Spike Says Silly Stuff Incessantly

The Guardian reports:

Director Spike Lee has waded into the ongoing controversy surrounding Jeremiah Wright, the Chicago pastor whose provocative statements have proved a thorn in the side of Democrat frontrunner Barack Obama. Lee advises the preacher to do the right thing and keep quiet. “The more he opens his mouth, the more damage he does,” he told the Guardian yesterday.

For good measure, Lee hinted at a political conspiracy behind Wright’s recent, contentious attempts to justify his remarks. “It looks like he’s being paid to keep talking,” he said.

Spike Lee. Telling a paranoid conspiracy freak that he talks too much. And that he’s doing so as part of a conspiracy. Usually at this point in the post I try to throw something in to make the person’s words even sillier, but I’m not sure it’s possible in this case. Maybe if he made fun of Wright for being really short and making Girl 6, that might be slightly more ironic.

Arianna Huffington: “I’m Not Setting Myself Up as Some Kind of Paragon”

Apparently this is going to be the new tack for Global Warmingers who don’t live like Global Warming actually exists: “I realize I’m a hypocrite! How can you criticize me for being a hypocrite if I’ve already admitted it?” You got us there, Arianna, I guess we can’t. But we don’t have to take you seriously either. “Save the planet, dahlink!” Every time I hear her voice, I expect Eddie Albert to pop up with a pitchfork.

An Inconvenient… Um… Er…

You may have heard that, as ABC News reported, the footage of the “collapsing Antarctic ice shelves” in Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth was actually made up of special-effects shots taken from the 2004 sci-fi doozy The Day After Tomorrow:

Well, it’s fake but accurate, you might say. “Just because Big Al manipulated my emotions with spectacular Hollywood fakery doesn’t mean we’re not ALL GONNA DIE FROM GLOBAL WARMING!!!” If you really believe that, there’s no point in arguing with you. But you’ll have to forgive me for laughing at the look on your face when you find out what the effects guys used to make all those “glaciers”:

Sculpted from Styrofoam and later scanned into a computer, the ice shelf “flyover” looks real.

That’s right, Styrofoam! You know, the evil, evil stuff that’s being banned all over the place because it’s destroying the environment. Wonder what the studio did with it when they were done with their dumb movie? Five hundred years from now, will the last few survivors of the human race stumble upon those beautifully sculpted glaciers, completely intact, in some forgotten landfill?

Guess it’s kind of like Al’s blazingly incandescent house: You can’t save the world without destroying more than your fair share of it.

(Thanks to faithful Deceiver reader Jenn for the tip!)

President Obama, the New Hair-Splitter

By The Oversneer 12 Comments Digg! Digg this

Hat tip to National Public Radio (yes, you read that right…):

“Since the gas lines of the ’70’s, Democrats and Republicans have talked about energy independence, but nothing’s changed except now Exxon’s making $40 billion a year, and we’re paying $3.50 for gas. I’m Barack Obama. I don’t take money from oil companies or Washington lobbyists, and I won’t let them block change anymore. They’ll pay a penalty on windfall profits. We’ll invest in alternative energy, create jobs and free ourselves from foreign oil.”

obama_pointing_small.jpgAnd yet, as Newhouse News Service reports:

… Obama has received tens of thousands of dollars from people in many of the same groups and industries he regularly rails against.

“He may not take money from Political Action Committees or lobbyists, but he is taking interest money,” said Sheila Krumholtz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign finance issues.

“He’s getting a lot of money from individuals representing lawyers and law firms, security firms, real estate and Hollywood,” Krumholtz said.

“You can’t say that he doesn’t take special-interest money.”

State lobbyists and nonwage-earning spouses of lobbyists and lobbying firm employees contributed $115,163 to Obama’s campaign through March 20, according to the center.

People in the oil and gas industries have given $222,309 to Obama. He received $528,765 from the pharmaceutical and health industry, making him the largest recipient of its largesse.

Not that Hillary Clinton or John McCain are much better, but the least we should expect of these goons is a frank admission that they’re bought and paid for, right?

DMX and 50 Cent Know What’s Going On

By Holly Won't 4 Comments Digg! Digg this

The more I think about it, the more I think rappers’ political views might be pretty reflective of the American people’s total lack of interest in the presidential election.

