You’ve probably heard the audio version of Bill O’Reilly’s sex tapes – the ones he recorded for the audiobook version of his novel “Those Who Trespass.”
But now we have exclusive video that shows exactly what went on during the recording session. You’ll see things you never thought you’d see. Unimaginable things. Things you’ll hope never to see again.
The Bill O’Reilly sex tapes on video. Another IHateTheMedia.com exclusive.
“They chant the slogan of change but no change is seen in practice. We haven’t seen any change.”
With those words, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected President Obama’s YouTube diplomacy, saying nothing would change between the two nations until America changes its policy. He was responding to a video message Obama had sent to Iran’s leaders.
“He (Obama) insulted the Islamic Republic of Iran from the first day. If you are right that change has come, where is that change? What is the sign of that change? Make it clear for us what has changed.”
“Should you change, our behavior will change too,” Khamenei said.
We don’t understand the problem here. The Iranians have huge rallies where they chant “Death to America.” And the Democrats seem to be doing everything they can to bring that about as quickly as possible.
What more do the Iranians want?

“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.”
Groucho Marx
American Philosopher
Obviously, Obama follows the teachings of Marx. This Marx. That Marx. Damn near any Marx.
The President took time out from his busy schedule of magazine cover photo shoots and late night TV appearances on Tuesday and made his NCAA men’s basketball tournament picks for ESPN. And that didn’t sit well with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.
“Somebody said that we’re not in President Obama’s Final Four,” Krzyzewski said, “and as much as I respect what he’s doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets.”
We say back off, Coach K. The more time this guy spends on basketball, the less time he’ll have to “stimulate” the economy.
Black lawmakers pitched a hissy fit and stormed out of the Georgia House on Friday claiming that white Republicans’ decision to delay a resolution honoring President Barack Obama had racist overtones. (Gasp)
They say it’s an intentional snub to the nation’s first black president. “It drips with racism,” Democrat Representative Al Williams said. “I call it just like it is.”
Republicans simply objected to the over-the-top wording that declared Obama to be a man of “unimpeachable reputation for integrity.”
“All we’ve requested is minor changes to the language,” Representative Austin Scott. But Democrats are resisting the revisions.
House Majority Leader Jerry Keen asked to “get this language recrafted.”
“Two or three words can be changed and this matter can be voted on,” another Republican said.
Please. Can’t we all just get along? We’d like to offer our services as peacemakers and wordsmiths in this dispute.
We suggest they simply re-word the resolution to declare that “President Obama is a man with an unimpeachable reputation for integrity except for that Tony Rezko thing and that socialist thing and maybe a few other insignificant items too minor to really get into here.”
That would satisfy everyone, wouldn’t it?

If you ever doubted that Keith Olbermann is insane, get over it. This is, perhaps, his most crazed “Worst Person In the World” segment ever.
Unbeknownst to Olbermann, someone opened a Twitter account in his name and now has 13,000 followers. Keith does not like this. He does not like it at all. So he blustered. His eyes bugged out. He twitched. He fell just short of foaming at the mouth. And then he named Twitter the Worst Person In the World.
And then, of course, he blamed Fox News.
Had they not run out of time, Olbermann would have continued blaming Fox for World War IX, kim chee, the Jonas Brothers, and his own sexual dysfunctions.
Holy crap. Or to be urologically correct, holy pee.
An Indian organization is launching a soft drink made of cow urine. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up. Here’s the story from the U.K. Times of London:
Does your Pepsi lack pep? Is your Coke not the real thing? India’s Hindu nationalist movement apparently has the answer: a new soft drink made from cow urine.
The bovine brew is in the final stages of development by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), India’s biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group, according to the man who makes it.
Om Prakash, the head of the department, said the drink – called “gau jal”, or “cow water” – in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory tests and would be launched “very soon, maybe by the end of this year”.
“Don’t worry, it won’t smell like urine and will be tasty too,” he told The Times from his headquarters in Hardwar, one of four holy cities on the River Ganges. “Its USP will be that it’s going to be very healthy. It won’t be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins.”
If this product is successful, the same company intends to launch a delicious line of cow pies in four fabulous flavors — Holstein, Brahma, Guernsey and Jersey.
Not really. We made that up. But we’re just sayin’…

The original cable news network now rests in fourth place in primetime – dead last – in the fierce fight for the coveted 25-to-54 demographic. On one recent night, they fell to fifth, trailing even CNBC.
Here’s how Portfolio.com explains CNN’s sad tale:
Through March 17, CNN trailed not only Fox News and MSNBC but also its own sister network, Headline News, on nine out of 17 days. On one day, March 13, CNN even drew fewer 25-to-54 viewers than CNBC — the first time that’s happened since November 2007. And of the eight days it finished higher than fourth in the demo, five were either Saturdays or Sundays, typically the lowest rated nights for the news networks.
Asked about the trend, a CNN spokeswoman offered a statement that emphasized the network’s long-term ratings growth — while ignoring the even sharper gains made by Fox News and MSNBC.
Blahblahblah. Let us sum this up for you simply: The lefter they go, the laster they get.

