    Ailes, Axelrod Meet, Conspire

    OH HO: Politico reports that Obama's chief strategy henchman David Axelrod had a hush-hush meeting with Fox News Slug King Roger Ailes when Obama was in NYC two weeks ago. The explosive, secret conversation, we allege, went like this:

    AXELROD: How about you guys give slightly less credence and airtime to America's most vitriolic anti-Obama wingnuts? In exchange, we'll offer Fox News better access to Obama.
    AILES: Okay.
    (Awkward pause).
    AILES: Onion ring?
    AXELROD: No, but please, take your time and finish. I...have to go.

    More or less.
