Let’s just say this discussion makes Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” seem like Sesame Street. As one Aussie guest said, “I’m clearly not on American television tonight.”
Obama, our office cat, watched this video with us and the little pervert is now giving off some very strange vibes.

BP executives, including Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, CEO Tony Hayward and BP U.S. boss Lamar McKay, were seen walking into the West Wing of the White House just before 10 a.m. ET for talks with Obama that were scheduled to last 20 minutes.
Reuters has the details of the first Oval Office quickie since Bill met Monica:
President Barack Obama will confront BP Plc on Wednesday with a demand that it set aside billions of dollars to pay damages from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the worst in U.S. history.
BP executives, including Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, CEO Tony Hayward and BP U.S. boss Lamar McKay, were seen walking into the West Wing of the White House just before 10 a.m. ET for talks with Obama that were scheduled to last 20 minutes.
20 minutes? Here’s what happens in 20 minutes. You usher the three BP officials into the Oval Office, everyone introduces themselves, they shake hands, take their seats, Barack gives the White House steward his coffee order and the BP officials give him their tea orders, Obama thanks them for coming, tells them he certainly didn’t mean it when he threatened to kick someone’s ass and “How about that Laker game last night”, the coffee and tea arrive too late for them to drink it, they stand up, shake hands again and leave.
That’s 20 minutes.
When Obama said the Gusher in the Gulf was like 9-11, it was obviously a typo. It was supposed to read “the oil spill is like 9+11.”

Here’s his skewed, but mercifully short take on North Carolina Democrat Congressman Bob Ethriddge.
We don’t know how to break this to the Democrats gently, so we’ll just be blunt: It looks like Democrats are dumb enough to vote for Alvin Greene.
According to a new Rasmussen poll, Republican Jim DeMint leads Democrat Alvin Greene by a 37% margin.
Here’s how Rasmussen describes the situation:
While South Carolina Democrats fret over how an unemployed political unknown with a felony charge hanging over him won their party’s Senate nomination, the first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the general election contest finds incumbent Republican Senator Jim DeMint far in the lead.
DeMint, who is seeking a second six-year term, earns support from 58% of Likely Voters in South Carolina, while Democratic nominee Alvin Greene picks up 21% of the vote. Nine percent (9%) like some other candidate, and 13% are undecided.
Rasmussen says DeMint is “far in the lead”, but we don’t think that’s the real story told by this survey.
The Democrats – nationally and in South Carolina – insist that Greene must be a Republican plant, that a dimwit like this couldn’t possibly win their primary honestly, that their voters can’t possibly be dumb enough to give him their votes, that voter fraud was committed with magnets.
Yet according to Rasmussen, Greene would still garner 21% of the votes if the election were held today even though his own party calls him a fraud and he’s revealed himself to be, shall we say, less than a genius.
There are 2,585,911 registered voters in South Carolina. voter turn-out was 34.6% in the last non-presidential general election. If these totals hold up in this election, it means that Greene’s 21% of the vote translates into 187,892 votes, which is, of course, substantially more than he received in the primary.
We don’t know how to break this to the Democrats gently, so we’ll just be blunt: It looks like Democrats are dumb enough to vote for Alvin Greene.

No one should have been surprised by Thomas’ outburst. Despite the White House’s tepid relatively condemnation of Thomas, the fact is that she was merely parroting what Barack Obama believes.
Helen Thomas said of the Israelis, “Tell ‘em to get the hell out of Palestine. Remember these people are occupied and it’s their land. It’s not Germany. It’s not Poland. They could go home to Poland, Germany, and America. And everywhere else.”

Note this quote from his June 4, 2009 speech to the Muslim world in Cairo:
On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people — Muslims and Christians — have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For more than 60 years they’ve endured the pain of dislocation. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead. They endure the daily humiliations — large and small — that come with occupation. So let there be no doubt: The situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. And America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own. (Applause.)
This quote comes from WhiteHouse.gov and we really appreciate the way the White House emphasized that the Muslim audience applauded the line about the Jewish occupiers.

You’ve got to hand it to the long suffering nation of Israel. After a week that has seen them viciously maligned for performing the minimum efforts necessary to guarantee their existence, they have responded with kindness and by easing certain restrictions of a three year old blockade pertaining to Gaza.

