Roger Ailes, president of Fox News Channel, is the subject of a new biography in which he's quoted as saying President Obama is "lazy."
Fox News chief Roger Ailes doesn't mince words in a new biography: President Obama is "lazy" and Vice President Joe Biden is "dumb as an ashtray."
But it's not just Democrats who get withering reviews from the conservative media icon. Ailes suggests that Sen. Marco Rubio is too soft and Newt Gingrich is a "sore loser" and an unprintable reference to male anatomy.
The blunt characterizations appear in Vanity Fair's adapted excerpt of "Roger Ailes: Off Camera," by Zev Chafets. Ailes cooperated with the book, which will be published March 19.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes is quoted in a new biography as saying he likes Joe Biden but thinks the vice president is "dumb as an ashtray."
The comment about Obama was reportedly made during last year's presidential primary season as Ailes was briefed about Democratic operative Hilary Rosen's remark that Ann Romney had never worked a day in her life.
“Obama’s the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn’t public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time," Ailes said, according to the excerpt.
"He’s lazy, but the media won’t report that,” he said, then added that Obama had admitted being lazy in an interview with Barbara Walters.
In a 2011 interview with Walters, Obama said, "There is a deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there’s a laziness in me," adding, "It’s probably from, you know, growing up in Hawaii, and it’s sunny outside and sitting on the beach.’”
During the briefing on Rosen, Ailes also was told that Gingrich -- a former Fox commentator -- complained the network's support for Mitt Romney had hurt his chances.
"Brush him back," Ailes told his spokesman, according to Vanity Fair. "He's a sore loser and if he had won, he would have been a sore winner." Then he followed up with an off-color five-letter insult.
At a Fox Latino staff meeting, Ailes revealed he liked Rubio but didn't know if he was vice-presidential material.
"He's a nice guy and that role requires kicking the crap out of your opponents," he said.
"I have a soft spot for Joe Biden," he added. "I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray."
Asked whether Ailes stands by the remarks, Fox News issued a statement: "Vanity Fair excerpts a fraction of a 272-page book so it would be impractical to comment without having read the entire body of work in context.”
The book says Ailes, 72, revels in his role as a free-wheeling tough guy but also has a fatalistic streak and think's he'll be dead within a decade.
Chafets wrote that he asked Ailes what he thinks heaven will be like.
“I’m pretty sure that God’s got a sense of humor,” he said. “I think he gets a laugh out of me from time to time, so I suppose things will be all right.”
Asked what would happen if God was a liberal, Ailes replied, “Well, hell, if God’s a liberal, that’s his business...But I doubt very much that he is. He’s got a good heart.”

Something has to explain the poor job Obama is doing. Perhaps it is laziness.
Aisles is a pig. Just look at him.
He could be cast to play the lead in Orwell's Animal Farm.
"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
Fox News Chief is DEFINED as Dumb As An Ashtray.
Fox News ANYTHING is Dumb As An Ashtray
.
We're talking about looks? I guess Michelle will be Chewbacca in the Star Wars remake, then.
I don't understand why there is a picture of Jabba the Hutt on this article.
Ailes is a perfect caricature of why Republicans have been and will continue to lose elections.
Judge not that you be not judged Ailes.
If Obama is lazy then what was Bush?
Bob Freebird
I don't understand why there is a picture of Jabba the Hutt on this article.
Biden?
Slightly less incompetent
Keep putting Bush up on that pedestal..........
YEAH . . and the Republicans would win a genius award? The group of morons and and fools trotted out by Republicans for the election would be unable to form a parade. The most intensive propaganda machine ever operated by a public TV stations ---- FOX NEWS ---- failed to sell these pathetic losers.
Republicans bring on the greatest recession in a century with disastrous policies, and they are brilliant?
Republican/Tea Bigots champion more wealth transfer to the uber wealthy, and you got your clocks cleaned by sane Americans.
Republican/Tea Bigots seek more opportunities for wars they won't pay for . . . refuse to support health care and jobs for homecoming soldiers . . . and allowed hospitals for war heroes to fall into disrepair.
Republican/Tea Bigots refuse to sponsor more jobs repairing America's collapsing infrastructure, adding teachers, police, firemen but that's simply great in your feeble mind.
Republican/Tea Bigots think health care is only for the rich, although their own Heritage Foundation designed large portions of Obamacare when Romney presented it in Massachusetts. Hypocrite?
Republicans run from the gun lobby rather than seek sane gun regulations and background checks? Morons or simply sold out to the gun lobby. Pimp much?
The interesting thing is that after graduation, Obama worked for a law firm and then was a lecturer (professor) of Constitutional Law at a prominent law school. He was making over $100k a year at the latter. "Never earned a dime in his life"???? I guess 11 years as a teacher doesn't count!!!
What a jerk, why would you go making fun of an ashtray like that.
That "ashtray" is smarter than George W. Bush, the C average college cheerleader/AWOL from the military, good 'ol boy incompetent jerk.
Ailes doesn't think Bush was lazy because Bush attented the required Fox News briefing every morning to get his propoganda points.
No one had to write a book to tell us that Biden is as dumb as an ashtray. He proves it every time he opens his mouth and makes one of his inane comments or when he flashes that goofy smile. The country is in big trouble if something should prevent Obama from finishing his second term and Biden has to take over as president, and that is saying a lot, considering the bang up job Obama is doing.
Biden is smart enough to not watch the crap that Fox shovels.
Common sense,
So what were President Obama's grades? Oh, that's right. He paid over $1mil in legal fees to keep his college transcripts a secret.
You dont get through Harvard or get on Harvard Law review or become a community leader by being lazy. Just look at who is calling anoyne names...a money grubbing, stuffed suit who is the last one to be calling anyone names. Ailes is a fat, propaganda spining Liar! The ones who are lazy are the congress not the president...so least be serious here!!!
Ailes is honest enough to speak the truth we all know! Just about everything that comes out of sleepy Joe's mouth is a misspeak! Including when he said during the debate: "I mean what I say", lol!
Wouldn't it be nice if the old liberal media questioned some of the comments the Vice President says?
If you have ever said that liberals believe that government is the solution, not the problem; if you have ever said that Obama loves making government bigger; if you believe that Obama is out to destroy this country, then riddle me this:
Why in the world would you complain that Obama is "lazy"?
Something has to explain the poor job Obama is doing.
Poor job??
Job losses per month in January 2008: 800,000
Job gains last month: 160,000
33 straight months of private sector job growth
GDP growth in 2008: negative 6%
GDP growth last year 2.9%
Dow Jones Average in January 2008: Under 8000
Dow Jones Average today: All time record high
Record domestic oil production
GM – all time record profits
Near record corporate profits across the board
Osama Bin Laden --- dead
Iraq war --- over
As opposed to "my school records are sealed, smoked pot and snorted cocaine/never served a day in military service/community organizer, pos incompetent jerk" we currently have for a president???
Obama is a lot of things: inept, a liar, vindictive, contentious to any opposition, a socialist who loved Hugo Chavez and would like to get as rich as Hugo did during his reign of terror, a muslim pretending to be a Christian, did I mention liar?
But lazy, no he's not lazy, he's well on this way to turning American into a third world country like he said he wanted to do in his book(s). Joe Biden is clueless about Obama because he is 'dumb as an ashtray'!
Well, since Biden wiped the floor with Paul Ryan during their debate, what does that make Ryan?
Ailes is a pig, and only his intellectually lazy Faux News viewers are willing to buy his load of garbage.
Background checks will only discover perverts WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN CAUGHT AND CONVICTED. Most have not.
Not to mention FAUX NEWS folks are as dumb as they come...seriously!
...and speaking of Roger Ailes, He is the biggest dumbass and cocks*cking sumbitch there is in the television business and thats an understatement.
Seeing the guy for the first time, what comes to mind is a greasy fat sumbitch..
"No one had to write a book to tell us that Biden is No one had to write a book to tell us that Biden is as dumb as an ashtray."
