Sarah Palin...Kingmaker or troublemaker? New Hampshire stomp well-received!

Was it a coincidence that Sarah Palin stomped in New Hampshire today on the heels of the intriguing news that Mitt Romney (Mr. Megabucks) is making a bid for President in the upcoming election?

"No way," according to the pundits!

In fact, in view of the great reception Ms. Palin received today with her horse & pony show back east, political analysts are already speculating that the former Ice Queen from Alaska is currently testing the waters to fathom whether her growing popularity is sufficient to springboard her into the spotlight once again.

In a nutshell?

Although Palin is adamant that she is just a "voice" right now, articulating the rage of the American people, supporters on the sidelines are hinting that the feisty upstart will - most assuredly - take a run at the White House once again.

All the other scuttlebutt is simply a smokescreen!

But, she's a one-trick pony, in the final analysis.

At this juncture, it is a given, that the scandal-ridden Palin is either Kingmaker or troublemaker.

"Anyone expecting to run on the ticket will need a Palin endorsement," some are predicting on the highways and broadcast airwaves of the Nation.

The truth of the matter?

If Ms. Palin runs for President, it is doubtful she will win.

Too much baggage, in my opinion!

In her heart-of-heart she knows that!

The best Palin can hope for is place in the sun next to the newly-anointed "King".

Later!

 Will Romney get thumbs up from Sarah Palin?

Sarah Palin..."Blind Allegiance" expose! Queen of Tea Party potboiler!

Between the scandal sheets!



Poor Sarah Palin!

The former John McCain running mate - who ran against Obama's ticket in the last Presidential race - was pretty adept at keeping her innermost scandalous secrets in the closet.

And, with a slick posse of handlers on hand along the campaign trail daily, it was pretty much a snap for the charismatic upstart to prevent damaging gossip from floating out onto the political terrain and spewing over the vicious blogosphere where nasty pundits were laying in wait hungry for the the dirt.

Notwithstanding, staunch strident supporters were always at-the-ready - quick-as-a-wink- to leap into action and extinguish fires when they flared up now and then.

But, with a tell-all expose about to be published (and released) on May 24th, it appears that Sarah's fifteen glorious minutes in the sun are about to be eclipsed by the dark musings of Frank Bailey and a pack of wolves howling at the moon.

Go, figure!

Bailey is a former aide, who lived it up with Palin, so he could write it all down for posterity.

Now, his detailed chilling side of things is about to be released under the auspices of "Howard Books".

Due out on May 24th, the potboiler titled - "Blind Allegiance" - is expected to toss a searing spotlight on the Queen of the Tea Party circuit - and ultimately - knock the folksey Alaskan flat on her Republican ass.

Curiously, Ken Morris (a published author) and a high-profile blogger (Jeannie Devon) collaborated with Bailey on the much-anticipated page-turner.

Not surprising, eh?

When there are skeletons in the closet, a ghost whisperer or two, to shake out the cobwebs of intrigue!

Just betch, it's on the bestseller list, first week out on the shelves!

2012 U.S. Elections...Mexicans may swing votes in Florida! Politicians to grovel?

United States of Mexicana

Sarah Palin scopes polling stations!

Americans across the country sat bolt upright in their armchairs this past week when a late-night news broadcast reported that in a scant few years - the Latino population in the United States - has tripled from 15 million to 50 million strong!

A smartly-dress political pundit proceeded to underscore that because of this immigrant trend, the chips may be stacked against potential candidates who don't kow-tow to the Mexican community's demands in Florida, for example, in the upcoming election in 2012.

Corrupt politicians - with connections in high places (think along the lines of  George W. Bush cronies) - aren't necessarily going to be able to snatch up the ticket without a tough fight in the final analysis.

If a politician wants to take the State (and bask in the glow of a victory) - whether Democrat or Republican - he (or she) is going to have to appeal to that sector of the community apparently.

Is President Obama above a little schmoozing, or does he also intend to reach out to the immigrants and an obvious force in the United States that is to reckon with now?

Sarah Palin...Judge orders injunction against Gawker Media! Book Excerpts a no-no!

