Michelle Obama Refuses To Take The Sarah Palin Bait

Michelle O. may be a lot of things (starting with ANGRY!), but she ain't stupid. I mean, I understand the utter hate and contempt liberal pundits have for Sarah Palin: she's more popular that ever, continues to spout conservative values and speaks to working-class Americans (instead of talking down to them like the idiots most liberals think Americans are). But Michelle Obama, for all her flaws, is too smart to play that game. Why come off as yet another liberal elite looking down on America by bashing Sarah Palin? Michelle may not "know her", but she's damn well heard of Palin and she knows Citizen Sarah remains popular for a reason. Better to take a pass on Palin then join the rest of the condescending, know-it-all, liberal elites already making fun of her.

Carrie Prejean Threatens To Leave Larry King Live Due to Larry Being "Inappropriate"

Honestly, Carrie could've answered the question. Larry King is a liberal sympathizer, but any journalist with a reporter's acumen would've thought their audience had a right to know how is it that she ended up settling with the Miss California USA pageant campaign after all that recent drama between them went down.

Colin Powell: I've Been Racially Profiled "Many Times"

HuffPo:

In an interview with CNN's Larry King, former Secretary of State Colin Powell suggested that both the Cambridge police and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates were to blame for last week's incident.

Saying he has suffered from racial profiling "many times," the general suggested that Gates could have handled the situation differently. He urged young people confronted by the police to "cooperate. Don't make the situation more difficult."

Powell later added, "Do you get angry? Yes. Do you manifest that anger? You protest, you try to get things fixed, but it's kind of a better course of action to take it easy and don't let your anger make the current situation worse.

H/T: Ms. Underestimated

Unibrow Polygamist Woman

Just in case you've been living in a cave of late, some polygamy ranch in Texas recently got raided by the cops:

A judge today ruled in the Texas polygamy case that all 416 children from the Yearning for Zion Ranch must remain in temporary state custody, even as Texas Rangers investigate a possible hoax behind phone calls made last month that prompted a police raid of the sect's compound two weeks ago. "This is the hardest, toughest decision a judge makes any day," state District Judge Barbara Walther said of her ruling to keep the children from the parents who have, in some cases, allegedly abused them.

The judge also ordered the fathers and mothers to undergo DNA testing to establish parental relations. The tests will be performed Monday at a mobile testing lab outside the San Angelo Coliseum, where most of the children are being held (27 teenage boys were sent to a camp for juvenile boys and girls 400 miles away).

Separately, police have identified a Colorado woman as a "person of interest" in regard to telephone calls placed to a crisis center hotline in San Angelo.

In truth, the only reason I'm even posting anything this sick story is because I needed an excuse to display that picture (above) of one of the polygamists wives who was actually on the "Larry King". Damn, talk about somebody in serious need of a makeover--get her some tweezers quick while you're at it.

Tammy Faye Bakker on "Larry King"

Clips from Larry King's very disturbing interview with the former Tammy Faye Bakker the other night. Cancer has reduced Tammy Faye to 65lbs. and she is literally a shell of her former self. Was this interview really necessary?





UPDATE: Tammy Faye Messner Dies At 65
