Fox News Chief Roger Ailes Can't Stop Calling the Cops

By John Cook, Apr 29, 2011 02:24 PM
Fox News chief Roger Ailes and his wife Elizabeth must get spooked a lot in their weekend home in rural Putnam Valley, N.Y., because they call 911 a lot. During one 30-day period last summer, police cars were dispatched to their address six times.
All told, according to police records we obtained from the Putnam County Sheriff's Department via New York's Freedom of Information Law, cops have been called to the Ailes' home 10 times since 2009. In eight of those calls, units were actually sent to the house. None of the calls resulted in an investigation, arrest, or determination that any criminal activity had taken place.

Ailes, a former Nixon aide, is known for his paranoid behavior. He is licensed to carry a handgun in New York City, has claimed to be the victim of numerous death threats, travels with a security detail, and has placed his homes under video surveillance.

And, as we reported earlier this month, he had reporters who worked for the small local newspapers he owns in Putnam County followed because he thought they were speaking ill of him and his wife.

1. Freaky. Well they say conservatives are dominated by irrational fears, thanks to their lizard brain

and inadequate cerebral cortex, and that they have nightmares more frequently than liberals.

10. Maybe he'd sleep more serenely if he didn't eat rich foods so close to bedtime?

I'd suggest it to him, but he looks like he's used to a steady diet of truffles and orphan hearts in beurre blanc sauce, with Robert Morley and Sidney Greenstreet for dessert!

3. Living in constant fear of his life must be hard for Ailes.
I don't feel sorry for him.. let him dwell in his own misery for all I care.

5. I hope the Sheriff's Department sends him the bill.
And a judge orders that he get immediate psycholgical help.

This is your leader, teabaggers! ;)

6. One way to have peace of mind is to never do anything that leads to a guilty conscience.

Roger Ailes clearly doesn't have peace of mind. He reminds me of the scenes in "Ghost" where the "welcome wagon" swarms the newly-dead bad guys with misery & fear.

7. In a better world one day...
...the cops would show up at his place. Ailes would say that he didn't call them, and the cops would say that he's right, they didn't receive a call from him. Instead, they had come out to arrest him for some sort of serious crime.

11. Karma sucks for Ailes.
He and teh Dick (Cheney) are going to grow evermore insane over their paranoia and, unlike Scrooge, they'll never realize a solution.

Oy, the Schadenfreude.

12. So he's relying on a government service instead of the private security he could easily afford?
Huh.