No sneak previews of Sarah Palin's new book - America By Heart - if the feisty "Alaska" reality star has any say in it!

When Palin's handlers spied unauthorized excerpts of the her latest offering on a Gawker Media web site at the tail-end of this week, they were quick to petition the Court for a temporary restraining order to halt the material from being reviewed by curiosity-seekers on the Internet (sans pay).

U.S. Distict Judge Thomas P. Greisa found merit in the pleadings submitted to the bench and issued an injunction after Palin's publisher (HarperColins) filed a lawsuit for damages in Federal District Court.

In response - Gawker staffers countered that there was no wrongdoing on their part - pursuant to applicable fair use clauses under U.S. Copyright Law.

Notwithstanding, the Palin material went "poof" (disappeared from the site) for some inexplicable reason.

(just betcha!)

Ed Sullivan...laughing in the grave! Blog snafus keep me on toes!

This morning I awoke suddenly - and sat bolt upright in my bed - with one thought on my mind.

Ooops!

Something must be up at the old blog!

Whenever I get a "psychic nudge" from the great beyond - it usually means that there has been a screw-up at the web site - so I am inclined to get on the fast track and figure out where!

I got an inkling that it was something to do with that regular "Dancing with the Stars" upstart - Bristol Palin - who I penned a post on last night before putting the blog to bed for the day.

Post: 11/19/10

http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2010/11/dancing-with-starscrystal-palin-scandal.html

Uh-huh!

After scanning the article this morning, it popped right out at me!

Bristol was mistakenly identified as "Crystal" in reference to her appearance on the top-rated weekly Television show.

After reviewing the edits this morning - it became abundantly clear - that "spell check" software inadvertently changed her name to "Crystal" right under my nose.

Go figure!

What kind of a Christian name is "Bristol" anyhow???

Count on some "loser" like Sarah Palin to curse her daughter with a moniker like that, eh?

The whole incident reminded me of Ed Sullivan!

Mr. Sullivan - the popular host of the Sunday Night Variety Show that aired on the old boob tube for years - was known to often trip-up when it came to the names of his guests.

Indeed, he often got 'em wrong, mispronounced the little suckers, and what-have-you!

Over the years, it was part 'n parcel, of the legend's overall charm!

Notwithstanding - it should be noted that newspapers and tabloid gossip rags - are often forced to follow up with "corrections" in their publications, too.

In spite of a posse of fact-checkers and eagle-eyed editors at their constant disposal - more-often-than-not - members of the illustrious press bound to make mistakes along the way.

Especially when you consider - that there are a bevy of B-list players parading across the show-biz terrain daily these days - that are difficult to keep track of.

They are hardly worth the effort, I dare say!

In my own instant case, I laugh it off.

A handful of these personalities are so low in stature in the show-biz arena - that they don't warrant closer scruitny - in my estimation.

They (like Bristol Palin) are just a stone's throw away from being has-been's, after all.

The fall-out yesterday did play-out to my advantage, though.

Indeed!

The hits zoomed into the stratrosphere as word-of-mouth spread that Bristol had been mistakenly referred to as "Crystal" in the scandalous post on "The Tattler" and elsewhere on the Internet.

What an insult to the little tart, eh?

I can live with that!

On the other hand - I never claimed to be perfect - for that matter.

If I was, I'd be on the "other side", free from the shackles that currently bind me to this mortal coil!

The truth will set 'ya free!

You betcha.

Dancing with Stars...Bristol Palin scandal! Fans irate over ballot-stuffing!

 

In recent weeks, in spite of less-than-stellar dance routines, Bristol Palin has managed to finesse her way to the top of the "Dancing with the Stars" hopeful heap much to the chagrin of  hateful detractors sharpening their daggers on the sidelines.

What accounts for this remarkable phenomenon?

Tea Party Republicans have allegedly hurt the integrity of the ballot-box at the ABC website - by casting excessive double (and maybe triple votes) on her behalf - according to angry viewers who are livid at the prospect of the tarted-up little tramp winning the coveted glitter ball.

Indeed!