Yep -- Republicans just love telling us how stupid they think Joe Biden is. But we know Joe Biden is good at one thing --- kicking the snot out of Republicans in elections. He's been doing that for over 40 years.
So tell us Republicans --- what's is say about you when someone "as dumb as an ashtray" has been kicking your asses for so long??
More Fox Fantasy. Fox News was designed to make Simpson's believable. Instead we have one bad cartoon and an unbelievable animated fantasy.
Fox news told us we would be welcomes as "liberators" in Iraq. Fox News told us Iraqi oil would pay for the cost of the war. Fox news told us in July 2008 the economy was in great shape. Fox news told us John McCain was going to win in 2002. Fox news told us Romney was going to win over 300 electoral votes. Those are just a few of the things Fox has been wrong about. Yet Roger Ailes says Joe Biden is "dumb as an ashtray'?
And do we remember how well Fox News did with calling this year's election outcome? They are so smart. Roger Ailes is the most lowlife, bottom dwelling slug on this planet (my appology to Karl Rove, who likes to compete for that prize)
Charlie,
UNEMPLOYMENT OVER 7.5% FOR 50 STRAIGHT MONTHS.
All those private sector gains are because people don't have jobs, and employees are working the job of 3 or more people. The DOW is being artificially inflated becuase of $20billion a month being pumped into it by the FED. Oil production is up because of private land owners. Govt fields are at an all time low. Osama was a joint effort by Bush and Obama. The intelligence gained under Bush led us to him. Waterboarding was how we were able to get the courrier's information.
Oye... As a person who is generally quite centrist, the first response is troublesome. The left is quick to point out the hypocrisies and areas where the right wears blinders, and rightfully so, but then spews stuff like this...
"Aisles is a pig. Just look at him.
He could be cast to play the lead in Orwell's Animal Farm.
"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."'
"Just look at him"? Really? Isn't one of the criticisms the left levels against the right is judgement based on things like social status, race, religion, etc, rather than judgement of people as individuals? And snap judgements - on what do you base what you've said about this guy? "Just look at him"? Again, isn't a big part of what you dislike the old order for the idea that you can just look at a person and know something about them, like their religion/political leanings/whatever? Isn't one of the big problems many of you have with the right is that a good portion of that group looked at Obama and said "Just look at him - he's just an XXXX!" and prejudged him - and now you're doing exactly that?
Unfortunately for many of you, the 29 who voted this up, it reveals that you are as untrue to some of your lofty ideals as those you criticize. It's OK to be any colour, race, creed, religion, whatever - unless you're fat, bald, white, rich, and associated with Fox News. Then you're evil, it's OK to belittle you, and we can prejudge you all the livelong day, since we don't like an organization you own and you fall into the bad area of prejudgements that we have. Many of you who voted this up *should* be ashamed, but you won't be, because you can just look at this guy and *know* he's the big bad evil capitalist right wing monster you are willing to paint the "other" group as. It's all too easy to become bigots against those who are different than you, and many of you who criticize others for being bigots have become just that against those that you criticize. Shame on you. Look in a mirror and admire both your arrogance and your hypocrisy at this point, as you literally have become the thing that you claim to despise with your casual and uninformed deconstruction of this guy based on how he looks.
Wah! They called our guy names! Let's all call them names in return! Do liberals EVER grow up?
If this is a big deal, turn a proportional amount of rage to Maher for using the "C" word to describe a woman on the right. Imagine a black conservative, female who doesn't want to fund abortion, Israeli, Christian, or white male that makes more $$ than you do and then imagine your own words you just came up with being in that book. Hypocritical much?
Besides, I find this remark insulting to ashtrays.
@ msnbcmfe
Funny the first thing out of your mouth was an insult. Good job.
Wow, if Republicans can't win against a "lazy" President and a "dumb" Vice-President, releasing Obama's Harvard transcripts is not going to give them any ammunition. Neither willl this snorefest of a book.
Maybe they should stick to accusing bicycle riders of polluting the environment ( http://now.msn.com/ed-orcutt-seattle-representative-defends-bike-tax-by-saying-bikes-are-bad-for-the-environment ) or crafting bills that redefine embryos as organs ( http://now.msn.com/mary-sue-mcclurkin-alabama-state-rep-claims-a-baby-is-the-largest-organ-in-a-body ), or avoiding military service, Us and Them ("I had other priorities in the sixties than military service." ~ Dick Cheney on his five draft deferments). Yes, that should work.
Nobody is "wahing" here but you, Allen. We are laughing.
Every American who is 'Smarter than a 5th Grader' already knew that FoxNews has no objectivity, and that Ailes (and Murdoch) set the Right-wing agenda of that cable network.
But the really odd thing about this disclosure in writing is that even this will not be enough to mute the continual arguments of FoxNews parrots on Newsvine who insist that the network is objective, unbiased, "fair & balanced". It is mind-boggling?
Ailes disclosure, in writing, of the rhetorical-force-majeure corporate bent of FoxNews is also reinforcement of the breadth of America's protection of the First Amendment. In many other countries FoxNews would already have been seized and dismantled, and Ailes (and Murdoch) would be rotting in prison; in China they would already have been shot.
Unfortunately, the way these people have chosen to exercise their Constitutionally protected freedom is to do so with no demonstrable understanding that with freedom comes responsibility, and that truth is relevant.
Sounds like a fair assessment to me, although I think it could be applied pretty much to the majority of politicians on either side.
Yes, look at him. He is a fat slob, just like Rush Limbaugh.
Hey Robert,
Do you consider MSNC and CNN to be unbiased? Are they fair?
Well the truth hurts. Must have hit a nerve with the Libs on this post though.
When you are loosing the argument because the facts don't support your position, you resort to name calling. You can see multiple examples of it on these boards daily. In fact, when you see a poster resorting to name calling, you can safely assume he is loosing the argument. Apparently, Ailes is a accomplished practioner of the art. One need not read his book to know this; merely watch what purports to be "News" on his network
I find it interesting that in the latest poll (this morning's results) Obama is down to a 43% approval rate. The same % of the American People who are on government assistance. Coincidence? Or could it be that the people who voted for him have regained their sense of reality and/or intelligence? I know the POTUS ran on a "Time for a change" campaign slogan, but he neglected to say the change would be from bad to worse.
sounds dead-on to me..................... although it's an insult to ashtrays
What else could you expect from an egg sucking fox executive?
In what world? Most every key performance indicator is up since Obama took office.
Don't forget Rupert Murdoch. He likes to run as well...
If Biden is dumb and he beat Ryan in the Vice Presidential debate, what does that make Ryan?
In my opinion, No. But I have never argued such. So what's your point?
Certainly you aren't trying to divert, derail or change the subject, correct?
Certainly you aren't defending the bias of Ailes and FoxNews by pointing to the bias of others, correct?
Wouldn't that be corollary to arguing that 'two wrongs make a right'?
Last question:
Why would you immediately presume, as illustrated by your comment, that a person who notes the lack of objectivity of FoxNews, would a priori defend the objectivity of MSN and CNN? Do you have an objectivity issue of your own, perhaps?
I really don't think it's fair to make such comments.
After all, Biden did in fact suffer a brain injury.
Making fun of intellectually challenged people is just plain wrong.
I'm honestly surprised he didn't call Obama "shiftless."
Since we know NOTHING about Obama's college years due to the active and willing participation of a compliant media, the LAST thing I would be mentioning about Obama are his college years.
.
All of you need to stop being stupid. If you are so loyal to one side or the other, you are missing half the big picture. If you think your side is somehow less to blame for the mess the United States is in - you are WRONG. It took many, many years of incompetence on both sides to put us where we are today.
and Roger, you are as fat as a pig.
Biden didn't wipe up Paul Ryan during the debates any more than Obama wiped up Romney. Both Obama and Biden were definite losers... Except to the portion of the American population so uniformed they are willing to accept the lies coming out of each of their mouth as truth.
Still waiting for Obama to be impeached over Benghazi.
It is refreshing for someone to "tell it like it is" concerning these 2.
