBC this week. Wonder if they are going to give her her own show?

[My2Cents]

LOL...did you also set up the interview with Ailes to begin with?

[My2Cents]

Talk was that a popular Fox person was leaving.

God, please let it be BO'Re.

[Clemenza]

She is MY Ann Coulter! Post more photos at will!

[traderrob6]

You have always got Geraldo.....(sarcasm)

[KarlInOhio]

I could accept Greta if her show wasn't continual coverage of this week's "Trial of the Century".

[Marylander]

Greta is the smartest one for miles around. Overdoes topics, but really great on interviews: quick reactions, pertinent questions, no wasted words.

When she was defending OJ I thought she was awful, called her Greta van Satan. Now that she's neutral,I like her a lot.

[fastattacksailor]

might be the case---they need a little boost in the ratings.....

[My2Cents]

I agree. I think Greta is a pretty credible "anchor," or whatever she's called. I don't know that she can be blamed that she's reported on nothing but Scott Peterson for the past two years.

[SwinneySwitch]

I usually go to Scarborough Country when Greta comes on.

[sarasotarepublican]

That "popular Fox person" leaving ended up being Monica Crowley. She signed with MSNBC. How in the heck she was considered anything but a frequent guest is beyond me.

Thanks for the info. Why would Monica leave Fox for MSNBC, a sinking ship?

[CyberAnt]

Oh great .. just what FOX needs .. another CNN LIBERAL to add to the cabal.

[ChadGore]

[Ginifer]

Hopefully she will replace Geraldo....he's a total waste. I never watch when he is on since he is so insincere, ate up with the Hollyweird crowd, and with himself.

[bourbon]

sweet action!

[Americanwolf]

wouldn't that just be a coup... Getting Rudi from the Communist Comrades Network.... :)

guess she is getting sick of the red menance!

[ChadGore]

[Redbob]

Just a simple "WOW!"

---

(Does seem a little like rats leaving a sinking ship, though... hehehehe)

[Redbob]

Besides her obnoxious voice, couldn't Greta train herself to speak without twisting her mouth around like that?

That is SOOOOOO annoying!