On a couple of occasions when I tuned in to catch the top-rated glitzy entertainment bill-of-fare - I couldn't help but notice that the plump homely-looking contestant - with no star quality to speak of - was a mediocre dancer at best!.

Is dirty politics at the crux of it?

Jet Blue...$119.00 sale! Fly frigid skies with Sarah Palin!

Jet Blue officials have announced they'll be ceremoniously launching flights into Sarah Palin's frigid skies - auspicious by Hollywood standards - starting May 26th (2011).

As Ms. Palin throws-open her scandalous folksy back-woods-door to white trailer trash around the country - by virtue of a reality TV vehicle fathomed up by demon meister Mark Burnett - Jet Blue has opted to jump into the eye-of-the-icy-storm - too - with its bid to schedule routes to the great White North.

Now, Palin fans - hooked on the tawdry low-brow soap that is her scripted scatter-brained life - will probably venture forth on a tour under the Northern Lights (even plunk down some cash to go ice fishing, perhaps).

To rustle up interest in the spring thaw, Jet Blue is having a seat sale featuring one-way flights, for a paltry $119.00 a pop.

The limited offer takes off tomorrow/

I expect passengers will be sipping on tea tea - in flight - to keep their innards warm (though hot toddies sound pretty awesome to moi).

Ironically,  the Jet Blue birds jets out of Long Beach (where the Queen Mary Royally rests in harbour now) to Alaska where another Queen (of the Tea Party variety) holds court in the land of the Eskimo and big game hunting!

Although adventurers may have to pay through the nose, die-hard fans of the political upstart, will probably cough up the dough pronto.

You only live once, eh? 

I expect there will be tours of the middle school she romanced the1st stud at, an up-close peak at the stage where she grabbed for the brass ring at an annual Beauty Pageant, in addition to action-packed sled treks through the winter wonderland.

To use one of her own best phrases, you betcha!

The Republican Tea Party...a dismal turn-out in San Francisco! Movement on ice...

Sarah Palin has a cowboy mentality @ heart!

The Tea Party's head honchos were anticipating a huge turn-out in San Francisco this past weekend.

Instead of the thousands of innocent lambs expected to meekly show up for slaughter only a couple-of-hundred curious locals drifted into a near-empty foot-ball-sized park in the picturesque Bay area.

Embarrassing, eh?

Had the tea totlers known voter support  had cooled somewhat - and that potential swing ballotters were  inclined to stay away or attend other more entertaining cultural events around town - maybe they would have chosen a venue that was more appropriate - and in particular - capable of at least visually cloaking the awful truth.

The Repupublican Tea Party has lost  steam.

And, he shine is off the once-gleaming "tea" service, too.

What happened?

It appears that the rag-tag gang of upstarts may be capable of boosting the morale of the republicans, but pundits are scratching their noggins and wondering aloud, what good is that?

The tea party has transformed - rolled over, if you will - and become a-bit-of a paper tiger.

Their roar can be heard, but it is doubtful that they will have enough influence to steer voters in their direction.

An old truism applies here:

"You can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink."

Even Sarah Palin - who attracted crowds on a novelty basis once - is facing a backlash now in the cold hard light of day.

She's a hoot to egg on, but not a candidate worthy of their vote.

After all, Palin  can't serve up any change, fresh leadership, or what-have-you.

A reality check, perhaps.

What America needs is a bright star with the wherewithall to move the country in a spanking-new direction.

In the final analysis - Palin and her hapless cronies - just can't cut it.

Michelle Obama...Sarah Palin takes pot shots! 65 percent approval rate!

 

Michelle's wave of popularity

 

Michelle Obama enthusiastically hit the campaign trail this past week - and for the most part - was warmly-received by voters around the country whenever she touched-down to offer up a pep talk.

A poll - which established the gracious 1st Lady’s approval rate was up to an all-time high of sixty-five percent - inspired curious quips from media hounds on the sidelines.

“She’s a rock star,” one upbeat reporter joked on the nightly news.

Political analysts noted that Mrs. Obama’s was in an enviable position.

“Because she is not running for an office, Michelle doesn’t have to attack the opposition. Unlike candidates stumping for votes, she can rise above the fray in a dignified manner.”

