Lynne Spears, mother of Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn Spears, denied that she sent a baby gift for Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol Palin.

Sarah Palin Is Not A Woman, Not Really
Not only is Sarah Palin not a feminist, she is as anti-woman as Bush and McCain combined. That is the reason why McCain picked her; not because she is a woman and he wanted to be underhanded (which he totally did,) but because she’s a Republican, conservative man who just happens to be in a woman’s body. Yes, really… Share and Enjoy: Posted: 4th, September 2008 | In: Politicians, Race For The White House, Sarah Palin,

Does Sarah Palin Have A Type?
Say hello to the man being hunted down by the National Enquirer as the co-flirtationist in the Sarah Palin "affair" story. Palmer, Alaska, City Council member Brad Henson (for it is he) is currently nearing the end of his second term on that august body (which means, by Republican calculations, he's qualified to be secretary of state). In any event, let us clearly stipulate that we have no idea whether or not the rumor is true (or even if the rumor adds up to anything MORE than simple flirtation) before we

Sarah Palin Passed the Teleprompter Test! What’s Next for the Obama Campaign?
“She reads a teleprompter pretty well, and sometimes reminds me of Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon’s character in Election),” says Sean Woods, Senior Editor, Rolling Stone.  “As for the Obama campaign, they should discuss the issues and not the angry rhetoric from the right.” Share: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.

Don’t Worry Sarah Palin, Jamie Lynn Spears Feels Your Pain
Now that she's officially the world's most prematurely randy underage teenager, Bristol Palin must feel like she hasn't got a friend in the world. But it's OK, because there's one girl thousands of miles away who knows exactly what Bristol Palin's going through, and that's former pregnant teenager Jamie Lynn Spears. According to reports, Jamie Lynn Spears was so moved by the story of how Sarah Palin's daughter had loads of underage unprotected sex with a redneck hockey player until she ended up getting acc

Campbell Brown on Sexism and Sarah Palin
As the mother of an 8-month-old, CNN anchor Campbell Brown can relate to Gov. Sarah Palin. "I love the idea of a mother in the campaign and bringing some of those issues to the forefront," Brown told TVNewser this morning at the CNN Grill. But those issues, faced by millions of working mothers across the nation, have special significance for Palin and for Brown. As Palin campaigns, Brown reports, trying to find out more about the GOP VP nominee. Critics went after Brown Monday night after she pres

This Cover of 'Life' May Be The Closest You'll Ever Get To Tina Fey as Sarah Palin [Alternate Universes]
When we pointed out last week that potential veep candidate Sarah Palin bore a strong resemblance to Tina Fey as Liz Lemon (except for their stances on important social issues), never did we imagine the proof would come in the form of this Life cover from September 2004. Striking a remarkably similar pose to her current Rolling Stone spread (what is it with her and men with ties?), Fey needs little else besides an exotically named brood and a hilarious accent to complete her remarkably accurate Palin impres

Palin speech nearly equals Obama's -- in ratings
Filed under: News, Ratings, Reality-FreeThe Republicans have been crying foul about how the media has been unfairly going after vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Right or wrong, all that media attention, plus the curiosity about who this little known Alaska governor is, fueled last night's broadcast of her acceptance speech. The results were predictable. The Palin speech was a Nielsen ratings hit, drawing 37.2 million viewers. That's nearly as many viewers as Democratic presidential candidate Barack Ob

Community Organizers Beg to Differ
And Sarah Palin, in her enthusiastic address, said, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities." So community organizers are now organizing themselves. John Raskin of the West Side of Manhattan, founder of Community Organizers of America, has already launched a Web site (Community Organizers Fight Back) demanding that Palin apologize. Of course, they're not exactly the target demographic for Republicans, especially in Ne

Sarah Palin: I'm a Pit Bull in Lipstick
Sarah Palin put on a brave face, amidst family drama, as she delivered a rousing speech at Wednesday's GOP convention, slamming Barack Obama and billing herself as a Washington outsider. Dubbing herself "an average hockey mom," she joked, "You know what they say the difference is between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick!" Blasting Obama's background as a Chicago community organizer, the two-year governor of Alaska said, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that