Just a few short weeks ago, we were told that Timothy Geithner was “the only man who understands how the TARP works.” His nomination was just toooooooo important to fail. The fate of the world rested in his capable hands.
Uh-oh. Now we find out he was the Einstein behind the AIG bonuses. It was his baby, baby.
Keep in mind, the number of Republicans who voted for this fiasco could meet in a phone booth.
Republican Senator Jim DeMint has had enough. He’s had it up to here. He’s calling on President Obama to cut his losses and send Geithner off on an early retirement before he does any more damage.
The first video shows Geithner ‘fessing up. The second video shows DeMint freaking out.
This is the most honest, remarkable, refreshing speech you’ve ever heard on the floor of the House of Representatives.
We’ve never heard of Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, a Republican from Michigan, until now. But we have a feeling we’ll be hearing a lot more from him in the future.
Here’s how McCotter ends his speech:
“Here’s the sad reality of where we are today. In a time of crisis they passed the Wall Street bailout, the nightmarish prognostications of myself and others have been exceeded. Now what we find is an attempt to cover ones tracks with another bill in a time of crisis that will leave no one–no one–safe from the hand of the taxman when the politicians come to cover their tracks at your expense. The public deserves better. The public deserves transparency. We cannot fail them again.”
Anyone seen our checkbook? We’re thinking of sending a McCotter a campaign contribution. This is the kind of guy we need to keep in Washington, DC.

WE HAVE A WINNER: Another tough choice this week, because there were some VERY funny entries. But we’ve decided the winner is Leslie of bluntpolitics.blogspot.com with the caption: “It really is an empty suit.” Continue reading “Weekend Caption Contest #2”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKlYT2bseII In case you haven’t see it yet, President Obama channeled Joe Biden last night and said something offensive and stupid on the Tonight Show.
Seems Obama went bowling while on the campaign trail last summer and embarrassed himself by rolling a 37. He explained to Jay Leno that he’s been practicing on the White House bowling alley, but said his lack of success is “like Special Olympics or something.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD0EcujFSn8 Next we have MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. He had seen an early NBC feed of the Tonight Show and was horribly dismayed by Obama’s remark. Not because it was offensive, but because it might damage the President. As Olbermann wailed mournfully to his guest “What do we do? What does he do about that?”
Of course, if President Bush had made the offensive comment, Olbermann would have known exactly what to do. No dithering. He would immediately have named Bush “Worst Person in the World.”
Finally, we’re proud to present a video that will show both President Obama and his apologist in chief exactly what bowling looks like in the Special Olympics. These kids are good, damn it.
Mrs. Editor of IHateTheMedia.com teaches autistic children. She wants to cordially invite President Obama to her school and so he can meet some of these kids and see the error of his ways.
She does not extend the same courtesy or invitation to Keith Olbermann.
By now you may have seen the 20-year old photo that surfaced this week. It shows a young Vladimir Putin posing as an innocent tourist, just casually running into President Reagan on the streets of Moscow. You know, back in the days when Vlad was an eager young KGB agent.
Pete Souza, who is now President Obama’s official photographer, snapped the photo in 1988 while working for the Reagan White House.
Who knows? Maybe it’s Putin, maybe it’s not. But what we find amazing is that we are the first to identify two other people in the photo.
We’ve labeled Putin as #1 in this photo. The man we’ve labeled as #2 appears to be actor Chris Noth of “Sex and the City” and “Law & Order.” The man we’ve labeled as #3 is definitely actor Karl Malden of “The Streets of San Francisco” and “Patton.” (Click image for larger photo.)
It’s well-known that the KGB often planted agents and had them portray ordinary Soviet citizens. But we now have photographic evidence that the Reagan White House played a tense game of diplomatic oneupsmanship and had actors portray agents.
Take that, Vladimir Putin.

