Sorry to post this shortly after the lunch hour; hopefully I won’t induce any vomiting. Although Hillary Clinton has insisted that she will not be running for the 2012 White House bid (crossing fingers) one of her Chicago-based fans, William DeJean, has spent $3,000 creating the first campaign ad. He states, “In my opinion, we need the Clintons back in the White House to fix this country,” he told FoxNews.com. “I don’t think we’re going in the right direction. I don’t like this administration. I think they’re ruining the Democratic Party.” Well, I think we can all agree on the ‘not going in the right direction’ part, but do people honestly think she’s the solution?
“My ad is expressing what everyone is thinking,” he added. “She has more experience working in and with the White House than most living presidents,” the caption reads. “She is one of the most admired women in our nation’s history. Let’s make sure the president we should have elected in 2008 will be on the ballot in 2012.” Oh, OK, thanks for that William. I actually think that what ‘everyone is thinking’ right now is that you are fairly delusional.
“There’s a lot of buyer’s remorse with Obama,” DeJean said. “I believe Hillary Clinton is the man for the job. If we don’t get Clintons back in the White House, I don’t see a future for this country.”
Well, she certainly would be the “man” for the job.
Do the people on DWTS only like Republicans? Last year they had DeLay, and this year they’ll have Bristol Palin. On top of that, political pundit Ann Coulter and former Bushie Condoleezza Rice were both asked to be on the show.
I don’t have cable, thus I use a galactic antenna thingy to watch three channels, but I would pay good money to watch Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid dance with various professionals. That way, when they have a stress fracture or sprained ankle, they can test out that awesome health care they’ve been talking about.
Well, apart from all having the same haircut, bad teeth, and a forehead that screams, “pick me for a before and after Botox success poster!,” they’re the three Democrats upon which the Senate balance hinges. Ooooh. We’re shaking in our boots.
POLITICO did a little piece rounding up designers’ opinions on the Oval Office’s new beige look. I think this guy sums it up perfectly:\

“The neutral Obama color scheme, soothing and subdued, allows the occupant to take center stage. To that effect, the design is elegant, well-proportioned and balanced. Blue and gold, traditionally the colors of royalty, are a thing of the past.”
Yep, gold and royalty are a thing of the past. As are wealth, global hegemony, and a respectable hierarchy. America is now just soporific melange of uninspired and undifferentiated underachieving pale. Hail to the chief.
So now that she finally fits the textbook definition of “housewife,” Bethenny Frankel of “The Real Housewives of New York” is quitting the show. That’s such a shame, because she was the only talented person on the show, unless you count the Countess’ ability to sing in a male’s baritone pitch.

This certainly won’t thaw the icy relationship between Palin and the former senator.
From POLITICO:
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski conceded the GOP nomination to attorney Joe Miller on Tuesday evening, becoming the third senator to lose renomination this cycle.
After a day of tallying outstanding ballots left her with a 1,630-vote deficit, Murkowski told reporters at a press conference outside her Anchorage campaign headquarters that she was dropping her reelection bid.
“I don’t see a scenario where the primary will turn out in my favor. And that is a reality that is before me at this point in time,” Murkowski told reporters.
Miller, who had the backing of former Gov. Sarah Palin, defeated Murkowski in what will likely be remembered as one of the biggest upsets in Alaska’s political history and one of the most stunning defeats of the entire cycle. Not long before the primary, polls showed Murkowski coasting to victory over Miller.
Oh, wait. That’s just Stephanie Pratt. Carry on.
Say it ain’t so!!! According to E! News:
“They really hit it off,” the source tells E! News. “He’s crazy about her and she thinks he’s cute.
We hear Jay even met Kristin’s mom during the post-game meet and greet—the reality star was in town visiting her fam over the weekend.
The two then had their first official date Monday night in Chicago going on a group date to Angels and Kings bar, where they were “kissing all night.”
“They had a lot of fun,” says a source. “Kristin wants to come back to Chicago more often during the season.”
NO! I know probably no one else cares about this because it’s sure to fizzle out in a matter of days since Kristin is a fame-whore and nut-job, but I am actually concerned. I would like to take a moment to make a personal address to Jay on LBB. Ahem.
Jay— We are fellow Vanderbilt alum. I have watched the Bears practice at their training camp in my hometown of Lake Forest, IL, AND have partied at Angels and Kings before. We not only chatted at Sportsmans Bar in Nashville, but you also helped me carry a heavy case of Sugar-Free Red Bull to my car at the Sams Club parking lot in Chicago. And you choose this clown over me? SO RUDE. Is this why the Bears have a 0-3 record so far this year? Do I need to forsake my Bears fan club membership and root for the Skins now? We are so donezo.
