*…Is probably the headline the New York Post will have.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said no to a resolution honoring the late pop star because debate on the symbolic measure could raise “contrary views” about the pop star’s life.
The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), cites MJ’s charitable acts and refers to him as an Amerian music legend, icon, and humanitarian.
So will Fox News actually say something nice about Nancy Pelosi since they actually agree on something Eh, who am I kidding?
Fox News anchor Sean Hannity crossed the line (I lost count how many times this has happened before). On his program “Hannity” last night, he criticized Michelle Obama for carrying a $6,000 handbag. Not only that, but for “going to Broadway shows”, and “having yoga arms”, and “going out to dinner”, “going to Paris” (keep in mind, she was accompanying the President on his visit there). And who said she was complaining? She sure didn’t.
And where was all this criticism on Sarah Palin’s wardrobe last year? Michelle Obama wears J.Crew for goodness sake. And he conveniently failed to mention that in between her fancy trips and yoga classes, she volunteers her time to the troops and educational causes. Not to mention her TWO DAUGHTERS.
Watch your mouth, Hannity.
U.S. President Barack Obama (C) and France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy (R) take their places with junior G8 delegates for a family photo at the G8 summit in L’Aquila, Italy, July 9, 2009.
I’m going to choose to believe that President Obama sees something on the ground that the young lady dropped and wants to return it to her. He is NOT checking her out. Right? RIGHT? I mean, he’s married to MICHELLE OBAMA! Yeah, yeah, guys check out other women all the time, but he’s our PRESIDENT people! *sigh*
My favorite thing about this photo is actually Nicolas Sarkozy smirking at Obama. Priceless.

Dear MSNBC Producers,
The Full Ginsburg would like to let the entire world wide web know how much we are in love with you right now. To whichever intern, production assistant, producer, or crew guy that found our “How to Talk Like a Politician” video and decided that it make a good piece for air, THANK YOU. The Full Ginsburg and friends saw the piece air on MSNBC at approximately 5pm EST yesterday, and we couldn’t be more psyched.
If you ever need a talking head to comment about comedy and politics, we’ll be there for you. Until then, we’ll keep trying to make funny political videos.
Hugs and Kisses,

Apparently a private swim club in Pennsylvania asked a few kids to leave even though their swim club paid thousands of dollars for them to do so. Why would they possibly turn these kids away? The kids say it’s because of the color of their skin.
John Duesler, the president of the Valley Club, said in a statement,“There was concern a lot of the kids would change the complexion and the atmosphere of the club.” Wow. The complexion? REALLY?

Rachel Maddow recently went on Charlie Rose and said that conservatives aren’t the only ones disappointed with President Obama.
”The President has disappointed the left,” she said. Rose asked her to be more specific – on what exactly? “I would say on the war, on healthcare, on economic [policy]… on civil liberties and on civil rights,” Maddow said.
Ouch. But if the “left” is so disapproving of the way our President is handling things, why does he still have soaring approval numbers amongst Democrats (including African-Americans and Hispanics)? According to The Nation, “Maddow, presumably, was referring to a much smaller cohort of self-identified (white) progressives”.