First was DMX, a convicted felon, and his hilarious summary of the race:

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.dmx.jpg
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

Barack.
What the f-ck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the f-ck?! That ain’t no f-ckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the f-ck outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the f-ck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his f-ckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullsh-t. Stop that bullsh-t” [laughs] “That ain’t your f-ckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
Nope.

fiddy.jpgThen came 50 Cent, who is giving DMX a run for his candidate-knowledge money. First he was supporting Sen. Hillary:

“I just think she’d do a good job. There’s nothing bad about Obama in my eyes either, but I just think Hillary would be my choice.

“I’m not sure America is ready to have a black president. I think they might kill him.”

Then after Sen. Obama’s race speech two weeks ago, Fiddy switched sides:

“I heard Obama speak. He hit me with that he-just-got-done- watching-’Malcolm X,’ and I swear to God, I’m like, ‘Yo, Obama!’ ” He threw his fist in the air. “I’m Obama to the end now, baby!”

And now?

“To be honest, I haven’t been following that anymore. I lost my interest,” he said. “I listened to some of the debate and things that they were saying, and I just got lost in everything that was going on. … Don’t look for my vote, for me to determine nothing on that. Just say, ‘50 Cent, he don’t know, so don’t ask Fiddy.’”

Actually I think Fiddy and DMX might be a good barometer of how people really feel about the election. Continue asking Fiddy, I say!

Hillary Clinton’s Universal Insolvent Health Care

hillarycare.jpg

From Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign website:

“Hillary’s American Health Choices Plan covers all Americans and improves health care by lowering costs and improving quality. It speaks to American values, American families, and American jobs.”

Shucks! Just six months ago Clinton boldly told a campaign audience in Iowa:

“I believe everyone — every man, woman and child — should have quality, affordable health care in America.”

That is, every man, woman, and child who doesn’t work for her campaign. From this morning’s Politico:

Among the debts reported this month by Hillary Rodham Clinton’s struggling presidential campaign, the $292,000 in unpaid health insurance premiums for her campaign staff stands out …

[T]he unpaid bills to Aetna were at least two months old, according to FEC filings.

They show the campaign ended last year owing Aetna more than $213,000 for “employee benefits.”

Eliot Spitzer’s Downturned Mouth Of Shame Gets Shamier

spitzer-and-kristin.jpg

Did anybody really believe that ex-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was only shagging call girls from one agency?

myspacehooker.jpgToday the New York Post linked the Spitz-Monkey to a second hooker ring, called Wicked Models NYC (FBI-disabled website still available online here). The Anna Nicole Smith skankalike pictured above is Kristin “Billie” Davis, a busty blonde party-girl from a “rough and tumble trailer park.” The Post alleges that she “personally serviced” the then-Governor, and also ran the escort service.

More Post pics of the inflatable love doll accused lady of the evening-slash-afternoon here.

Lovely little side-note (H/T to Gawker): On her MySpace page, Davis describes herself as “GOD.” Not joking.

Note that this is not the Kristin Davis who stars in the upcoming Sex and the City film. She’s waaaay too classy to have naked pictures of herself floating around the internet. At least I’m pretty sure.

Hillary’s Making This Stuff Way Too Easy

By Simon Scowl 11 Comments Digg! Digg this
Categories: U.S. Left-wing Politicos

Hillary Clinton, George Washington University, 3/17:

I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia, and as Togo said, there was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn’t go, so send the First Lady. That’s where we went.

I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.

Sounds dangerous! Well, she should definitely be the president, then.

What’s that? Oh…

Oops. She was aware she was being filmed, right? Of course, this is the woman who claimed she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who didn’t become famous until years after she was born. And she pretends to love her husband. So, what’s one more little white lie between friends.

And how about that Sinbad, huh? This is the best thing to happen to his career since… um… somebody help me out here.

P.S. Now she’s saying she “misspoke.” She was thinking of one of the other times she had to dodge sniper fire, probably.

Hillary’s Having a Bad Day Here at Deceiver

Check out this statewide ad the Clinton campaign ran in Wisconsin last month:

At least she stopped short of tucking her hands into her armpits, flapping her elbows, and clucking like a chicken. And it’s a good thing too, because according to today’s Huffington Post:

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, once so eager to debate she ran two ads questioning why her rival wouldn’t, has yet to say whether she’ll debate Sen. Barack Obama in North Carolina next month.

Both presidential candidates plan to participate in an ABC News debate on April 16 in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania holds it primary days later, on April 22. Obama also has agreed to a debate April 19 hosted by CBS in North Carolina. North Carolina holds its primary May 6.

Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said Monday that the campaign has not made a decision about the CBS debate and is still working through the details.

More like Howard Chickenson! Oh wait, I made the chicken joke already.
