Sarah Palin’s Daughter Uses Slurs to Attack Fellow Facebooker
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rants, Rumors,
Sarah Palin’s daughter Willow (the one who’s not currently on Dancing With the Stars) recently posted an incendiary Facebook rant aimed at a fellow high school student. Her comments were made in response toa status update reading “Sarah Palin’s Alaska, is failing so hard right now.”
The TLC show focuses on the outdoorsy Sarah Palin who shoots moose, uses chainsaws on trees and pushes the GOP agenda -- with large doses of folksy charm mixed in, of course. And the comment, posted by a student identified as “Tre,” set off Palin’s daughter something fierce.
She responded: “Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I’ve seen pictures of, your disgusting … My sister had a kid and is still hot.”
We would like to take this time to regret the lamentable English education this poor child has been receiving. Fortunately, the Governor of Alaska (elected in 2006), promised to focus on the state’s resource development, public health and education, so the problem should be. Oh, wait -- our sources show that the now-resigned Governor who promised to improve Alaska’s education was actually Sarah Palin. Well, shoot.

The Daily Show's news team was clearly passionately moved by the outpouring of support for the gay community, which has been presented in the form of It Gets Better videos.
The US military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is a hot topic among legislators right now, and teen suicides of homosexual youths are a rising concern. Many celebrities and politicians have stepped forward to make messages of support for gays of all ages. Comedy Central's contribution? This "It Gets Worse" video aimed at Senator John McCain -- yes, the one who was almost our president.
The "It Gets Worse" video is classic Daily Show, and very tongue-in-cheek. Check it out above!

Keith Olbermann Issues Apology … Sort Of
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Cable, NBC, News,
MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann, who recently made waves in the media community, issued an apology … or, what’s going to pass for one. The newsman was suspended from the cable news network after he donated to three separate (Democratic) political campaigns -- hardly the stuff of objective journalism.
Olbermann, who hosts MSNBC’s Countdown, apologized to fans for all the “unnecessary drama” surrounding the situation. He says he didn’t know the existence of the rule, which he says is applied inconsistently by NBC. He also stated he was told no form of discipline would follow his actions … just before he was suspended from the network.

MSNBC to Lift Keith Olbermann’s Suspension Tuesday
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Cable, News,
Keith Olbermann will be back in his office before his laptop gets cold.
The newsman will be behind the desk on Tuesday, when MSNBC relaxes the suspension he earned for violating NBC rules. (Olbermann donated $2,400 to three different political campaigns: Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords.)
Phil Griffin, MSNBC chief exec, said that Olbermann’s two-day ban was “an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy.”

Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert Restore Sanity

| Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear | ||||
| Jon Stewart - Moment of Sincerity | ||||
|
||||
Despite the fact that Comedy Central’s Rally was thrown together in only a few weeks, and the fact that it revolved around two late night cable TV hosts, estimates show that more than a quarter million Americans flooded the National Mall for a dose of sanity … and/or fear.
The three-hour event was peppered with filler: a “special appearance” from the MythBusters hosts; musical performances by Ozzy Osbourne, Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow, among others; even a long-winded benediction from former SNL regular “Father” Guido Sarducci -- but there were a few moments of sincerity mixed in with all the comedy.
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, who approached the rally with typically opposite points of view, faced off against each other in brief skits that felt a lot like a live, daytime version of their late-night talk shows, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report -- but somewhere in the middle of it all, a message did manage to shine through. Stewart’s “moment of sincerity,” his wrap-up speech, is viewable in the video above … and it’s definitely worth a watch.
As he stood before the crowd of 250,000 thousand (or, as he announced when he made his entrance, “over 10 million people,” depending on which estimate you use), Jon Stewart reminded the world that “We live not in hard times ... not end times.”

VIDEO: Zach Galifianakis Smokes Joint During HBO Panel
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Talk Shows, Cable, HBO, Video,
UPDATE: Maher's rep claims the "joint" wasn't real.
Zach Galifianakis may not be a Mel Gibson supporter, but there is one thing he is in favor of: the legalization of marijuana.
During the recent broadcast of Real Time with Bill Maher, the Hangover star surprised his fellow roundtable guests when he pulled out a special prop for the discussion on Proposition 19.
Just in case you were wondering if Zach was simply blowing smoke, conservative commentary Margaret Hoover (the woman seen laughing) verified he wasn’t.

President Barack Obama to Appear on The Daily Show

| Barack Obama | ||||

The Daily Show has officially announced that President Barack Obama will become the first sitting president to appear on the series. The leader of the free world is scheduled to visit the late night talk show Wednesday, October 27.
Obama himself is a friend of the show -- he appeared via video conferencing only days before the 2008 presidential election (view that moment in the clip above).
The president's appearance is surely no coincidence. Comedy Central isn’t exactly a big news media outlet, but in its way the cable network is an active contributor to pop culture and the way people view the political landscape. Strongly left-oriented, Comedy Central’s audience is in Obama’s target Democratic and left-leaning undecided demographic … and the midterm elections are now less than a dozen days away.
Will you be tuning it to hear the President’s message?
Wyclef Jean Hospitalized for Stress
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
Wyclef Jean‘s failed run for the presidency of Haiti might have worked out for the best.
Although he only put his name in the race back in August, Jean—who officially dropped his bid last week after being excluded from the list of viable candidates—is dealing with something most elected officials experience on a daily basis: stress.
According to a rep for the 37-year-old musician, Jean is now recovering from the “grueling eight weeks he’s had.” Wyclef, who is reportedly suffering from “stress and fatigue,” is being treated an undisclosed location.
He is expected to be discharged sometime this week after taking “it easy.”

The Colbert nation has spoken…will the Comedy Central host answer?
Comedy Central fans have organized their own campaign to prod Stephen Colbert into hosting a “Restoring Truthiness” rally in response to Glenn Beck’s recent “Restoring Honor” rally, which was strongly backed by the GOP.
The idea seems to have sprung from a post on Reddit, and everything has snowballed since. A Facebook page and website have now been created for the rally, which has been given an October 10, 2010 date. A locale for the rally has also been named: Washington, D.C.’s Lincoln Memorial, where Beck held his event. Fund-raising and merchandising will help fund the rally. Any remaining monies will be donated to the charity of Colbert’s choice.
