Chavez wants Obama to apologize to Japan. And every other country while he’s at it.

Hugo Chavez urging all Venezuelan men over the age of 50 to get annual prostate exams.
President Obama thought the world would love him if he simply apologized to the Europeans and Turks for Iraq.

So much for that theory. Now it turns out that everybody and their brother wants an apology. Hugo Chavez evens wants us to apologize to the Japanese.

“It is very encouraging that the president of the United States called for the end of and the destruction of nuclear arms in the world,” Hugo Chavez told reporters in Tokyo, where he signed an investment deal with Japan.

The United States is “the planet’s number one nuclear power. It is also the only country in the world that dropped the atomic bomb,” Chavez stated. “At any rate, I think America should apologize to Japan.”

This, of course, is back to back to back with Fidel Castro demanding an apology and Iran lining up for one, too.

Let’s just apologize now. Japan, we’re sorry you attacked us and we kicked your asses in World War II. Venezuela, we’re sorry you were stupid enough to “elect” this megalomaniac. Iran, we’re sorry you’re governed by a group of 13th century lunatics. Cuba, we’re sorry Fidel Castro is still alive. And as an added bonus, United Nations, we’re sorry we ever rented you space in New York city.

Anyone else want an apology? Get in line.

New dating site is exactly what the angry IslamoFascist needs to meet the woman of his dreams

taliban_singles_online
You may have noticed the “Muslim Matrimonials” ad that pops up every once in a while in the upper left-hand corner of IHateTheMedia.com. We assume it’s legit.

But where can a jilted jihadist find the woman of his dreams? Where does a socially inept IslamoFascist find true love? And since alcohol is forbidden, what is an unmarried Muslim extremist’s alternative to a single’s bar?

Taliban Singles might be a good idea. Maybe even Osama Bin-laden would relax a bit if we could just get the guy laid.

Congressional Communists Black Caucus members get giddy while meeting with Castro

This is still considered a luxury car in Fidel Castro's island paradise.
This is still considered a luxury car in Fidel Castro's island paradise.
Seven members of the Congressional Black Caucus flew down to Cuba and expressed their deep admiration for the island nation’s murderous Communist dictator. They got as giddy as Chris Matthews thinking about Barack Obama.

Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) said meeting the brutal dictator was like talking with old family members:

“The fifty-year embargo just hasn’t worked,” CBC Chairwoman Barbara Lee (D-Ca.) told reporters after returning from Cuba. “The bottom line is that we believe its time to open dialogue with Cuba.”

Lee and others called Castro warm and receptive during their discussion. “It was quite a moment to behold,” Lee said, recalling her moments with Castro.

“It was almost like listening to an old friend,” said Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Il). “In my household I told Castro he is known as the ultimate survivor.”

Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Ca.) reported that Castro was receptive to President Obama’s promise to turn the page in foreign policy.

“He listened. He said the exact same thing as President Obama said,” Richardson said with awe.

Barney Frank got a little too excited at the thought of turning a page until Richardson said he was only speaking metaphorically.

Marines tortured Saddam, made him watch South Park episode in which he was Satan’s gay boyfriend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWoXGpV38Hw WARNING: DO NOT WATCH THIS “SOUTH PARK” CLIP IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED

While Saddam Hussein was being held by U.S. Marines, he was forced to watch the movie “South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut.” Repeatedly. To make it even funnier, the animated feature shows Saddam as Satan’s gay boyfriend.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the animated series and film, were thrilled that Saddam’s guards gave them the photo.

“We’re very proud of our signed Saddam picture and what it means,” Stone said. “It’s one of our biggest highlights.”

“I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed Saddam the movie,” he laughed. “Over and over again – which is a pretty funny thought.”

Are tasteless cartoons a violation of the Geneva Convention? Tough luck.

Poll shows Americans think gun control advocates are way off target

gun_control Here’s a pleasant surprise. A new Gallup poll shows that support for gun control has dropped to just 29%, the lowest level in history. But don’t hold your breath waiting to see it on the evening news.

The question was “Do you think there should or should not be a law that would ban possession of handguns, except by the police and other authorized persons?”

The surprise is how dramatically support for gun control has fallen. Advocates seemed to have their goal in their sights back in 1959 when 60% of Americans supported gun control. But it’s been almost straight down hill since then. Support now rests at just 29%.