Ailes is a fat pig but he knows how to sell his book
Ailes is nothing but a worthless slob. Obama had done plenty during his presidency despite the lazy Republicans blocking every move he tries to make.
George Bush took record vacations cutting brush in Crawford, Texas so if he wants to call someone lazy, it surely isn't Obama.
I can only agree with these analogies. Both Rigth and Left. I would have to say he hit the nail dead on.
Anyone still wonder how and why we are in the mess we are in?
Agree or not this pretty much sums it up.
Hey GOTP!!!
You guys are getting off topic!!
So many posts and not one accusation of the "Liberal Media" either reporting crap (anything negative about a GOTPer) or not reporting crap (anything positive about a GOTPer).
What a sad, tired, false argument.
FAUX News: Fair and Balanced.
All Other News Sources in the World: Not Fair, Not Balanced.
That would be like the Cleveland Browns claiming that they were the only team playing football, and all the other NFL teams were not really playing football, but instead conspiring to keep them out of the Super Bowl.
WHAT A JOKE YOU ALL ARE!
Do you ever wonder why you are becoming extinct?
Obama hasn't done sh_t except play golf, and a really good job of dividing Our country. I have to admit He is the most effective ever at that !
Ha! I remember how the goal posts used to be at 8%. Haters still hatin'
Didn't Biden clean the floor with one of the right's best and brightest during a debate not long ago?
BTW, yes, he did.
"The book says Ailes, 72, revels in his role as a free-wheeling tough guy but also has a fatalistic streak and think's he'll be dead within a decade."
From the looks of him, I'd say he's right. And if he happens to knock on my door right now, he won't even last another minute.
I think of Ailes and Trump the exact same way. They may revel in their roles as "tough guys", but deep down I think they are just trying to compensate for other serious shortcomings.
If it could only be one or the other, would you rather be perceived as tough, or smart? Both these guys would choose tough. That says everything I need to know about both of them, and they don't even get why. Sorta funny, actually.
Biden is a dic& and always was. He didn't beat anyone on the debates. Just sat there smiling and laughing like the idiot he is.
At least Obama admitted he is lazy. Now if he would just admit that he is useless.
@ Dawgfan. There was intelligence under Bush? Who was she?
To: United States 1776... If you feel that way then why do you bother to go on the site. There are folks that have other opinions than yours.
People are still talking about the President's grades? Look, grades are private by law. His own mother couldn't get them without his written permission.
No President has ever released their college grades or transcripts. NONE. The only reason we know about Bush Jr.'s is that they were leaked to the press.
Brad,
Considering that Obama said unemployment would be reduced to 5.7 or 5.9% if we passed the $900,000,000,000 stimulus plan, I think we can move the goal posts all we want until the rate is reduced to those levels.
Dumb as an ashtray? That still makes him way too smart for FOX NEWS.
I guess the existance of Bush and Cheney continues to be denied. Those two guys created the trouble the nation is in but their lovers keep sucking as they continue to be in denial. Keep it up Righties. That is how you will keep losing elections.
Which debates were you watching? No one "cleaned the floor" with anyone. Joe Biden looked like a cackling old fool.
It is called affirmative action, the year that Obama was admitted to Harvard 19% of the people admitted to harvard were african american, surely not all were more qualified then the vast amount of applicants that were turned away, more like white guilt was the reason.
The Harvard Review had two pools of candidates for the President of the Harvard Review, Obama was in the runner up pool but he was the highest ranking African American so they chose him, they had never before done this in the history of the Harvard Review.
Obama is a lot of things: inept, a liar, vindictive, contentious to any opposition, a socialist who loved Hugo Chavez and would like to get as rich as Hugo did during his reign of terror, a muslim pretending to be a Christian, did I mention liar?
Mark fr Lake Tahoe, you forgot he's also a narcissitic egomaniac, which may be redundant, but true!
SteveJNB...
You noticed that all the holier-than-thou (D) voters have quite the stockpile of bile and hatred inside them just waiting to fly like spit from a camel's mouth at any and every person who does not see things the way they do. Quite the crew, aren't they? A number of them on this thread today even praised the performance of Joe Biden at the VP debate !!! Amazing isn't it ??? Joe showed himself to be a classless, intemperate loudmouth during what was supposed to be a gentleman's debate on 'ideas'...and these folks were impressed by his comedic performance ! Go figure !
But anything and anyone leaning 'Republican' or 'conservative' is just no damn good to the holier-than-thou crowd. They are just not impressed by anything not 'Democrat'. Mr. Romney was painted to be a nitwit, even though only 17 students have ever accomplished what he accomplished in the 368 year history of Harvard University...while Mr. Obama is to be seen as a genius, even though nobody knows what college courses he took or what grades he received. Again, go figure !
I am struck however, by the demographics of the 2012 election. It appears that the lower the income, the lesser one's command of the English language, the younger the voter, and the lower the tax bill...the higher the chance that one voted for Mr. Biden & Mr. Obama.
These folks would even stretch reality to the point of rupturing by insisting that Mr. Obama has great leadership skills...despite the fact that there has been zero evidence to make the point that has been made clearer every week he spends on the job.
pppfffftt! coming from an fat, old, rich, white guy that hasn't actually ever WORKED a real job in his whole life that didn't involve swindling someone.
“Well, hell, if God’s a liberal, that’s his business...But I doubt very much that he is. He’s got a good heart.”

In Obama's situation, he has no background to examine. No Executive experience.
What else is there to examine?
Besides, Obama supporters are always quick to tell anyone who will listen just how Supremely Intelligent Obama is.
I would imagine that Obama couldn't wait to show everyone how clever his is.
Funny, that. I wonder where the 'leak' came from?
And, why hasn't anyone 'leaked' Obama's grades?
We do know that Obama is an admirer of Socialism.
And Bill 'bomber' Ayers.
.
Finally someone in the media that is not so politically correct that they can tell the truth. I think he was a little bit kind in his statements.
As far as those talking about Obama's time "teaching" constitutional law from what he has done recently he needs to take a few courses in constitutional law before he attempts to teach that course. He apparently forgot the part about three branches of government and the responsibilities each branch. He is also does not seem to be to sharp on any of the amendments. It is a good thing the 22nd Aamendment will get him out of office on January 20, 2017. Maybe if we ground Air Force One to save money he could read up on the Constitution.
At least obama and biden aren't fat pigs! Seriously consider the source here. Who really cares what this wad thinks? And by the same line of reasoning.... does this mean that ALL the people who have held govt jobs like teaching, police officers, fire fighters, DMV workers, IRS workers etc never worked a day in their lives!!!?? Are you kidding me?? STFU
@tony,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
So your man, god, I almost forgot his name.... um Willard something? Oh, yeah, Romney acted like a gentleman in the first debate? Heck, the only thing he didn't do was call President Obama "boy."
Yeah, his demeanor was gentleman-like. You guys keep calling our President nothing more than a community organizer, but I think that is a compliment in some ways. The People like him. They voted him in with quite a large margin.
"Community Organizer" as a President is a lot better moniker than "Rich White Guy Who Will Screw the Middle Class and the Poor."
"UNEMPLOYMENT OVER 7.5% FOR 50 STRAIGHT MONTHS."
Well Dawg --- 7.5 is still too high but 33 straight months of job growth sure beats the hell out of losing more than 750,000 jobs per month kike we were in January 2009.
You are right, they are not fat.
"Maybe if we ground Air Force One to save money he could read up on the Constitution."
Well Engineer --- maybe if you hadn't flunked 8th grade civics and listened to something other than Fox, you might have some idea of what your running your yap about.
seriously none of you supporters must have read the excerpt... This guy just said obama never worked a day in his life because his paychecks came from the taxpayers!! Aren't you all outraged at THIS comment.. forget the other ones but seriously this elitist is going to attack a fat chunk of those employed in our country that do wonderful things just because they receive taxpayers funds. Road workers, teachers, lawyers,cops, firefighters, DMV workers, social services, the list goes on and on. How can you possibly agree with this elitist fat ass when he makes comments condemning all of these people? I always knew humanity to be dense but serioulsy this is ridic! O well he works for FOX news and that really IS enough said.
