AP - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has agreed to sit down with ABC’s Charles Gibson later this week for her first television interview since John McCain chose her as his running mate more than a week ago.

More Drama For Sexy Sarah!
As we mentioned earlier this week, The National Enquirer is reporting that potential future VP Sarah Palin has some major skeletons in her closet. Apparently, she had an affair with her husband's former business partner - according to the mag. Slutty habits are hard to get rid of it seems. So, of course, John McCain's camp has threatened [...]

Team McCain Chooses Charles 'Softball' Gibson for First Sarah Palin TV Interview [Fail]
Well, the press can stop wondering when and where Sarah Palin's first post-nomination television interview will take place. A campaign adviser says they offered ABC nightly news anchor Charles Gibson the job days ago. That's the same Charles Gibson who was last seen being "greasily avuncular and patronizing" when he and his ABC cohort George Stephanopoulos were ruining the Democratic primary debate back in April. You know, the ABC-sponsored event about which a New Yorker scribe wrote, "Seldom has a large co

'W.' trailer: Can his expose of George W. Bush get Oliver Stone back in the Oscars derby?
Oliver Stone's newest film, "W.," about the life of the current U.S. commander in chief could well put the three-time Oscar winner back in the derby. As you will see from the trailer, Josh Brolin eerily embodies George W. Bush, just as his father, James, bore a strong resemblance to President Ronald Reagan when he portrayed him in a 2003 TV miniseries. Oscar winners Richard Dreyfuss as Vice President Dick Cheney and Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush lend support as do Oscar nominee James Cromwell as Preside

Sarah Palin: George Bush In Lipstick?
A core Democratic talking point against Sarah Palin is beginning to take shape: she is, critics say, the female counterpart of the current President of the United States, not only in terms of policy and social conservatism, but even personality.

Sarah Palin Affair is "Absolutely, Completely False"
The National Enquirer recently wrote a story, purporting that Sarah Palin once had an affair with one of her husband's business associates. Palin, GOP VP candidate and mother of 5, including pregnant 17-year-old daughter Bristol, just made the speech of her life at the Republican National Convention last week. Then the rumor came out that Palin actually had the affair with the husband of her former campaign manager in Alaska. Well, they're actually the same guy. Todd Palin's business partner, Sc

CHOMSKY: BUSH & CHENEY SAW IRAQ AS A SWEETHEART OIL DEAL
originally posted on By Noam Chomsky, Khaleej Times Online. Posted July 12, 2008.U.S. war planners want an obedient client state that will house major U.S. military bases, right at the heart of the world's major energy reserves. The deal just taking shape between Iraq's Oil Ministry and four Western oil companies raises critical questions about the nature of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq -- questions that should certainly be addressed by presidential candidates and seriously discussed in the U

Even Lindsay weighs in on Palin…
Yes. I’m an Alaskan. And yes, I have some opinions about our governor, and the fact that McCain has chosen her for his VP running mate for the upcoming election. Everyone in the free world has an opinion on her, and - as always happens - are digging for all the dirt on Sarah Palin and her family. Now, rumors that her youngest son, born in April, was actually her daughter’s baby have forced her to place her daughter in the limelight, to be studied, because she is 17 years old and five months pre

Heart says "Barracuda" use is fishy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The rock group Heart, angry that its '70s hit "Barracuda" is being used as the unofficial theme song for Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, is taking aim at the Alaska governor. The song, a nod to the "Sarah Barracuda" nickname Palin earned on the basketball court in high school, was dusted off for her appearance at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul on Wednesday. Heart singers Ann and Nancy Wilson said a "cease-and-desist" letter has been s

Live Blogging the RNC - God Help Us
Oh how I love live blogging. Not only do I not have to go searching for some good gossip, I get to write fast and not edit myself, throwing annoying nuisances like spelling and grammar out the window. So why not live blog Sarah Palin’s address to the Republican National Convention? Lori has left the room to balance our check book, not able to stomach the lies and hot air. But I am a trooper so here we go. 9:27 - Rudi Gulliani is still yammering on with his intro. Luckily I just finished watching Pro

The polar bears are doing just fine - Sarah Palin
NEW YORK (RUSHPRNEWS) 09/06/2008–Denying that global warming is man-made and disputing the theory of evolution as solid science as Sarah Palin does, forces one to wonder if this is solid thinking for someone who needs to be ready to step in the presidency at a moment notice. In addition to her unscientific views on evolution and as reported by the Anchorage Daily News, her attempt at bringing creationism to Alaskan public schools, Palin has said she does not believe that “global warming is man-made�

Palin Daughter's Babydaddy: Some Dude Named Levi, Reports Enquirer
Make that 2-0 for David Perel. Fresh off his success with the John Edwards story, sources tell Radar that an aggressive 36-hour push by Perel's National Enquirer reporting team forced Alaska Governor and John McCain's vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to announce that her 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant, an announcement which effectively puts an end to the Internet rumor that Palin had faked her own pregnancy to cover up her daughter's. (Or does it? There are already conspiracy theories that

McCain Speech Breaks Ratings Records
Republican Presidential candidate John McCain edged out his opponent, the Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama, in the Nielsen TV ratings, according to Reuters.

ABC's Charles Gibson getting interview with Gov. Sarah Palin
Gov. Sarah Palin came in for a lot of criticism on the Sunday morning chat shows because she wasn't giving interviews. Turns out she will give a major interview this week to ABC's Charles Gibson (pictured) in Alaska. I wonder why Rick Davis couldn't have announced that news when he appeared on "Fox News Sunday"? The McCain campaign could have avoided sniping from the press and the Democrats about Palin being sequestered from the media. The McCain camp knew this information: It made the offer t

Sarah Palin meets the press, ABC says
"Here's a news flash,'' as Sarah Palin likes to say: The Republican nominee for vice president will sit with ABC News' Charlie Gibson for an interview, according to ABC. When Palin will meet the press is not entirely clear, however. Palin, who accepted Sen. John McCain's assignment to be his running mate 10 days ago but has yet to submit to questions from any reporters covering the election campaign, which, as ABC notes, has prompted some ribbing from the other side. Someone handed Joe Biden, Barack O

Sarah Palin: New Political Rock Star
“To any critics who say a woman can’t think and work and carry a baby at the same time, I’d just like to escort that Neanderthal back to the cave.” - Sarah Palin. With her ‘naughty librarian’ good looks, north country drawl of Marge Gunderson, middle class heroine appeal of Norma Rae, grace of Jackie Kennedy, and a voice that sounds like Julia Roberts, Governor Sarah Palin took a stage in the Twin Cities of Minnesota and drank Barack Obama’s milkshake.

Why Sarah Palin Is McCain's Camaro
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Donny Deutsch told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" that "women want to be her and men want to mate with her," while Harvard's John Quelch said she's the red Chevy Camaro to John McCain's Ford F-150. They were just two of the media-blanketing opinions that followed John McCain's unveiling of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his choice for veep. Evangelicals were euphoric, Republican pundit Peggy Noonan was clearly not so sure and Democrats readied their attacks. Ad Age asked a handful of
