I'm not saying that getting laid is the agenda at every political event. But when everybody's drunk on America, there's a good chance to engage salaciously with legislators or the fit security staff.
For me, a WTF moment can be either good or bad, but has to be in some sense a little bit unbelievable, as in "You can't write this stuff." So behold -- my first annual list of WTF moments.
With the election of 2008 demonstrating how far this country has progressed with issues such as sexism and racism, it should be interesting to see if America will respond any differently to a Commander-in-chief of color.
In the name of transparency, Rachel Maddow went back and clarified that a bailout-justifying guest of hers actually had a blatant conflict of interest.
McCain couldn't possibly be an elitist and out of touch with most Americans because it doesn't fit the media narrative. He's just not.
Scarborough epitomized every boorish, condescending male that ever tried to diminish a woman... whether it be a family member, a co-worker, or a presidential candidate.
It looks like MSNBC caved into McCain's complaints, which will anger liberals. David Gregory? FOX news didn't get to be the number-one cable news network by being dull and balanced.
We've seen this before: specious attempts to connect Obama with corrupt or controversial figures in Chicago. This is what we can expect for the next four years. The crazy has only just begun.
Just minutes after "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough dropped an F-bomb live on the air, MSNBC announced that it was re-launching the show to capitalize on its star's salty vocabulary.
A physical assault on President Bush failed to knock the Obama taint meme out of the cable news roundelay of hackery. They're visibly reacting -- knee-jerking and overcompensating, really, to eight years of chronic narcolepsy.
What makes Jessica Yellin's "clarification" about her coverage of the run-up to the Iraq war so much fun is that you can almost see the gun being pointed at her head by CNN management as you read her words.
If we don't like the Second Amendment, then we should agitate to get rid of it in the methods the Founders prescribed. But we might want to think twice.
This "agreement" is just another part of the recent "Bush/Cheney Revisionist History Farewell Tour." It was created to fail, just as long as that failure didn't happen while Bush was still president.
It's hard not to wonder why we look at other countries' connections to religion as fanatical or misplaced theocracy, but don't see any aspects of it in our own culture.
In Newsweek, Karl Rove argued that Republicans must support a policy that "strengthens citizenship, grows our economy and keeps America a welcoming nation."

THANK YOU SCOTT!!!
THANK YOU!
At last, I feel totally justified in my love for "SPEED RACER"!
This film was a Mattel "HOT WHEELS" set come to life. It was fast, fun, colorful, corny, and every word that comes with being a kid. And I saw it in IMAX, which made the experience even more spectacular. So much so, that I refused to buy the DVD because there's no other way to see.
At 45 years of age, "SPEED RACER" made me feel like a kid again.
Confession:
I practically cried after "THE DARK KNIGHT".
Because they finally got The Batman RIGHT!!!
One of my favorites this year: "Lars and the Real Girl". I agree on the choice of the "Ruins", the acting was superb. I also thought "Don't Mess With The Zohan" was very insightful, plus pretty funny too. I have to disgree with you on "Hancock", I just saw it on video, very disappointing!
Speed Racer was excellent and thoroughly ambitious, glad to see it getting the props it deserves. Although no 'Synecdoche, New York"? That would form the trinity for me this year with 'Wall-E' and "Let the Right One In."
