Joy Behar sees racism in “Black Friday.” Can “White Christmas” be far behind?

We’re not sure what’s worse about this video clip. Was it Joy Behar questioning the hidden racist meaning in the term “Black Friday” or Whoppi Goldberg revealing that she was “going commando”?

We’re not sure what’s worse about this video clip. Was it Joy Behar questioning the hidden racist meaning in the term “Black Friday” or Whoppi Goldberg revealing that she was “going commando”?

Here. Read the dialogue while we recover from that thought.

Goldberg: Oh, hello and welcome to ‘The View.’ Today is Black Friday, all day long. And I’m going to stay black all day because of it. 

Behar: Isn’t it a little racist to call it Black Friday? 

Goldberg: Well, I would have called it African American Friday, but that’s taking something away from it.

Behar: But there’s a negative connotation to it? Or does it mean something else?

Goldberg: No, it’s like when you make all the money – you’re in the black. 

Behar: So it’s positive? 

Goldberg: Yeah. It’s in the black, so it’s a huge great thing. 

Behar: A lot of times, like blackmail is negative, black sheep.

Goldberg: Black people. 

Behar: No, not black people. 

Goldberg: But it used to be, it used to be.

Believe it or not, that was the intellectual part of the conversation. It degenerated from there. Rapidly.

Simple explanation: Glenn Beck exposes the global warming email scandal

The left likes to laugh at Glenn Beck’s histrionics, but the guy has a knack for simplifying the incredibly complex.

In this clip, he explains all the collusion and all the conspiracy revealed in the emails that were “liberated” from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University.

Liberal media circle jerk: Newsweek invites NBC’s Brian Williams to stroke Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart

Newsweek decided to do a story on “New Thought Leaders” and invited prominent people to talk about them. Jon Stewart (believe it or not) was ranked #2 and NBC News anchor Brian Williams got all gooey about Jon Stewart.

Newsweek decided to do a story on “New Thought Leaders” and invited prominent people to talk about them. Jon Stewart (believe it or not) was ranked #2 and NBC News anchor Brian Williams got all gooey about Jon Stewart.

Our advice: Stand back so you don’t get any on you.

In just the span of a short few years, Jon Stewart has gone from optional to indispensable. Case in point: when Jon went all Glenn Beck on Jim Cramer a few months back. A few of us blanched. Getting pissed, brimming with bile—that was so . . . MSM of him. And yet, in the niche-y, hip, and in-the-know world of late-night, media-skewering comedy, it had the impact of Cronkite turning against Vietnam … The old arc of a news story went like this: News happens. Media cover news. Audience reacts, then turns in for the night. For the past several years, however, there’s been another step added to the end of the process: being held to account for our faults by a comedy show with a sharp eye and a sharp tongue. How did we live without it?

Yeah, that’s pretty barf-inducing. But it gets worse and we expect your never-ending thanks for revealing this next item so you don’t have to waste any time reading it for yourself:

Newsweek also invited New York Times columnist Gail Collins to drool over Hilary Clinton as the #10 New Thought Leader.

Pardon us, but we think we’ll stick with the same old thoughts.

Chicago heartache: Michelle and Oprah hate each other

A distraught Oprah Winfrey is telling pals her “thank you” for helping Barack Obama win the presidency has been a knife in the back.

 Michelle Obama is jealous of her.

The Most Glamorous First Lady In History gives Oprah Winfrey the evil eye
The Most Glamorous First Lady In History gives Oprah Winfrey the evil eye

We’ve been crying our damn eyes out over this one — wishing, hoping, dreaming that it’s not true, but knowing in our heart of hearts that it probably is.

The National Enquirer reports:

A distraught Oprah Winfrey is telling pals her “thank you” for helping Barack Obama win the presidency has been a knife in the back.



A jealous first lady has frozen the talk queen out of the White House inner circle, say insiders. “Oprah is devastated,” revealed a friend.



“She had no idea that Michelle was so jealous about the influence she had on Barack. She hated the way her husband would huddle with Oprah over strategy and jump when she called. 



“The jealousy and anger was eating up Michelle. During the campaign, she vowed Oprah would not be a part of the new administration.
 


“Oprah had visions of being a close adviser to the president and a regular visitor to the White House. She was actually planning to redecorate the famous Lincoln bedroom, which is reserved for special guests of the first family. 



“But in the first 10 months of the Obama administration, Oprah has visited the White House only twice, and one visit was for a business meeting to do an interview with Michelle for O magazine.

We know what you’re thinking – it’s just the National Enquirer. But these guys were right all along about John Edwards and the baby mama, so who are we to doubt them?

Next week: The Enquirer reveals that Malia and Sasha are the result of Michelle’s encounter of the fourth kind with reptilian aliens.