Heraldnet reveals the details:
Palestinian official Raed Fattouh, who coordinates the flow of goods into Gaza with Israel, said soda, juice, jam, spices, shaving cream, potato chips, cookies and candy were now permitted. He said military officials began approving the expanded list of permitted products in meetings with Palestinian liaison officials last week.
Of course, when we heard that one of the items now being allowed into Gaza was shaving cream we were a little bit curious. After all, shaving cream would hardly seem to be a staple of an area where most of the men wear beards and wear them long.
But then we remembered that Rosie O’Donnell supports the destruction of Israel. And if there’s even the slightest chance that the queen of mean could show up to protest the nefarious Jewish practice of resisting a second Holocaust, then the need for a product intended to remove excess facial hair becomes immediately apparent.

It’s kind of like the situation the Japanese faced in 1944. We were kicking their asses all across the Pacific and their leaders kept telling themselves, “If we can just get the Americans into one final, decisive battle, we can still win this thing.”
Obama’s people see themselves getting their asses kicked in all the polls and they keep telling themselves, “If we can just get the Big Guy to deliver one final, decisive speech, we can still win this thing.”
We aren’t speaking Japanese. And Obama and the Democrats aren’t speaking a language Americans want to hear anymore.

In case you doubted that government bureaucrats are committed to controlling every aspect of our lives, please be aware that they’ve now categorized milk as a pollutant.
In case you doubted that government bureaucrats are committed to controlling every aspect of our lives, please be aware that they’ve now categorized milk as a pollutant.
Northern Michigan’s Channel 9 has the details:
The Environmental Protection Agency intends to classify milk as a hazardous waste; in the same category as oil.
That means, farmers would have to come up with an oil spill prevention plan which could cost them thousands of dollars.
The Senate Agricultural Committee passed a resolution today urging the EPA to take back those regulations.
This new interpretation of the EPA’s Clean Water Act will require dairy farmers to develop oil spill prevention plans for their milk storage tanks.
As one farmer said in the video, “The majority of milk is water, in the high 80s percentile is water. The rest of it, three and one half percent, is solids of the fat and a portion of that is oil. And because of that small amount of oil in milk they’d like to relate it to motor oil or fuel oil and put it in the same category.”
To put this in terms a dairy farmer would appreciate, bureaucrats are good for only one thing: sucking from the government teat.

Poor Al Gore. This just isn’t his month. First his wife dumps him like a globally-warmed potato and now the United States and Russia have agreed to let native peoples kill polar bears.
The Anchorage Daily News has the details:
A joint commission is recommending lifting the ban on harvesting polar bears for traditional and cultural purposes in Russia.
The U.S.-Russia Polar Bear Commission met this week in Anchorage to determine the potential for a coordinated and sustainable subsistence harvest of polar bears by Native peoples of Alaska and Chukotka in Russia. The commission determined that the harvest should be limited to up to 58 polar bears a year, with no more than 19 being females.
So it turns out Al Gore may have been right after all. The polar bears are endangered, but it ain’t global warming that’s going to kill them. It’s Eskimos.

Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman just didn’t know what to make of President Obama’s Oval Office Address on the Gusher in the Gulf. But they knew they didn’t like it.

Olbermann: “It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days.”
Matthews: compared Obama to Carter.
Olbermann: “Nothing specific at all was said.”
Matthews: “No direction.”
Fineman: “He wasn’t specific enough.”
Olbermann: “I don’t think he aimed low, I don’t think he aimed at all. It’s startling.”
Fineman: Obama should be acting like a “commander-in-chief.”Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. “I’ll barf if he does it one more time.”
Matthews: “A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk.”
Matthews: “I don’t sense executive command.”
Say goodnight, Mr. President. When you’ve lost MSNBC, you’ve lost several dozen Americans.

