One of the most surprising friendships to come to light in recent years has got to be the apparently affectionate relationship between liberal news host Rachel Maddow and conservative media tycoon Roger Ailes. Today we learned that the unlikely pair could have become co-workers as well.

With Ailes’ passing just last week, Maddow revealed on “The Howard Stern Show” Thursday that she was once offered to work at Fox News — though it would have been an unusual job.

“He once told me that he wanted to hire me at Fox and then he told me he would never put me on air,” she told Howard Stern.

Maddow indicated that this job offer occurred only a few years ago.

1. Same offer he made to Sean Hannity, Hannity took it

never says a god damn thing worth repeating

2. Too bad he is still on...

...I thought Howard Stern was past tense.

3. So Done.....

Not surprising in the least, but done.

4. Offered a sinecure, she refused

That's telling of both her and Ailes. And now with Faux being beaten out by MSNBC Ailes is surely spinning in his grave (if there is room enough for that to happen).