Moron Montel Williams fears America will send Muslims to internment camps

Remember back when Montel Williams promoted his sleazy TV show the the slogan, “Montel brings people together”? Well, apparently, he’s against bringing them together in internment camps. Especially if they’re Muslim.

Remember back when Montel Williams promoted his sleazy TV show the the slogan, “Montel brings people together?”

Well, apparently, he’s against bringing them together in internment camps. Especially if they’re Muslim.

Here’s an excerpt from his conversation with Frank Farley of Temple University:

Williams: We pulled something like this back in World War II when we decided to round up all Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps…The [anti-Muslim] rhetoric… could get out of hand. What do you think?

Farley: I agree totally… The possibilities of prejudice and racism and so on are incredible here. We should be treating this as a unique incident and look at the factors involved in this very unique and specific incident and not overgeneralize. Unfortunately, we tend to overgeneralize all the time. The idea that all Muslims are the same is ridiculous…

Williams: Even if it comes out… that his frame of reference was his religion and that was what was giving him the power within himself to make his stand, that doesn’t mean that the religion is to blame.

Farley: Absolutely, his interpretation [of Islam] may vary dramatically from [that of] his fellow Muslims.

Let us state very clearly that we are opposed to internment camps for Muslims.

On the other hand, interment camps for Air America hosts isn’t such a bad idea.

CNN says it’s impartial, but its audience says otherwise

CNN proudly claims its brand was built on impartial reporting. But the compositon of its audience says otherwise. Fact is, its audience tilts to the left even more than Fox News audience tilts to the right.

Now that Lou Dobbs is leaving CNN, the network's direction is clear
Now that Lou Dobbs is leaving CNN, the network's direction is clear

CNN proudly claims its brand was built on impartial reporting. But the compositon of its audience says otherwise. Fact is, its audience tilts to the left even more than Fox News audience tilts to the right.

Breitbart.com did a very interesting analysis of CNN’s audience:

Statistically, CNN’s audience is far from nonpartisan.

Of people who say their main source of news is CNN, 46 percent identify themselves as Democrats and 13 percent as Republicans, according to a July survey by the Pew Research Center (the rest say they’re independent or don’t identify themselves politically). The same study found that Fox’s main source audience was 38 percent Republican and 18 percent Democratic.

To a certain degree, it stands to reason: If so many Republicans find Fox a comfortable home, there are fewer remaining for CNN, particularly in a country where Democrats have an enrollment edge.

One-third of news viewers questioned by Pew this fall said they didn’t perceive CNN as advancing an ideology, more than Fox (24 percent) or MSNBC (27 percent). Still, 37 percent of those questioned view CNN as liberal, and 11 percent as conservative.

We don’t want to say CNN’s audience is shrinking, but if it loses any more viewers, future pollsters won’t be able to put together a valid, representative sample.

Lou Dobbs lobs grenade, walks out on CNN contract

Controversial CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, whose CNN contract runs through 2011, unexpectedly announced his “retirement” – effective immediately – on his Wednesday show.

Controversial CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, whose CNN contract runs through 2011, unexpectedly announced his “retirement” – effective immediately – on his Wednesday show.

Over the past six months, it’s become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us.

And some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond my role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving, as well as to contribute positively to a better understanding of the great issues of our day. And to continue to do so in the most direct and honest language possible.

“Going beyond my role here at CNN”. Translation: I’m tired of serving as a punching bag for illegal alien rights groups with no support from CNN’s management.

What’s next for Dobbs? A new show on Fox? A political career? Working the red carpet at next year’s Latin Grammy Awards?

Stay tuned.

Fourth and long for the Taliban: Fox airs NFL pre-game show from Afghanistan

You’ll like this football story even if you’re not a football fan. In honor of Veteran’s Day, the whole FOX Sports NFL crew went to Afghanistan Sunday and broadcast their show live for the troops.

You’ll like this football story even if you’re not a football fan.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, the whole FOX Sports NFL crew went to Afghanistan Sunday and broadcast their show live for the troops.

“It’s been so surreal, it’s hard to describe,” Fox analyst Michael Strahan said of the trip. “To witness so many young, smart, committed and capable men and women is inspiring. We’re here to show our appreciation for their service and sacrifice, and all they want to do is show their appreciation to us for coming here.”

The idea for the show came about when Fox Sports chairman David Hill was passing through the airport in Dallas last spring. He noticed military personnel walking through the terminal were going mostly unnoticed, and he wanted to do something about it.

Here’s a salute to Hill and the entire Fox crew.

Chris Matthews frets, “Where have all the Obama-ites gone?”

Chris Matthews turned into Sybil, alternating back and forth between snarling maniac and jilted lover, pathetic loser and delusional winner. Here he virtually begs White House correspondent to give him some good news.