Every ash tray I've ever met is smarter than Joe Biden, and thats a fact. If I were an ash tray I would be deeply offended.
Joe is not as dumb as an ashtray. Box of rocks maybe but not an ashtray. What did an ashtray ever did to you Mr. Ailes? We all know Joe is dumb. Now we know Obama is lazy. Thank God they were reelected!
Steven B "Obama supporters are always quick to tell anyone who will listen just how Supremely Intelligent Obama is."
But are not willing to provide any evidence. We do know that Obama had mediocre grades in high school because he didn't graduate with honors, and that he was not qualified to get into Harvard straight from high school, despite the huge advantage of Affirmative Action at that time.
Deep down, we are all lazy on some level.
Maybe you arent lazy when it comes to your job, but I guarantee you're lazy in other area's...like Chris Christie when it comes to his physical size and future health problems.
Or maybe like so many republicans busy making lots and lots of money, they are lazy when it comes to raising their families, seriously...when you're away on business all the time making money as your priority, kind of hard to be there for your kids and be in their lives. Oh i know, you are "taking care of them financially" - yep, I know.
I might be kinda lazy in my work, but im not at all lazy in my love life. I take very good care of my spouse, emotionally and in all other ways, and our 13 years together (at age 33, which is longer than some "family oriented conservatives" have been able to make their relationships last) shows that I put my focus where it truly matters.
I work hard enough, though...no...i'll never be a slave to any corporation, or to money.
In that regard, Jesus and GOD are proud of me. They know where our passions and hearts should be, and it's not in getting richer and richer and richer.
But this Fox News idiot, likely doesnt have a clue about any of that.

Again, you really should try parsing your comments through the filter of logic.
On January 20, 2009, the day that Mr. Obama took his oath of Office, the United States had already been in "Recession" for 15 months; five fiscal quarters. The deepest recession in 80 years, since 1929.
And the economy was bleeding job losses at the rate of more than 700,000 per month; approx. 5 million jobs already shed to the recession before Mr. Bush had even packed-up the White House moving van.
The course of the American and world economy is corrected similarly to changing the course of an Aircraft Carrier. The new course is set, and very, very slowly the vessel changes direction fighting against its own momentum.
Continuing with this same analogy: Partisans, in complete absence of objectivity, not only insist that an Aircraft Carrier can actually maneuver just like a high-performance speedboat with the right captain at the helm, but that the course was properly set to begin with, until the new skipper took the wheel.
Sort of like saying "There was nothing wrong when the previous captain steered the ship onto the reef and ran it aground. The problem began when the new captain took actions to pull it off the rocks and get it sailing again, and in so doing took on some additional water."
The thing which really befuddles me is the number of Partisans who seem to also be arguing "Let's get this ship righted and head back toward that reef. We liked it there, and the ship seemed a lot more steady with it's bow wedged on the rocks."
Roy - I don't know about SUPREMELY INTELLIGENT, but he's pretty darn smart.
Of course, this is in comparison to the last president.
Bush didnt exactly set the bar very high.
Robert - oh don't you know, everything bad that happened under Bush's leadership, was all the democrats fault...and probably Obama's too.
Poor Mr. Bush couldnt do a darn thing, other than flaunt that failure as his own (remember his country tour touting HIS Home Ownership program? yeah...I do)
Poor Mr. Bush couldnt do anything about cutting taxes - and not cutting spending to match it. Or then when he waged two wars, didnt cut any spending to account for the new spending - since we know republicans would NEVER raise taxes. OMG. We had to wait for a democratic president to take office before we could complain about spending and a lack of revenues!
and that recession, it was because Bawney Frank held a gun to banks heads and forced them to make bad loans :-( even though, the only way the banks could have made those bad loans was because banks were flushed with investor cash and were looking for a place to put it - A La, HOUSING.
Remember that tour Bush took touting HIS plan...full circle.
But, yeah, republicans bear ZERO responsibility...
and that whole 3rd world nation reality...that started back in the 80's when reagan destroyed a whole bunch of regulations that prevented the housing bubble, and dot com bubble, that has sunk our economy.
next bubble burst - credit debt.
im sure that will be all democrats faults too.
Has anyone cared to see how Fox News programs are rating? Well the top twelve programs/shows belong to Fox. They have the runs on the board. As for Roger Ailes, his ability is not in question; he has led the Fox News Channel for the last 16 years.
Whether President Obama is lazy or not, I would not know. One thing I do know is that he is going to leave the country with a debt that will weigh down the country for many, many years. I also know that the very people President purportedly represents are the people who’ll suffer the most because of it, the debt. Far from leveling the playing field, the President is creating a chasm through our society that will take generations to bridge.
VP Biden, shotgun Joe, the years in politics have left their mark on him for everyone to see. R. Ailes’ description of the VP, "dumb as an ashtray" is how I’ve thought about him over the years, actually every time he stands behind the lectern.
Roger Ailes is a fascist pig, he is a shining example of the kind of people that drove this country into the financial ditch................... May he burn in hell VERY VERY SOON.
After reading many of the posts on this story I see that story is also been accompanied by an army of paid right wing trolls; may these soulless P$#@&s burn in hell too.
Wow, the chief of Weasel News making pernicious remarks about people; who'd a thunk it???
Charlie-1915998 " 7.5 is still too high but 33 straight months of job growth sure beats the hell out of losing more than 750,000 jobs per month kike we were in January 2009."
Actually, according to the official Bureau of Labor Statistics, it's only 28 straight months of job growth, and the average Unemployment Rate under Obama (9.0%) has been the highest (by far) of any President since FDR during the Great Depression.
By contrast, Bush had 46 months of job growth after the turnaround from 9/11 where we had 7,867,000 jobs added, and the average Unemployment Rate for Bush was only 5.33% - barely above the 5.2% for Clinton, who had the advantage of a recovering economy when he was elected, as well as the jobs added during the 'Dot.com bubble'.
For those who like to point out that President Obama has admitted to using cocaine and smoking pot in the past as if that makes him just a common drug addict - have you forgotten about 'ol Georgie's drug usage - I think Obama's pales in comparison - and he didn't try to hide it.
Jessica-1170252 "Roy - I don't know about SUPREMELY INTELLIGENT, but he's pretty darn smart. Of course, this is in comparison to the last president. Bush didnt exactly set the bar very high."
Actually, Bush's IQ, at 125 (based in SAT scores), was higher than John F. Kennedy and John Kerry. A score of 132 could have gotten him into MENSA, the high IQ society. Bush is also the only President with an MBA Degree. We don't have any information on Obama's college admission scores, but they must be pretty bad for him to keep hiding them. However, like many others, he did well in college once he got serious about his studies.
O roy don't you have some construction job to be doing right now? After all its always those types that whine and mop and complain because you worked hard in some dead end job and didn't get paid enough so it's everyone elses fault but fail to realize that the rich think common people are like cockroaches for thier bidding so their income should reflect such? Cant be the corporations fault though can't it. Jesus was a socialist silly man:
Now to one of the best proofs and that is found in Matthew 25:31-46: The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats. For those that don’t know this one the key statement is as follows:
Big Jeff...
Glad you got a big guffaw out of what I wrote. And by the way, I have never described Barack Obama as a "community organizer"...not once in my lifetime. I have always described him as totally devoid of any leadership abilities, which has been very apparent over the past couple of months. I have also described him as extrmely petulant and disdainful of others..which is why he has zero positive relationships with anyone in the Senate or House in Washington DC. And doesn't it work so well.
I will give the man and his team credit for being able to get folks into the voting booth...yessirree Bob, the man and his team can do that. Can't read or write?...doesn't matter, just get in the booth and pull the lever we tell you to pull. Non hablas the language?....doesn't matter, pull this lever. High school dreamer, daddy pays all the bills?...just get in the booth and vote for the skinny cool guy. And the most important answer to a doubtful voter "don't worry, you won't be asked to spell anyone's name".