That has not deterred one political opponent from bad-mouthing the 1st Lady, though.

At a rally just yesterday, former VP hopeful - Sarah Palin - was inclined to take a poke at Barack’s better half.

The folksy tea party politico revisited a touchy subject which ended up triggering a negative response from the audience.

Uh-huh.

Palin’s lament over Mrs. Obama’s previous remarks about being proud to be an “American” for the first time - which caused an uproar on the campaign trail last year - fell on deaf ears on this occasion.

Although voters forgave and moved on, Palin’s attempt to breathe life into a dead issue - flog a dead horse - didn’t bode well for her.

Boos from the audience underscored that Palin's attacks were not appreciated by many at the rally.

In fact - in a recent poll - fifty-six percent of the voters said they would not vote for any candidate that was being endorsed by Sarah Palin.

Ouch!

Meanwhile, Mrs. Obama continues to soar above Palin in popularity, for obvious reasons.

You can’t buy “class”, Sarah.

You either have it or ‘ya don’t.
 
By the way, Michelle Obama made by Best-dressed list this past year.

Newsmax...novel Webcast online gimmick! Kicks off with Sarah Palin!

It wasn't labelled spam!

But, the screaming e-mail - inviting me to participate in an unprecedented series of web discussions and debates October 12th thru November 2nd - landed with a thud just shy of it.

In bold - red, white, and blue type (a sensational attention-grabber, don't 'ya think?) - Newsmax touted an exciting landmark political event - replete with a lineup of the Nation's most respected and powerful voices.

The "Queen of the Tea Party" circuit - for example - will kick off the campaign.

Uh-huh!

Sarah Palin is slated to take center stage on October 12th and run off at-the-mouth for the much-ballyhooed campaign:

"Make America Great Again"

According to the public relations folks at Newsmax, they have taken a cue from a Palin superhero of yesteryear.

Allegedly, the event is in honor of President Ronald Reagan’s immortal 1980 pledge to restore:

“The great confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism.”

But, I have an inkling that the launch is a well-orchestrated attempt to win over the madding crowd of voters, who traverse the Internet in search of political certainty.

"As you know, Governor Palin has been a passionate and much-needed voice in these times. She has helped organize a powerful grass-roots movement toward restoring sensibility, personal freedoms, and accountability in America," a copy-writer breathlessly gushed in the press release.

And, as I humbly key in this post, it appears that the organizers at Newsmax are endeavouring to accomplish so much more than that, though.

"We are reaching out to the very folks you turn to when you want the real story on matters that affect your family, your country, and your freedoms."

Indeed!

Newsmax has arranged for a series of exclusive online interviews with high-profile citizens which will broadcast October 12th thru November 2nd.

According to insiders, Dick Morris - a top political strategist and the man "Time" magazine referred to as “the most influential private citizen in America” - has agreed to participate in this important program.

Also on the roster?

A sit-down chat with Mike Reagan, best-selling author, syndicated columnist, and eldest son of President Ronald Reagan.

Although Mike's book ("New Reagan Revolution") won't hit the presses 'til next year, he'll share his thoughts on the subject during the the Newsmax presentation next month.

Why?

To fuel up Americans, so they will hopefully recognize the need to "take America back" now!

You go, girl!

Levi Johnston...Bristol Palin to wed! Sarah's Presidential bid...

And, baby makes three!

Levi needs re-programming!

A couple of tabloid news shows had a field day last night - speculating on this 'n that - on the heels of an announcement that Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin are reuniting as lovebirds.

In fact, one insider hinted that wedding bells were about to ring out in the Great White North!

Just a short while ago (in-between stripping down to his skivvies and conducting sly cat-and-mouse interviews with trendy rags for the check-out counter at groceries around the country) Johnston was at the Tea Party Queen's throat going for the jugular.

Why the sudden change of - um - heart?

One pundit's assessment was hilarious.

"Levi is sort-of-a - "Jason Bourne" character - a loose cannon about to go off. He needed to be brought in and fully re-programmed for the next phase of the Sarah Palin agenda."

