Helen Thomas, Karl Rove, Gaza and Jewish Republicans (PajamasMedia)

By Roger L. Simon

How’s that for a collection of  keywords for Google search?  Well, it was (sort of) earned by me last night from the interviews I conducted for PJTV at the annual Republican Jewish Coalition summer bash, this year at the Beverly Hilton.

Most notable was Karl Rove, the RJC’s keynote speaker of the evening, who is apparently a reader (once in a moon anyway) of this blog.  I did something of a formal interview (up soon on PJTV) with Bush 43’s former senior adviser turned author, commentator, etc., etc., on a number of issues pertinent to the occasion, one of which has already become dated. Helen Thomas has retired or — as Drudge wittily put it — been “sent to Poland.”

Shall we sing it all together now?  “Ding, dong, the witch is dead… Which old witch… the wicked witch…”  And on and on.  (It’s worth adding, to be our version of politically correct, that Poland is far from the worst place anyone could be sent these days. How about Turkey?)

But back to Rove.  Other than Thomas, I talked with him about two key areas — the Gaza Flotilla situation and  the direction of the American Jewish vote.

“To fellow baffled Americans,” Palin writes, “this revelation is further proof that it bodes well to have some sort of executive experience before occupying the Oval Office (as if the painfully slow response to the oil spill, confusion of duties, finger-pointing, lack of preparedness, and inability to grant local government simple requests weren’t proof enough).

“The current administration may be unaware that it’s the President’s duty, meeting on a CEO-to-CEO level with Hayward, to verify what BP reports,” she declares.

Agree or not, at least it’s a reasonable argument. But we’re not sure her conclusion follows.

Did Sarah Palin Get a Boob Job? A Photographic Investigation (Gawker)

 

So much has changed since Sarah Palin was governor. She raised a baby; her baby raised a baby; she made millions of dollars on a book. And at the Belmont Stakes this weekend, something else looked a little, um, new.

"Sarah Palin sure looks like she was trotting out some new work at the horse races," reports Wonkette, our favorite source for political boobs and bloggers. And in the Reuters photo offered for comparison, the great buoys of Alaska appear more bountiful than usual. However, detailed analysis reveals that, from some angles at the Belmont, the breasts didn't look quite so huge...
