Politics: May 2008 Archives
Harri Anne Smith might be our new feyvorite candidate for Congress this year (obvz with the exceptions of Scott Kleeb and ultra-pridey Kay Barnes!!!). If elected, this saucy Alabama Republican will stand up to those ingrate middle eastern sheiks AND lower our taxes. Yes, she HATES taxes! And she hates brown people too!
Viva Harri Anne!
Viva Harri Anne!
Your fey friends are PROUD to announce our first congressional candidate endorsement of 2008!! It's brokeback hottie Scott Kleeb, who is running for the U.S. Senate from the great state of Nebraska. You might remember him from his smoking hot 2006 house campaign. I know I do! We will gladly approve his message...if you know what I mean!!!

Republican disaster Jeanine Pirro is getting her own judge show! "Judge Jeanine Pirro" is debuting next September and promises to deliver a "fresh face with a distinctive voice" to rise above the overcrowded judge show market. Usually a requirement for these kind of jobs is a semi-positive relationship with the law. Check and check. Pirro sure knows a lot about the legal system. The former Westchester District Attorney has been under state and federal criminal investigation for hiring former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik (remember him?) to arrange an illegal recording of her husband, who she suspected of adultery. Oops. But that was just one lapse, right?
In the 1990s, Al Pirro cheated on Jeanine and fathered a child out of wedlock! But to Jeanine, nothing says I'm sorry like tax evasion and a boatload of really expensive gifts. Al was convicted of income tax fraud in 2000 and spent 11 months behind bars. Jeanine, who was serving as DA at the time, signed those illegal taxes too even though she was let off the hook. Here are some details from New York magazine:
Though she co-signed several of the couple's joint tax returns, she has offered no explanations. Not about the Mercedes, which she drives each day past the $40,000 electronic gates of her $1.7 million Harrison home -- gates Al claimed as a business deduction -- or about the deductions of a $3,700 backyard awning; $10,000 in furnishings for a West Palm Beach vacation home; another Mercedes, for Jeanine's mother; cruise tickets; stereos; fine wines; cigars; toys; and even salaries for workers who baby-sat the Pirro children, picked up the dry cleaning, and took the family's pot-bellied pigs to the vet.
I, for one, can't wait to see Jeanine's "fresh" face again every weekday!