What might that be, pray tell?

A run for the Presidency, natch!

Maybe, Bristol's recenthigh-profile appearance on a popular reality soap, triggered thoughts of following in her pampered foot-steps by virtue of an in-between-the-sheets co-habitation?

Or, just maybe, Levi pined to be to the manor born when he caught site of Bristol's comfy new digs?

Except for his teen sweetheart, there haven't been many prospects for the plotting Lothario, except for a handful of offers from gay magazines - and horny dudes - anxious to get into his scandalous pants.

Some hint that he's been paid off to toe the Palin line.

Inquiring minds want to know!

Ashton Kutcher...dethroned as King of Tweets! Audience goes wild on Ellen set...

The audience reaction when he stepped on stage - wild screams and applause that pierced the ears - that it caused Kutcher to quip:

"It would be great to have sex and have someone stand up and cheer like that," he joked.

"That does't happen now," Ellen quizzed.

"No, it doesn't," he almost mumbled.

Ellen chirped that she wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of folks from her audience would be willing to do that..

Kutcher sported a fluffy cut (Justin Bieber eat your heart out), exuded a boyish charm, and was oozing with sex appeal.

At a recent chi chi function, Kutcher wailed that he was put off by Sarah Palin.

For starters, he denounced her book as unprofound. arah Palin's.

 Allegedly, the former Ice Queen,  talked non-stop about the military and the "little people" which was a turn-off to Kutcher.

Although a fan of PRICE (who performed at the same high-profile event), he also expressed his frustration over the fact the Pop Idol rarely ever performed his hits - like Purple Rain - preferring to jam with the band for two (yawn) hours.

Ellen agreed with Demi's better-half.

"They don't like to sing the hits that we love them for," Ellen astutely noted.

Mr. Kutcher looked "sharp" in a tasteful tailored jacket, paired with dress slacks, thin black tie, and pristine white shirt with correctly knotted at the collar.

"So, you're King of the tweets," marvelled Ellen amid applause from the audience.

"I got dethroned," Ashton uttered up with a tinge of frustration in his voice.

Ellen probed a little further but came up empty-handed.

"I'd rather not talk about it."

So, they didn't.

Sarah Palin...outrage over neighbour's spying prompts fence building...

 

Tough broad fights back!

Sarah Palin is on the warpath!

A relative calm prevailed over the woodsy community - where she presides in Alaska - until an unexpected stranger moved in to the cottage next door.

When the identity of the new tenant was revealed, Ms. Palin was inclined to spring into attack mode.

As it turns out, the mysterious tenant was none other than author Joe McGinniss who is currently penning an unauthorized biography on the former VP hopeful, Sarah Palin,

"He's invading my privacy," charged Palin, after capturing Mr. McGinnis on film gazing in the direction of her home.

Sarah hinted at foul play on her facebook page while  friends, fans, and supporters lent a sympathetic ear.

Mr. McGinniss's publisher assured members of the press that his client would be respectful of Ms. Palin's privacy.

When asked, a handful of the locals labeled McGinniss's behavior "creepy",

In response to the "intrusion", Palin's husband opted to go his own way to resolve the problem.

Early this morning, neighbours were greeted with a fence along the edge of the property, which has essentially blocked McGinniss's ability to "peep" in the future.

One reporter, anxious to hear the author's side of things, strolled up and knocked on the writer's door.

Although McGinniss was inclined to come to the door, he threatened in no uncertain terms that if the employess of the TV station didn't get off the property, he'd sick the local police on them.

The book is titled - "The Year of Living Dangerously - " which I find ironic since it appears to be starting out that way.

Isn't there an ordinance that restricts the height of fences in residential areas in Alaska?

Celebrity...Sarah Palin & I have something in common! Autograph, please...

Fame!

 

Now, I'm beginning to fully understand what talk show hosts mean, when they probe their celebrity guests as to whether they can still go "out".

Of course, heartthrobs like Justin Bieber get mobbed on sight, heightening the possibility that the pint-sized performer might get crushed in a madcap rush.

Even famous people - of a lesser degree of visability - encounter awkward or unsettling moments when they stray alone into the real world.