No problem that Romney didn't impress you, Jeff. So I'm sure it's not a problem that some don't feel a large number of folks who vote like you do aren't very impressive either.
Steve NJB interesting point in your post BUT my tolerance only goes so far as a liberal. Once you start namecalling whether you are black, fat, gay whatever it doesn't matter you are a willing target for whatever insults may come back at you. This is simple really. When someone throws a blow you better believe i will throw one back.
Ailes is right about Biden. He's even dumber than an ashtray. Remember when he said this?
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
"I'm the decider, and I decide what is best.
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.
"There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on --shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
"You work three jobs? ... Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." --to a divorced mother of three.
"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office."
"For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it."
"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."
Remember, he wasn't even Vice-President back then. He was only the President. Stupid Biden.

What a Fox News exec thinks about Owebama and Buyden is news on NBC?
Where's this NEWS story, NBC?
Odumbo actually EMAILED AN INTERNAL MEMO with instructions to make the sequester as painful as possible on the American people! All in the interests of a political agenda.
"We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 States in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So, it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be.”
http://inagist.com/all/309030083602022400/?utm_source=inagist&utm_medium=rss
Of course we wouldn't hear about THAT on NBC, would we... Just imagine the reaction had Bush done something that stupid and evil. Think NBC would have reported it???
He must be a racist if he calls someone a "lazy" black man. But I guess this is typical for him. He looks and sounds just like people I've seen who wear white robes with pointed hoods.
"large is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. Strait is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and few find it. "(Matthew 7,13.14)
This is what i say to those that say the republican's are dying off... its because the ones that move towards the left.. are just going with the crowd down the path to destruction.. HAVE A NICE DAY :)
Rupert Murdock speakes ...Ailes asks how high and then he jumps ...kinda simple!! The man is a highly paid puppet!
Roger Ailes is a paid hack. Rupert Murdoch pulls his strings. For an overstuffed bag of hot air like Roger Ailes to call any one dumb or lazy is like a colostomy bag calling a gift bag a trash holder. He is a blathering liar, and a festering carbuncle on the backside of yellow journalism. I would not cross the street to get his book if it were free and I was being paid to walk.
Love the way teanuts just make sh!t up and pull things out of the air. For example, ROY WILSON-336103 says that ". . . Bush's IQ is 125 (based in [sic] SAT scores)."
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
So using this mans foolish logic, if you are a cop, fireman, EMS worker, soldier, or any other employee of government, YOU ARE A FREE LOADER. Does that make sense to you? makes no sense to me.
If this guy is such a winner and an expert, how come he didn't become president? He lived his life providing lies to the world and America. Wow, ill bet god is impressed with him. Does he really consider what he does "work"???? And lastly, who even knew who this guy was before they read this article? He's a nobody. and he looks like jaba the hut. Who the heck is even going to buy his book? And why is "liberal" Msn, helping him sell books? why would liberal msn help a neo-con? so confusing lol.
Chris:
Obama never wqas a professor, he was just a lecturer. Sure he went to law school and passed the bar just like Moochie, but then just like Moochie, he was asked to turn in his law license by the state of Ill. bar assoc.
How DARE he insult the lazy and ashtrays in this way!!
Ailes is spot on. I can't think of a worse president than the idiot we currently have been stuck with.
Ailes is way off. Obama is light years better than Bush ever was.
Mr. Ailes, as my grandmother would say, "an opinion is like an a$$ hole, everyone has one".
Apparently you don't remember the last one we had then.
Have a nice 3+ years. Just wait until you get 8 years of Hilliary.
Think W.
You should have just stopped at "I can't think"
Roger was being disrespectful to ashtrays. Biden is a joke.
I can..the guy who was in office before him!
Charlie,
Fox News still has nine out of the top 10 programs. It has spent 11 consecutive years as the top-rated news channel. Its 6 a.m. show drew almost double the ratings of CNN's top-ranking primetime show.
Yup, it's a terrible network isn't it? You should go read their articles and then read the altered versions of stories MSNBC and CNN put out. Remember when NBC altered the 911 call by George Zimmerman to try and paint him as a racist? NBC is being sued for defamation and will likely lose.
Eric, your grandmother left out the second part: Opinions are like a certain part of anatomy. Everybody has one and they all stink.
I am thrilled over 4 more years. Finally the majority is waking up to the fact there is no Change We Can Believe in and certainly no Forward. Not even a biased media can cover up such colossal failure.
Bringing up Bush every time someone points out inadequacies in the current President is counterproductive. Most conservatives quote people like you on blogs showing that the supporters of the left can't think of anything positive to pin directly to an action of Obama and have to resort to changing the subject or circular arguments.
If he's so great, just say what he did that's so great. To resort to demeaning others to bring your own guy up is childish. Bush isn't president any more. Democrats have been the majority in power for over 6 years now. Deficits are up, debt is through the ceiling, tax rates are higher than anywhere else in the world, health insurance rates up over 20%, unemployment is stagnant, over 50% of the country relies on gov't handouts, 2 wars still going, Gitmo still open, US citizens being killed without trial, military drones over our own soil, no budget in 4 years, sequester being used to villify Republicans by targeting cuts that would hurt us rather than find 2% in common sense cuts that Obama campaigned to do "line by line", bailing out the 2%ers with taxpayer $, redrawing racial, gender, and other lines back to where we were in the 60s, making it politically correct to verbally assault any ethnic/gender/religious group if they don't vote like you do, etc, etc. Just how long do Democrats need to fix "Bush's mess" that started when Pelosi & Reid started authoring all of the bills that came across his desk?
I love it! I think this is the funniest thing I have read all day! He isn't wrong!
BTW, everyone who complains about those of us who watch Fox News should take a long hard look in the mirror. I watch Fox, I read MSNBC (as painful as it is), and I watch CNN. I want a well rounded look at the world so I can make my own decisions. Those of you who just complain about Fox but have never watched anything on it absolutely should not talk about being one sided.
Obama is the same as GWB.
Gitmo open
War in Iraq? Pfft, we STILL have troops there, oh you don't know that huh? http://news.antiwar.com/2012/10/01/us-may-keep-units-american-troops-in-iraq-despite-lack-of-authority/
War in afganistan.. How long
Patriot act. Still there
NDAA made the patriot act even worse.
Bailed out the banks just like GWB wanted and did
Bailed out GM just like GWB wanted
Continued GWB failed economic policies over and over an over again.
Fixed nothing. The reality though is GWB and Obama aren't really to blame except they didn't veto enough.. Congress is to blame and has been for over 200 years.
Dawgfan-4710266 (#2.9):
No doubt about it--that pool/whatever it was must have been taken by Fox News. Where is the HONEST source of the stupid, ignorant statement you made??????? Bet there is none. You've been brain washed by the Fox.....
When President George W. Bush played golf, and rode his bicycle, FoxNews called him "athletic." When our current President Barack Obama plays golf and basketball, FoxNews calls him "lazy." Two men, engaging in the same, or similar pursuits to keep their bodies and minds fit, and healthy. But entirely opposite characterizations of those activities by Roger Ailes and the cable network he runs.
What difference does Roger Ailes sees when he looks at these two men. Whatever could it be?
"Lazy" you say, Mr. Ailes?
"Racist" I say, Mr. Ailes. Own it!
Fox New Chief defines that BUTT Wipe much higher than I do. I think biden is why you wipe your butt.
And Booby in Oregon, our current idiot in chief plays more golf than the last 20 presidents put together. What don't you understand about doing the job he's paid to do. Even if chavez was 1000 times better at it than ovomit!
"I think there’s a laziness in me," adding, "It’s probably from, you know, growing up in Hawaii, and it’s sunny outside and sitting on the beach." - B.Obama
But he left out "toking on some pakalolo with my Choom Gang"
Jean,
What I posted came from Huffington Post. Isn't that the liberal god of news? Unlike many liberals, I read news from every possible news source. That way I can get all the facts and form an opinion for myself. I don't just repeat talking points from either side. I get informed, do my own research, and make an opinion based on that.
