It’s been less than 48 hours since the election has ended, and the Sarah Palin bashing and blaming is already in full force — and it’s Fox News leading the charge?!
Basically, Fox News reporter Carl Cameron went on the air with Shepard Smith yesterday to reveal all sorts of incredibly damaging “off the record” juicy secrets about Palin — like the fact she didn’t know Africa was a continent. But It gets better …
In the report, the woman who several Fox News personalities hailed as a person qualified to run the country is portrayed as someone who couldn’t pass the 4th grade.
There’s the bus — and there’s Sarah Palin being thrown under it.
With record turnout expected in today’s presidential election, Paris Hilton is ready to accept a big thank-you from the winner.
Speaking at the press day for her new organ-harvesting musical horror flick Repo! The Genetic Opera, Hilton told E! News that her Paris for President videos totally helped herd young folks in the booths.
“It’s exciting to be involved in the biggest election in history,” she said. “It encourages a lot of young voters to speak their voice and to vote.”
Not only did she help mobilize the masses, but she managed to get, like, all kinds of important stuff and things into their heads.
“I was talking about issues and actually making sense but still playing with my image at the same time,” she explained. “Doing it in a ditzy way, but actually saying things I think can really help it along.”
Any advice, then, for tomorrow’s winner?
“Whoever becomes the next president has a lot on their hands,” she said. “It’s going to be hard for anyone.”
Gee, thanks a lot, Paris. Does she honestly believe she’s that important? What an imbecile.
Carrie Underwood says she has lost all respect for the likes of Oprah, Diddy, Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney and pretty much every other celebrity.
The singer who won American Idol says she dislikes when celebrities publicly back a presidential candidate.
She tells TV Guide that “there is someone I do support, but I don’t support publicly. I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate. It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions, I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to. Music is where you go to get away from all the BS. Whether it’s from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape.
I agree completely, I am sick of celebrities endorsing candidates, thank god it is nearly over.
Sarah Jessica Parker was busy making phone calls for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama yesterday.
The phone bank is part of the New York campaign’s big push - called ‘Last Call’ - to recruit over 10,000 volunteers to make 6 million calls from now until Election Day. To date, there has been historic voter participation in New York State for Obama.
On The View today, Barbara Walters said that the T-shirt Elisabeth Hasselbeck donned yesterday caused the show to get “e-mails and calls with people complaining.”
What was emblazoned across her chest? “Great Ameri(Mc)Cain Hero.”
With a quick roll of the eyes, Elisabeth huffed, “Well, they must all be voting for Obama.”
Responded Babs: “It’s one thing to wear it during Hot Topics but then when you’re interviewing celebrities….” She asked whether the jest then becomes “an advertisement.”
Elisabeth was quick to chime in with: “I designed the shirt. I sent it to the campaign! … That’s who my heart is for.”
And, of course, no event on The View can go by without Joy Behar throwing in her two cents. “I would wear an Obama T-shirt, she said. “But I would need shoulder pads and I don’t think that would look good.”
Do you think it was politically incorrect for Elisabeth to wear a McCain shirt on the show?
Here’s a preview of John McCain on Late Show last night. He told host David Letterman, “I screwed up,” then laughed and did a little “gee whiz” shrug, and made an awkward joke about being tortured in Vietnam. “What can I say?!” the Republican presidential nominee asked.
Letterman later hit McCain for paling around with Watergate burglar and would-be firebomber G. Gordon Liddy, even though McCain has slammed Barack Obama for an arguably more distant relationship with 1960s radical William Ayers.
McCain ultimately seemed defensive and unprepared, and the whole thing was train-wreck-level awkward, but you really have to watch, if only to witness still more of McCain’s bizarre face-pulls.
