More grody people to run NYC politics

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 gets political

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.”

Rahm Emanuel sounds friendly

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.

White House ditches coffee cups for greener alternative

Coffee cups from the President George W. Bush White House, left, and the President Barack Obama White House, right.

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.

Obama’s doctors advise on smoking, drinking

I’m not sure how this fits in Michelle’s “healthy living” campaign, but the physicians to the Prez have recommended he “continue” his smoking cessation efforts (ongoing for how many decades now?) and keep alcohol intake to a moderate level.

Obama’s cholesterol levels are at the high end of normal, and recommended that next time he shoves his foot in his mouth, to opt for a calorie-conscious “sparkling water summit” rather than a beer summit.

Pelosi: “A bill can be bipartisan without bipartisan votes”

Perhaps the Botox has gone to her head. After the Obamacare discussion, which saw President Obama holding court and throwing rules out the window because he’s the President, Pelosi confidently stated that healthcare would indeed be shoved through under the misnomer “reconcilliation.”

“They’ve had a field day going out and misrepresenting what the bill says..but that’s what they do,” she added.

Obama is above the law

Forget “balance of power” and all those old-fashioned tenets of democracy. The Chosen One doesn’t have time limits.

“I don’t count my time because I’m the President.”
Additionally, democrats spoke for 233 minutes, while “The Party of No” only got to represent 75% of all Americans’ disdain for government-run healthcare for 114 minutes. Seems fair.

Bristol Palin, daughter of former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, with Bristol's son, Tripp. She will guest star on the ABC family drama 'Secret Life of the American Teenager.'

The unwed daughter of Sarah Palin has been offered a spot on one of TV’s fave family shows, and Bristol was excited to accept. Appearing on “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” Bristol will be playing herself.

The nineteen-year-old is “thrilled” to be on the show, and added, that she hoped her example would make other teens think twice before engaging in sexual activities in the teen years.