No matter what the American press keeps telling us, the foreign press is growing less enchanted with Camelot every day. Especially the British press. And even more especially the Telegraph.
This administration is setting a torrid pace for screw-ups and misstatements and just plain dumb comments. It’s only been 60 days. Of course, we expected that when we got Joe Biden, but no one expected the greatest orator in history to foul up so often.
The Telegraph has compiled a list of the Top 10 gaffes by Obama and Biden.
Far as we can tell, the tough part must have been limiting the list to ten.
Above is the Telegraph’s choice as Number 10. To see the rest of the list, click here. Prepare to laugh.
It wasn’t an official strike, just a protest. But 100 or so members of the Screen Actors Guild picketed NBC’s Tonight Show in Burbank last night. And President Obama’s limo sped past them faster than Joe Biden putting his foot in his mouth.
Here’s how Variety explains it:
The protest was organized in hopes of bringing the issue of SAG’s contract stalemate to Obama’s attention. The Membership First faction of SAG has been urging members to vote down whatever deal’s sent out for ratification due to its perceived shortcomings in new media.
“I told the president’s office that there would be demonstrators outside NBC to alert him to the fact that many of our members won’t be able to make any living if this deal’s shoved down our throats,” said Scott Wilson, who organized the event.
SAG national board members Frances Fisher and Nancy Sinatra attended along with former board members Michael Bell and Susan Savage.
What a great story. It has Hollywood. It has unions. It has a floundering socialist president screwing Hollywood unions.
It has everything except someone to sympathize with.

Anchor Babe Courtney Friel of Fox News is the hottest woman on cable news. Here are a few photos of Courtney in her bikini.
Anchor Babe Courtney Friel of Fox News, the hottest of the Fox News Women Anchors, was interviewed recently by SoupCans. The anchor goddess answered the following question:
Soup: How did the gig with Fox News come about?
Friel: Well…I went on a date with Roger Ailes…OMG- I’m joking!! Actually, the process was pretty standard. My agent sent FOX a DVD which had 2 reels on it – entertainment and local news. Then I flew to NYC for an interview. Next I got an offer so I left LA and moved to the Big Apple! I’m in my third year at FNC already!
So does that mean she’s not going out with Roger Ailes? He hasn’t swept the most beautiful woman on television into his evil web of conservative conquests? Does it mean she’s available?
Maybe not. She also revealed in the interview that she’s married to some other TV guy blah-blah-blah. We really didn’t concentrate on that part of the interview.
Let’s make this clear right up front. We would leave our wives for Courtney. Is that so wrong?

The LA Times reports that our Fearless Leader set to receive the “Newsmaker of the Year” award this afternoon from the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a group of black publishers from across the nation. They’ll all get together at the White House, shake hands, and pose for all the photographers.
Oh, wait. They won’t pose for the photographers because the event has been closed to the press.
That’s right, the guy who claimed he was going to head up the most transparent administration in history is shutting the press out of the ceremony in which he’s being honored by the press.
The teleprompter must have called in sick today.

This is a tragic story. But let it serve as a chilling warning that the internet must remain free. Let’s just let the people who broke the story explain it in their own words:
Omid Reza Mir Sayafi, a 29-year old Iranian blogger and journalist died in Evin Prison in Tehran on March 18. In December, he was sentenced to two and half years in prison for allegedly insulting religious leaders, and engaging in propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Mir Sayafi was still awaiting an additional trial for insulting Islam.
According to the Human Rights activists in Iran website, Omid Reza suffered from deep depression in jail and was prescribed medications of which he apparently took too many. Dr. Hesam Firouzi, a jailed doctor and human rights activist says he urged prison authorities to send Omid Reza to a hospital outside prison but that prison doctors refused, and would not perform even basic tests.
A campaign has been launched in Facebook to “Hold Iran Responsible for Death of Blogger Mirsayafi in Prison”.
Blogger Mojtaba Saminejad says Omid Reza had communicated to him two days before his death that he would possibly be allowed to exit the prison in the coming days to visit a hospital. The blogger says he was led to expect better news than this.
Omid Reza said his blog was cultural and it was not his intention to insult anyone. The attached video is called “Iran: A Nation of Bloggers.”
No funny closing comments on this one. Our sympathies go out to Reza’s friends and family. And our best wishes to other Iranian bloggers currently being held in other Iranian prisons.

Did you catch habitual liar Keith Olbermann on the Tonight Show the other night? We didn’t think so.
The only thing interesting about it – other than Jay Leno’s continued race to the left – was the moment when Keith and Jay confessed to the fact that they are embarrassed by the their employers.
It went like this:
LENO: Can I ask you a dumb question? It’s called American Insurance Group? Is that the name?
OLB: I believe that’s it, yes.
LENO: Is this even an American company? Or is this one of these phony things where you’re chopping down trees and you call yourself The Evergreen Preservation Society?
OLB: It’s a brand name.
LENO: Is it even American at all?
OLB: It probably was at some point. But you know, when you go to initials, as you know, its usually a sign something’s changed. Just going by your initials you really don’t want to be identified as the company anymore.
What a bonehead. Would someone please point out to Olbermann that his employer is one of those companies that goes by initials instead of its full name.
And then would someone please point out to these two financial geniuses that it’s actually the American International Group, not the American Insurance Group.

