QOTD: Ailes

QOTD: Ailes

by digby

I always thought that if Limbaugh was the id of the conservative movement, Roger Ailes was the ego. Turns out he's the id too:

Roger Ailes made a jaw-dropping comment about CNN's Soledad O'Brien during a college lecture on Thursday night.

The Fox News chief was speaking to journalism students at the University of North Carolina. In the question-and-answer segment of the talk, he referred to O'Brien as "that girl that's named after a prison."


There are no "egos" (in the Freudian sense of the word) in the Conservative Movement anymore. Or true super-egos, for that matter. It's all id.
