Rush Limbaugh: Ashamed of America!
2 months ago
You’ve done it now, Democrats. You’ve made Rush Limbaugh officially “ashamed” to be an American.
That’s how the conservative radio host described himself yesterday when ranting about the budget sequestration, an issue President Obama says could cripple the economy if Congress can’t strike a deal before next month.
Limbaugh believes that argument from Obama – who said yesterday that love of rich people binds the GOP together – is an “insult” to his “common sense and intelligence.”

Move over, Brangelina. You’re being upstaged by… your parents?!?
Indeed, days after Brad Pitt’s mother, Jane Pitt, made headlines for penning an editorial that bashed Barack Obama as “a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage,” Angelina Jolie’s estranged father has come out in support of his quasi relative.
“Good for her,” Jon Voight – who once laid into Obama himself for spreading “anti-Semitism throughout the world” – told Fox News about Mrs. Pitt.
The veteran actor, one of the more outspoken conservatives in Hollywood, added that he agreed all around

Real Housewives of New Jersey Bring Feud to The View, Conduct Separate Interviews
11 months ago
Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile of The Real Housewives of New Jersey appeared on The View yesterday. But the castmates did not do so as a group.
Due to what she referred to as “family issues,” Giudice refused to conduct her interview alongside Gorgoa and Wakile, telling the co-hosts:
“We have family issues that we need to resolve and I didn’t think that today was the appropriate time, you know, in front of an audience and it to be done in just a few minutes.”
We gotta give props to the Bravo producers for staging this controversy and finding a way to extend the feud beyond

1 year ago
President Barack Obama fielded questions about the economy, gay marriage, Fifty Shades of Grey – all the key issues – with the women of The View this week.
He corrected Elisabeth Hasselbeck when she described the President’s and Mitt Romney’s position on gay marriage as essentially the same. Not so, he says.
Obama discussed the JP Morgan banking crisis and much more in what was a pleasant, but ultimately forgettable and unnecessary visit to the daytime gab-fest.
There were some substantive policy discussions during his brief visit, but the highlight, at least from THG’s perspective, was

Kristen Stewart is an A-list movie star who has two blockbusters on the way in 2012: Snow White and the Huntsman, and Breaking Dawn Part 2.
But that doesn’t mean the actress finds her life especially exciting.
“I didn’t go to f-cking school, I feel I would have had a bit something extra if I had,” she tells the latest issue of Elle. “Maybe because my life is so f-cking perfect, when I see the other side of life, it just seems like, almost like I want…

Rick Santorum sees sex in purely utilitarian terms.
If it’s not done with fertilizing an egg in mind, dude’s got no love for it. Any such act (or product, or film, or contraceptive) is JUST PLAIN WRONG, PEOPLE!!
The Republican presidential candidate and staunch social conservative wants to ban hard core adult films, calling them toxic to marriage and relationships.
The former Pennsylvania senator writes on his website:
“America is suffering from a pandemic of pornography. It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex

1 year ago
Despite two strong finishes in as many races, Ron Paul has been derided as unelectable, even dangerous in his bid for the GOP presidential nomination by many critics.
Such criticism of Paul stems not from Democrats, but from Republican pundits and political figures – something U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina is upset by.
DeMint, whose state holds a critical primary Saturday, says it’s time to start taking Paul, his views and the contingent of supporters he has assembled seriously.
This isn’t just lip service, either. In a series of interviews, including this one on the Laura
