For the past week, I'm been trying to come up with a topper, but I haven't been able to. The competition for "Most Stupid" is fierce, but after Tuesday #1 remains untouched.
No, George Bush doesn't make that lofty height. Sure, appearing on TV game shows, dancing and doing comedy...

This is not really a case, as some have suggested, of throwing good money after bad.
Hillary Clinton's decision to dump another $6.4 million into her lifeless campaign actually makes an odd and devious kind of sense. Because for her the end game is no longer November, it's 2012....

Working at Us Weekly, I've become accustomed to accusations of sensationalism in celebrity journalism - some of which are not entirely untrue. Sure, we "flooded the zone" with Britney's breakdown, our Hills coverage has been prolific, and we do treat most flash-in-the-pan Hollywood hookups with breathless gusto. Us has been...

After a week in which a chorus of television pundits talked about the Rev. Wright controversy ad nauseam, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama introduced a proposal today to silence such repetitious discussions.
"I am proposing a gas-bag holiday," Sen. Obama told a capacity crowd in Indianapolis. "Under my plan, all...

In the aftermath of the Reverend Wright tornado, many of Barack Obama's most ardent supporters have begun to feel a bit of trepidation, a kind of uncertainty that is deeply unsettling. What was easily the most trying week for the Obama campaign appeared to follow a week that was nearly...

With so much at stake -- Iraq, the economy, global warming -- how is it the presidential campaign descended into a parade of irrelevancies? The media know better. Is there is anyone working for a media organization (new, traditional, left, right) who genuinely believes that Jeremiah Wright's views on HIV,...

In an act that campaign insiders said indicated an irrevocable break with his former pastor, Sen. Barack Obama today de-friended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Facebook.
Sen. Obama's comments about Rev. Wright on Tuesday seemed to indicate that a total rift with his former minister was underway, but his decision...

At a press conference yesterday afternoon, Barack Obama publicly divorced himself from his former pastor, calling Jeremiah Wright's controversial comments inexcusable rants, destructive, outrageous and appalling. Obama appeared to take the appropriate tone and has received, thus far, mostly positive reviews throughout the blogosphere and in the mainstream media.
The...

Excuse me, but I have something to say about the Reverend Wright scandal.
Hello? Maybe you didn't hear me: I said, I have something to say about the Reverend Wright scandal.
"Reverend Who," you ask? Reverend Wright. (Maybe they're not covering him in your media market?) He's a goofball who...

Barack Obama has just done a difficult - and necessary - thing. He has ended his relationship with Rev. Wright. I watched most of Sen. Obama's press conference (missed the very beginning but heard most of his opening remarks and all the questions he took) and am now listening to...

I do not presume to judge anyone else's method of worship. I do know bad timing when I see it and Reverend Jeremiah Wright's pre-primary media blitz seems designed, unintentionally or not, to benefit John McCain, while distracting from the real issues of the campaign (four-dollar gasoline, war, recession, health...

Tune in today to the Latest Talking Head.
Obama and the media, particularly those who welcome his new low impact politics, could (and should) be applauding Rev. Wright's very public testing of one of the most celebrated and quintessentially American rights of this great country of ours: the freedom of...

Harken back to June, 1992. Bill Clinton was having trouble with Reagan democrats. Then Sister Souljah, an outspoken rapper and political activist, made some very incendiary comments in a Washington Post interview regarding the horrific LA riots. "If black people kill black people every day, why not have a week...
