Like I’ve always said: Heidi’s hair and makeup people are some of my favorite homosexuals on the planet, and if they want to marry each other, I’m not about to be like, ‘Don’t.
The sage and ever-eloquent Spencer Pratt — a staunch Republican — discusses Prop 8 during an interview today.
What a douchebag…
Oh, and do you know how frickin’ hard it is to find a picture of just Spencer Pratt? Heidi keeps poking her ass into every picture…or it may be the other way around.
Catherine Baker Knoll, who at age 72 became the first woman to be elected as Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, died Wednesday after a four-month battle with cancer. She was 78.
Knoll died at National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, D.C., where she was recovering from a viral infection she contracted as a result of chemotherapy treatment for cancer, Gov. Ed Rendell said.
Knoll was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in July 2008 and began radiation and chemotherapy treatments before publicly revealing her illness in August.
Now, we’ve gotta’ give Sarah Palin a hand. She’s been enduring comments that none of us could probably handle. She seems like a lovely woman, but I’m incredibly happy that she will not be our next vice president. Now 2012 may be a different story.
Just last week we mentioned that anonymous people have been releasing comments about Sarah Palin, such as that she did not know that Africa is a continent, and not a country.
Well, Mrs. Palin has made a couple comments on the…err…other anonymous people’s comments about her.
“If there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about NAFTA, and about the continent vs. the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context,” she said. “That’s cruel, It’s mean-spirited. It’s immature. It’s unprofessional and those guys are jerks if they came away with it, taking things out of context and then tried to spread something on national news. It’s not fair, and it’s not right.”
Barack Obama is already working hard to get things in order!
It was announced today that Illinois U.S. Congressman Rahm Emanuel will be the administration’s chief of staff.
The LA Times reports that Mr. Emanuel previously served in Bill Clinton’s White House and that experience will allow him to guide President-elect Obama on legislative strategy and the workings of the executive branch.
The newly named chief of staff is also known to be tough as nails and a guy who knows how to get shit done.
Now that the 2008 election is over, reporters are spilling all the juciest, and previously off the record, gossip from the campaign trail. Much of it is about the infighting between Palin and McCain’s staff, as Newsweek’s treasure trove of post-election gossip reveals.
However, perhaps one of the most astounding and previously unknown tidbits about Sarah Palin has to do with her already dubious grasp of geography. According to Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron, there was great concern within the McCain campaign that Palin lacked “a degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency,” in part because she didn’t know which countries were in NAFTA, and she “didn’t understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a series, a country just in itself.”
Palin was apparently a nightmare for her campaign staff to deal with. She refused preparation help for her interview with Katie Couric and then blamed her staff, specifically Nicole Wallace, when the interview was panned as a disaster. After the Couric interview, Fox News reported, Palin turned nasty with her staff and began to accuse them of mishandling her. Palin would view press clippings of herself in the morning and throw “tantrums” over the negative coverage. There were times when she would be so nasty and angry that her staff was reduced to tears.
So, look, the New York Times has a little fun election map up, and you can zoom in on Pennsylvania and be like, “Wait, Obama won Carbon County?! Hell yea!” Then you can spend the night (or day) laughing, laughing, and laughing at John McCain ’til your lungs get tired.
Just in case you are wondering, Barack Obama received 3,185,991 votes, and John McCain received 2,585,480 votes. 61,416 other votes were for other candidates.

“I think what has been striking in this campaign is the the degree to which these kind of hate groups have been marginalized. That’s not who America is. That’s not who our future is. What I’ve found is people here don’t care what color you are. What they’re trying to figure out is who can deliver. It’s just like the Pittsburgh Steelers: they don’t care what color you are, they just want to figure out, can you make the plays?”
