Casting call for the McCain/Palin motion picture
So I was just sitting around here and couldn't help but notice how this whole soap opera known as the Republican National Convention -- which concludes tonight with the Presidential nomination of you-know-who -- fairly cries out for a movie. Not a feature, mind you. It's a bit too declasse' for that. I'm thinking more of a made-for-TV flick. On Lifetime. Called "Maverick & Huntress: The John McCain and Sarah Palin Story." It's the story of a hot babe who dons a pair of sleek specs to play do

I miss the media-friendly John McCain - VIDEOS
Filed under: News, OpEd, Saturday Night Live, Video, The Daily Show, Reality-FreeOn the eve of John McCain's speech to the RNC tonight, the New York Times has an article about how the Arizona senator has gone on the attack against the news media, who at one time he openly courted. For example, he threw a birthday party for himself at the 2004 RNC, which was attended by a number of members of the media elite. But I don't care about how McCain treated the news media then compared to what he does now (well, I

Next test for McCain and Palin: winning undecideds
A series of forceful speeches at the Republican National Convention this week – particularly Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s roof raiser Wednesday – turbocharged GOP activists searching a gloomy political landscape for something to feel good about. But the 8-1/2 weeks until Election Day will bring the real test: convincing enough undecided voters, many only now tuning into the race, that John McCain should be president. That fight, political analysts say, will turn in large measure on Senator McCain’s a

Sarah Palin's Speech: Full Of LIES!
The Associated Press closely watched Governor Sarah Palin, the GOP's VP pick, at last night's RNC convention and has outlined the many ways she exaggerated and lied. Right or Left, a lie is a lie. It doesn't matter where on the political spectrum you are, right? These are not 'personal' digs, mind you. She's lying on the 'professional' stage, y'all. Check out Pinocchio Palin's claims and the truth: Palin: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform t

This Week In Tabloids: Sarah Palin Joins Angelina & Jamie-Lynn As Cover Moms With Probs [Midweek Madness]
Welcome back to Midweek Madness. Will you look at who joins Angelina Jolie on the weekly tabloid overs this week? Governor Sarah Palin. Senator Barack Obama has already been on the cover of Us, but now he can add the OK! cover to his résumé. This issue is double sided: Democratic on the front and Republican on the back — but the information is pretty rehashed. As is the story in Us. As Rick Klein writes over on an ABC News blog: "There is no new reporting here… just a greatest hits from what's out

Should You Throw All Your Makeup Away? Yes. Will You? Probably Not. [The Beauty Myth]
Like a lot of small business owners, Ann Garrity founded hers —Organic Divas — in response to her own lifestyle needs. Specifically her decision, at a dermatologist's advice, to eliminate toxins from her beauty routine. Effectively, this meant tossing "every lotion, soap and cosmetic she used" to try to curb the excess estrogen in her system that caused Garrity's painful thyroids. The reason is that cosmetics, unregulated by the FDA, frequently contain "certain synthetic chemicals that can mimic estro

Another Big Difference Between the Edwards Story and the Palin Story
“The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Gov. Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie,” said McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt. “The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it…” “Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin look forward to discussing the issues that Americ

Leave Bristol Palin Alone
On Sunday, our tip line got more e-mails on the “OMG, Sarah Palin is actually her infant son’s grandma!” conspiracy theory than anything else in the short history of Deceiver. I don’t know if it was part of a concerted effort or just a coincidence, but a lot of people seemed to think there was something to it. So, since I’m now the “Writes about pregnant women in political stories” guy around here, I looked into it. And it was completely, insultingly ridiculous. &#

Levi Johnston Has Bristol Palin Wrapped Around His Finger

To show his devotion to her, he has her name tattooed around his ring finger. That's wicked sweet. How did he get past security? Where does the Alaskan governor live anyway? In a ice fishing shack in Anchorage?Bristol is also apparently wearing an engagement ring. Levi flew to M