Frankly, it wasn't until I roared into Vegas a few days ago, that it dawned on me that the curse of fame had descended upon me, too.

For some inexplicable reason, as quick as a wink, my mug has become instantly recognizable among the masses which startles and amazes me.

I'm not starring in my own night-time drama, after all.

Not yet, at least!

Say, what about a reality show featuring my blog?

Wonders never cease!

But, back to my tale of debauchery and fame.

When I am sitting in traffic these days - a thousand eyes from all vantage points turn in my direction - and I am forced to twiddle my thumbs and act nonchalantly for sanity's sake until the frigging light changes!

In fast-food take-out joints, a sort-of sleeping paralysis takes hold, when  the patrons learn of my identity one by one.

After a man and his wife spied me on the street yesterday, the lady looked back and hesitated.

"Should  I say something," she wondered aloud in a slight whisper.

Needless to say, I moved on.

I wasn't up to a close encounter of the third kind.

One of the funniest incidents occurred at McDonalds over the weekend.

As I noted in a previous post, the Wi-Fi was down at my Hotel, so I dashed out with computer in hand to avail myself of the free access at an outlet just across from the Sahara Hotel.

As this locaton, however, there was only one plug available for patrons.

So, I plunked down - plugged in - and tuned out.

As I was in the midst of polishing a paragraph, I had a burning sensation that someone's eyes were fixed tightly on me.

When I looked up, I was startled to find myself eyeball-to-eyeball with a motorist.

Uh-huh.

Turns out the drive-thru order station was just a few inches beyond my comfy perch on the other side of the picture window.

Without fail, every few minutes or so - when a hungry driver pulled up to order fries and a burger  - the scenario would start up all over again ad nauseam.

On each occasion, I slumped lower and lower in my chair, in a clandestine effort to hide my identity.

Later, I kicked myself.

I suppose I should have crafted a sign in an elegant script and offered up my autograph at $5.00 a pop.

Kidding!

One morning a twenty-something male actually followed me for about three blocks.

But, if he thought he was "tailing" me without my knowledge, he was dead-wrong.

I took a course in private investigations and was taught quite a few cool skills that come in handy to this day.

It is particularly disconcerting when I am lost in thought (reflecting on the right turn of a phrase for a post perhaps ) and it suddenly becomes painfully obvious - that I am being scrutinized from all-manner of folks from myriad walks of life within a twenty-or-thirty-foot perimeter (and then some).

OMG!

Did I appear to be talking to myself?

I have noticed these days that a few Latinos stare at me, probably because I gave the nod to the Nevada Governor, to sign into law the controversial Immigration Reform Bill.

You betcha.

Sarah Palin and I finally have one thing in common.

We're both on the Latino "hit" list.

Sometimes the behavior of some folks astounds me.

For example, I was on a shuttle bus provided by a Hotel one fine day, when I stood up and started to exit the bus.

I suddenly noticed  a woman - in a seat just forward - waiting for me to pass by first.

"Go ahead, Miss," I instructed politely.

A curious scenario also unfolds when I approach an open door around the same time others are about to enter it, too.

The strangers suddenly acquiesce (slow down) to allow me to go first.

I scoff at the notion that I deserve preferential treatment for some inexplicable reason.

I'll let you in on a secret, though.

The whole experience is quite exhausting.


Because I am constantly in the public eye, I am forced to maintain an energy level on par with my image, which can be a pretty draining charade to keep up in spite of the fact I am a robust man physically, mentally, and spiritually.


At times, I feel like I am walking in a dream world, when the madding crowd gazes on.

There is a thin line between reality and illusion, after all.


I try to stay grounded and down-to-earth for survival's sake.


With the knowledge that God appears in the humblest of places, of course!

Bellweather trends!

Sarah Palin...controversial perks! Lack of transparancy incenses officials...

 $5.00 a handshake

(Sarah, you did good)

Another controversy has reared its ugly head in the Palin camp!

When a couple of students stumbled on a proposed iternary for a potential  Sarah Palin speaking engagement in the trash - with a list of demands - Officials were incensed!

