Sarah Palin To Fox News: I Don’t Want To Talk To Media Oulets Other Than Fox News (Mediaite)

Image by GregTheBusker via Flickrby Ray Rahman
November 5th, 2010

During Fox News’ election coverage, on a night when attention should’ve been on actual candidates, Shepard Smith turned his attention to his colleague Sarah Palin. If she does one day decide to run for office, Smith asked her, would she talk to media outlets that aren’t Fox News, the network at which she currently has exclusive “protection”? Palin’s answer was not promising—for curious voters or for her potential candidacy.


She began by reminding Smith that she can’t be “constrained”: “I can still talk to whomever I want to.”

MSNBC president Phil Griffin made the decision after learning Olbermann donated to three Democratic candidates this election cycle.

Keith Olbermann has been suspended without pay from MSNBC after it was learned he donated to three Democrats this election. Chris Hayes will fill in for him Friday night.

"I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay," MSNBC president Phil Griffin said in a statement, as obtained by The Huffington Post.

The Countdown host donated $2,400 each to Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, and to Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway, Politico reported Friday.

In NBC Interview, Bush Calls Kanye's On-Air Insult Worst Moment of Presidency (Media Mob)

Cover of Decision Points

By Nate Freeman

November 3, 2010

In anticipation of the Nov. 9 release of his memoir Decision Points, George W. Bush will sit down with Matt Lauer for a prime-time news special this Monday to talk over the experiences relayed in the book. In the excerpts released yesterday in a press release, the NBC anchor grilled the ex-head of state on the memoir's key moments — namely 9/11, the Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina, etc.

But which of these events — all of them defining disasters of this millennium — does Bush consider the worst moment of his presidency? None, actually! It seems Bush is the latest victim of the cutting disses Kanye West can sneak into his nimble, dexterous flow. The offending quip, of course, was West's assertion, on an NBC Katrina telethon, that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Bush admits that 'Ye burned him hard.

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin (Politico)

By MIKE ALLEN & JIM VANDEHEI 

10/31/10 

Top Republicans in Washington and in the national GOP establishment say the 2010 campaign highlighted an urgent task that they will begin in earnest as soon as the elections are over: Stop Sarah Palin.

Interviews with advisers to the main 2012 presidential contenders and with other veteran Republican operatives make clear they see themselves on a common, if uncoordinated, mission of halting the momentum and credibility Palin gained with conservative activists by plunging so aggressively into this year’s midterm campaigns.

‘My Girl’s A Republican’ Rap Song Mines Double Entendre From Every Big Conservative Figure (Mediaite)

Donald Rumdfeld with Saddam Hussein, image via Wikipediaby Jon Bershad
November 1st, 2010

It’s an old complaint that you hear all the time: “Political discourse in this country is fascinating…but can you dance to it?” Fortunately, thanks to The Real, you now can. The group has released a new song and video entitled “My Girl’s a Republican” that’s catchy and hilarious enough to keep you dancing all the way to voting booth tomorrow.

The Real is a “hip hop sketch comedy” group (a typical video parodies “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” by using the story of Dr. Dre’s Detox, the rap world’s Chinese Democracy). For the song, they’ve basically taken every conservative figure or scandal from the past few years and mashed them together for a pun and double entendre-filled ode to the character, wiles, and sexual prowess of a sexy Sister Grizzly. It’s accompanied by an equally entertaining video which uses homemade effects, singing Glenn Beck, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Rudy Guiliani heads to showcase the song in (what appears to be) one take.

Meet the Guy Who Told the World About Christine O’Donnell’s Pubes (New York Magazine)

Christine O'Donnell, image by Felix_Nine via FlickrIt takes an unheard of amount of skill scumminess to unite all factions of the Internet behind Christine O'Donnell, someone the Internet usually enjoys mocking to no end. But according to the Smoking Gun, Dustin Dominiak is the guy who, with an anonymous Gawker essay that revealed information about O'Donnell's lady parts, was able to do it. They tracked him down through his former roommate, Brad Kurisko, a Boy Scouts of America employee whose uniform Dominiak was wearing for Halloween in the photos that ran with the Gawker story. They couldn't get Kurisko to tell them who "Anonymous" was, but soon enough, Kurisko and "Anonymous" gave it away by accident.

Fox News Estimates Jon Stewart’s Crowd at Seven People (Borowitz Report)

Image by TalkMediaNews via FlickrWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – The Fox News Channel reported today that the turnout for Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” was underwhelming at best, with Fox sources estimating the total turnout at seven people.

“Our total count includes Stewart, [Stephen] Colbert, and what appear to be a few of their friends and relatives,” said Fox anchor Shepard Smith.  “This has to be a smaller crowd than they were expecting.”

Christine O’Donnell’s campaign threatened to sue a radio station if it dared to post a video of its interview with her online. During the WDEL-AM interview, O’Donnell can be seen snapping her fingers to beckon a spokesman to her side as interviewer Rick Jensen pressed her on how she would have handled the New Castle County budget differently than Chris Coons. After the interview, O’Donnell threatened to sue if the video went online, Jensen tells the AP.

(Newser) – Is the real Christine O’Donnell really just like you? Rebecca Dana of the Daily Beast decided to ask the candidate's old neighbors to find out, and most spoke relatively well of her. “To me, she never said anything nuts,” said one teacher at a nearby Catholic school. Another recalls her as a “sweet girl” who once baked him and his roommates burnt cookies. “We probably flirted with her a little bit, and she flirted a little bit back.”

