The '08 Campaign Slagging Begins
Choire · 08/02/07 08:20AMToday's Times notes that Rudy Giuliani, who never met a gay or an abortion he didn't like, except when he was busy trying to kill firemen at Ground Zero, or marrying women who torture dogs, also used to employ Fox News honcho Roger Ailes. "Whether their friendship would ever affect coverage—Fox insists that it has not and will not—it is nonetheless the sort of relationship that other campaigns have noted, though none wanted to speak publicly for fear of offending the station." Sure, they're thick as thieves! But this is the sort of dirty sentence you're going to see more and more as the hellride of this stupid campaign gallops on. What it really means is: "All the campaign folk, including David Axelrod for Obama and Jennifer Hanley or Patti Solis Doyle for Clinton, have barraged us with passages about Ailes from Rudy's stupid book." We can't wait for the real opposition psychos to go into play, though. Soon enough, we'll be deluged with pictures of Bill Clinton and Ron Burkle in Malibu! And that's probably just the beginning.
