Black and Deck Her: The Hillary Story

Another week, another example of Hillary Clinton’s campaign making an issue of Barack Obama’s race.

Just two weeks after raising hell by circulating a photo of Obama in traditional Somalian dress, it comes out that her newly released ad has clearly been doctored to make Obama look darker skinned.

The ad, shown above, can easily be compared with the original debate footage. The images have been darkened and squished to make Obama’s face look more black.

And why is it offensive? Because this is at least the third time in a month the campaign has used racism to divide voters:

Several figures in Clinton’s campaign, including her husband, the former president, have been criticized in recent weeks for raising Obama’s race. In response, Bill Clinton has said he will stick to promoting his wife, rather than defending her.

She’s not even trying to justify it anymore. Why bother when it’s so obvious?

If a Little Self-Knowledge Is a Dangerous Thing, Lindsay Lohan’s Dad Is Completely Safe

Scientists have recently discovered a newly evolved part of the human brain that’s exclusively devoted to storing news about the Lohan family. It’s called “The Mindfill.” It’s like a landfill, except more disgusting and less likely to contain anything useful. So let’s fill it up!

You know about the E! network enabling this miserable family’s dysfunction with the upcoming reality show Living Lohan, which will follow Dina’s enthusiastic attempts to destroy the lives of her remaining children. And you’ve probably heard that their dad Michael doesn’t like the idea. Well, according to Page Six:

Lindsay’s Bible-thumping father has slammed his ex-wife, Dina, for her reality show “Living Lohan,” in which she features their youngest daughter, Ali. But it turns out he’s got his own show he’s trying to sell. “He wants to do a male version of ‘The View’ with [fellow born-again pal] Stephen Baldwin. It’s not likely to happen.”

Hmmmm, a male version of The View with Michael Lohan and Stephen Baldwin… how about calling it Seein’ Double?

Hey, the guy’s gotta make a living. Living Lohan is probably why E! scuttled Michael’s own reality show (which he denies pursuing), but you can still watch the jaw-dropping pitch tape on Youtube:

There comes that time in every father’s life when he thinks to himself: “And I thought my mugshot looked bad…”

And yes, apparently Hookers for Jesus is real. (Don’t you remember the miracle of the loaves and implants?) That explains what Michael has been doing in the strip clubs: using his position as a missionary! Er, wait… Anyway, if Mike needs any help, I hear Eliot Spitzer is looking for a job.

Game Over, Governor Spitzer

spitzer.jpgGov. Eliot Spitzer of New York confirmed today that he will resign his post sometime before Monday due to his involvement in an international prostitution ring.

The great irony, of course, is that he created laws to bust others who paid for sex. Said Vincent Romano, the defense attorney who represented a man that Spitzer put in jail in 2004:

“It was a big splash. They had the perp walk. He caused a lot of embarrassment to a lot of people in the case to his benefit. What he put their families through at the time, he’s probably experiencing now: the level of embarrassment and ridicule,” Romano said.

“He’s got this overzealous, mean-spirited prosecution, but behind closed doors in another state, he’s doing the identical thing that he’s accusing others of doing,” he added. “And the other irony of it is that you’ve made a career off of a wiretap, and your demise is by the same prosecutorial tool.”

And the great hypocrisy: The New York Post has an aide reporting that Spitzer spent more than $80,000 on hookers over the past 10 years, during which time he was creating said laws.

Maybe Lindsay’s “No Fur” Button is just a Brazilian-wax ad

lilo-with-nofur-button.jpg

Offered without (much) comment: Lindsay Lohan yesterday, sporting a “No fur” button from the Humane Society of the United States. (They’re like PETA, only not quite as angry all the time.)

The pin is on her wool sweater. She’s carrying a leather jacket.

Don’t tell me it’s “pleather,” because only porn stars wear that kind of stuff (as Jenna Jameson ably demonstrated this week). And I don’t think LiLo has fallen quite that far. Yet.

Oh — and for someone wearing a “No fur” button, she sure owns a lot of fur coats.

The first photo (above) was taken less than six weeks ago.