Talk about nailing it.
Robert,
There is a difference between Bush and Obama. Bush played just 24 rounds of golf in his EIGHT years in office. Obama has play 115 in FOUR years.
When Bush rode his bike it wasn't for five hours at a time. He should be busy bringing the country together, and not playing golf with adulterers.
Oh, I failed to mention for Republicans to be quiet about how many rounds of golf President Obama has played. Eisenhower played close to 900 rounds of golf in his two terms, but he also got a ton accomplished.
Launced the Interstate Highway System
DARPA
NASA
National Defense Education Act
Signed Civil Rights Legislation in 1957 and 1960 to protect the right to vote
Implemented desegregation of the armed forces
Made Five appointments to the Supreme Court.
@Jean:
Jean, your twat stinks, you should jump in a pool.
Yes Eric, and yours stinks even through the computer screen. PEUUUUUGH
Bush spent a cumulative year and a half on vacation at his ranch in 8 years. We heard about it all the time. He showered the media with photo ops of him clearing brush and whatever else you do when your hired help already did the dirty work.
I can remember on multiple occasions that bills went to his desk for signature, only to wait a week or more for him to fly back from his ranch to sign them. This, during a time of war.
How many times has that happened with the current President?
Bush holds the record for presidential vaca time a$$wipe. I wish he had spent his entire time in office cutting shrubs instead of giving our country the biggest royal fcuk over in history. He spent more time in Texas wearing that dopy cowboy than Obama has spent on the golf course for sure. Not even a contest.

Five vacancies occurred in his eight years. Five appointments were made. Two vacancies have occurred during President Obama's four years, two appointments were made. You aren't arguing that Mr. Obama should start bumping-off Justices of the Supreme Court in order to 'up his appointments numbers', are you?
Your arguments are bewildering. You do understand how the legislative process works, right?
Congress writes, passes and funds legislation .... which is then presented to the President for his signature.
The piece of this which is missing in your assessment of Mr. Obama's 'achievements' in his four years versus Mr. Eisenhower's 'achievements' in eight years, is that Mr. Eisenhower actually received bipartisan written, passed and funded legislation from Congress.
If Mr. Obama had been presented legislation creating the Interstate Highway system, he would have signed it, too. Mr. Obama hasn't even been able to get the Republicans in Congress to agree to infrastructure funding to repair the highways and bridges which were built by that Interstate Highway System bill.
Why not try simple logic, and parsing your own arguments with the filter of logic, rather than posting embarrassingly hollow arguments on Newsvine which only really demonstrate your inability to think objectively?
Eric-913730 "Mr. Ailes, as my grandmother would say, "an opinion is like an a$$ hole, everyone has one"."
Which is why HIS opinion carries more weight than yours.
Robert,
That's just it. Eisenhower was able to get both sides to work together. He didn't resort to name calling and blame games. They worked together to get things accomplished. Obama's and the Democratically controlled Senate have proposed things that are way too far left, and the Republican controlled House has proposed things too far right. Instead of working together to get things accomplished Obama resorts to blame and intimidation.
"Fox News still has nine out of the top 10 programs"
But their numbers are going DOWN -- not up.
Fox Nails it on the head, and the Obaaama Slaves cant understand it.. too baaaad for them
I suspect this may come as a surprise to you, but it is not the job of this President of the United States, or any President, to babysit uncivil and petulant, hyper-partisan adults who refuse to behave like grownups or to do the jobs they were elected (hired) to do, ...in attempt "to get both sides to work together."
Adults are responsible for their own behaviors. Your argument that the President of the United States is responsible for correcting the churlish behavior of other adults who refuse to behave and find compromise, is illogical and superficial.
If, as appears to be the case, you are arguing that Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell and Mr. Cantor are just reasonable, civil, non-partisan adults who are ready, willing and eager to reach out and find consensus and compromise with the Democrats in Congress, and the President of the United States, ... then you have an objectivity, issue. Logic does not seem to be a concept embraced or employed in your thought processes and comments.
Here's a clue: You cannot present a balanced, objective and nonpartisan argument by employing only the rhetoric of unbalanced, subjective partisanship.

when are you libtards going to stop all this "blame game" crap??
obama is a crappy leader and is incapable of getting the job done and is as full of excuses as you libtards are, but you libtards will never see or admit that!
you always want to blame someone or some group somewhere .. your choice for president was a terrible one
Bryan, stop cryin. the job is being done. or didn't the liberal media tell you the dow has doubled, and that the trade deficit is down 20%. or the the UI figures are lower then Bush had them? housing is beginning to move. the banks have almost all paid the bail out money back. we ARE moving forward. and would be even further ahead if republicans didn't work so hard to slow it down.
On another note. didn't princes laya kill this guy in episode 3? wtf lol
your first nightmare came true when a black man became president, your second nightmare is coming true also. Not only is the president black, but he's doing a good job. lol must suck to be you. lmao@u
"I have a soft spot for Joe Biden," he added. "I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray."
An insult to all hard working ashtrays out there!! But that is funny because it's true! As for Mr. Obama being lazy, I thought that was a given...
You beat me to the defense of ashtrays!
Perhaps Mr. Ailes should have put more effort into making sure that FOX is "fair and balanced".
"I agree NPC! I've been carrying Camel's my whole life! Time for us ashtrays to unite! I'm no longer a butt for someone's poor jokes! It's time to snuff out this whole line of bullcrap."
Perhaps Mr. Ailes should have put more effort into making sure that FOX is "fair and balanced".
It's light years ahead of NBC & MSNBC. What's their jingle? Unfair & Unballanced?
If FOX news is "light years ahead" in being fair and balanced.
Then the moon really is made out of cheese.
You know a network is grossly slanted if they have to tell you in their title that they are not! (Pre-denial?)
Fair and Balanced.......who are they possibly trying to convince of that?
And it will probably pretty warm in Mr. Ailes "heaven"
Get serious NPC
The ones who are lazy is the do-nothing congress not Obama. Who else works so few days a year and gets full benefits and such outrageous pay for doing so little?? Who else gets a 2 or 3 day work week and needs a vacation every other week?? CONGESS ..so dont be calling Obama lazy when he has to sit around waiting on congress constantly! Who only scheduled a 120 day calendar this year?? Cantor!! Dont call Obama lazy..point the finger where it really belongs..at congress!!! You cant BS everyone...we arent all abunch of dumb hicks!
This is just a back handed racial slurr by Ailes without coming right out and calling Obama a Lazy N***er ! Funny How these guys always claim not be racist but every inuendo is quite the opposite! by words and actions!
Fox is biased, yes. However, they have no problem pointing the finger at Republican officials when they become "bad apples". MSNBC just refuses to cover ANYTHING that may bring a Democrat into a bad light. If you only watch/read liberal media, you're voluntarily letting yourself be indoctrinated to whatever "the man" wants you to believe. At least people who watch Fox News read both sides of the media spectrum and are smart enough to not make "haha you only watch Fox News" claims to people responding to an NBC article they just finished reading. Talk about ashtrays.... That's like screaming at someone eating a burger for being a vegetarian (OMG I see lettuce and tomato!!).
Actually they have studied it and fox news watcher are worse informed than people who do not watch any news.
Elaine, wake up and smell the farts! Ovomit is the laziest basta## that ever walked into the White House!
Actually, calling Biden as dumb as an ashtray, is a disservice to all ashtrays. I love this quote, as it's spot on:
“Obama’s the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn’t public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf?"
Shhh "Jack", you don't want "Elaine" reading something as trivial as facts. She might get a little butthurt if you denigrate someone because of the content of their character (or lack thereof) rather than the color of their skin. Nice try at playing the race card "Skillaine"!
Obama worked as a lawyer in private practice as well as a teacher at a private university. Try reading about Obama.
Knew someone would play the race card - nice work, elaine! You get a cookie!
