And my new BFF, the adorable and funny Jordan Elizabeth:
If you haven’t seen “Hung” yet, you should on Sundays. Not only is it made in Detroit, but it has a great and funny take on American ennui, both sexual and not.
It’s only about sex the way “The Sopranos” was only about the Mob.
The Today Show’s opening this morning teased a piece about “the topless model hosting Michelle Obama around Italy,” as if the two are BFFs. And then, at 7:49 — after holding the perverted voyeuristic interested audience for all four quarter-hours — they finally got around to the piece.
The host for the current G8 summit is Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi who, for a number of reasons ranging from pathetic to entertaining, is in the midst of a divorce. So, he needed a hostess for all the wives, or as our U.K. friends call them, WAGs, and picked former Italian showgirl Mara Carfagna, who he appointed to be the country’s equal opportunities minister, to show the WAGs around.
The young lady apparently has modeled in various states of undress. Whoop-de-doo. Others in the political discourse, whether intentional or accidental, have done the same. As long as she does her job well, y’know?
But, ooooh, the word “topless” on morning television. How racy.
Look, dude, I don’t care if you hooked up with a llama when you were in Argentina, as long as you are competent in your position and you aren’t a raging hypocrite about it.
So, when you say this about your actions, comparing yourself to King David(!):
Which has begat this:
When you once upon a time said this about a fellow sinner:
You then should check out this piece about this extremely interesting graphic that indicates Red Staters “sin” (as they would define it) more than Blue Staters.
And, then, in conclusion, dear governor, you should remember this quote from the Bible: “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” ~ Matthew 7:1.
. . . on males of a certain age, such as myself, with her poster.
Because we didn’t know, prior to then, that women’s nipples could do that.
As the debate over whether Kris Allen should’ve beaten Adam Lambert in the American Idol finale sputters to an end, I don’t know which is sadder funnier: the revelation that Arkansans may have stuffed the ballot box to keep America safe from post-ironic, re-fried Ziggy Stardust moves (not that there’s anything wrong with that), or that, according to the NYT, “[i]n Arkansas, [Idol sponsor AT&T reps] were invited to attend the local watch parties organized by the community. A few local employees brought a small number of demo phones with them and provided texting tutorials to those who were interested.”
Which means that those Arkansas residents had to be shown how to text.
Oy. Ahh-hahahahahahahahaha.
My salvation from that show? My ability to gratuitously re-post the Kara DioGuardi / Bikini Girl duet:
I’m a bit late to the party — for reasons to be discussed later…. always later – but having had a friend successful in the pageant business, one thought has been nagging me about Carrie Prejean.
She has convinced herself and her new, nudity-tolerant Wingnut followers that she lost the Miss USA pageant because of the substance of her answer. But there were eleven judges other than Perez Hilton, and the one thing that struck me when the question was asked — yes, we were watching — was that she was horrible in how she answered the question. She looked totally unprepared for the question. For a refresher, I refer you back to my noticing a master at work — VPILF Sarah Palin – during the campaign.
For God’s sake, you have to be in the Top 5 before the pageant even asks you to do anything other than look hot, and they do deserve re-assurance that you can handle a question in front of cameras and an audience
I sensed things were going to go bad fairly quickly, and on my Twitter in real time. Keith Olbermann had his take this week, which includes the pageant video:
Now, simply Googling “answer pageant questions” gets you this result, including these links to how-to tips here, here and here.
It’s like when you fail a quiz you know that’s coming, and then blame the quiz for existing.
Like I first said about her “opposite marriage” concept: oy.
Oy.
Behold:
Also, remember the new Miss USA wasn’t exactly wearing the union label inside her wedding pageant gown, when she opposed government bailouts of companies. Check out Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton, at the 2:20 mark:
She might not want to schedule Detroit on her itinerary in the near future.
Time to break out the cross, garlic and sunshine: Ann Coulter is arising from the dead starting a new book tour.
Her horrific, hateful political track record speaks for itself. But in terms of questioning anyone’s fashion sense, let along Michelle Obama’s, Ol’ Wire Jaw seems to be in no position to do that when she dresses like she’s on a 24-7 walk of shame.
