Roger Ailes hired former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin back as Fox News contributor to piss off people who wanted her dead. Ailes:
The only two people I knew who got worse press than her were Richard Nixon and George W. Bush — some of it unfairly, much of it unfair to her family. She’s recognizable, she’s attractive, and she still has the message of stop raising taxes. The Tea Party started as a group that [the government] could make go home to bake meatloaf at any point in the last three years by simply doing two things: Stop raising taxes and stop stealing their money. Congress can’t stop spending money. I’m not a defender of everything she says. I don’t hear everything she says. But I know she represents a certain group of people who rose up against their own party, which you rarely see. I probably hired her back, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, to give her a chance to say her piece and piss off the people that wanted her dead.

Oh gosh, dearest Finny, THANK YOU, for reminding me about this:
"It was like with Obama's "Way to the Future," and Palin remarking its "WTF" similarity, that was a hoot!! WTF! A "politely" obscene Americanism unique to America and one shared by everybody -- everybody got it. Even if they hated Palin. She sure knows how to connect."
You are so right! She is one in a zillion!
God bless her, and God bless and keep you, too and everyone you love.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and prolific support for Sarah, and the Palin family. We are under attack from multiple angles. So are they, and so is America. It makes my blood boil but it also strengthens my resolve. Catch ya’ later... lights out.

The more RINOs and get-along-to-go-along GOP-e’s that we replace with Tea Party folk, the better.
And the sooner the better as well.

There's a nice little vignette in Ailes' new book w/ Roger putting down candidate Obama bigtime.
Ailes saw through O's lies in a face-to face.
Ailes told O----"I saw a candidate on TV said what you just denied. He sounded like you. Looked like you. I think it was you."
===============================================
Book also has a nice pic of Roger w/ Pres Reagan.