Al Gore’s split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage was a shock to everyone who thought theirs was the ideal marriage. Now Star can exclusively reveal that the former Vice President was having an affair with Larry David’s ex-wife — for the past two years!
Aha! Didn’t you just know that it was going to come out that Al Gore had an affair with some Hollywood bimbo?
Of course, we have to admit that we thought he’d pick a younger one. You know, one whose hot flashes wouldn’t contribute to global warming.
Star Magazine spills the beans on the horn dog Goracle:
Al Gore’s split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage was a shock to everyone who thought theirs was the ideal marriage. Now Star can exclusively reveal that the former Vice President was having an affair with Larry David’s ex-wife — for the past two years!
In the June 28 issue of Star, on sale Wednesday, we report that Al and Tipper’s breakup didn’t come as much of a surprise to one Hollywood player — Laurie David. Star has learned that Al has been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David in 2007 amidst reports she was cheating with the caretaker of their Martha’s Vineyard summer home.
“Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers,” an insider tells Star. “It couldn’t be avoided.”
These two lunatics are made for each other. Check out our earlier stories on Laurie David here and here.
Just imagine that pillow talk, “Gore me, big boy, gore me. Explore my sensitive wetlands. Make my globes hotter than they’ve been since my medieval warming period. Park your Prius in my garage.”
Sorry. We’ve gone too far even for us. Pardon us while we go throw up.

Obama.I’m surprised you haven’t met him.
I know. I love him. Hopefully I’ll meet him sometime. I’m just happy he exists.Do you think Tea Party is just people who are pissed that there is an African American president?
Yup, and the fact that they chose to call themselves “teabaggers,” which is slang for a certain act involving b***s. It sort of says a lot. I would say a mouthful. Looks like it’s very upsetting for them, but he’s brilliant. The thing is, he’s half white but that’s still not enough — for them it’s all white or f**k off. I think we don’t deserve him and certainly teabaggers don’t deserve him.
Well, there you have it. Whatever it is, if Carrie Fisher is against it, we’re for it.

President Obama flexed his sinewy diplomatic muscles and declared that Israel’s Gaza blockade cannot be sustained and must be lifted. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said no way.
President Obama flexed his sinewy diplomatic muscles and declared that Israel’s Gaza blockade cannot be sustained and must be lifted.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said (and this is a very loose translation), “Hold your horses, Hussein.” He knows lifting the blockade will strengthen Hamas.
Haaretz reports the latest Mid East diplomatic dust-up:
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is opposed to lifting the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip because this would bolster Hamas, according to what he told United States President Barack Obama during their meeting at the White House Wednesday. Egypt also supports this position.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once more put off announcing the creation of a committee of inquiry into the naval commando raid on the Gaza Strip flotilla, and the matter will not be brought before the cabinet for a vote this morning.
Netanyahu and his advisers had hoped to announce the establishment of a committee of inquiry as early as yesterday evening for a vote in the cabinet today. Nonetheless, the Prime Minister’s Bureau said yesterday evening that the conditions have not matured for such an announcement “due to political reasons.”
Unfreakinbelievable. We’re left with the remarkable spectacle of the Israel agreeing with the “moderate” terrorists and the our President siding with the “radical” terrorists.

“When,” Crowley asked, “does the statute of limitations run out on blaming the Bush administration and when is it on you all as the governing — really in the House and the Senate and the White House. When does the economy your baby, so to speak?”
There had to have ben a brief moment when Clyburn did a little internal double take and thought to himself, “What? What? WTF? They’re not supposed to ask Democrats tough questions like that on CNN.”

Weiner used the goats to highlight his desire to slash an outdated federal subsidy on mohair, but he ended up being the one who got slashed.
Lancelot, one of the goats, turned on the congressman and gored his hand with one of his pointy, foot-long horns, breaking the skin and drawing blood.
We would have paid good money to see Lancelot the goat gore the annoying New York congressman.

Greene Threatens Sarah Palin as Worst Speaker in Politics
He’s just trying to talk about something, frankly.
Alvin Greene, the surprise Democratic nominee for Senate in South Carolina, has a way with words. It’s the way, though, of Sarah Palin and George W. Bush—a tortured relationship with the English language that prevents him from making his points, and that says to voters he may not be up to the job.
Facing calls from fellow Democrats to drop out of the race—and even charges that he is a Republican patsy—Greene doesn’t help his cause with a front-page story in today’s Washington Post, where his verbal difficulties are on abundant display. From the candidate’s home in Manning, S.C., reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia lets Greene’s style speak for itself…
Where’s Dr. Kevorkian when we need him? This slow, painful death that Newsweek is going through is actually becoming painful to watch.