For starters, the particulars appeared to be a bit excessive in nature for a appearance on campus:

* 2 first class tickets
* Private jet policy
* Deluxe hotel suite
* Pre-screened questions

In addition, there was a stipulation that the facility provide bottled water with bendable straws.

The price tag (though not listed on the trash cast-offs) for the engagement?

$100,000.00 smackeroos!

But, what really irked the Officials was the lack of transparency.

That paperwork should have been recorded and filed and not just tossed in the garbage bin away from prying eyes.

Did Sarah Palin request that the terms and conditions be shrouded in mystery?

Barack Obama...Stephanopoulos baits Prez! Palin dried-up tea bag...

That George Stephanopoulus is a crafty devil when it comes to the subject of that dried-up old tea bag, Sarah Palin.

For example, in a one-on-one interview with President Obama on the subject of Nuclear materials this morning, he was relentless in his sly efforts to bait the Commander-in-Chief with pointed queries about the former VP hopeful from the frozen North.

But, Obama was light on his feet and evaded the velvet punches.

“Trying to get a rise out of me,” the President qently teased, as George shifted uncomfortably in the hot seat.

Frankly, I doubt that the President would be attracted to an uneducated backwoods country hick like Sarah Palin, y’all!

No boner surfacing there!

Obama passed with flying colors.

However, one off-handed biting remark dredged up a full-frontal attack from the Palin camp on the propaganda trail today elsewhere in the Nation.

Palin wasn’t about to ignore Barack’s back-handed assessment of her lack of familiarity (and knowledge) on the subject of nuclear materials.

“Oh yes, Barack's role as a community worker makes him an expert on the issue,” she laughed in so many words, to a roar of approval from supporters watching her back.

At that rally, she repeated her assertion that there was nothing wrong with the “tea party” being the irascible “no party”.

In response, pundits wondered aloud if there was much bark to her bite.

Meanwhile, President Obama continues to go on his merry way, unfettered by the hollow quitter who’s fast becoming a big joke around the country.

Amen!

Barack Obama...youthful & stylish in Black Leather jacket overseas!

Barack's inate fashion sense goes way back!

Sarah Palin should take a cue from the President, Barack Obama, who is currently on a tour overseas in the middle East.

The charistmatic 44th President (& Command-in-Chief) charged on stage at a military base today to boost the morale of the troops in a chic black leather jacket that lended a youthful air to the image of the country's head honcho (beleaguered lately over the Health Insurance Reform Bill signed into law last week amid vehement opposition by the Republicans).

In contrast to the jacket the Prez cut a stylish swath in, Sarah Palin's - festooned with all-manner-of tacky zips and snaps - was outlandishly "out-of-place" at a conservative tea party rally where image is of the utmost importance to American voters.

When I casually mentioned in a post on Justin Bieber's appearance on the Dave Letterman Show, that his fashion statement would trigger wardrobe sales at retail outlets around the country the next day, I didn't expect Sarah Palin to be at the head of the line.

Uh-huh.

With an obvious nod to Justin, Palin turned out at a Republican rally in Arizona (with wrinkly-old white Dude Senator John McCain in tow) sporting a chic leather jacket with all manner of snazzy eye-catching zips and snaps!

I half-expected the reality-show celebrity to take a cue from Cher.

"Let's hear it for the jacket."

Talk about an about-face!

On the campaign trail last year, Ms. Palin dressed-to-the-nines (at Republican expense) in conservative suits and tasteful wardrobe ensembles that projected a prim-and-proper image voters around the country were inclined to warm up to.

So, what gives with the biker chick look?

After all - on the last occasion I took high "tea" at the Empress Room in Victoria - the well-heeled crowd in attendance there were suitably attired in threads that were decidedly understated and elegant.

Maybe "tea party" afficianados are hankering to transform their image (youth-an-ize it) in a sly bold-faced effort to lure a demographic with a bit of clout (and less snoozing power) at the polling stations.

And, as Columbo would say.

"There's just one more thing."

Sarah, your jacket is "too tight".

I didn't need to be a detective to fathom the obvious up.

