    In Playbook today, Mike Allen reports that “friends and associates” are encouraging Fox News CEO Roger Ailes to run for president in 2012:

    “Ailes knows how to frame an issue better anybody and that’s what we need now,” says one Ailes friend who is encouraging him to run. Frank Luntz, for one, tells Playbook that Ailes could be a force if does it. “I have known Roger Ailes for 29 years,” says Luntz. “No one knows how to win better than Roger.”

    I think it's a great idea!

    And hey, if it doesn't work out for him in the primaries, he could always be Sarah's running mate.

    That must be why FOX is not eating out of Obama's hand, the owner has an agenda, and is white to boot. Thanks.

    The owner of FOX News is toying with a presidential run.


    Why am I not surprised?

    Media and consultants tend to be a little smarter, more sincere in their views and less vague than candidates themselves, that doesn't make them any more electable. I wouldn't mind watching a debate with him, Gingrich and Huckabee: not a winner between them, but just enough intelligence and experience to drown out Sarah.

    Wow, Palin in '12 primary debates, that'll be a passenger train wreck worth watching.

    You should be, since he's an Australian citizen. Mr. Ailes merely runs the network.

    I would wear this campaign button, especially if the official slogan was:

    "Ah report, yous decide, dipstick!"

    Ya because framing issues is way more important than SOLVING THEM.

    Insert problem into following "frame":

    The root cause of _____________ is the liberals' completely wrongheaded fantasy that ______________ and their anti-American attempts to _______________, meaning that everyday hardworking Americans end up with less freedom, more taxes, and less security.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to B-Bob again.
