For me, Dick Morris is just a pesky gnat ~ but, after his years of sleazy politics and dirty tricks and smarmy gloating, it pleases me to see Karl Rove taking such a big hit from so many "professionally" ~ Sooz

Fox News to Karl Rove And Dick Morris, ‘Bye Bye, Boys’
2012/12/04
By Lorraine Devon Wilke

In the continuing, squirming readjustment of the Republican party since the gut punch known as Election 2012, and in a story that’s either completely stunning or pulled from the “why’d it take so long?” vaults, Fox News chief, Roger Ailes, has seen the light and given the boot to crow-eating duo Karl Rove and Dick Morris.

It’s no secret that both Rove and Morris took preposterous punditry to its height during the election – Rove with his infamous post-Ohio “it’s premature!” hissy fit and Morris’ smarmy, smiling, absolute assurances that “Romney will win in a landslide.” In the pre-election culture at Fox News it’s likely everyone would’ve looked away and neither would’ve been called on their crazy. But it’s a new day, the playbook has changed, and this one says both were wrong, both made the boss look bad, both are gone.

Stunning and “why’d it take so long?”

New York Magazine reports that given the new, somewhat chagrined post-election atmosphere at Fox News, it’s time for “freshening story lines – and in some cases, changing the characters”:


In other words, gentlemen, you are no longer needed.

Likely they’ll find other pulpits, other soapboxes; other carnivals at which to bark, probably sooner as opposed to later. But until then the airwaves will seem somehow clearer. Take a deep breath and enjoy. Ahhhhhh.

Dear Mr. Ailes;

You might consider changing the gift-wrapping before Christmas to be a good move for the sake of perception but in order to regain some shred of credibility I would strongly reccommend that FOX News get rid of that which "Ailes" it - permanently.
Failure to do so will most likely result in FOX getting "Rogered" again.

Sincerely,

Oskar

love it.

LMAO! ~ so much for "rehabbing" the Fox News mindset, reputation, and "ethics" ~ I don't think Rupert Murdoch read your suggestion, oskar ~ ~ Sooz

Karl Rove wasn’t benched from Fox News for long
Well, that was quick. After a 27-day hiatus, Karl Rove has made his triumphant return to Fox News.
By Jillian Rayfield

For the first time since he refused to accept the Election Night returns from Ohio, Karl Rove made an appearance on Fox News.

Politico counts 27 days since Rove’s last appearance on Fox, a brief hiatus that ended with last night’s appearance on “Special Report” with Bret Baier.

Gabe Sherman of New York Magazine reported last week that Fox News chief Roger Ailes instructed staffers to keep Rove and Dick Morris off the air, as “a pair of pundits perhaps most closely aligned with Fox’s anti-Obama campaign,” as Sherman put it.
