Last week during the first Presidential Debate Mitt Romney said that he would stop funding PBS if he was elected even though he is a fan of Big Bird and the late night shows ran with that. SNL, The Tonight Show, Conan and so on all came up with spoof videos, so when I saw Barak Obama’s latest ad I thought it was a joke. I mean it seems more like something that those shows would do rather than what the President’s camp would do. Could be because I watched all of those fake videos before the real one. Doesn’t it almost feel like a joke to you.
And you better watch it while you can because Sesame Street wants to educate them on their stance on politics. Sesame Workshop posted this statement on their site, “Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns. We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down.” It will be interesting to see if they do because I mean in their defense it was a smart thing to do after Big Bird’s boom after the debate. More people talked about our favorite yellow winged friend instead of the candidates for the next few days.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was on 60 Minutes yesterday and Leslie Stahl asked him he was for gay marriage. The former-Governator told her that he officiated not one but two same-sex marriages when he was in office. Even though he believes marriage is between a man and a woman, he would never enforce his will on people.
So in other words he believes in the sanctity of a marriage ceremony, just not the sanctity of a marriage…
Less than 7 months ago Rep Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and her chances of survival were looking dim. Well today she proved everyone wrong because she was back in the House, the House of Representatives that is.
If ever a politician in this century was the face of courage, inspiration, bravery and heroism it is her. I am in awe of her and I am happy in a time when politicians seem like the greedy scum of the earth, she is the face that not all of them are.
If I could vote for her as President in 2012 I would. Because is she could survive a bullet in the head, she can survive the Presidency.
I so respect this woman, not only for her fight back from hellish situation, but because she is a politician who sincerely cares about the people who voted for her.
Soon-to-be-departing White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was on The Gayle King Show on OWN live this morning and Oprah’s BFF asked him what he would do if Charlie Sheen was his client? The man who has been doing press for President Barack Obama for over two years told her, “If I was the press secretary to Charlie Sheen, I would resign.†Wow, that says a lot because he was able to work with President of The United States for over two years, but couldn’t do even a day with the troubled Two and a Half Men star!
You can watch The Gayle King Show live on OWN weekdays at 10a.
A lawmaker in Bueno Aires didn’t agree what with what one of her co-lawmakers was saying so she slapped him right in the kisser according to KABC. If American politicians did that, I am sure CSPAN’s rating would skyrocket. Sh!t I know I would sure as hell watch! It’s the only reason why I watch hockey…for the blood!!!
xoxo Deb!
