This little diddy has sparked serious debate! Check out celeb columnist extraordinaire Lesley Abravanel’s column in the Miami Herald. Leslie’s question about this controversial candidacy has drawn plenty of response.
Is Caroline just a distant political celebrity or could she be qualified? Or, does she have fame but little experience for such an important job?
Now that Hillary is our new secretary of state — we think she’s totally mean enough to go after the global nasties — we wonder if her attention-loving hubbie might be the pick to take over her New York senate seat.
We think it’d be a great choice. Who better to bring it home for NY than Dirty Bill? Loads of cache in Washington, too. We are rooting for him — finally a way back and he’s already got a house to live in there.
The “Change We Can Believe In” camp is starting to seem like the Clinton years 2.O. Tom Daschle? Nice guy, we suppose, but he ain’t new or innovative or anything we’d expect from the Obama folks who campaigned on business NOT as usual.
C’mon people. New blood, innovation. This is not a time to sink into the mediocre abyss of the past. Pick folks that are talented, interesting and outside the box, not party insiders. Otherwise, you just look so lame and like another politician who can’t live up to his rhetoric.
Thus far, your cabinet seems hugely underwhelming. BE ORIGINAL. CHOOSE WISELY, OBE WON. Safe is the new loser.
We hear that Obammy is up with another original idea, grabbing another Clinton era relec to be his new attorney general. If change has come to America, it looks…..rather than same. We figured the gassy rhetoric was just that.
As for Holder, the facial hair is not working on him at all. He’s like a fake Steadman Graham. If he is selected and confirmed, then we recommend a power shave. Otherwise, he’s like the black John Holmes and we’re gonna have to keep callling him Supa-Fly, as we did during the Clinton years.
Don’t throw tomatoes at us, but…….
If Obama has any sense, he’ll pick Hillary as his secretary of state. It will appease those liberal ladies who loved her and were lukewarm on him. And it will show he’s hoping to bring his party together. Lots of fractures in there, unseen but there.
She’d be really good on a lot of levels. He’s gotta have a chick and it might as well be a smart one with some experience. Plus, it’s a two-fer. For right or wrong, he gets Bill and that dude certainly holds a lot of goodwill abroad, where we need it most.
Do the right thing, dude. She’d probably be really good at it and add to your all-star team.
We could be wrong (doubtful, we have SUCH an eye), but we think Michelle Obama was again wearing Chicago designer Mario Pinto as she entered the White House this afternoon for a visit with her husband with President Bush and First Lady Laura.
Bright red, very Nancy Reagan, and we thought she looked simple, elegant and smashing. No big jewelry.
SUCH A TOTAL improvement over that election night Narcisco Rodriquez, which looked so soccer mom with a cardigan. If you have arms like hers, you show them off, even if it’s chilly. And girl, wear some heels. Those one and a half-inchers do not do you justice, especially in good clothes. Rock the heels, k?
And good work today. You can totally do the right thing when you try.
Hey, at least Obama has good taste in help. While we had previously dismissed him as a Clinton operative — cue gag reflex — we do have to say that the new White House chief of staff is kinda hottie.
Seriously. Most of the Hill types are duller than dirt and as festive as beige, but this guy is cute. Plus, there is the added bonus that his brother sparked the character Ari from the HBO show “Entourage.” Ari is the our favorite character on TV, so much so that in our diva lair, we call it “The Ari Show.”
We look forward to seeing future members of the cabinet. We hope they are similarly attractive. Because looking good is governing good… or something like that.
We’re trying to be hopeful. We really are.
While we generously give Michelle Obama a B-minus on her unusual red and black dress, our pal Court throws up a C-minus, saying she just didn’t get it.
We do give the Obama family props for their fashion coordination, down to Barack’s red tie. A little matchy, yes, but overall, they looked good up there as a unit. Confidence is always THE BEST accessory.
Loving the Cindy McCain messy chignon. She went to the polls so glamslam we were sick with glee!
Michelle Obama was fronting a more soccer mom look with her hair pulled back in a ponytail and headband, dressed down in all black. Not a good look. Quite the fashion letdown.
We predict, however, that Michelle will be fabulous tonight at her hubbie’s Chicago celebration.
Wow, Americans! You’re really showing up. That’s supercool. Those of you who endured long lines and early mornings, way to go.
Those of you who haven’t voted: GETYOURLAZYASSESUPANDOUT. It’s time we stopped taking all of our glorious freedoms and privileges here for granted.
If you’re scared about this race today, we want ya to know that we are too. But we need change and we’re just gonna have to keep the faith that whatever happens, it’s moving us in a different direction.
The country is in dire straights and whomever wins is going to inherit a pile o’ problems. It won’t be easy to fix these either, so we are going to hunker down and try hard to unite around a better way forward for us all.
Of course, we’ll be wearing great shoes and carrying a spectacular handbag as we unite…..but how could we do it any other way. AS IF.
