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.

Uh no. Shahpour Bakhtiar who was former PM close to the Shah of Iran is her family member. He was killed by the Ayatollahs.

Yes, the organization that she belongs to supports that the current state of Iran undergo a change of Government.

There is no indication that she is a GOP Republican.

Calling Rudi Bakhiar a Republican as in the American Political Party is like calling supporters of the IRA GOP Republicans.

She ought to be another one of those BBC babes, just to round out the picture. May not have a proper regional accent for the BBC though (drives me nuts when Ms. CE watches the BBC news...multi-culti babes, lame-o males).

I don't think the "Republican" in the name of the Iranian group means she's a "republican" .. but I could be wrong.

Right on! Rudi isn't even an anchor, just a glamorous news reader. And dontcha just hate it when she maintains her inane smile when reading off something about a plane crash or carbombing?

I seriously doubt you'd be spewing this on the Republican Hispanic Assembly. Apparently you're racist and prejudicial against Iranian-Americans. That's fine, but please drop the petty replies.

Frankly i could give a crap what you think about Republicans whose ancestors are from Iran.

Have a nice day.

Excuse me .. you're the one who tried to pass off an organization as being "republican" just because it had the word Republican in it .. ROTFLOL!! The only reason you're mad is that you got caught. You liberals never learn .. we aren't stupid.

I don't care what kind of organization Rudi belongs to - but to suggest that she's a republican just because that word appears in the title of an organization she belongs to is just beyond ignorant.

I never, ever said they were a "liberal organization". I said that using the word "Republican" is not a guarantee that the organization is conservative .. and I cited Saddam's own "Republican Guard" .. which is obviously not conservative.

I notice she is serving as the "infobabe" for the Paula Zahn show on the regular CNN channel right now.