Guns don’t kill gun control advocates. Polls do.

Just what America needs in its hour of darkness: Governor Montel Williams. Senator Montel Williams.
Or dare we dream it, President Montel Williams.

Following in the grand tradition of Clint Eastwood and Ronald Reagan, talk show host Montel Williams is thinking of running for office. On second thought, it’s more like he’s following the grand tradition of Jerry Springer.

The multi-talented Montel isn’t content with a resume that includes U.S. Marine, TV schlockmeister, Presidential coin con man, and Air America talk show host. Now this shiny-pated renaissance man says he may run for office.

“I’ve had many discussions at multiple levels of government about the responsibility of us all who feel as if we have the audacity to open our mouths and complain about what happens in our society and then not step up to the plate to do something about it,” Williams insisted. “And the best way to do something about it is through public service.”

Maybe Montel can combine his TV show with his governmental duties. No welfare payments for anyone until Governor Montel’s DNA tests prove who your baby’s daddy really is.

Another Obama brother discovered, accused of sexual assault in the U.K.

Samson Obama, alleged sexual predator. Sounds more like he should be Bill Clinton's brother.
Samson Obama, alleged sexual predator. Sounds more like he should be Bill Clinton's brother.

You need a scorecard to keep track of the wacky characters in President Obama’s family. Now we find out he has yet another half brother, this one named Samson Obama, and he’s been accused of sexual assault in England.

Britain’s The News of the World says Samson was busted in January as he attempted to enter the country on his way from his home in Kenya to bubba’s inauguration in Washington, DC.

Using a high tech database, immigration officers discovered he had been arrested by British police the previous November after he allegedly tried to sexually assault a 13-year old girl.

“He supplied officers with his mother’s address in Bracknell but gave them a false ID, claiming to be Henry Aloo, a genuine asylum seeker,” News of the World said.

This is almost too crazy to believe. We have an illegal alien aunt living in Boston. We have one brother busted for pot while living in a hut in Nairobi. We have another brother living in China and running an illegal internet business. We have the militant Muslim brother living in Kenya. And now we have an alleged sexual predator using false ID in England.

That leaves about half a dozen more Obama brothers and sisters who have checked in with neither us nor their parole officers. The fun has just begun.

Lou Dobbs calls Keith Olbermann a left wing hack, and more

It’s Easter weekend, family is visiting, and we weren’t going to spend too much time on IHateTheMedia.com. But some things are just to sweet to pass up. Like CNN’s Lou Dobbs calling MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann a “left-wing hack,” “who has to spend so much time adjusting his medication he can’t figure out what he’s doing.”

No time for humor analysis and comment. It’s enough just to watch and listen.

Thanks to Newsbusters.org for the heads up.

Help pay off Hillary’s campaign debt, win tickets to American Idol (you can’t make this stuff up)

This space now available. C'mon, Hillary, this could be the most valuable advertising space in Washington, DC.
This space now available. C'mon, Hillary, this could be the most valuable advertising space in Washington, DC.

Hillary’s still buried in debt from her failed presidential run. She needs to pay Bill back for the millions of dollars he loaned to her campaign. So James Carville sent this remarkably cheesy email to Hillary’s supporters.

The bottom line is simple: Send Hillary $5 and you could win one of three fabulous prizes. What kind of prizes? Well, Carville describes them as “truly once in a lifetime.” Decide for yourself:

  • A day with President Clinton in New York. (Visit the Harlem office he himself rarely visits. Learn his pick up technique in a downtown Manhattan bar. Listen to him tell stories of his days in the oral office.)
  • Lunch with James Carville and Paul Begala. (Yes, the ever modest Carville actually described having lunch with him as “a once in a lifetime” prize. Our guess would be that he has lunch every day.)
  • Tickets to the finale of American Idol. (The gay guy is really terrific and will undoubtedly win).

Unbelievable. Bill Clinton has made hundreds of millions of dollars since he left office and his wife is begging you for $5 donations. But we think they could easily offer some additional prizes. Such as:

  • A session with Hillary’s personal Botox specialist.
  • 90-seconds in the Lincoln Bedroom (pro-rated from the standard $100,000 per night)
  • Six months worth of advertising space on Paul Begala’s forehead (perfect for today’s cash-strapped business looking for a creative way to advertise)

C’mon, James, show a little creativity here. The money will come rolling in.