Go vote and feel good that you stepped up and made your feelings known. It’s key to have a say. If you don’t, then please don’t complain about the path we’re on and how it’s all so broken. As we’ve said all along, change begins with you. Inside you. Let your diva light shine and know that democracy is the best system on the planet. And even at our worst, we’re still the freest and most glorious nation on the globe, times 1,000.
TTFN
We loved John McCain on “Saturday Night Live.” He was more open and funnier than we expected. The bit about a “Republican without money” Sublime. Loved the blank plates. Obama shoulda done the townhalls with him, providing a better contrast.
Supercool that his little blonde wife (LBW) came on as the QVC presenter. Ya know, if she wasn’t already so darned rich, she kinda looks like a QVC presenter. Following along with that note…. why hasn’t she spiked his campaign with the big bucks to make up for the Obama windfall? Just curious.
We think the polls are capturing a close race based on individual voters, but it’s the electoral college that will kill McCain on Tuesday.
Whew…..it’s almost over. Be cooler if it were more of a horserace. Some Senate and House seats will certainly provide that action, tho. November 5th will probably be a tough day to be a Republican, we surmise.
First he kicks reporters off of his plane. Not just any reporters. Three from the New York Post, the Dallas Morning News and The Washington Times. All of them had traveled with the campaign for months. And he gives their seats away frivolously to folks like Jet magazine and documentary filmmakers, as well as broadcast stars. Those publications, by the way, had all endorsed McCain.
Not so transparent, huh? We hate it when candidates behave this way. It’s pathetic and so base. What an incredible turnoff. If you were on the fence before, this is good enough to cause you to flip.
Then, if that stunt wasn’t bad enough, he yells at the media for shooting footage of him escorting his little daughter to a Halloween party near his Chicago home. Dude, any hope of anonymity is over. You wanna be president, your private life is pretty much done for the next four years. Sure, it’s cool that you are hanging with your little girl, but to tell the press to go away and then take off running. How inelegant!
We think your conduct in both these instances has been hardly presidential and very cheesy.
Think of all the good it would have done people who are suffering in this economy if Obama had spent that money on help and not on some infomerical… which was boring.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
And allow us to say that it seemed utterly ridiculous, if not pompous. Plus, he lied about the campaign finance stuff.
There ya go……nuff said.
Check out the latest Gallup presidential poll. We know they always tighten close to election day, but still.
John McCain isn’t trailing by that much. We wonder what the actual turnout will be. We expected a landslide for the Democrats but in the presidential race, it could be closer than we are hearing in the press.
Says our Sarah to the Chicago Tribune: “I think Hillary Clinton was held to a different standard in her primary race,” Palin said. “Do you remember the conversations that took place about her, say superficial things that they don’t talk about with men, her wardrobe and her hairstyles, all of that? That’s a bit of that double standard.”
“It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported,” Palin said.
THE STORIES ON HER $150,000 WARDROBE ARE WRONG.
Those comfortable-shoe-wearing trogs who are all over Sarah Palin about her campaign wardrobe spending should get a life. Hillary spent a pile on clothes. It’s just that she’s not in shape, has very little fashion sense and picked things that were not attractive.
These leftists are just angry because Sarah looks good in her clothes. If she were some dowdy feminist, they’d stand down. How much you think Nancy Pelosi pays for her Congressional wardrobe?
Let us answer our own question: A SHITPILE. She’s wearing as much designer apparel as Cindy McCain. And yet, why aren’t they screaming that she’s sending the wrong message?
We are incensed! Pelosi is up there in Washington spending our money on funding losers on Wall Street. And doing it wearing six-figure rags. It just so happens that they are sexless and she’s someone’s grandma. And Sarah. We’ll…..she’s hot.
AS IF.
It’s been going on for like two years, or at least it feels like that.
Oy… we’re sick of politics. Are you?
But vote. Just do it. Ya gotta. Even divas do it.
McCain should have used the S word a long time ago. Sure Obama says he’ll cut taxes — just not for people who are successful. What about people who don’t pay taxes? So, he’ll just cut them a check for being LOSERS? We thought welfare reform was something agreed upon long ago — and is working, at least somewhat.
Republicans ought to be a lot madder than they are. Shocking the malaise.
Socialism, marxism even…..Watch how many corporations take their business overseas because of this tax scheme.
We are moving into our closet where it’s pretty and happy and not dreadful. Obamaland scares us. It really does. Joe the plumber ought to be scared as hell, too.
We have seen so much poll data lately and one thing we can’t reconcile is that there are vast differences for support in this presidential election?
We know polling is a dicey thing…. but what if this election was really two points apart among likely voters as a new poll is suggesting. That is within the polling margin of error.
Our pals have been asking and now we are wondering. Perhaps this is not shaping up to be the Obama runaway victory that many suspect? It depends on who goes out and votes if you take into account the demographic breakdown of support for Obama and McCain.
That would be the shocker of the decade, no?
We have an odd feeling that something is abrew.