Matthews: But Chuck, let me get back to you again. Is there such a thing as an Obama believer? In other words, is there a set of beliefs he holds which can be shared by other politicians of the Democratic Party?

Todd: You know, it’s funny you say that. I think right now you’re seeing an argument on the left take place where you’re seeing some criticism of the President — “Hey, where’s all the change?” So I think this is all trying — I think they’re all trying to figure this out. The White House seems to be about, and this President seems to be about pragmatism and — you know, trying to get something done, trying to figure out a solution in Afghanistan, trying to compromise and get health care through.

But you’re right, there isn’t this core set of principles that were so easy to say and do — “change you can believe in” in 2008. I think he’s struggling to translate that to policy. We’re seeing it, this whole Organizing for America wing of the DNC is struggling to work correctly. I think they haven’t figured it out.

Best damn thing we’ve seen on MSNBC in years.

Katie Couric interviews Al Gore, the smartest man in the world who was never president

In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore’s grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush’s transcript from Yale.


Rather than making any smartass remarks about this video, we’ll turn it over to the Washington Post:

“In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore’s grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush’s transcript from Yale. That was the year Gore’s classmates remember him spending a notable amount of time in the Dunster House basement lounge shooting pool, watching television, eating hamburgers and occasionally smoking marijuana. His grades temporarily reflected his mildly experimental mood, and alarmed his parents. He received one D, one C-minus, two C’s, two C-pluses and one B-minus, an effort that placed him in the lower fifth of the class for the second year in a row.”

In the words of Homer Simpson, “Mmmmmm. Hamburgers.”

New rallying cry at CNN: “We’re number 31! We’re number 31!”

The former number one cable news network – the people who invented the business – dropped out of the top 30 prime time cable networks during the last week of October.

It’s hard to imagine how far and how fast CNN has fallen on hard times.

The former number one cable news network – the people who invented the business – dropped out of the top 30 prime time cable networks during the last week of October.

As Mediaite explains it:

For the first time in more than two years, CNN fell out of the top 30 cable channels last week in prime time (total viewers). Fox News ranked 3rd, behind USA and ESPN, while MSNBC was 26th. It was the 43rd consecutive week Fox News finished in the top 5 cable channels in prime time.

In total day, FNC was #5, CNN #27 and MSNBC #31.

To rub a little salt in the wound, CNN finished fourth among cable news networks on election night.

Correction: Make that a lot of salt.

We now have proof that Chris Matthews not only loves President Obama for his body, but for his mind. Consider the following conversation between Newsweek’s Howard Fineman and the MSNBC host.

Matthews: He’s hung back at a point that’s almost driven us crazy. He has let Harry Reid carry the ball.
Fineman: Well, Chris, one of the things…
Matthews: Is that smart?
Fineman: I think it may turn out to be. I’ve been like you, all over cable TV saying, “How come he isn’t out there pounding away at this? He ought to do it like Ronald Reagan and have four points and pound!”
Matthews: Right, right.
Fineman: That’s not Barack Obama.
Matthews: I know.
Fineman: He is…one of his great qualities, whether you like him or not, is patience. And he’s playing a very patient game here.
Matthews: Howard, is he smarter? Howard, is he smarter than us?
Fineman: Of course, he is. Much smarter!

Yes, Chris Matthews undoubtedly has frequent fantasies of Barack Obama pounding. If you know what we mean.

Who cares if Obama is Kenyan? We want to know if he’s Reptilian?

It’s a thinly-veiled commentary on the Obama administration. The bad guys are alien reptiles who bear a very strong resemblance to a certain socialist administration.

Even if you aren’t a science fiction fan you should check out “V,” the new series on ABC-TV.

Why? It’s a thinly-veiled commentary on the Obama administration. The bad guys are alien reptiles who bear a very strong resemblance to a certain socialist administration.

Don’t take our word for it. Here’s an excerpt from a review in the Chicago Tribune:

Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.

The news media swoons in admiration — one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: “Why don’t you show some respect?!” The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader’s origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: “Embracing change is never easy.”

So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait — did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who’s come here to eat us?

Welcome to ABC’s “V,” the most fascinating and bound to be the most controversial new show of the fall television season. Nominally a rousing sci-fi space opera about alien invaders bent on the conquest (and digestion) of all humanity, it’s also a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the president’s supporters and delight his detractors.

ABC has committed to four episodes of “V.” If it does well, they’ll renew it. Unfortunately, the Obama administration can’t be canceled for three more years.

“Cheers” was a very funny television show. But it was a damn drama compared to what Joy Behar puts on the air every Monday to Friday night.

Clearly, Cheers star Ted Danson is too stupid to understand the irony of an entertainer involved in politics complaining that another entertainer is involved in politics.

The combination of Joy Behar’s sparkling wit and Ted Danson’s glittering intelligence is a marvel to behold.
