Australian News Corp. Columnist Attacks ‘Mentally Handicapped,’ ‘Retarded’ On Twitter

Joe Hillebrand, a columnist for Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. in Australia, has come under fire for a series of tweets that mock the mentally handicapped, the "retarded," the Irish, and blondes. It all started with a tweet about airport personnel, but Hillebrand's reaction to criticism of his remark escalated into a full-on...

Tom Brady’s Wife Caught Cursing, Blaming Patriots Receivers For Super Bowl Loss

It's the day after Super Bowl Sunday, so the media is busy wringing every last drop of hype out of its annual High Holy Day, dissecting ads, gasping at MIA's middle finger and Madonna's near-faceplant, and this: Gisele Bundchen, wife of losing Patriots QB Tom Brady, was caught on tape saying, through...

Sweet Granchild O’ Mine: Axl Rose Is 50

In case watching 53 year-old Madonna gyrate her way through a high-octane Super Bowl halftime show last night had you feeling not-so-bad about your own advancing years, Monday morning brings the re-sobering news that Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose is 50 years old today.

Contraceptive Mandate Is Not About Religious Liberty, It’s About Female Liberty

On Wednesday evening's Hardball, host Chris Matthews convened an infuriatingly one-sided panel to discuss the Obama administration's recent decision not to permit an exemption for some religious employers to the contraception mandate. The Washington Post's Melinda Henneberger and Melissa Rogers of the Brookings Institution took turns trashing the decision, and no one spoke a...

Michelle Obama On Mitt Romney’s Singing: ‘It’s A Beautiful Song’

On Tuesday night's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, First Lady Michelle Obama snuck in a stealth shot at former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's singing skills.

RNC Chair Reince Priebus Tries Soledad O’Brien’s Patience On CNN’s Starting Point

In an appearance on CNN's Starting Point Wednesday morning, RNC chairman Reince Priebus tried out a little condescension and confrontation on host Soledad O'Brien, and was met with curt impatience.

Rocky Road: Newt Gingrich Sued For Using ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ On Campaign Trail

Risin' up, straight to the...courts? CBS news is reporting that former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is being sued for using anthemic Rocky III theme Eye of the Tiger at campaign events for the past few years. While the suit is news, I'm still trying to wrap my head around a guy...

American I-Dull: Mitt Romney Sings America The Beautiful For Florida Crowd

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has made America The Beautiful a go-to rhetorical aid in his presidential campaign for some time now (in Iowa, he joked repeatedly that “corn counts as an amber wave of grain), but eschewed actual crooning on the stump. Perhaps emboldened by President Obama‘s knockout Apollo Theater performance, Romney remedied that...

Fox News’ Alan Colmes Calls Out Lie Of The Year On President Obama And Israel

On Friday afternoon's America Live, Fox News contributor Alan Colmes beat back a tide of anti-Obama talking points about the President and Israel. Most importantly, he refuted 2011's real Lie of the Year (in my book), one that was referenced by presidential candidate Mitt Romney at last night's debate, but has also been spread...
