On the subject of executive authority, the administration had little interest in
Sen. Russ Feingold’s hearing on so-called “czars.” When it comes to executive branch appointees who do not require senate confirmation, Robert Gibbs said, “I would assume that Congress and Senator Feingold have more weighty topics to grapple with than something like this.”
Finally, Politico reports that during the president's visit to the United Nations Senior Advisor David Axelrod met with Fox CEO Roger Ailes over coffee. Apparently they discussed news coverage and the “relationship between the two organizations.” HUH?
Now, I’m no defender of Fox as anyone who watches this show knows. But why is the president’s top advisor meeting with the network? And which organizations is he talking about?