The leather folds stretching taut at the seams screamed it out.

Just maybe, Palin scoffed the jacket out of Crystal's closet?

Talk about incestuous!

Sarah, you're an uncooth cougar, alright.

TMZ...Harvey Levin to vote tea party! Octomom triggers switcherooo...

The glare of the spotlight turned on Harvey Levin tonight on TMZ when the O.J. Simpson afficionado lamented that he was going to go with the Tea Party!

Has the gossip referee on the popular mud fest finally warmed up to the swag-loving Queen of the party - Sarah Palin - or what?

Nope!

When a bit of scuttlebutt over Octomom's pending foreclosure became the subject of a gossip segment  - and some theorized the beleageured mom behind the eight ball might go for a bank loan to get herself out of the financial fix - he was livid.

The government bails out the banks with 1 Trillion Dollars.

Then, she gets a hand out?

"No way," he wailed in so many words.

"I'm going with the tea party," he exclaimed with a smug look of satisfaction on his face.

There must be something pretty potent in Harvey's cup to make his brain so fuzzy, eh?

Maybe he'll sober up in the morning!

Me?

I take a wide berth around the political terrain whenever possible.

In fact, when folks ask me if I am a Democrat or a Republican, I quip:

"I'm Canadian."

I'd rather focus on entertainment news (&  titillating gossip) - and grace my web pages instead - with sizzling hot bodacious babes (like super model Heidi Klum) and studly dudes like Kellam Lutz.

How 'bout you?

Sarah Palin...stand-up comic routine laughable! Ice Queen not funny...

Jay Leno offers up stand-up tips!

Palin clan to flaunt dirty laundry in reality show!

(how I spent my fall vacation)

After catching Sarah Palin's attempt at stand-up comedy on the Jay Leno show, the casual observer may find it a snap to fathom why (at long last) there was such a frenzied (back-stabbing fuss) over the recent late-night talk-show wranglings.

Stand-up is not an easy row to hoe, after all!

In Palin's case in particular.

For starters - like her bid for VP in the last election alongside hapless-hopeful John McCain - her timing (if you can call it that) was way-off.

In fact, her stale low-key fodder (meant to ingratiate) amounted to a series of one-liners tossed out at break-neck speed without much style or panache.

Instead, the forced quips fell flat.

Part of the problem, as any seasoned pro will attest to, is that Palin failed to recognize the importance of the "pause".

While it is not always required that it  "refresh", it should certainly not reflect that a comic is slipping into actual meno-pause (for image sake, at least).
George Burns and Jack Benny were masters at stand-up.

And, the former Ice Queen could use a little help in the recovery department, too.

Dave Letterman, King of the "dead joke" syndrome, is a good role model in that regard.

For instance, if Letterman goes out on a limb - and off-kilter out-of-whack material R.I.P.'s on stage - the toothy comedian is always able to turn the flub into a humorous moment.

Unfortunately for Palin, that's a skill she's not going to pick up overnight since the ability to turn a disaster into a side-splitting hilarious jolt of laughter (and wild applause) requires years of treading the boards in whiskey joints and concert halls around the heartland.

A well-written joke - even a funny one - is not always going to triumph unless the elements - emphasis , rhythm, timely appeal - are all in tandem.

Palin tended to be more like a juggler who dropped her pins mid-flight than one who was just humming along in control with the audience tightly-held in greased palm.

That issue aside, Palin is definitely not one to rest on her laurels, though.

In fact, if the scuttlebutt be true, the gun-toting fur-bearing former Governor, is planning a come-back of sorts (to ressurect herself in the eyes of die-hard Republicans around the nation) by way of a spanking new tome.

There should be enough fodder to rustle up a gaggle of  talk-show appearances - at which point  - the feisty Northern Hunter may feel more comfortable in front of a critical audience out to lynch her normally.

Then, there's the reality show!

Uh-huh.

One of the popular gossip tabloids spilled the beans that Palin & family may be inviting the searing eye of the tawdry reality show circuit  into her Alaskan igloo for an up-close lookie-loo.

At this point, the spunky go-getter, appears to be the little ice sled that could.

News at 11!
