Tom DeLay on 'Dancing with the Stars' for Real? Yes, Tom DeLay for Real on 'Dancing with the Stars'

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

Just heard that Tom DeLay will be one of the stars dancing on the upcoming season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

Don't believe me?

I know I'm supposed to be incredulous about this, but I guess I'm just all out of incredulous juice for the time being.

And I don't really think this is a matter of slumming or pandering to the worst elements of society for attention.

That show's been in steady decline for years.

John Edwards' Own Staff Members Were Prepared to Take Him Down

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

According to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, a bunch of staffers inside the only white man's political campaign in the history of space-time to run third behind a woman and a black guy were planning on hitting the emergency brake if it looked like their guy might win the Democratic nomination in 2008.

Not really because John Edwards was a white guy — which was just soooo 2004 — but because of that whole cheating on his wife thing — which was soooo 1999…

Basically, if it looked like Edwards was going to win the Democratic Party nomination, they were going to sabotage his campaign, several former Edwards' staffers have told me.

They said they were Democrats first, and if it looked like Edwards was going to become the nominee, they were going to bring down the campaign.

Thank god somebody was prepared to do the scuzzy thing if it came down to it. I guess that's what makes them good cogs in the D.C. machine.

Greta Van Susteren Loves Sarah Palin Almost as Much as ABC News Hates Women

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

If we have learned one thing from the recent election cycle, it is that America hates women. If you don't believe me, consider these examples of rampant misogyny within our nation…

* November 2006: 41% of Alaska votes against women for Governor.

* August 2008: A bipartisan Alaska legislative council investigates whether women fired Public Safety Commisioner Walt Monegan to settle a personal score.

* September 2008: Barack Obama calls women a pig.

* September 2008: Katie Couric humiliates women on national TV with questions about Russia and newspapers.

* November 4, 2008: 53% of the nation rejects women for higher office by voting for Barack Obama.

Well there's more bad news for women. Someone hates them even more than America: ABC News.

That's what Fox's Greta Van Susteren discovered during a recent viewing of ABC's This Week (don't tell Roger Ailes) which featured– gasp!– zero references to Sarah Palin

I just watched ABC's show This Week and the guest is California Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger… he was just asked about the Republican Party's FUTURE and the Republican Governor's Association meeting this past week in Miami. ABC News then ran tape of Gov Pawlenty, Gov Jindal, Gov Barbour and Gov Crist. Who was invisible? Gov Palin… the woman Governor of the biggest state and recently on the ticket.

Greta goes on — with grammar and syntax that aren't exactly helpful to the women's movement– at one point imploring her readers to "not read this blog as a pro-Palin blog entry but do read this as a pro-women blog entry."

That isn't to say you can't find pro-Palin blog entries out there. In fact, here's one from Greta herself.

And if you're more the TV type, you can always opt for her multi-part puff piece interview with the Governor, airing in a constant loop on Fox.

Good Morning America Pals Around with William Ayers

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

This morning, domestic terrorist and anti-American Chicago community organizer William Ayers entered the Good Morning America sound stage — presumably armed with concealed guns and homemade pipe bombs — and exploded rumors that he and Barack Obama are blood brothers in the fight to destroy America…

After months of silence, the 1960's radical William Ayers sat down for his first television interview on Friday and condemned what he called a "dishonest narrative" used by Republicans to "demonize" him.

"I don't buy the idea that guilt by association should have any part of our politics," Mr. Ayers said, appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America." "This idea that we need to know more, like there's some dark, hidden secret, some secret link. It's a myth thrown up by people who want to exploit the politics of fear."

Yeah, sure. This would be a lot easier to believe if it weren't coming from the mouth of a man who pals around with Barack Obama, a man who pals around with domestic terrorists like William Ayers, a man with a violent past…

"What you call the violent past, that was a time when thousands of people were being murdered every month by our own government. We were on the right side."

Luckily, ABC was somehow able to put an end to interview before Ayers had time to domestically terrorize the studio.

There were no casualties.

Obama Totally Kind of Admits He's a Muslim

POSTED BY: Gonzalo Cordova

Obama repeatedly tells us he's a Christian, but then he goes off and does something totally Muslimy, like attending elementary school.

Now in an interview with George Stephanopoulos (that last name sounds kinda Muslim to me, too), Obama Freudianly slipped, stating, "my Muslim faith"…

Some people may claim that the comment was obviously satirically sarcastic. But since Muslims don't under satire, it's pretty clear Obama meant what he said.
