And Slams Fox News"},"content":{"rendered":"

Who was it who said that Sarah Palin is an idiot? Oh yeah, everybody! Including her boss Roger Ailes<\/a>, the CEO of Fox News. And I don’t think that Palin’s latest tweet<\/a> is going to change Ailes’ mind. Responding to media reports that she had bailed out of her bus tour early, Palin tweeted:<\/p>\n

<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

The never-ceasing-to-amaze media to which she is referring is her own employer, Fox News. She even links to the story<\/a> as reported on the Fox News web site under the headline: “Report: Palin Ends ‘One Nation’ Bus Tour of America.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“As Republicans breathlessly await a decision by Sarah Palin on whether she will throw her hat into the 2012 presidential race, the former Alaska governor appears to be taking some downtime.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since she works for Fox you would think that they could just call her and ask if the bus trip is still in progress or if, like her governorship, she quit this halfway through as well. It is easy to assume that Palin has abandoned the adventure since her SarahPAC website, where she had been chronicling the trip, hasn’t had an update for two weeks and she hightailed it back to Alaska.<\/p>\n

Palin could have directed her ire at RealClearPolitics, who appear to be the first to report on the trip’s stalling. And while Fox cited itself in their byline, they did reference reporting from RCP. But Palin hauled off on Fox News itself for some reason. Is it because they have had a falling out? Is it because she is fair and balanced? Or is it because she is an idiot? We report, you decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