Now, don’t tell anyone over at the Hillary campaign website, but one of our staff here is on the Hillary Clinton Campaign mailing list and received one of these emails yesterday. We’d done image capture of it and you can see it by clicking on the thumbnail on the left here.

37% say U.S. has been arrogant and dismissive of Europe. We say, “Who cares?”

22% of Americans want us to be more like Europe. We'll pass.
22% of Americans want us to be more like Europe. We'll pass.
Rasmussen Reports conducts some interesting surveys. One of their new national telephone surveys shows that 37% “of American voters agree that in dealing with its European allies over the years, the United States has shown arrogance, been dismissive, and even derisive.”

Luckily, the same survey found that 47% disagree with that statement. 16% are not sure. (We suspect that the answer to this question is not all they’re unsure of.)

The best part of the survey is that 54% of American voters think the world would be better off if Europe became more like the United States. 22% think the world would better off it we became more like Europe.

If that 22% is talking about topless beaches, we’re with ’em. But if they’re talking about lederhosen, forget it.

Danny Glover and United Nations want you to apologize. And pay reparations. And worse.

Hugo Chavez leads and Danny Glover follows as they dance around the issues.
Hugo Chavez leads and Danny Glover follows as they dance around the issues.
Actor and activist Danny Glover, admirer of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, has plans for you.

Glover has an article in MiddleEastOnline.com titled “Race and the Obama Administration.” He excoriates the Bush administration for walking out on a 2001 U.N. anti-racism conference. He “urges the Obama administration to commit to participation at the U.N.’s Durban Review Conference against racism and intolerance – and to reclaim American leadership in the struggle for human rights.”

Glover paints a pretty picture of the peace and love and harmony that would have ruled the previous conference if only the evil Bush and the even more evil Israelis hadn’t walked out and ruined any chance of approval for the dandy resolution the delegates had written.

You already know everything you need to know about Glover. He pals around with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and never misses an opportunity to bash America.

The 2001 conference was an exercise in reparations lovin’, Israeli hatin’, American loathin’ and wealth redistributin’. You can read more about it here.

Just what you’d expect from Castro, Chavez, and Glover love.

Whatever you do, don’t call Billy Bob Thornton an Actor

Billy Bob Thornton is an Oscar winning actor, but don’t say that to his face, as QTV interviewer Jian Ghomeshi found out the hard way. Nope, the whole movie thing apparently has been a diversion on the road to his recent blockbuster of a music career with his new band, The Boxcars. And that’s all he wants to talk about. Period.

The video is a bit long, but it’s definitely worth a listen of you like to see pretentious actors musicians makes asses of themselves. Over a million people in less than the two days its been out have watched it already, and he’s losing fans on Youtube faster than Angelina Jolie removed th “Billy Bob” tat from her arm. We won’t give it away, but suffice it to say, once you are done watching, you’re going to like ol’ Billy Bob just a little bit less, if you even did like him to begin with.

(If you want to save some time, listen until just under the two minute mark, and then skip to 6:50 and go until minute 10:00.)

Video of the Day
Carters blow off Clintons

We may have understated it. This may be the video of the week. Maybe the month.

It’s always been rumored that there’s no love lost between Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. You can just imagine how “het up” the sanctimonious Carter get over the mere thought of the things Clinton did in the Oval Office.

This clip exposes that lack of respect in all its glory. Bill Clinton is doing his best meet-and-greet at some reception. When Carter approaches, Bill looks away while the peanut farmer and the little lady walk right past and completely ignore him. Clinton looks away and pretends he didn’t see the snub. And best of all, Hillary completely freezes in the background. The look on her face is priceless.

Best Line of the Day
Americans pay taxes “because some of our country’s good-for-nothing bums are too chicken to rob us at gunpoint.”

As April 15 rolls around let us take a moment to recall why we Americans pay taxes: Because some of our country’s good-for-nothing bums are too chicken to rob us at gunpoint. That would be members of Congress and the executive branch. How come we keep electing politicians who will tax the bejeezus out of us? Especially Democrats? At least Republicans are smart enough to lie about it.

Read the rest in “A Nation of Moochers” by P.J. O’Rourke in the Weekly Standard.

Ratings for MSNBC’s EdShow look more like DeadShow

MSNBC may have made a boneheaded move when it put Ed Schultz on the air, but at least they were smart enough to bury him on the fringe of primetime.