Based on the really strange photos in the April issue of Details magazine, Alex Rodriguez has found his one true love. And it turns out to be none other than Alex Rodriguez.
Now we realize this guy has never been mistaken for a genius. And we realize that some people think Madonna looks like she’s been rode too hard and put away wet (did that line reveal too much about the childhood years we spent on the farm?). And we realize the baseball season is long and arduous and a man can get lonely on a two-week road trip to Detroit, Cleveland, and Baltimore.
But putting all that aside, what the hell was this Rodriguez thinking when he posed for these photos?
Ahh, we just realized the problem. We mistakenly thought there was thought involved. But then we remembered this was A-Rod.
Or as he’s now known in New York, A-Hole.

President Obama is wearing out his welcome with America’s television networks. Especially at Fox, home of his harshest critics.
The economy is struggling, advertising sales are dropping, ratings are sagging, and all the networks lose revenue every time Obama interrupts their regular primetime programming. But none are impacted as severly as Fox.
Obama always requests primetime coverage on Tuesday, the one night of the week that does the most damage to Fox.
Fox “owns” Tuesday nights thanks to its two-hour American Idol programming block. Next week the network will be forced to shift its line-up, pushing each of the regular “Idol” broadcasts back a day.
“At a time when we’re struggling not only financially but to build audiences, this doesn’t help on either front,” one network executive said. “These repeated interruptions — and the rumor of even more to come — really make it difficult to build audience flow and loyalty. We will all lose one or two million dollars for this.”
“I believe in the president and his policies, and as broadcasters we have a responsibility to provide the airtime,” said another network insider. “But these frequent primetime requests are wreaking serious havoc with our schedule and our advertisers. Ratings are down everywhere and the airtime is costing us all significant dollars when we can least afford it.”
So much for the “stimulus” plan.
But let’s get to the more important issues. Adam Lambert. Did you love his version of “Ring of Fire?” Or did you hate it?

Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY) didn’t know what he was getting into when he stepped in front of the CNBC cameras early this morning. Hosts Mark Haines and Erin Burnett invited the congressman on the show to discuss why he backs legislation to disallow the AIG bonuses.
First, Mark and Aaron jumped on Rangel about changing the compensation plan for a company in the middle of the game. But after Rangel was given a chance to defend his actions by claiming that AIG employees “violated the public trust” and “destroyed the economy,” the fireworks began as the conversation took a turn as Mark Haines went after him with a vengeance about his own alleged tax problems.
Haines turned the conversation with this: “With all due respect, congressman, when you talk about violating the public trust, you’ve had some tax issues of your own.” And that’s when the real fun and games started.
We love it. Some in the mainstream media are starting to grow a pair.
According to the latest issue of Forbes, Professor Richard Muller tools around uber liberal Berkeley in a Toyota Pirus.
Nothing out of place here, right? Wrong.
“It doesn’t save me money,” he explains. “It doesn’t help slow global warming. I just love the technology.” Muller, named a MacArthur genius in 1982, goes even further. He scoffs at the greens’ favorite energy theories and says people like Al Gore and Thomas Friedman are exaggerators of global warming, pure and simple.
Here at IHateTheMedia.com we wonder just what former future President Gore must think when he hears such blasphemy coming from an august professor.
The answer, obviously, is that Gore doesn’t think much (that sentence has two meanings and both of them are true).
Gore lives in a world of massive denial. To him, Professor Muller is just a dumb blond, Bill Clinton really didn’t have sex with that woman, and when Credence Clearwater sings ”Fortunate Son” the lyrics really say “I am a senator’s son.”

Sacha Baron Cohen, best known for playing “Borat,” has done it again. This time he talked his way onto an Alabama National Guard base by posing as the producer of a German documentary.
Cohen was eventually busted after being recognized by a cadet.
“It’s an embarrassment to the Alabama National Guard,” said Staff Sgt Katrina Timmons. “Since then we have put in protocols to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
Embarrassed National Guard officials fear the footage will end up in an upcoming movie featuring Cohen as Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion writer. The name of the film is “Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America For The Purpose Of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable In The Presence Of A Gay Foreigner In A Mesh T-Shirt.”
“He was treated like a member of the media and escorted around. He was put in a uniform like he requested to allow him to get a taste of what it was like to be an officer candidate,” Timmons ruefully admitted.
Cohen is a genius. Or a lunatic. Or both. We’re not sure.
