| In September 2008, Sarah Palin secretly met with Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes during her campaign tour through New York, a stop which included a friendly chit-chat with Henry Kissinger and a not-so-friendly chit-chat with Katie Couric. The private sit-down was a chance for Ailes and Palin to get to know each other. Ailes, who has said, "I never did focus groups on any talent I put on the air. It was all done out of my gut," spotted something early in the former Alaska Governor.

Comments: Sherman has written an unauthorized biography of Ailes.

Had my suspicions, but started anyway. Lost me on "Palin was outraged that her incendiary rhetoric was cited in connection with the Tuscon tragedy" or some such. What a dishonest bit of liberal reimagining and spinning! Liberals have their tropes; Bush lied people died, Palin "targeting" districts got Giffords shot, scary features on a gun make it an "assault weapon," and when they get a meme they like, nothing can move them off of them, truth be damned.

Fox chose Karl Rove over Sarah Palin. That says it all for me. No longer watch Fox (or listen to Sean Hannity) for that reason.

FTA: Although it seems like a stretch, the source said Palin is happy being out of the spotlight. "She´s enjoying what she’s doing. Enjoying a slowed down existence," the source explained. "She´s been off the stage, she kind of likes it."
Quitting?

#5 I agree. The problem is she doesn´t have the "proper education" from an Ivy League school. I think a lot of the problems the country is now facing is because of all those leftists from those schools are now running the country. They think they know it all and most have never worked a day. Everything is handed to them because of where they went to college. If I had my way I would shut them all down and fire all the progressive profs and start all over again. I loath the elites from these colleges who believe they are better than the rest of us state college educated plebs.

May be true....maybe not. We all know how people will lie about Palin. This the New Yorket magazine. Run by liberals who hate Palin and any other conservative. My first thought is that liberals lie and will accept any article that sheds a negative view on those they hate. I´m not a Big Palin fan but trust her words more than any liberal.

Conviction and courage will get you no where in this political climate. Anyone who shows a willingness to fight the status quo is immediately marginalized. The ruling class has no use for people who don´t know "their place". Only the elite Ivy League types or those who suck up to them will advance. Conservative warriors need not apply. This attitude is killing the Republican brand. God speed Gov. Palin. You aren´t the problem. People like you are the solution.

Hmmmm---strange when one only needs to look at the one posting the article as apposed to reading the headline or the article to know it will be a negative, half true bit of spittle. And, that it was! McGinnis, who now is visited with KARMA for his statements made up the story about Ayles comment concerning PALIN. One could say "what goes around, comes around". Beware!

I will probably get blasted for this but Sarah Palin is not electable and never was. That aw shucks country girl way she speaks makes her come off as unintelligent and although I have no doubt she isn´t stupid she works hard at sounding like she is. That plays well with some people but not so much for a lot of others. And yes the media unfairly beat the crap out of here but she started whining constantly about it and never developed the skills to deal with them. There. I said it.

So glad we have posters who can lead us into the proper direction. Because you posters have won the day is why the Repub party is done for and without any hope. Guess you enjoy losing.

Poor you. So kind of you to climb down off the cross and share that with us.
It is hard to find much sympathy for those who keep putting their fingers on the hot stove by responding to their Pavlovian impulse to say something catty about Sarah Palin on every single thread that mentions her even tangentially.
Yeah, we get it, you think Sarah is Teh Suxxor. How could we not, when you insist on inserting your tedious bromides into every conversation that involves the woman?
Somehow, it has never occurred to me to haunt threads looking for any positive comments about Mitt Romney to stomp on.

Opinions are tolerated including, Uranus is 99.2% cobalt, but to be taken seriously one needs to be grounded in reality. Unlike the usual suspects who have never been elected to anything of any consequence, Palin was elected Gov. Whether she can achieve higher office remains to be seen. Because of her glam looks and persona, the green eyed monster is always lurking close to the surface among the old hen gaggle; all of whom were big fans of doofus Romney. Predictable.

In case many of you haven´t noticed, Mittens is unelectable too!
Why do so many of our candidates run from a fight when we have the moral superiority of the high ground while we run and hid from our traditional views?
Ted Cruz and Sarah haven´t run from them. Oh how we long for a Champion who will not desert us!
No more "deals" with the opposition or spineless people lacking the strength of their convictions!

Rove-Ailes-Palin. None behaved really well. Ailes has bosses, and he must make money. Rove has a lot of clout since he has a twice-elected ex-President behind him. Palin was the acknowledged vote-getter in the McCain campaign...to the point that McCain worried that she´d outshine him (which she did) and muzzled her.
Rove is the old Establishment Republican Party who will fight the Tea Party at all costs. I´d like to see him gone and out of my world. Palin is Tea Party...young and attractive, honest and totally conservative. I see her as the voice of our future...once we get rid of the Republican Establishment.
So my take is that Rove bugged Ailes to lean on Palin and Palin over-reacted to being leaned upon to the point where she could have (and should have) showed more respect for the contract she signed with Fox.
Rove needs to get lost. Palin needs a good manager whose advice she will follow even when she doesn´t want to. Ailes, if he can, needs to quit turning Fox into an Establishment mouthpiece and become the voice of the Tea Party. He´s losing money now and he will have to quit treading water in the next couple years, I think.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

With three different scandals threatening to consume the White House last week—the Benghazi cover-up, the Justice Department’s seizure of the phone records of dozens of Associated Press reporters, and the revelation of an anti-Tea Party inquisition by the Internal Revenue Service—CNBC’s John Harwood offered his journalistic peers some advice on Twitter: “Those of us in political-media world should just shut up about ‘narratives’ and focus on what’s true.” CBS anchor Scott Pelley joined in: “We are getting big stories wrong, over and over again.” The fact that these sentiments needed to be expressed is a damning indictment of the media,

In the wee hours of the morning of January 27, 2013, a Wikipedia editor named “Qworty” made a series of 14 separate edits to the Wikipedia page for the late writer Barry Hannah, a well-regarded Southern writer with a taste for the Gothic and absurd. Qworty cut paragraphs that included quotes from Hannah’s work. He removed 20 links to interviews, obituaries and reminiscences concerning Hannah. He cut out a list of literary prizes Hannah had won. Two edits stand out. Qworty excised the phrase “and was regarded as a good mentor” from a sentence that started:

Pollster John Zogby reports in our weekly White House report card that President Obama´s scandal-filled disaster week has cost him his majority support and sapped enthusiasm for his second term. "As Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth might have said, this was ´weekus horribilis´ for President Obama. Three fires in the form of three scandals to put out in one week. Are locusts next? While Obama has tried to get ahead of each -- Benghazi, the Associated Press, and the IRS vs. the Tea Party -- the time to get ahead of these things is, well, ahead of them.

Prompted by Peggy Noonan´s claim in The Wall Street Journal that "we are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate," Andrew Sullivan steps forward to defend Pres. Obama´s honor. "Can she actually believe this?," he asks incredulously. "Has this president broken the law, lied under oath, or authorized war crimes? Has he traded arms for hostages with Iran? Has he knowingly sent his cabinet out to tell lies about his sex life? Has he sat by idly as an American city was destroyed by a hurricane?

Security along the U.S. border with Mexico is perhaps the key factor in the debate over comprehensive immigration reform. Those who believe the border is mostly secure already are more inclined to support the plan of the bipartisan Gang of Eight in the Senate -- legalization first, followed by enhanced security. Those who believe the border is still far from secure are more likely to oppose the Gang of Eight´s approach, insisting that heightened security measures be in place before the nation´s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants are legalized. Now, a new report from the Council on Foreign Relations

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
