THE TICKER – The prisoner in Alexandria :: Poll: Approval of Bush in Iraq at 38% :: Murdoch to replace son Lachlan by adopting Roger Ailes

  • The prisoner in Alexandria: Jailed NYT reporter and Bush Admin stenographer Judith Miller receives more mail than the other prisoners in the Alexandria hoosegow, as well as celebrity guests like Tom Brokaw.
  • Poll: Approval of Bush in Iraq at 38%: An AP-Ipsos poll this week showed that just 38 percent of Americans approve of Bush’s handling of Iraq. A year ago, it was about even. Biggest drop is among younger suburban women and less-educated men. Since the latter are a key constituency of the President’s, that’s gotta hurt.
  • Murdoch to replace son Lachlan by adopting Roger Ailes: Rupert Murdoch’s son Lachlan famously quit his job as Daddy’s successor and returned to Australia. Now Defamer suggests that Rupert will adopt FNC head Roger Ailes and name him chairman of Fox TV group – but points out that “they might look funny in the three legged race” at the company picnic.
