Margaret Cho on Sarah Palin... Literally ['Cho Enough]
Though financial doom has pushed superstar vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin off the front page of the news for now, celebrities (who regard the economy as little more than a cute diversion for the poor) are still as gripped with Palin-mania as ever. Now, hot on the heels of stars like Matt Damon, Lindsay Lohan, and Brooke Hogan, it's Margaret Cho's turn to opine on the veep Choice, and though she's spilled copious amount of e-ink on her Myspace blog to lobby against the Republican ticket, today found

Lindsay Lohan's dad fires back at Barack Obama
Michael Lohan called out the Barack Obama campaign after they passed on Lindsay Lohan's offer to host events for young voters. A source in the Democratic candidate's camp told the Chicago Sun-Times that Lindsay "''is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.'' Michael had the following to say to TMZ: "Everyone is entitled to an opinion and so is Obama and his staff. Then again, you know what they say about opinions. Unfortunately, for them, to make such a comment about my da

Obama Captures The Magic Of Hitler
To find anything comparable to crowds’ euphoric reactions to Obama, you would have to go back to old newsreels of German crowds in the 1930s, with their adulation of their fuehrer, Adolf Hitler. That says more about the Germans than Obama… Share and Enjoy: Posted: 18th, September 2008 | In: Barack Obama, Politicians, Twitterings - Best Of The Web.

Obama and the 40-Year-Old Virgin
Regrettably but predictably, the success of Barack Obama has revived traditional knee-jerk racism on the American far right – and the latest examples are more blatant than latent. In Michigan, right-wing operatives are seeking to aggravate white Democrats by linking Obama to Kwame Kilpatrick, the disgraced mayor of Detroit who leaves office today in a deal with prosecutors that included pleading guilty to two felony charges of obstructing justice. A brief clip of Obama praising Kilpatrick last year, lo

McCain Rips Obama Over Lohan Snub
Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's seized the opportunity Wednesday to rip Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama for purportedly snubbing the actress Lindsay Lohan's offer of support. That's according to celebrity gossip site TMZ.com, which was contacted by McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds to weigh in on the controversy. Earlier this week, the Chicago Sun Times reported that Lohan purportedly offered to host a series of events to appeal to young voters, but Obama's camp refused. A

What John McCain and Barack Obama are buying on Google [Politics]
Google is the modern American voter's oracle, able to provide an answer — perhaps not always the correct one, but always an answer — to almost any question. And it's very important to both presidential campaigns that Google show links to their websites as the answers, a privilege for which they're willing to pay. Both the McCain and Obama teams buy sponsored links on the search terms they believe voters are likely to use. Hitwise, a Web research firm, helped us dig up the campaigns' most-used se

Michelle Obama To Ladies: I’m Hot, Sarah Palin Is A Fat Pig
No one likes Michelle Obama because she went to Princeton and then glibly took her degree “on the road,” back to Chicago, where she lived off of welfare, like a slob, up to and including this day. And she hates America! Well, Smartypants gave her “critics” — basically, Michelle Malkin and a few other losers — more reason to attack her today when she asked voters not to decide their vote based on, “she’s cute.” And as the AP tells us in an objective news

Now Palin Out of U.N. Anti-Iran Rally, Too!
Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been disinvited from a rally planned for Monday to protest Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's U.N. visit. Earlier in the week, Hillary Clinton dropped out of the event when Palin was added to the list of speakers. Now rally organizers have asked Palin to stay away, bowing to pressure from Jewish Democrats who argued that her presence would turn the event into a Republican political rally. (The McCain campaign had called for Senator Barack Obama to join Palin

Michael Lohan Responds Lindsay Lohan Barack Obama Snub
Michael Lohan has something to say (Doesn’t he always?) about the rumored snub daughter Lindsay Lohan suffered at the hands of the Obama campaign earlier this week. “For Barack Obama to condemn my daughter for past indiscretions when he admitted to the exact same himself is indicative of what kind of president he would be,” Michael said in an email to FOX News on Wednesday. “Lindsay is gifted — she has a wonderful heart and she can and will affect millions of people in a very pos

Michael Lohan Slams Barack Obama
“For Barack Obama to condemn my daughter for past indiscretions when he admitted to the exact same himself is indicative of what kind of president he would be,” Michael Lohan told FoxNews.com. “Lindsay is gifted — she has a wonderful heart and she can and will affect millions of people in a very positive way. She is here to stay,” he continues. “Obama might have eight years, and then he will be giving lectures. Who knows, maybe Lindsay will give him a part in one of her movi

Sarah Palin's Daughter Caught Doing Drugs On Tape
 Heavens to murgatroid, will it ever stop? The Enquirer has done some digging and says that it came up with a video of Bristol Palin smoking pot on camera.

