Harry Reid makes the case for Bush being worst prez ever

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D) was on Alan Colmes’ talk radio show (I’m not sure if he’s ever been on Hannity & Colmes with both hosts) and explained why he thinks president Bush is the worst president we’ve had. Man is it weak.

His list:
–We had a surplus and now we don’t and it’s Bush’s fault (not 9/11 and the war on terror’s).
-He made the “worst foreign policy decision” in awhile by invading iraq. Respectable opinion as long as you include the majority of democrats that voted for it in that “worst” bunch, but history hasn’t shown it as a miserable failure or stunning success yet, so the verdict is very much not in there. A fact that a self noted historian like Reid would normally factor in a professional diagnosis.
–Cost of the war (both blood and treasure): obvious criticism if you think the war was a mistake then $50 and 1 life lost is a ripoff tragedy. But he is still off to assume in his statement that the benefits of having a military presence in the region that has become a terrorist flypaper (you’ve heard the “Fight them there so we don’t have them here” argument before) is possible to do without, let alone “worth it”.
–Iraq war has destabilized the region: this one is just unintelligent. He supports the claim by saying Iraq is in a civil war. Um, Harry – a civil war in Iraq means it is half better than it used to be. Instead of being a 100% dictator controlled anti-American terrorist allied state, it is an election run American allied state fighting terrorism and the extremest who want to return to the Saddam-rule. Historian Reid is doing Colmes’ audience a disservice with this naive summary of the war same as he would if he said the countries aiding the North in the American civil war should pull out because we were destabilizing the region. We don’t know if Iraq’s outcome will be as good as ours, but that’s the whole point – we don’t know yet. And the educated guesses based on the facts on the ground do not lead down the Reid road.

I also like how Reid is disappointed in John McCain for not running an honerable campaign and then gives zero examples along with accusing him of being unelectable because of his temper but when asked for a juicy example he refuses even one. But trust him that he COULD if he WANTED to. dude… c’mon… that’s kinda pathetic.

O’Reilly responds to the Inside Edition rage tape

Although I hate liars, I was somewhat disappointed at the lack of stupid comments I was seeing online about the original video if only in a “its too quiet” sense, but finally this one has generated some stupid here and there of some bloggers outraged that Pappa Bear only mentioned it in passing (apparently they wanted a press conference) and had a sense of humor about it instead of giving some kind of boo hoo i’m no sorry speech.

Back to You won’t be back on Fox

Despite having better ratings than its comedy companion ‘Til Death, the series was not renewed by the network on May 9, 2008, while ‘Til Death was renewed. The show is being shopped to other networks. Ironically, CBS was initially interested in the series before it landed at FOX. Heaton is the former star of CBS’ Everybody Loves Raymond, while CBS several years ago tried to get Grammer to star in a spinoff of Frasier. The network is hoping to open a new night of comedy beyond its Monday lineup, and a Grammer-Heaton project could be a solid anchor for such an extension. On May 27, 2008, it was announced that Kelsey Grammer had signed on to play the lead in a new ABC sitcom Roman’s Empire.

And what’s up with THIS crap? Sounds like a dick move on Fox’s part, no? Check this out:

Kelsey Grammer said Tuesday that Fox is dropping his sitcom “Back to You,” calling the decision a surprise and a shame. “They have let it go,” Grammer told The Associated Press. “We were told all this time we were in good shape and we were coming back.”

On Friday, Grammer taped an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show promoting the series. When the veteran sitcom star (“Cheers,” “Frasier”) arrived home later that evening he received a call telling him that the show was canceled.

Geeeeez. That’s a headline in and of itself.

Exit question: is it hypocritical of me to be sorry a show was canceled that I never supported myself by watching a single episode? Maybe I’m just subconsciously pouty over it cuz I had a possible shot at getting on screen in an episode or more. :/

Slutty prom dress gets girl escorted out in cuffs

Marche Taylor’s prom night experience wasn’t quite the norm. That’s because a night of dancing and hanging out with friends ended in a confrontation with school officials over her choice of apparel.

When will people stop using the “its no more revealing than a bikini” excuse? The amount of skin showing is way not the point, but even if it was – bikini’s are not appropriate attire for proms. This, as you can see is basically some silk ribbon crisscrossed over the boobs with a separate skirt with a prince Kuzco tail.

She was taken from her prom in handcuffs because she had no underwear on, which, if you look at the material the “dress” is made out of, pretty much meant she was naked with gold layered over boobs.

Myea… look at that picture to the right. That’s some definite see through, slash nipple action.

Too bad we don’t get to see her date if she had one.

The real sad part of the video is not that she tried to go to prom looking like a prostitute, but that in a head cropped shot of her, she looks rather elegant and pretty… and then she speaks. and the public school system strikes again. axin questions an evereythen. unfortunate 🙁

Holly Madisons perpetual disappointment at never becoming Hefners bride continues

Poor Holly Madison has been extremely open to friends and even non-friends that she wants to marry Hugh Hefner ever since they started “dating” in 2001. I have 2 friends that have casually spoken with her at the Playboy mansion on various occasions and both told me that she mentioned to them how bad she would like to get married and that she wants Hef to be the groom. But it’s not just candid tipoff’s – she tells print and television media the same thing all the time and everyone just seems to say “myea, that’s nice babe, sure”, and move on. Now this latest lament from Holly:

“We are no closer to getting married than we were years ago,” a dejected Holly told Tarts at last week’s “Playmate of the Year” luncheon held at the iconic Mansion. “It’s like a car stalled at the side of the road.”

While the 28-year-old glamour girl may still be holding out for a miraculous jump-start, she found it difficult to deal with her boyfriend’s thoughts on the situation as she sadly turned away while he spoke.

Everyone knows it aint gonne happen. She’s 28 and Hef is 82. What, the eff would he want with making their relationship legal and giving away half his empire to some chick that will bang him regardless? Alas, she doesn’t seem to get it… Hef responded:

“I love Holly very much and I think we’re going to be together the rest of my life,” Hef said. “But marriage isn’t part of my puzzle. It’s not a personal thing; I just haven’t had much luck with marriages.”