(Newser) – The words “ugly” and “new low” are being tossed around a lot in reports of last night’s Kentucky Senate debate, in which Rand Paul and Jack Conway sparred over a new Conway ad bashing Paul for his alleged “Aqua Buddha” shenanigans. (Background available here and here.) Paul accused Conway of attacking his religious beliefs. Conway said the ad wasn't about religion, to howls from the crowd. “Values matter,” he protested. “When is it ever a good idea to tie up a woman and ask her to kneel before Aqua Buddha?”

October 18th

The editor of the Alaska Dispatch website was arrested by U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller's private security guards Sunday as the editor attempted to interview Miller at the end of a public event in an Anchorage school.

Tony Hopfinger was handcuffed by the guards and detained in a hallway at Central Middle School until Anchorage police came and told the guards to release Hopfinger.

Hopfinger has not been charged but the owner of the Drop Zone, the private security firm that's been providing Miller's security, accused Hopfinger of trespassing at the public event, a town hall sponsored by the Miller campaign. The owner, William Fulton, also said Hopfinger assaulted a man by shoving him.

Angry Ron Paul Accuses Lawrence O’Donnell Of Breaking Pre-Show Agreement (Mediaite)

In what is unarguably the most explosive interview in the infancy of The Last Word, Republican Rep. Ron Paul had a logisitical on-air disagreement with host Lawrence O’Donnell that, while not the centerpiece of the discussion on the Tea Party, certainly colored the rest of the debate an ugly shade of contentious and uncomfortable that recalled his son Rand’s debate with Rachel Maddow.

Mr. Media interviews Lawrence O'Donnell about 'The Last Word'

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, host of 'The Last Word,' image via WikipediaBy BOB ANDELMAN (email)

Soft-spoken political analyst and frequent MSNBC fill-in host Lawrence O’Donnell launched his own show on the Micro-Peacock at 10 p.m. last night.

--------------

Listen to my Lawrence O'Donnell interview!

--------------

It seems likely to provide a gentle landing for left-wing political junkies who get progressively more pumped up as they sit through the sometimes hysterical "Ed Show," "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," then need an extra hour to settle back down for bedtime following the cerebral Rachel Maddow.

O’Donnell is a different kind of analyst on MSNBC, which has a well-earned reputation for being a strong voice for Democratic views, despite a day that starts with Republicans "Morning" Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan.

I worried that having Olbermann as one of his first guests last night might be a mistake. I generally enjoy Keith’s caffeinated delivery; his presence reinforced O’Donnell’s more subtle approach in style, if not words. It turned out to be effective because it reinforced that “The Last Word” is not “Countdown,” and that’s a good thing at 10 p.m.

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL Audio Excerpt: "Frequently, because I worked in politics, because I worked in government, in the past, as a host, I've been sitting there knowing more than my guest and I am being forced to ask a question of someone who knows less than I do. And there's an awkward posture to that, that I think we got away with, thanks to my acting skills."

The GOP is pulling a West Virginia campaign ad after the casting call for "hicky" actors was made public by Politico. "No one at the NRSC, or associated with the NRSC, had anything to do with the language used in this casting call," said a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Campaign. "We do not support it, and suffice to say, we would encourage our contractors to never work with this outside agency again." The spot criticizes Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin, who's facing Republican businessman John Raese in his bid to take over Robert Byrd's Senate seat.

Christine O'Donnell is being accused of more lying, this time about her claim to have taken a course at England's esteemed Oxford University, which you probably could have guessed was false.

O'Donnell's LinkedIn bio page lists "University of Oxford" as one of the schools she attended, claiming she studied "Post Modernism in the New Millennium." But it turns out that was just a course conducted by an institution known as the Phoenix Institute, which merely rented space at Oxford ....

"It wasn't an official course of Oxford University," [the program's overseer Chris] Fletcher said. "It wasn't sponsored by Oxford University. We rented the space."

Christine O'Donnell's national 'cure the gays' tour ends very, very badly (The Maddow Blog)

By Rachel Maddow
Fri Sep 17, 2010

Before becoming a full-time candidate, Christine O'Donnell crusaded as a religious right activist, including a national tour proclaiming that homosexuality was curable. Living then in Los Angeles, O'Donnell hired a young spokesman for her organization, The Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth (SALT).

That young spokesman, Wade Richards, had supposedly been cured of his homosexuality through a sort of evangelical boot camp. Soon after touring the country with O'Donnell, he came (back) out of the closet.

Glenn Beck And Bill O’Reilly Spar Over Who The Leader Of America Is (Mediaite)

Glenn Beck, image via Wikipediaby Frances Martel
September 18th, 2010
Whenever Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly appear together, it doesn’t take long to find an issue on which they disagree (for example, O’Reilly is not overly concerned about the biblical vermin invading the White House). On last night’s Beck “casual Friday” appearance on The O’Reilly Factor, they delivered their classic banter, this time on why Beck thinks he is not the leader of the Tea Party movement nor Barack Obama the leader of America.

O’Reilly names Beck, along with Sarah Palin, as leaders of the Tea Party movement in his new book, Pinheads and Patriots. Beck first takes issue with calling famous left-wing donation machine and conservative Bogeyman George Soros a “pinhead” (“if Soros is in it,” Beck offers, best to “rename it Angels and Demons”). “You and I are in simpatico on this one,” O’Reilly offers hopelessly, trying to explain the issue is one of semantics. Then Beck reads an excerpt from the book referring to him, and objects to the label “Tea Party leader”– “I’m not leading it.”
