The Pittsburgh Tribune Review Editorial Board. Again.

I think they're just playing with my head this time. This is just too easy.

Take a look at today's "Sunday Pops." It ends with this:
Rocco Landesman, president of the taxpayer teat-suckling National Endowment for the Arts, says "Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar." Given that the president handpicked Mr. Landesman, can a revival of the term "bootlicker" be far behind?
First let's start off saying that they're spinning the quote into something it isn't. Here's a far more reliable source (Fox "News") with the fuller quotation:

Putting the president in the pantheon with such pencil-pushing powerhouses as the man who was, literally, the Czar of all Czars, Landesman said that since Obama "actually writes his own books," he's the most powerful man to be a true writer in the 2,000 years since Caesar strode the narrow earth.

The Hottie in the White House?

The worship of the Obamas has reached absurd proportions.

Maxim magazine has released its 2009 Hot 100 list, a gallery of the 100 sexiest celebrities. There's always debate about who should be on the list, billed as the "definitive list of hotness." But this year, the editors of Maximum appear to have gone over the deep end.

At No. 93 on the list of sexiest women on the planet ... drum roll please ... Michelle Obama ... Yes, that would be First Lady Michelle Obama.

This is what the magazine had to say about the selection:
He may be dealing with two wars, an economic meltdown, and a rapidly graying dome, but at least our Commander in Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States.

Nancy Pelosi Water Torture

Nancy Pelosi saying she is not lying is about as convincing as Richard Nixon claiming he is not a crook. Listening to Nancy Pelosi lie about not being fully briefed by the CIA is the ultimate in torture.

From Investor's Business Daily: The CIA will bite back after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's wild new allegations of a cover-up on terrorist interrogations. When that truth comes out, she'll lose big. It may be the lie that ensnares her. Read the full editorial, "Flailing In Quicksand," at Investor's Business Daily.
