Television: August 2008 Archives
Remember this classic spat between fey legend Gayle King and her best friend Oprah Winfrey about the meaning of Paul Simon's "Graceland" on their unforgettable road trip? I sure do. Thank god they finally resolved this dispute and lived happily ever after!
Last night, Matthew Mitcham, the only openly gay male athlete at this year's Olympics, won the gold medal for diving. But you wouldn't know it from watching NBC, aka the No Buttboys Channel.
NBC did not mention Mitcham's orientation, nor did they show his family and partner who were in the stands. NBC has made athletes' significant others a part of the coverage in the past, choosing to spotlight track athlete Sanya Richards' fiancee, a love triangle between French and Italian swimmers and Kerri Walsh's wedding ring debacle.This is an absolute outrage. To calm you down, check out sexxxy speedo photos of Matt after the button pressy.
Remember how it pays off to work hard and play by the rules? Apparently this American axiom has never been translated into CHINESE. Once again, the cheatey Chinese women's gymnastics team aided by an idiot Australian judge stole another GOLD MEDAL away from Nastia Liukin and the USA. It happened just one day after Alicia Sacramone was robbed of a medal in favor of another Chinese cheater in a cloud of anti-American bias. So last night, Nastia "Al Gore" Liukin and He "Princess of the Crazy Uneven Bars" Kexin ended their routines with tied scores. But because of an idiotic tie-breaking formula, the terrifying baby HE got the gold. Apparently the bars weren't the only uneven things in this competition! This is an absolute outrage.
It all came down to the scoring from Aussie judge Helen Colagiuri, who gave Nastia Liukin a lower score than He by .3 points, a greater margin than any other judge. Australia's answer to Katherine Harris ought to be stripped of her credentials immediately.
ALSO, He is obviously 8 years old like everyone else on this cheatey team. Despite the fact that gymnasts have to be turning 16 in the year of the Olympics and that every other country has konstantly komplained, the International Gymnastics Federation refuses to do anything about the Chinese cheaters. Its Secretary-General said:
"We heard these rumours and we immediately wrote to the Chinese gymnastics federation. They immediately sent a copy of the passport, showing the age, and everything is OK. That's all we can check."
Oh please. This verification system is about as effective as the UN. Mark my words, the fight for justice is NOT over!!!
First he cheated on his crippled wife and now he's cheated on America's favorite pastor! At last weekend's Saddleback Forum, John McCain was NOT in a "cone of silence" after assuring everyone, including pastor Rick Warren, that he was in a soundproof room Ricki Lake-style during Barack Obama's interview. According to the NYT:
Now can the Democrats please step out of their own self-imposed "cone of silence" and start attacking this cheating, lying, angry, old POW ASAP??!The matter is of interest because Mr. McCain, who followed Mr. Obama’s hourlong appearance in the forum, was asked virtually the same questions as Mr. Obama. Mr. McCain’s performance was well received, raising speculation among some viewers, especially supporters of Mr. Obama, that he was not as isolated during the Obama interview as Mr. Warren implied.
Nicolle Wallace, a spokeswoman for Mr. McCain, said on Sunday night that Mr. McCain had not heard the broadcast of the event while in his motorcade and heard none of the questions.
“The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous,” Ms. Wallace said.
Not only is Beth one of the greatest actresses of all time, she is also an active Southern Democrat who served as the "celebrity coordinator" for Jimmy Carter's 1976 presidential campaign.
Courtney Thorne-Smith better watch her back because Beth Grant is poised to eclipse CT-S as Hollywood's Wealthiest Woman!
Some incredibly sharp insights from Washington's favorite middle class moralist Cokie Roberts on Sunday’s This Week:
1) Everyone
knows
2)
3) Visiting old grandmothers is lame
I would've watched this, but duh.
