Fox News Pushing Karl Rove, Dick Morris Off The Air

Karl Rove's familiar 2012 presence on Fox News appears to be coming to a halt.

New York Magazine reports that President Roger Ailes is limiting Rove and fellow contributor Dick Morris' presences for the time being. A Fox News representative affirmed the situation to NYMag, adding that programming chief Bill Shine conveyed "the election's over."

Rove turned heads with an Election-night meltdown on Fox News, where he questioned the network's "premature" decision to call Ohio and, subsequently, the race for President Barack Obama. Fox News Executive Vice President of News Editorial Michael Clemente told the Associated Press the morning after that Rove's argument proved his value.

The following day, Rove appeared on Fox News, charging that Obama's victory was a product of the president's ability to suppress the vote. A week later, Ailes admitted in an interview with TVNewser that he had a "what the?" reaction to Rove's Election-night antics.

"Rove was wrong," Ailes said. "He backed down. Our guys were right."

Morris drew similar attention for his prediction that GOP candidate Mitt Romney was headed to a landslide victory. New York Magazine's report notes that Shine is requiring producers to ask for approval before lining up any Rove or Morris appearances.

Couldn't happen to two nicer guys. Rove is Machiavelli's darker cousin and Morris is just an idiot buffoon passing yack piss for Kool Aide to the base. One is dangerous the other a charleton making his living telling losers what they want to hear. Guess the guys became too big of an embarrassment for Ailes which says something considering who he has on the payroll.

I don't understand Fox News and I have always wanted to know how the company operates. It will be hard to know what goes on in that place daily and how people get promoted and hired.. If I had God's vision to see everything and I could write a masterpiece that can change the world.. Da Vinci's designs of airplane could have worked in his time if he had enough energy generators we have today.

There must be a way to explain how Fox News become what it is today... If we have technology

to record and see every movement at that place.. Then we will know and be able to prevent the same thing from happening..

If anything is certain, there will be replacements for those two doing the same thing as quickly as they say, "we'll be right back after these messages. . ."

For small things let us be grateful.

(Or not so small, given Turd Blossom's girth. )

It must be the oddest thing to be Ailes, and to find yourself having these occasional outbreaks of reason.

Morris is hard to fathom. It seemed he gave Clinton at least a little useful advice. (Of course on the other hand Clinton can spin gold out of straw intellectually, so maybe not.) But Morris's late buffoonery in precisely the mode of The Donald really went to cloud-cuckoo land extremes (props to S.J. Perelman for that verbal nugget).

The porcine Rove has already pumped millions from the likes of the Koch brothers and Sheldon. It's time for him to just go away and hire tough black doms to whip his cellulite-ridden heinie.