Linday Lohan dispensa consigli a Sarah Palin
Lindsay Lohan deve amare molto i blog e, udite udite, la politica. Dopo aver sparato a zero su suo padre in difesa della sua fidanzata Samantha Ronson, ora la giovane attrice dalle pagine del suo My Space esprime le proprie convinzioni politiche e parla di Sarah Palin, candidata come vice presidente di John McCain. La notizia che Bristol, la figlia 17enne della governatrice dell’Alaska, è in attesa del suo primo figlio ha letteralmente invaso ogni telegiornale e tabloid americano e tutto ciò ha sc

Pundits Agree: Sarah Palin is a Freakin' Supernova
Sarah Palin bashed Barack Obama, which most pundits didn't expect, or advise. She also lobbed some decent punchlines at the talking head class, and for that, we appreciate her. But how did the folks who are paid to over-analyze these type of things, and who were on The Receiving End of her taunts, respond to her words? MSNBC's Keith Olbermann: "People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like." MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "At no time, during her entir

Sarah Palin Ratings!
Sarah Palin’s ratings last night were HUGE! Sarah Palin’s ratings for her RNC Convention speech were higher than Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and, often Barack Obama, says new ratings reports. Huge numbers are coming in today less than 24 hours after Sarah Palin’s RNC speech that featured adorable moments with Piper Palin and Tig Palin, appearances by Britsol Palin and boyfriend Levi, and more. TV Week says Palin pulled a 5.4 rating/8 share on NBC with fellow speakers. How high is that? Fo

Reuters "Reports" Sarah Palin's Speech Before She Gives It [Journalismism]
Presumably, Reuters's coverage of the forthcoming Republican convention address by Sarah Palin is based on a pre-distributed written version of the speech, and that's why the report at left was posted at least an hour ago. But shouldn't the future tense be employed, or a dislaimer be included, given that the speech hasn't, you know, occurred yet? Wrote the newswire of John McCain's running mate: "Sarah Palin touted her small-town roots and swiped at Democrat Barack Obama during a highly anticipated speech t

Sarah Palin boosts Barack Obama funding
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been good for Sen. Barack Obama's campaign fund, with sources in the Illinois Democrat's presidential campaign saying he has raised $8 million online from more than 130,000 donors since her vice presidential nomination acceptance speech last night at the Republican National Convention. Campaign aides say Obama is on pace to record $10 million in post-Palin contributions by the time Sen. John McCain takes the stage this evening for his presidential nomination acceptance speech a

And Now, A Word on Sarah Palin From Noted Political Pundit Lindsay Lohan
While all of Hollywood waits with bated breath to hear the reaction to VP pick Sarah Palin from the only actress who matters — her doppleganger, Tina Fey — headline-friendly Lindsay Lohan has decided to wade into the political waters, spouting off her own, unsolicited thoughts on the matter from her Myspace celebrity blog. Now that Palin has revealed that her 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant, she's become fair game for the Us Weekly set (indeed, she's snagged that cover as well as the fr

FNC Wins With Top Rated Convention Broadcast in Cable History
Featuring Gov. Sarah Palin as the keynote, all networks performed well. But nearly one-quarter of all those who watched the speech last night watched it on Fox News. FNC eclipsed the broadcast networks and cable competitors, amassing 9,200,000 Total Viewers in the 10-11:15pmET spot. Second place was NBC, with an average of 7,700,000.

GOP's strawman: 'Community organizer'
ST. PAUL - The Republicans are giving community organizers a bad name here - that's their goal, anyway, for at least one former community organizer: Barack Obama. "Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown,''; vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said here last night. "And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor if sort of like a community orga

'S.N.L.' Hasn't Decided Whom to Cast as Palin
Whether the Sarah Palin VP-pick ultimately pays off for John McCain remains to be seen. But for one group of Americans, Gov. Palin's sudden arrival on the national scene promises to be an instant boon: comics! Judging from what's already made its way to YouTube  (haven't you seen this, this or this?), the moose-hunting hockey mom is in for a ribbing. So who will Saturday Night Live pick to play the small screen version of Sarah Barracuda? We checked in this afternoon with Mr. Michaels' office in New Yor
