By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsThe mama grizzly's mad. In a weekend interview on Fox News, Sarah Palin finally responded to comedian Kathy Griffin, who has mined the Palin family for material since they landed on the national stage in 2008. Griffin is preparing for an upcoming guest spot on "Glee," in a role that's reportedly based loosely on Palin. The former governor's take? "She's a 50-year-old adult bully," Palin said, "kind of a has-been comedienne." Ouch. Watch: And, in case you missed any of the cracks, here's a brief rundown of Griffin's jokes at the Palin family's expense. 1. On owing Sarah Palin "a muffin ...
Mike Huckabee Disses Natalie Portman; Why Not Bristol Palin? Twitter Asks
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsNot so fast, Mike Huckabee. The former Arkansas governor is taking some serious heat for his comments on Monday criticizing Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman for being unmarried and pregnant. "People see a Natalie Portman who boasts, 'We're not married, but we're having these children, and they're doing just fine.' I think it gives a distorted image," Huckabee told conservative radio host Michael Medved. "It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of-wedlock children." The folks on Twitter seem to think that Huckabee forgot another out-of-wedlock pregnancy ...

It will be published by William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins.

No Christine O'Donnell, No Politicians on Next 'Dancing With the Stars'
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyFormer Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell has turned down an invitation to be on "Dancing With the Stars" after teasing fans with the prospect last week. "I'm honored to have been invited to participate in one of the few uplifting TV shows out there," O'Donnell said in a statement on her website. "The physical challenge made it all the more appealing. Meeting challenges head-on makes us stronger. Yet, for now, I have another challenge before me; to complete a book that tells the story of the 2010 election cycle with the dignity and respect it deserves." The move comes as a bit of ...
Will 'Dancing With the Stars' Land Christine O'Donnell?
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyWhether it's Christine O'Donnell, Todd Palin, Eliot Spitzer or Tipper Gore, "Dancing With the Stars" needs a politician when the season 12 lineup is announced Monday night. Why do they need a politician? Well, look at the popularity boost the show got last fall when a politician's daughter -- Bristol Palin -- made it to the finals of the show. Many quibbled with the selection -- what made Bristol a star? Her claim to fame was as an unmarried, teenage parent whose mother, Sarah Palin, is the former governor of Alaska and the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee. She wasn't the greatest dancer, ...

By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsFrom the tea party to reality TV? Politician Christine O'Donnell is considering an offer to appear on the upcoming season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." With a tough decision to make, O'Donnell did the practical thing: She turned to her Facebook page to get advice from her fans. "Although I am utterly flattered, my initial thought was to decline, as 2 year old nephew has more rhythm than me, and my two left feet!!" she posted. Rhythm problems aside, O'Donnell is working on a book, which she says takes priority over the paso doble. O'Donnell asked her Facebook fans whether they think she ...

By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyChristine O'Donnell didn't make it as a conservative, tea party-backed Senate candidate in Delaware. But can she cut the rug on "Dancing With the Stars"?

Rebellious Arizona -- the Perfect Venue for Next Week's Tea Party Summit
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyArizona -- with its battles over immigration and its liberal gun laws -- has become something of a poster child for the anti-government movement. Which is why the Tea Party Patriots, the largest tea party group in the country, will hold their American Policy Summit at the Phoenix Convention Center Feb. 25-27. The Tea Party Patriots, which claim more than 3,000 locally organized chapters and more than 15 million supporters nationwide, state on their summit website that they picked Phoenix because the state's tea party invited them and also to support Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's immigration ...
