politi-couture for the urbane sophisticate
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were spotted at the White House yesterday afternoon getting a private tour, adding to the list of celebrities that have suddenly become more interested in patriotism. Perhaps this is why people were so excited they were turning 18 and created a website counting down til their legal age rolled around–to see which way they’d vote!
Rielle Hunter, John Edwards’ mistress and baby mama of someone who misspelled my name, is so ashamed of her affair that she’s decided to pose with minimal clothing on a widely distributed magazine. She also added some tingly bits about her sex tape and her cliched obsession with a politician:
“I love Johnny and I love my daughter more than anything in the world, and I don’t want to ever do anything to hurt them or hurt their relationship.”
“I’m not a predator, I’m not a gold digger, I’m not the stalker. I didn’t have any power in that way in our relationship. He held all the power.”
“I know he loves me. I have never had any doubt at all about that. We love each other very much. And that hasn’t changed, and I believe that will be till death do us part. The love doesn’t go away. It’s unconditional. It’s unconditional on my part, but our connection is profound. There’s a lot of passion there.”
Since being a corrupt politician deserves praise, disgraced governor will be starring in Donald Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.” He seems to be playing up his rap sheet as much as possible, enjoying his infamy as the guy who got caught trying to make under-the-table deals and somehow got away scot-free (and with really bad hair).
Such gems to look forward to hearing him say include, “I didn’t cook at all while governor, I was cooking up results for people,” and, “You’re fired? Yeah, I’ve heard that one before.”
Feeling like “a fish out of water,” actress Debra Messing spent Thursday on Capitol Hill. Messing testified in before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa and Global health to discuss funding for AIDS.
After giving her testimony, the “Will & Grace” star talked with notable Reps Waxman, Lowey, and Engel (among others), which was somehow thrilling for the fiery redhead, who told POLITICO, “I am obsessed with punditry and watch all the political shows so this was a treat for me.”
Messing added that she is set to play an “Ann Coulter-esque” politico in upcoming show “Wright vs. Wrong” on ABC, went so far as to say about the controversial conservative: “I would be thrilled to hear from her camp, and thrilled to meet her.”
Kristin Davis, and no, not “The WASPy One” from Sex and the City, but rather the former madam of Eliot Spitzer’s escort, has thrown her hat–and apparently the rest of her clothing–into the ring.
The ex-con is heading up “The Personal Freedom Party,” which is basically a social free-for-all. She wants to legalize marijuana, prostitution, and same-sex marriages.
Spoken like your common libertarian call girl, Kristin Davis says her “bold plan would bring in an estimated $2.5 billion in new revenues from legalized prostitution and marijuana. Cuomo, Lazio and the other candidates have no bold plan to increase revenues and lower taxes.”
Heidi Montag of The Hills fame/infamy starred in a new online video urging for consumer protection. Montag says in the FunnyOrDie clip:
“If you’re a reality TV star, chances are good that you’ll one day have plastic surgery,” the MTV reality star says. “It’s also a for sure thing that you’ll have to pay for that surgery with credit cards. With hidden fees and standard interest rate increases, that $11,000 jaw line can end up costing you in upwards of $50,000…Call Senators Chris Dodd and Richard Selby. Your calls make a difference.”
Here’s a tasty Monday treat from Real Clear Politics:
“Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn, Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) said. “He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive.” Rep. Massa describes a confrontation with Emanuel in a shower: “I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me.”
Video footage to follow.
From the POLITICO:
The White House has finally eradicated the last of the Bush administration’s presence. After the last of the vestigial coffee cups was used, the Obama administration has brought in a shipment of new and improved enviromentalist-friendly disposable cups. These new babies are composed of 12% post-consumer products, with the interior lining boasting a 99% post-consumer constitution.
No word on who supplied these cups, or how much the American taxpayer is paying per each of these recycled creations.