The ratings on his premier show were, shall we say, disappointing. That makes the ratings on night two disastrous. And the ratings on night three were..hello…hello…is anyone out there?

By night three, the Fox show in the same time slot has 4.5 times as many viewers as Schultz. And the CNN shown had twice as many.

Fox and CNN both love the EdShow. Finally, something they can both agree on.

Network     Monday     Tuesday     Wednesday
Fox     2,125,000     1,919,000     2,202,000
CNN     1,147,000     1,010,000     807,000
EdShow/MSNBC     725,000     602,000     406,000

Uh-oh. March is Maddow’s lowest-rated month ever.

maddow_chart The good news for Rachel Maddow is that her show is up 98% in total viewers and 70% in the 24-54 age demographic compared to the invisibly low ratings of Dan Abrams, her predecessor in the time slot.

MediaBistro said, “Maddow was an instant hit and is currently the network’s second-highest rated show.”

The bad news is that you don’t have to be an expert statistician to figure out the trend of this chart. March was Maddow’s sixth month on MSNBC and also her lowest-rated. Her viewership has plunged a remarkable 40% in six months.

At the rate she’s going, Maddow’s last viewer will switch to another station on January 1, 2010. Put it on your calendar. The beer’s on us.

Times of London reports on Michelle Obama’s “falsies”

michelle_falsies There are subtle differences between American English and English English. (More significant differences, apparently, than the subtle differences only President Obama has picked up between German and Austrian.)

That being said, The Times of London has reported on Michelle Obama’s “falsies.” Consider it more evidence of England’s Obama burn-out:

I know, you’re fed up with reading about Michelle Obama. But let me just tempt you towards one last, tiny detail: the First Lady’s falsies. Michelle Obama is normally so natural looking, it’s surprising to find something about her that is so unapologetically fake.

Those eyelashes weren’t even trying to look real.

No, they were full-on, all-out diva lashes, the kind you normally find on D-list celebrities or in drag-act dressing rooms. The allure of the long lash is well-documented. They define and sexualise the gaze, making the eyes appear bigger (and therefore younger). Gazing up at someone through luscious lashes is considered an act of seduction; it’s even entered the vernacular: “you batted your eyelashes at him.”

Given that Mrs Obama’s intention was to seduce Europe, she chose those lashes well, making no attempt to conceal the artifice. She did not, for example, opt for lash extensions which give the most natural finish. These are bonded to the wearer’s own lashes, a painstaking process that nevertheless yields fantastic results. You can choose various degrees of amplification, from just a few extra lashes to a full-on fan. Suzie Lung (tel 07957 771503) does a mean set, or try Vaishaly (020-7224 6088).

Bernard Goldberg supports affirmative action – for conservatives in the newsroom.

Bernard Goldberg, author of A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media knows the politics of America’s newsrooms as well as anyone. And that’s why liberals detest him.

“We need newsrooms that not only look like America, but think a little more like America.”

That’s just one quote from the speech he delivered last week at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, California. But there are a lot more where that came from.

Watch the whole speech. If for no other reason than you know that Barney Frank won’t.

British scientists make major discovery:
Gwyneth Paltrow is nuts

Gwyneth Paltrow. We'd say she's nuttier than a fruitcake, but we're not sure if fruitcake is macrobiotic.
Gwyneth Paltrow. We'd say she's nuttier than a fruitcake, but we're not sure if fruitcake is macrobiotic.
British scientists have called Gwyneth Paltrow ‘loopy’ after she issued a warning that shampoo causes cancer.

The semi-American actress admits she was “seized with fear” after learning about “environmental toxins” (you would call them “chemicals found in everyday items.”) Paltrow said the number of children getting cancer and autism was growing ‘exponentially’ as a result of those chemicals.

“It annoys me when celebrities use their position to spout nonsense,” said Hugh Pennington, Emeritus Professor of bacteriology at Aberdeen University and a leading bacteriologist. “They have a perfect right to their views, even if they are loopy. But shampoo is perfectly safe – unless you drink it in large quantities.”

Paltrow promulgated her wacky claims on goop.com, her personal website, where she often gives fans information about her favourite restaurants and tasty organic recipes.

Paltrow’s children, Apple and Moses, are being raised on a macrobiotic diet. That means no cheese and no white flour. But as long as mom’s around, it means plenty of nuts.
