Quote of the Day

"I know for a fact that Roger Ailes admires and respects Sarah Palin and thinks she is smart. He also believes many members of the left-wing media are extremely terrified and threatened by her. Despite a massive effort to destroy Sarah Palin, she is still on her feet and making a difference in the political world. As for the 'Republican close to Ailes' for which the incorrect Palin quote is attributed, when Roger figures out who that is, I guarantee you he or she will no longer be 'close to Ailes.'"

Bill Shine, Fox News' executive vice president.

Responding to a media story that Roger Ailes thinks that Sarah Palin is stupid.

Contrary to what Shine wants people to believe, the media loves Palin. Not that they think Palin is smart. Palin is a controversy magnet and gives scribes something to write about. Palin provides comedy material for this blog.