What did David Kernell do or not do with Sarah Palin’s email? Democratic Representative Mike Kernell allegedly says that David Kernell is under questioning in Sarah Palin’s email hacking! Mike Kernell allegedly won’t say any further details about David Kernell, the email hack investigation, or David Kernell’s whereabouts. A report tonight claims the following: “State Rep.

Patrick Wilson on Sarah Palin: ‘I Can’t Go There.’
Patrick Wilson is living in a Watchmen world. The Florida-born actor has been gamely employed since playing a pedophile in the indie thriller Hard Candy opposite Ellen Page. But on March 6th (barring a current legal battle between Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox doesn't delay its release), an adaptation of the most celebrated graphic novel of all-time, will hit theaters featuring Wilson in a plum role as the superhero Nite Owl. But until Watchmen hits, Wilson's got some promotin' to do, namely for Lakevie

S.S. What the Hell’s Wrong With Lindsay’s Face?
Lindsay Lohan attended the “Ugly Betty”.premiere party in NYC Monday night two days before her Guest role on the show was set to wrap, and mother of God is her makeup awful. Her face is a good five shades darker than the rest of her body and her lipstick is the exact same shade as 1992’s Totally Hair Barbie. Instead of a makeup gun, it looks like she went with the makeup cannon. I understand was very popular with the whores back in Revolutionary times. Just like the minuet and syphilis!

Barack, Lindsay, McCain & Papa Lohan: The New Mean Girls!
In a series of silly events that plays out like a Mean Girls sequel, Barack Obama’s camp turned down an offer from Lindsay Lohan to host a fundraiser for him because she “is not exactly the kind of high profile star who would be positive for us.” Ouch.  Not well-played, Barack!  Any Queen Bee worth her backstabbing salt knows the exchange should have gone like this: BARACK: Oh my gawd, I would LOVE to have you host my fundraiser. Lindsay: Really? BARACK:  Totally.  But now’s

October Marie Claire: Cigs For Lindsay, Skydiving For Newlyweds, And Botox For All Ages [Coverlies]
Interviewer Lucy Kaylin doesn't really get all that much out of Lindsay Lohan in this month's Marie Claire (surprise!), but she sure does love to watch LiLo smoke. Lindsay puts her cigarette out in a cup of brown liquid. She flicks her ash into a baked potato. At one point Kaylin even likens Lindsay's fingers to cigarettes. Possibly our intrepid MC operative recently quit smoking? Luckily she resisted the urge to light up Lohan's thumb long enough to get her take on the nickname LiLo: "Whatever — it's

Senator Chuck Hagel: A ’stretch’ to say Palin is qualified
Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said his party’s vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, lacks foreign policy experience and called it a "stretch" to say she’s qualified to be president. "She doesn’t have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said in an interview published Thursday by the Omaha World-Herald. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don’t know what you can say. You can’t say anything." Read the Rest at Link... If you'r

Let The People Vote For Obama Because They Like Michelle, It's Fine [News Roundup]
Michelle Obama is so endearingly naive. Today, she told her audience "People shouldn't make a decision this time based on, 'I like that guy' or 'she's cute.' And I'm talking about me." Michelle, at this point, let's just do whatever it takes to get your husband elected, okay? [Huffington Post] Especially since voting machines in 10 swing states are still fucked up. [CNN] And because John McCain is standing behind his remarks about not meeting with the democratically-elected Prime Minister of Spain unless he

Hacker From That Times Story On Palin Emails: "i wish they'd done it properly" [Hackers]
Perhaps yesterday's Sarah Palin email hack reminded you of that brilliant engrossing story the New York Times ran back in July about 4chan, the juvenile message board community of hackers, trolls and sundry internet misanthropes that pulled it off? The writer hung out with that molestation victim who wrote the nasty fake blog about that thirteen-year-old MySpace hoax suicide case and got his identity stolen by a hacker with a Rolls Royce named Weev. Well, we found the writer, Matt Schwartz*, on the internet

Palin Pushes Up ‘Hannity’ Ratings
After jump starting ratings for “ABC World News” last week, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made the rounds to Fox News’ “Hannity and Colmes” on Wednesday, pushing the talk show to its second-highest total viewership in 2008. Part one of Sean Hannity’s interview with Gov. Palin brought in 4.9 million viewers, second only to the show’s coverage of Gov. Palin’s speech during the Republican National Convention earlier in the month, according to Nielsen Media Research. The show also did well in its k

Will Val Kilmer Bring Eco-Awareness To New Mexico’s Governor’s Mansion
In case you haven’t been hanging out around by the lockers, the word on the street is that Val Kilmer might run for Governor of New Mexico in 2010. Sure you could say that Kilmer doesn’t have enough experience to handle a major political position, but I’d argue that these days that doesn’t really seem to matter (see also: Sarah Palin). Oh and might I also remind you that he played Batman and that any person who saves Gotham City can certainly run Mexico City. But on a more serious note: here at Ec
