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.
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.

Didn't Obama make millions writing a couple of books?
Doesn't that count, Roger?

(20,850 posts)I doubt either Biden or Obama respect Ailes and his opinion of them hardly matters. Ailes had one of the greatest resources in the country available to him to do what he wanted with and he wasted it spreading insane horsecrap. In the end he will have touched no ones life for the better and when he goes they will easily find another monkey willing to catapult the propaganda.
