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.

The Boss reacts to Sarah Palins speech at the Billy Graham Birthday Celebration: Is there any way that she could be put to sleep? If they put a bunch of scientist together to assemble the dumbest person in the world
they couldnt make one more stupid than her. Apparently, the Old Racist Coke-Snorting Cradle-Robber has never met Barack O****, who is EASILY "the dumbest person in the world".
Or Imus is too chicken to tell the truth about his Leader Barack...

Whenever he came on during the AM drive, I used to mutter "Anus in the Morning", and immediately switch the station.
Had no idea the old troll was still alive.

Well, its better than it used to be but for a 4 year run EVERY Palin mention brought down a flock of PDSers and every thread devolved. Have you noticed that nearly all of them have now completely disappeared from FR?

There are still some vocal try-hards but yes, many of the crew is gone. But then Palin hasn’t been in the news as much. But once she is again, so too will they return.
Sorta like Herpes. Can’t really be rid of it either.

The worst and the ugliest of the bunch are gone.

Most. But one of the worst of the worst is still here. And although he/she (not sure) toned it down a lot there is the occasional reversion to form.

Okay, let's score a marker for Ailes, that he can redeem later. This was a class move by a guy who didn't need to do it, to a woman who thoroughly deserves it.
Oh, I know -- let's get St. Peter to hire Ailes as Assistant Doorkeeper at the Pearly Gates. The moonbats won't care -- they're all functional materalists anyway. The ones who aren't actually Satanists.

Hey, Roger, here have a little truth serum so you can say:
I probably hired her back, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, because she is a huge ratings draw.

Are you sure that’s a dude in your pix? Looks like an ugly old woman to me.

C’mon, he is doing it for ratings.
But Palin is great and might even inspire me to watch that channel again on occasion.

It’s always been sad and scary that someone like Governor Palin, a successful woman, wife and mother of a large family, would be so reviled by some in our society.
She’s the kind of person that society used to support years ago, but now she’s a target.
Just freaky.
