This news should not come as a surprise to media watchers who will remember that Roger Ailes was reported to have told confidants<\/a> that “he thinks Palin is an idiot.”<\/em> That probably set the stage for contract negotiations that resulted in unsatisfactory terms for the Tea Party queen. Perhaps Ailes offered her a moose burger and parking validation to re-up – and even that would have been more than she’s worth.<\/p>\n
