New York Doing What She Does Best



Looks like the "The Flavor of Love" groupie is hating on Jennifer Hudson's fiance, David Otunga. He is best known as "Punk", a contestant on her reality TV drama, "I Love New York". New York states that "He's really loving being Mr. Jennifer Hudson. I just hope people are marrying each other for the right reasons. It's a mixed match, it won't work. He'll be in her shadow like Al Reynolds was to Star Jones, like Stedman Graham is to Oprah." I guess New York would know. In retrospect, it is just like how she is living in the shadows of her 15 minutes gained from "Flavor of Love". This statement would have more bite if it were coming from someone with a better resume (does she even qualify as having one?) than herself. Homegurl has no skills other than running off at the mouth and giving people the pleasure of watching her antics which consist of nothing more than temper tantrums and buffunary. In the meantime, Jennifer, I wish you nothing but the best!

VP Debates

Who else is pretty excited about watching the VP debates? My family has already decided to make this a family night. I have been designated to bring the popcorn. The popular question nowadays is "how will Palin perform in the debate against Biden?" I would guess like how a deer performs in headlights. The Republicans acted as if they picked her because she was some kind of "Ace in the Hole" that we were underestimating. If her interviews are any indication, it is safe to say they were dead wrong. So, how do you really think she will do? On one hand, you have an experienced debater. On the other, you have someone who got tripped up on questions from Katie Couric. You decide.

"Gotcha" Journalism?

It appears that every question directed to Sarah Palin is what she and John McCain like to call "gotcha" journalism. Even when it is a question asked by a Regular Joe voter.....and not a professional journalist. She was asked by this Regular Joe "What are you gonna do about Pakistan?". And so she answered the question, revealing her stance....that she agreed with attacking terrorist targets. Actually, her exact statement was "if that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should". I would also like to point out this exchange was captured on video.

Now she and McCain are actively trying to retract her statement seeing as how it coincides with Obama's statements (statements which McCain has publicly attacked). So now they are trying to claim her statement actually was "we're gonna do what we have to do to protect the United States of America". Did Palin and McCain seem to forget her original response was actually recorded?

It seems this is a woman of many excuses and not enough answers. Conservative journalist Kathleen Parker, who once upon a time rooted for Palin, put it best: "If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself."

If the Republicans hope to have even a sliver of a chance at defeating the Democrats, now is not the time for her to fumble while asked simple, soft core questions. She should already have a basic knowledge about all the questions asked of her and if McCain was not so inept, he would had made sure she did before even asking her to take on this responsibility. But I guess the fact she is a woman was good enough for him. I find that tactic rather insulting for two reasons. 1) He thought the American public was dumb enough to be side-tracked and forget about the real issues & 2) He could have at least got himself a smart woman. And I'm sure Hillary pretty much feels the same way...especially since they were trying to advertise Palin as being in the same league as her simply because she is a woman, nothing more. Sorry Palin, but you must also be intelligent to fully function in her league.

Say What?!

I'm sure everybody has already heard that T.I has been ordered to pay an additional $1,000/month towards child support of his 2 sons with jobless LaShon Dixon. In addition to the extra money, he was also ordered to continue paying for the boys to attend private school, uninsured medical bills and expenses related to the children’s extracurricular activities. It has been stated that T.I is very happy with the court order. I admire his ability to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. Because had it been me, I would find the whole ordeal very insulting. Especially the fact that LaShon is STILL unhappy. Her lawyer stated that "she was just getting by with the children, while they lived a different life with their father". JUST GETTING BY?! Say what?! Well, I have the perfect solution for her "troubles": how about she find herself a job other than her side hustle of gold-digging and exploiting her children? Anybody with good sense knows not all that money is going towards her sons. It takes a very sorry person to abuse the justice system, making it harder for those who truly are deserving.
