That's Politics Bitch




- In case any of you missed it here is a quick recap of the brouhaha that went down at the Miss USA pageant.

I love this line from Perez Hilton, "I would have appreciated it if she had kept her politics and religion out because Miss USA represents all Americans."

First of all Perez you asked her a question about gay marriage. She didn't pick it and she didn't have the chance to pass on it. Secondly, my somewhat skinny ass you wanted her to say that each state should decide the issue for themselves. You were baiting her into that answer and trying to create a controversy.

- This past weekend Barack Obama met with our Latin neighbors to the south. Most notably he talked with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and spoke of renewed relations with Cuba. Yesterday President Obama met with the Chicago Comrades White Sox to discuss socialism baseball. Coincidence? I'll let you decide.

- During an interview with Sean Hannity, blowhard extraordinaire, Dick Cheney chastised Obama for leaking the classified CIA memos regarding torture while not also releasing the memos that detailed what information was gained from them. Assuming we did actually get intelligence that saved American lives I could see this getting ugly for Democrats and Obama.

- Big ups to New York Governor David Patterson. In the video below he is apparently mocking an organization that is fighting to keep hospitals and nursing homes open. You stay classy governor.

Leaving out my personal opinion on the issue, Perez Hilton is a dumbass. He asked a question and got an honest response and penalized her for that. I guess we shouldn't reward honesty anymore. She should have just said that anyone should be able to get married that wants to and left it at that huh?

WOW. wake up to the real world, diversity is ok as long as the person who is asked a question answers with a real HONEST answer. She did, and you have to respect that. She could have played the politcally correct game, but no SHE honestly answere with confidence and if U don't like it run against her at the next beauty pagent, Game on, how about we do it at Soldier Field, halftime and we let the crowd decide whose TRUE.

Stupid question by a self-promoter, and a stupid answer. Don't whine about losing, you need to be prepared to give fake answers that please both sides.

What the hell is Perez Hilton doing judging a women's beauty pageant though? I thought he liked men?