Because when you have no other defense, whip out that race card! Except the only person on here looking racist right now, elaine - is you. smh
Chicago, I did read about Your Boy, and it made Me sick, therefore I don't read about Him anymore, and I see plenty of His Ignorant face on the TV ! I wish You would recall Him to the great City of Chicago, He seems to be well liked up there !
Listen, this guy works for Rupert Murdock. Enough said , just another Murdock puppet who would not know the truth if it hit him in the head, same as all their hosts.
??? Really??? Race card, huh? Are you stupid or something?
oh oh oh...
Quite a bit of thought and reasearch in the fact-filled sentence you wrote...thanks for enlightening us all !
Fair and Balanced? Marketing statements exsist to deceive. New and improved is usually the same crap in a different bottle. Any product with an in your face tagline is instantly suspect. It's an attempt to manage perception of a product. I have spoke with many Fox viewers who parrot that line. Fox viewers have been found to be the most uninformed media consumers in America. They had people convinced Romney would win right up to the moment, and after Obama was announced. They are not a truthful organization. It's speaks volumes about Ailes that he created a product aimed at the most ignorant, angry, gullible group of people to manipulate them to serve his political and financial interest. He's brilliant. Evil, but brilliant.
"Ignorant, angry, gullible..." I thought you were commenting on the 2012 Democrat National Convention.
Try not to hold the majority of your fellow voters at too lofty of an intellectual level. Our nations cities are teeming with high school dropouts, single unemployed mothers, and the homeless... and our nation's urban educational systems have their hands constantly held out for more cash to try to educate their students, who are dropping out of school by the tens of thousands. The Obama-Biden ticket absolutely dominated the polls in the nation's cities from coast to coast.
And you're saying that's where all the 'informed' voters live ??? As opposed to those horribly "uninformed" Fox viewers ???
In my state (CT) in 2010, a Democrat won the election for governor by about 6,000 votes out of 1.13 million votes cast. In the six poorest cities in this state he won by over 70,000 votes, thus handing him the election. Are those six "poorest" cities where all the 'informed' voters live...as opposed to all those "uninformed...ignorant...and gullible" voters who live in the state's suburbs...and pay all the state's bills ???
You folks need to start taking your act on the comedy club circuit, where satire, farce, and fantasy can actually earn you a dollar.
Eric, you want fair and balanced?
Where is NBC's reporting on the email from Odumbo with instructions to make the sequester as painful as possible on the American people! All in the interests of a political agenda.
"We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 States in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So, it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be.”

Of course we wouldn't hear about THAT on NBC, would we... Just imagine the reaction had Bush done something that stupid and evil. Think NBC would have reported it???
So the dumb guy is vice president. and the smart guy is working for fox? LOL now that's funny. Hey Roger, even Bush was smarter then you.
REalist, nbc is smart enough to know that there is no email saying that. lol
@tony-268769
OK, I'll respond to your dog whistle racism. Your insinuating that poor uneducated black people concentrated in the cities are the only reason Obama won. College educated people are concentrated in cities as well. People that want a more equitable society voted for Obama. People from all walks want our society to work for everybody. The Rethugs have only old white people. It's funny all you Rushbots have been picking up his low information voter talking point. It's such a laugh for Rush and Fox viewers to call anyone low information.
I don't think Ailes is going to get much of a view of heaven from his vantage point in hell.
Wow! So God has a new name...Jon-1321288, AKA Liberal @$$|-|0Le.
In Jon's favor, he's not a cracker like the StupidJoker.
In Aisles' book he also refers to Gingrich as a "prick."
As they say, even a broken watch is correct twice a day.
Calling a black man " lazy" has racial overtones which is not acceptable in this day and age, especially when you are talking about the POTUS. It explains volumes about Fox News, not that the rest of us didnt already know. Calling Biden "dumb" is a reflection on the stupidity of the idiot who is flapping his lips. So all in all, more of the same coming from the people behind Fox News. Tune in tomorrow when they say that the FLOTUS has a big behind.
Aislle said that Jesus was most likely not a liberal and referred that liberals aren't caring !! Yep thats so true the Republicans are the caring party they want to cut funding for the elderly, handicap and needy and give the welfare to the oil companies, big corporations and the wealthy instead. Yep thats what Jesus would do isn't it ?
They'd be correct about the "big behind" part.
And stuff your 'racial overtones'. "Lazy" is "not acceptable in this day and age". And it explains nothing about "Fox News" or anyone else who uses the word "lazy".
By the way, writing "POTUS" and "FLOTUS" is pretty lazy too.
Fox News Chief is DEFINED as Dumb As An Ashtray.
Fox News ANYTHING is Dumb As An Ashtray
.
And you, of course, are a certified genius as evidenced by your thoughtful post.
Lets hope he dies before that 10 year mark.
Ten years - Hell!! How about ten minutes.
Ten Minutes for both Ailes and Murdoch are Ten minutes too long for the well-being of our Beloved Nation!!
These two hate-mongers / fear-mongers have done more to destroy the unity of our Beloved Nation than any other identifiable force. Their sole focus is the almighty dollar and they could care less about how their distortions of the truth, half-truths and outright lies injure the health and well-being of the United States of America - all they care about is how Ailes and Murdoch can multiply their ill-gotten gains..
Obama as well, except make it 10 months !
love people who call them like they see it and take no prisoners.I may or may not agree with Ailes but his book is going to be fun to read.I agree with his opinion on Gingrich,Rubio and Biden.
if people , insulting other people in a book or in real life, brings you joy, then maybe it's time to get professional help.
YEAH . . and the Republicans would win a genius award? The group of morons and and fools trotted out by Republicans for the election would be unable to form a parade. The most intensive propaganda machine ever operated by a public TV stations ---- FOX NEWS ---- failed to sell these pathetic losers.
Republicans bring on the greatest recession in a century with disastrous policies, and they are brilliant?
Republican/Tea Bigots champion more wealth transfer to the uber wealthy, and you got your clocks cleaned by sane Americans.
Republican/Tea Bigots seek more opportunities for wars they won't pay for . . . refuse to support health care and jobs for homecoming soldiers . . . and allowed hospitals for war heroes to fall into disrepair.
Republican/Tea Bigots refuse to sponsor more jobs repairing America's collapsing infrastructure, adding teachers, police, firemen but that's simply great in your feeble mind.
Republican/Tea Bigots think health care is only for the rich, although their own Heritage Foundation designed large portions of it. Hypocrite much?
Republicans run from the gun lobby rather than seek sane gun regulations and background checks? Morons much?
Bill-Austin
Feel better now? You slobering.
Try cracking open the shutters on your bunker and see what's happening to your conservative friends. They're imploding from their stupidity. Now go back in and hug your guns.
You slobering? This cretin is trying to insult someone else?
I'm laughing at you!
Thank you I will.
Deerhunterbow-sounds like another Ted Nugent douchbag, that didn't make it past 3rd grade!
Lets be honest ..the crew at FOX are nothing but a pack of media "hoes" who have sold their souls for "facetime". They no what they read and broadcast is pure BS and propaganda but they dont care if it really is fair and balanced (what a joke) as long as they get paid. I would love to be a fly on the wall around that water cooler when they get their scripts in the morning. The laughter must be overwhelming. But as long as they keep getting paid they dont really care what they are handed to read to us.
I, for one firmly, beleive our media should not belong to any private company or individual..it should be owned by the country so it is free to do honest reporting without fear of retaliation by the station owners. I have to read the UK newspapers to get honest reporting about our country..alot of which we never even report. Pitiful!
It wasn't that long ago when Peter Jennings, you know, one of the lead anchors of the vaunted ABC News, basically admitted to "being in bed" with Mr. Obama. Seems to me that the media "hoes" are as follows: NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Huffpost. These "progressive" idiots would kill thier first born to spit shine Mr. Obama's shoes. But I realize that I should just be arguing with a brick wall though...
"hoes"?? That is racist. Everyone knows what you mean when you say "hoe". You are trying to imply "ebonic" pronunciation, racist.
State run media may not be the best idea. If we were to bring back the fairness doctrine half of news outlets would have to change their programing, or go out of business. The death of this rule turned our news media into opinion outlets.
