Think going to the Ingaugural Balls sounds glamorous?

Posted at 4:07 pm in Barack Obama & Media

Think again. Lyric Winick gives us the data dump on what the Inaugural Balls are really like, and they’re anything but glamorous, unless you’re a really well connected member of the elite class. Gee, what a surprise. It seems those well connected members of the elite class will be at private, elegant parties because they [...]

Will Blago resign tomorrow?

Posted at 1:15 pm in Barack Obama & Democrats & Media & Politics & Society

That’s what the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting may happen:
Gov. Blagojevich will decide early next week — perhaps as early as Monday — whether he should resign, a source close to the governor told the Chicago Sun-Times.
“He was blindsided by this,” the source said. “He needs some time to digest what’s going on. He’s going to [...]

Barack Obama to purchase $30,000 ring for Michelle

Posted at 9:17 am in Barack Obama & Culture & Media & Society

Barack Obama is so thankful for his wife’s support during his campaign that he’s buying her a rare rhodium and diamond ring that costs $30,000. I love jewelry as much as the next girl, but this is a bit over the top. I know, it’s his money, so he can spend it as he [...]

E.D. Hill to leave Fox News

Posted at 8:59 am in Media

She hasn’t been on the air since June 16th apparently because during a promo for a segment on non-verbal communication on June 6th, she said this about Barack and Michelle Obama’s fist bump:
HILL: A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently. We’ll show you some interesting body [...]

Motrin’s big mistake

Posted at 10:28 pm in Media

Motrin released a new ad that got a lot of moms so roiled that they expressed their anger publicly and with such vehemence that Motrin pulled the ad off the air. The ad outraged mothers who took offense at the condescending tone and the accusation that moms who carry their babies in slings do so [...]

Media bias and an uninformed electorate: how Obama got elected

Posted at 11:48 pm in 2008 Presidential Election & Barack Obama & Media

This video confirmed for me what I already knew: the media, in the tank for Obama, helped give him the presidency by refusing to report anything negative about him while consistently hammering John McCain and Sarah Palin. Twelve Obama supporters were interviewed on election day after casting their ballots. They were asked questions about the [...]

McCain camp kicks Maureen Dowd of campaign plane

Posted at 8:12 am in 2008 Presidential Election & Media

Yes! The folks at the McCain campaign decided they’ve had enough of her leftist attacks so they threw her off the plane. She was left to fend for herself in Washington, Pennsylvania. Laughably, she’s now saying McCain infringed upon her First Amendment rights to ride in a political campaign plane:
“It was disappointing because I didn’t [...]

Sarah Palin talks to Katie Couric

Posted at 9:32 pm in 2008 Presidential Election & Media & Sarah Palin

From what I understand (I didn’t see it), the first part of Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric was pretty hard to watch because it was obvious Sarah was so uncomfortable. Tonight, however, she continued her interview with Couric and I thought it was great. Sarah was comfortable answering questions off the cuff and did [...]

Sarah Palin spontaneously takes questions from media while at Ground Zero

Posted at 2:52 pm in 2008 Presidential Election & Media & Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin took questions from the media while at Ground Zero something I’d love to see her do more of. There are a number of people out there who say let Sarah go and do her thing, and I agree. Here’s a portion of the transcript from Hotline:
CNN: On the topic of never letting this [...]

I will not back down in my support of Sarah Palin

Posted at 2:38 pm in 2008 Presidential Election & Culture & Media & Politics & Sarah Palin & Society

Let’s be honest here. What the POS on the left are trying to do is defeat Sarah Palin by undercutting her support on the right. They’re trying to get us to waver. They’re trying to get us to go wobbly on our support for her. It’s the only way they can defeat her. They [...]
