Just Look Who's Paying Tribute to Roger Ailes
Baltimore Sun ^ | June 9, 2005 | Liz Smith

Posted on 06/10/2005 1:52:54 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

GOOD EVENING. I know ... you're thinking somebody put the wrong video in the machine. It's kind of like the time somebody put the wrong State of the Union speech in my teleprompter. But it really is me, and I am really here to pay tribute to Roger Ailes!"

That's part of former President Clinton's videotaped message to be played tonight when the Jewish Community Relations Council honors Ailes at the Pierre Hotel. Ailes - like Clinton - has been a great supporter of the state of Israel and works to bring peace to the Middle East.

Clinton added: "I am especially grateful that Roger didn't work in the 1992 campaign. I mean, who knows how different history would have been if he had. I would have been spared all of his barbs in his later life as a media mogul, but I wouldn't have had the chance to be president."

Good to see that even Clinton can acknowledge the good work that Ailes does.

Do you ever get the feeling that the American public is being played for a bunch of saps by those at the very top?

I do.

He wants his wife treated with kid gloves by FOX in 2007-8.

Well .. Bill Clinton is very well aware the Jewish community is not happy with the democrats. We also know that Bill's wife is running for re-election and the presidency. I don't think this has anything to do with Bill "acknowleging the good work that Ailes does".

Horse hockey. More of a move to the center for the Clintons. Sure, Bill does it...but Hitlery will get some "credit".

The 'toons are shameless.

Me too. The thing that makes me mad is the talking heads who pretend to argue on the shout-shows, when you know that, during the commercials, they're joking around and talking about where to go to dinner after the show. All the DC biggies are in one big club, no matter which side they pretend to be on.
