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, ...
'Parker Spitzer' TV Talk Show Breaks Up: She Goes, He Stays
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK – Kathleen Parker, a prominent political commentator, is leaving CNN's "Parker Spitzer," the much-ballyhooed prime-time talk show she co-hosted with Eliot Spitzer, the formerly disgraced governor of New York. Parker, 58, a Pulitzer Prize-winning opinion writer, said in a statement Friday night, "I have decided to return to a schedule that will allow me to focus more on my syndicated newspaper column and other writings." Parker writes a politically moderate op-ed column for The Washington Post that is syndicated nationally. Related Stories 'Parker ...
Kathleen Parker Leaving CNN Show With Spitzer
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- CNN's prime-time talk show "Parker/Spitzer" is no more with the departure of Kathleen Parker. Her partner, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, will remain in the time slot in a new show called "In the Arena," working with E.D. Hill, Will Cain and others. CNN described Parker's exit as a mutual decision. The show that matched the liberal former governor and conservative syndicated columnist debuted last fall and started slowly in the ratings. Parker said that she wanted to concentrate on her writing and that "with the show moving in a new direction, it was time to move on. ...
'Parker/Spitzer,' E.D. Hill and Our Toxic Rhetoric: Is 'Rudeness Rewarded' CNN's Motto?
By Melinda Henneberger - Politics DailyThis New York Post story about how Kathleen Parker is soon to be dumped from CNN's "Parker/Spitzer" may or may not be right. And it may or may not have come straight from...Eliot Spitzer, even if it does put me in mind me of all those gossip items Donald Trump used to hand-plant in the New York tabs about the various models who were supposedly chasing him. (According to show "insiders," the producers of "Parker/Spitzer" just "love the job Spitzer has been doing," are "standing behind Eliot," and "really like him," too.) But if there's any truth at all to rumors that the network may replace ...
Darrell Issa, House Oversight Chief, Could Do Well by Doing Good
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyRep. Darrell Issa, the incoming leader of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has generated much attention and speculation lately about his effort to hunt down "job killing" federal regulations. While Democrats are hoping to cast the California Republican as a hyperpartisan committee chairman set on politically motivated "witch hunts," Issa could surprise them. He is well positioned to do more than generate publicity; he could reveal real examples of waste and malfeasance. Based on Issa's comments last October -- when he said President Obama "has been one of the most ...
Opinion: How About Eliot Spitzer for President?
By David Fagin - AOL News(Dec. 18) -- I finally got around to watching "Client 9 -- The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer," the documentary about the defrocked New York governor by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney. Like many, I assumed going in that the film was going to be a straight narrative, without any input from the Spitzer. Unlike many, I wasn't entirely surprised to see Spitzer himself facing the camera, talking openly about his downfall. Whatever you say about Eliot Spitzer, one thing is for certain: The man has chutzpah. As New York's attorney general, he went after the centuries-old boys' club that said the ...
Will Durst: My Top 10 Comedic Stories of the Decade
By Will Durst - AOL News(Dec. 17) -- Believe it or not, an entire decade has passed since the turn of the millennium. One hundred twenty months. One tenth of a century. More than 3,600 days. How did that happen? It's harder to comprehend than a faded Kazakhstani street sign tagged by Mongolian graffiti. As we are painfully aware, much ugly stuff occurred during the decade, but what with all the mayhem and turmoil, you might think nothing worth laughing about went down. You'd be wrong. I know. I know. I know. "Not another top 10 list. " Yes. Another top 10 list. Hey, how many ends of the decade does one get in a ...
Todd Palin on DWTS? How About 'Dancing With the Pols'?
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailySo "Dancing With the Stars" is flirting with Todd Palin, after daughter Bristol waltzed her way to the finals and created a voting brouhaha that resulted in record ratings. Sarah Palin -- former Alaska governor, 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, wife of Todd, mom of Bristol -- discounted reports from our sister site, Popeater.com, that she encouraged DWTS producers to include failed Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell in the show's next season. Certainly, Bristol put the politics in DWTS. So clearly, more politicians mean higher ratings. And who needs stars? Here's ...
Eliot Spitzer, Client 9: Doomed by the 'Lucky Sperm Club'?
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyIn an interview early in Alex Gibney's recently released political documentary, "Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer," a member of Spitzer's inner circle tells Gibney that the former New York governor and disgraced Democrat hails from "the Lucky Sperm Club." (Poor Spitzer can never completely redirect his image away from lurid sexual tawdriness. His cooperation with film producers about the scandal merely moves it to the background.) The film tracks the period between Spitzer's successful campaign for governor in 2006 through the Emperors' Club VIP prostitution ring bust in 2008 (but ...
'Parker Spitzer' TV Talk Show Marriage Is on the Rocks
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK -- The much-ballyhooed CNN prime-time talk show starring Eliot Spitzer, the formerly disgraced governor of New York, and the brainy political writer Kathleen Parker has hit bottom. Parker, cast in the stand-by-her-man role on the show, occasionally throwing in a word or two, is fed up playing second fiddle to the motor-mouth Spitzer, who sucks up all the air during the 8 p.m. Eastern "Parker Spitzer" hour, the New York Post reported Wednesday, quoting unidentified sources. Word has spread in the gossip media that Parker, 58, a Pulitzer Prize winner, walked off the set during a ...
