In DC, Everything Is 'Robust' Even When It Isn't
By Laura Parker - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- The economy may be anemic and federal spending slashed, but inside the Beltway, the word these days for all things in the era of austerity seems to be robust. Call it subliminal messaging, but the word that everyone would like to attach to the phrase "economic recovery" is instead hitched to everything but. It describes the Treasury Department's effort to repair its image, the Pentagon's investigation of WikiLeaks. Never mind that politicians use robust when the reality is the opposite. The space shuttle is being mothballed, but Florida Sen. Bill Nelson talks about the robust ...
Sarah Palin Family Jokes; 7 Kathy Griffin Punch Lines [VIDEOS]
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 ...
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, ...
Joe McGinniss Engages Sarah Palin Via Twitter as Manuscript Controversy Plays Out
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySarah Palin's cybermessenger, Rebecca Mansour, likes to tweet. In doing so lately, she's contributed to a new storyline involving her boss and two writers intent upon telling tales about her. On Feb. 11, she tweeted Joe McGinniss, the author who for a time lived next door to Palin's Alaska home to work on a book about the 2008 vice presidential candidate. The tweet said: "@joemcginniss have you taken to cyber stalking now that you're no longer living next door to @SarahPalinUSA? #creepy" Earlier that same day, McGinniss had responded to one of Mansour's tweets that said "Praying for the ...
Shailey Tripp, Todd Palin, the National Enquirer and a Journalistic Conundrum
By David Knowles - AOL NewsHave you heard the news reports? Todd Palin, the husband of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is said to have been caught having an affair with Shailey Tripp, a 36-year-old massage therapist turned prostitution house madam. The problem with the allegations? They come to the world via the National Enquirer. Yes, that would be the same tabloid that first brought the world news of John Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter, as well as photos of Edwards holding his love child. That coverage even landed the paper, which often pays its sources for information, a Pulitzer Prize nomination. Here, then, ...
Welcome, 2011: Sarah Palin and Julian Assange on the Radar Screen
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyReady or not, 2011 is here. Consider some of these upcoming historic milestones as the new year arrives. 2011 marks the 150th anniversary of Jefferson Davis becoming president of the Confederacy, the 70th anniversary of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech (actually, his 1941 State of the Union address), the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's first presidential news conference -- and the first ever to be broadcast live on television), and 25 years since the space shuttle Challenger disaster. But 2011 will have its own special history, and here are some of the events that will ...
Sarah Palin, in Haiti, Urges Americans 'Not to Forget' Stricken Nation
By Tom Kavanagh - Politics DailySarah Palin urged Americans "not to forget Haiti" as she completed a brief visit to the earthquake- and poverty-ravaged nation on Sunday. "I know that there's been some discussion of U.S. aid perhaps being lifted from this area," she said. "Again -- not to get political -- but if some of the politicians would come here and see the conditions, perhaps they would see a need for, say, a military airlift to come bring supplies that are so needed here." Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of a Senate subcommittee that oversees appropriations for Haiti, recently called for the suspension of ...
WikiLeaks Supporters Launch Cyber-Attack on Sarah Palin
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailySarah Palin found herself among those targeted Wednesday by backers of WikiLeaks, when her website and personal credit card information were hacked, ABC News reported. British members of "Operation Payback" -- supporters of WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange -- reportedly tried to shut down SarahPAC.com, the site of Palin's political action committee, and disrupted Sarah and Todd Palin's credit card accounts. Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, has been vocal in her criticisms of the release by WikiLeaks of hundreds of thousands of sensitive diplomatic and military ...
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 ...
Critics: Reality Show Is Great for Palin, Not Viewers
By Mara Gay - AOL News
(Nov. 10) -- She may cozy up to grizzlies in the wild, but Sarah Palin is no Snooki. She could be, critics say, but her new reality show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," just isn't as compelling as the maniacally watchable woman herself, a personality Americans are desperate to know. After previewing clips from the eight-week special, set to air on TLC at 10 p.m. Sunday, most critics are disappointed. They say the footage of the former Alaska governor scaling peaks with her husband, Todd, and icing cupcakes with her youngest daughter is great for the Palin brand but too scripted and polished to be ...