The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was, in the Commission's view, honest, equitable and balanced. The FCC decided to eliminate the Doctrine in 1987, and in August 2011 the FCC formally removed the language that implemented the Doctrine.
Jennings died in 2005 you idiot.
It seems like the intent here is to keep attention focused on the stupdity of anything "Fox News", "Republicans", and "Tea Party". This way, nobody focuses on the high educational level of the average Democrat voter or the fact that the lower an individual's income level, the greater the chance that one votes for a Democrat candidate.
My bad "democant", I certainly didn't mean to denigrate Mr. Jennings in any way, just got the wrong anchor. Mr. Jennings had a journalistic integrity that's rapidly going the way of the dinosaur. However, my point was that the liberal media are still obamagastic about this clown.
truth hurts
You wish. Try winning some elections, has-beens!
Take a look in the mirror!!!!!!!
There was a time when our news chiefs at least pretended to be objective.
And that goes for both sides of the political spectrum.
Absolutely. The fact that the so many news organizations are freely aligned with either the right or left is a significant part of the reason the country has become so polarized.
Bring back TFD.

Well, Roger....the fact that you think Fox "News" has anything to do with real journalism is a sign of your own laziness and colossal stupidity and dishonesty. I think, in the realm of poor character and lack of integrity, you stand above most of the people you bellyache about. Do us all a favor: go home and shut the hell up.
I never heard of this guy and rarely hear/read Fox news but I LIKE him.
It's interesting how many on this thread don't believe an opinion is valid if it comes from an overweight person.
I don't believe Obama's greatest fault is lazyness, I believe it is arrogance.
Ailes weight has nothing to do with it, it's his IQ that makes people not taking him seriously.
He's "overweight" because he is a selfish jerk who stuffs himself with "tasty" food and booze, and would never think of sharing his food with a hungry homeless person...
Ok...let's not get carried away here. Let's look at it on merit, have you listened to anything that Joe Biden has had to say? I cringe every time Joe is going to speak. Makes Sara Palin look like genius.
Thin may be in...but Fat is where it's AT!
jerryb,
That's very charitable of you to donate your food to homeless people rather than enjoying it yourself.
In another few yours I plan to enjoy my tasty lunch that I brought to work without sharing it with anyone.
The deal is, I already share my money with too many deadbeats through taxes.
I think it is a close tie over the Obama's dominating trait: Arrogance or laziness. One alone would do him in, but with both as key character traits, he can give up his Lincoln like legacy. The only claim to fame is being the first mulatto in office. Big deal, a Kenyan drunk got to third base with white trash. Collateral effects: Barry.
Well said "Laura", and add the blatent narcissism with it, and you have the recipe for an idiot.
Thank you, self-reliant. It is mindsets just like yours that will ensure the modern day party of Lincoln (LMAO) will continue to lose national elections in the years to come. Please, keep those hits coming.
it's funny how people support bs just because they really really wish it were true! Doesn't make it so, I'm afraid.
I didn't know anyone actually watched Tox news, and I thought Rush had passed away from the drugs.
ALL PARTY DRONES ar soooo boring!
Biden knows more about public policy, politics and the workings of Washington better than most anyone there and for our President, he has done more good for this Country, has done more to change this Country for the better and has worked harder than any President in history. If you think he vacations too much, then you should look at the records of the other Presidents. They all had their private estates, ranches, etc. that they would spend most of their tenure at. But even so, do you really think a President is EVER off duty? Do you really think any President is EVER off duty? They are not.
has done more to change this Country for the better and has worked harder than any President in history.
You just made me spit coffee all over my monitor. Please tell me your being sarcastic? Nobody can say say that with a straight face. You have to be kidding us. It's funny, I give you that.
Well, yeah, the truth hurts knownothings like Dimhunter. Too bad.
The fact that ANYONE would actually defend Biden tells me a number of things. Everytime this clown opens his mouth, especially on the global stage, I cringe. I just hope he doesn't "put us all in chains"...
Typical of the "brains" behind Fox News to resort to name calling and truly mindless, petty, unhelpful character assassination. By saying these things he is criticizing we the people. He is saying we elected a lazy president (racist code!) and a vp who is as dumb as an ash tray (meaningless gibberish). We did neither - we elected better men than the right has ever put forward as candidates. Mr Ailes, get over your monumental, landslide loss and start helping your precious Republican party change in ways that might allow it to one day (far from now) to be electable once again. Cheap shots at those far greater than yourself will never achieve your goals - that is if you have any goals other than making money for you and your rancid "news" show.
And speaking of name calling...how about the ravenous fanatics on the liberal side that call Republicans names? I often see liberal postings that use obscene names to discribe people whose opinion they oppose. That's just childish in most cases and does nothing to aid in compromise. I personally think Biden would be better at stand-up comedy, based on some of the outrageous comments he's made that encourage thinks like shooting a shotgun while standing on a balcony to scare off intruders. and before you start the flaming...I voted independent party because I felt that neither the Democrats or Republicans were up to the task of bringing this country back to the center and being able to compromise.
I'm not going to sweat the intelligence estimate of the guy who cast the nerve to call his Fox propoganda channel news. Broad and consistent study has always pegged Fox viewers as the most ignorant about news events.
"cast the nerve"? My typing sucketh!
Dave was referring to the person in this article. Defending a 'wrong' because 'others do it too' is very silly. Would you let your child do something wrong because he/she says 'everyone else is doing it'? Stay on topic, please.
Lots of happy liberals today. Must be food stamp day.
Wow, the head lobbying group for the GOP doesn't like a democrat? No big surprise here.
'Fair and Balanced' eh? Yeah that's Faux News unbiased reporting at its finest, lol. And let me guess, he thinks George DUHbya was right up there with Stephen Hawking...
at least they put out both sides of the story! LOL! Most uf us realized this a long long time ago!
certainly hit this nail on the head. All anybody needs for home security is a double barrel shotgun, LOL unless of course you have your own secret service detail complete with automatic assault riffles.
Roger Ailes lacks the intelligence and credibility to pass judgement on anyone!
Roger and FAUX NEWS are a propaganda organization attempting to discredit facts.
He was intelligent to land a great career and to write a biography.I'd say that Ailes is no dummy.His interview about the biography has posters making comments up to page 17.Now he's what I call a smart advertising executive.
concerned usually snotty a-s; We are sorry; we judge Biden by what he says. I forgot that liberals always lie. Biden's description of how an "assault weapon" is fired would be a laugh if it was a first grader talking. By the way, an ashtray CAN be more intelligent than Biden. They make them with little blowers and filters to gather smoke. Biden could not figure out how to use such device; it has a switch which must be turned on.
And yet his boys in the GOP couldn't beat Obama and Biden the first time, nor the 2nd time, couldn't stop the Affordable Healthcare Act or the Sequester, nor the tax increase for the wealthy. Now what does that say about the GOP? What's lazier than lazy and dumber than dumb as an ashtray? Oh yeah, Romney, Boehner and Cantor; Rush Limbaugh ... and apparently Ailes.
And Roger Ailes is an ugly fatass.
look in the mirror
So I work for the "public" so I've never "worked" a day in life, ey there Ailes. Up yours you PIG!
Judging by that photo, Roger Ailes is both lazy and dumb. In fact, it looks like he could barely move if his life depended on it. And if Biden is as dumb as an ashtray, Ailes must be dumber than the ashes in the ashtray. He would make an ashtray look pretty darn smart in comparison.
He said lazy. He must be a racist.
Biden and PBO said they would win and Yet Fox said that Romney was going to win. Whos dumb? lololololololololololololol Still angry I see!!
I'm sure FoxNews made the same mistake that most of us did, " the amount of stupidity in the country". Only biden could tell a man in wheel chair to stand up and take a bow. What an idiot.
And telling the country that the 47% comment was in private was REALLLLLLLY Dumb huh lololololololol Specially at a campaign rally for the rich huh lololololol or Chrysler was moving to China lololololol
