Victoria Jackson's CPAC Comments and 4 More Controversial Moments From the 'SNL' Star [VIDEOS]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsVictoria Jackson sure loves to talk about politics. The former "Saturday Night Live" star joined a panel called "Getting Started in Hollywood" at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. While some panel members, including Variety deputy editor Ted Johnson, doubted there was a widespread movement to suppress conservatives in Hollywood, Jackson disagreed: "They just don't dislike Christians, they hate God," said Jackson, who later added, "You don't know how liberal it is, even the Christians are communist. ... Do you see me on TV? No. Do you see me in movies? ...
Year in Review: 13 Most Memorable Political Quotes of 2010
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyThe year now coming to a close was a rewarding one for collectors of political quotations. This is not the same thing as saying that most memorable lines of 2010 were uplifting. Many of the utterances that entered the lexicon were unrefined, simplistic or just plain mean. Women in the political arena were insulted and put upon, often by other women -- and sometimes by themselves. And the most inspiring campaign speech was given by a cable television comedian. It was that kind of year. Typically, many of the quotes we think we remember – "don't touch my junk," for example – were ...
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 ...
Reinstated Keith Olbermann Apologizes
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Nov. 8) -- What would Walter Cronkite think? Today, just three days after NBC News suspended Keith Olbermann, the hybrid commentator/news anchor host of "Countdown," for violating the network's policy forbidding journalists from making political contributions to candidates without getting prior approval of network officials, he apologized to viewers in a letter. "You should know that I mistakenly violated an inconsistently applied rule -- which I previously knew nothing about -- that pertains to the process by which such political contributions are approved by NBC," Olbermann said in the ...
Mean Girl Alert: Is Meghan McCain Jealous of Bristol Palin?
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyWith all she had to keep track of, still kicking "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Bristol Palin, the 20-year-old daughter of GOP 2012 presidential nopeful Sarah Palin, forgot to send her absentee ballot back to Alaska in time for Tuesday's election. With characteristic candor, she incautiously admitted the oversight when asked by a celebrity interviewer about her vote. (Suggestion for SarahPAC: Not everyone is as intuitively magnetic as your principal -- spend some of those $ millions you've been raising getting media training for the rest of the Palin family.) Bristol's unguarded ...
Meghan McCain's Breasts Back in the Spotlight After O'Donnell Attack
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 18) -- The Delaware Senate race just got a whole lot, well, racier. Almost one year to the date that Meghan McCain roiled the Internet by posting a picture of herself on her Twitter page that prominently displayed her ample bosom, the 25-year-old daughter of Sen. John McCain posted a message on the microblogging site that decidedly returned the attention of her 92,000 followers to that part of her body once more. .bbpBox27772593786 {background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/128421426/133672276.jpg) #000000;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px ...
O'Donnell Camp Responds to Meghan McCain's 'Nutjob' Comment
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyOn ABC's "This Week," Meghan McCain called Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell a "nutjob." Christine O'Donnell's campaign just emailed me the following response from campaign manager Matthew Moran: Christine overwhelmingly won her primary battle against the establishment candidate, so Ms. McCain's vast experience in politics and running for office probably won't influence many Delawareans of any age to listen to her latest rant. Her parents are truly a class act, and am certain they brought her up to be more respectful of a possible future colleague. As Christine rises in the ...
Meghan McCain: Christine O'Donnell Is a 'Nutjob'
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyMeghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, said Sunday that Christine O'Donnell, the Tea Party star who won the Delaware GOP Senate nomination, is a "nutjob" who is "making a mockery of running for public office." "I speak as a 26-year-old woman," McCain said on ABC's "This Week." "And my problem is that, no matter what, Christine O'Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office. She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business. And what that sends to my generation is, one day, you can just wake up and run for Senate, no matter how [much] lack of experience you ...
Is the GOP in the Closet About Backing Gay Rights?
By Andrea Stone - AOL News
WASHINGTON (Oct. 13) -- A federal judge's order to halt enforcement of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy was hailed by gay activists as a landmark ruling in their struggle to expand their rights. But something else made the case significant: The group that filed the lawsuit was the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay advocacy organization. And the policy U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips ruled unconstitutional? It was the brainchild of the Democratic president, Bill Clinton, who nominated her. Seventeen years after Clinton hashed out a compromise with conservatives that has led to ...
Would You Watch 'The Meghan McCain Show'?
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailySince the release of her new book, "Dirty Sexy Politics," Meghan McCain has made the rounds on TV. She was on "Good Morning America," "The View," "The Tonight Show," and the "O'Reilly Factor" -- just to name a few. But now, it appears McCain may be working on a deal that would land the famous daughter of Senator John McCain her own television show. At least, that's what she's hinting at. According to a New York Times column from Friday, McCain, ... confided that she was in the "very, very baby stages of some television stuff, just development." She quickly added, "I would never do a ...
