Sarah Palin Uses Sexual Metaphors in Blasting Mainstream Media
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailySarah Palin manages to make headlines even when she's trying to refute -- or should we say "refudiate"? -- someone else's. The former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate used sexual metaphors Wednesday as she slammed mainstream media reporters for using anonymous sources, CNN reports. "Those who are impotent and limp and gutless and they go on their anonymous -- sources that are anonymous -- and impotent, limp and gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them as being factual references," Palin said on Sean Hannity's radio program. "It just slays me because it's so ...
Vanity Fair's March Cover: What Would Richard Pryor Say?
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyDid Vanity Fair editors think about Richard Pryor when they planned their March cover? The late comedian once observed that the sci-fi film, "Logan's Run," was loaded with cultural subtext because blacks weren't in it. The futuristic world of the 23rd century was depicted as for whites-only, and Pryor, wielding the n-word like a knife, said: They had a movie of the future called "Logan's Run." There ain't no n-- in it.I said, "Well, white folks ain't planning for us to be here . . ." If Pryor were still alive, what would trigger his mockery? Vanity Fair's February cover featuring former golden ...
Game On: Tiger Gets Boost From a Big Sponsor
By David Knowles - AOL News(Jan. 5) -- In the wake of revelations about his personal life, Tiger Woods has lost corporate sponsors, friends and fans. But not everyone has abandoned the golfing prodigy. EA Sports announced today that it will release a new video game this month titled Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online. As the company's president, Peter Moore, told The Associated Press, the reason EA Sports remains bullish on Woods is that he is "still one of the greatest athletes in history." EA Sports has also made an estimated $670 million from Woods-related games, the AP reported. Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair/AP Tiger ...
Levi Johnston and Sarah Palin: Peas in a Pod?
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyBonnie, it's true that Levi Johnston has plenty of unflattering things to say about Sarah Palin in his foray into magazine journalism with Vanity Fair. But, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then she shouldn't feel too bad, because Johnston seems to be trying his hardest to follow her trajectory. In between a series of not-so-shocking revelations designed to keep people reading (Todd Palin slept on the couch! Meghan McCain cursed at a hair stylist!) Johnston complains about Palin's ambition, or rather, her lack of it, saying, "She started talking about how nice it would be to ...
Levi Johnston's Sad, Tacky Tell-All
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyI could not agree more with Mary that the 2004 vice presidential candidate from North Carolina hit a new high on the tackiness meter with the tidbit that he and mistress Rielle Hunter wiled away their romantic moments planning their wedding (with entertainment by the Dave Matthews Band no less), while his terminally ill spouse was using her limited energy to get him elected in 2008. Speaking of vice presidential candidates, with the October issue of Vanity Fair now on newsstands, the article, " Me and Mrs. Palin, by Levi Johnston," Sarah's erstwhile son-in-law proves there is a lot of ...
Levi Johnston: Palin Planned 'Secret' Adoption
By David Sessions - Politics DailyIn an interview in the October issue of Vanity Fair, which hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles Wednesday, Levi Johnston continues to dish on his time living with Sarah Palin's family and dating her daughter, Bristol. Amidst photos of himself posed on New York City balconies, Johnston criticizes the Palins' parenting and says Bristol's pregnancy made Sarah nervous about what the untimely grandchild would do to her political career. ...
Palin E-Mails Suggest Tension With McCain Staffers
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIn the wake of Vanity Fair's scathing exposé detailing tensions between Sarah Palin and many former staffers to John McCain during the '08 presidential campaign, CBS News has obtained an e-mail exchange between Palin and high-level McCain advisers reinforcing the perception that the relationship was anything but harmonious. The subject of the e-mails was the then-growing controversy about whether Palin's husband, Todd, had been a member of the Alaska Independence Party, a group that advocated the state's secession from the union. More broadly, the e-mail chain highlights the tension between ...
Vanity Fair's Palin Piece Underscores Republican Split
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyRepublican infighting over the recent trashing of Sarah Palin in Vanity Fair is bringing to the surface the long-bubbling conservative dislike of moderate "maverick" John McCain. Once McCain won the presidential nomination last year, most conservative Republicans supported him because he was better than the alternative, Barack Obama. Support on the right for McCain became more enthusiastic when he chose Sarah Palin -- a true conservative -- as his running mate. ...
Sarah Palin and the Political Moms
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyLike many of you, I read Vanity Fair's profile on Sarah Palin Tuesday -- and Todd Purdum's profile is fascinating if for no other reason than its look at the slash-and-burn defense tactics of the Alaskan governor's shrinking inner circle. The line that gave me pause, though, was the same one that caught Jill and Bonnie: "She is by far the best-looking woman ever to rise to such heights in national politics, the first indisputably fertile female to dare to dance with the big dogs." The first indisputably fertile female. My first thought was thank God that I missed the disputes on the fertility ...
Nice Work on Palin From Vanity Fair's Resident Cartoonist
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyWoman Up's beach reading recommendation for Independence Day weekend is the August issue of Vanity Fair, in particular Todd S. Purdum's devastating portrait of the most media-savvy figure on the GOP bench. Sarah Palin may have been the wrong choice to round out Sen. John McCain's presidential ticket (nicknamed "Little Shop of Horrors" by an unidentified "longtime McCain friend and frequent companion"). ...
