The Hollywood Reporter has hinted that several producers are looking for the right vehicle for Sarah Palin, should she be "available" after the election.

Among the possibilities are:

A news program on Fox
"Red, White and Gucci"

An afternoon talk show
"The White Oprah"

Or a reality series featuring the entire Palin family
"Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?"

Actually that one's already taken.

Unlike the other games though, in place of competition they will be basically be working together to deal with

high hurdles, long shots and just pain treading water.

The polls continue to show falling numbers for the GOP and the "Republican Male" is feeling a bit 'down'.

Not to fear. It's happened before.

After a failed 1996 bid for the White House, Bob Dole reversed the sagging 'ego's' of these red blooded Republican males when he began shilling for Pfizer and doing Viagra ads.

If the Republicans end up losing this election, look for a similar 'rise' in attitude soon after with ...

"Sarah in the Morning"

The new star of Right Wing talk radio. Guaranteed to get you up and raring to go.

Republican housewives. Hang on to your hats.

More Fashion and Politics

2008-10-20T10:09:00.002-05:00

Mr. Blackwell, the fashion designer best know for skewering celebrities about their fashion faux pas on his 'Worst Dressed' list, died on Sunday at the age of 86.

It was a bit of a blow to the McCain campaign as they were looking for Mr. Blackwell's endorsement to counter that of General Colin Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama.
Even more stinging were Mr. Blackwell's last words.

"Tell Ms. Palin to lose the glasses. She looks like Charles Nelson Reilly in drag".

What Price Vanity?

2008-10-18T07:15:00.001-05:00

Fashion rarely follows politics, but as in so many other things, this year is different.

Women are wearing 'Sarah' glasses and displaying big smiles.

Democratic men, like 'Joe the Senator', are getting hair transplants and displaying big egos.

Republican men, like their new hero, 'Joe the Plumber' are shaving their heads and displaying big ass cracks.

Set em Up Joe

2008-10-16T07:27:00.002-05:00

They all have their favorites.

Sarah has 'Joe Six Pack'.

McCain has 'Joe The Plumber'.

Barack Obama has "Joe The Running Mate'.

That leaves the rest of us with

'Joe: the guy who couldn't afford a plumber so he just said "screw it" and went out and bought a six pack.'

It looks like the "Girls Next Door" are out the door.
82 year old Hugh Hefner is reportedly restocking the Playboy Mansion.

The octengenarian stud has replaced his 'older girlfriends' with 19 year old twins, Kristina and Karissa Shannon.

At this rate it won't be long before Hef is not the only one at the mansion wearing diapers.

As the elections go into the home stretch, several movies are coming out to take advantage of the political circus.

Oliver Stone is about to release W, his version of the Bush story starring Josh Brolin.

Before Sarah Palin's fifteen minutes are up, Larry Flynt is rushing out a porno pic starring a Sarah Palin look a like. (Rich Lowry's pick)

And Documentary film maker, Ken Burns, is putting together a film about the voters themselves.

Governor Palin has said that she would return to Alaska and has invited her newly found faithful to follow her there.

"When they arrive I will personally greet each and every one with a nice glass of Kool Aid".

Last month insurance giant AIG received an 85 billion dollar bailout from the federal government and promptly threw a bash with $400,000 of it.
This past week they notified the government that they would need an additional 37.5 billion dollars.

When asked to explain, a company executive said,
"Well, we have our Christmas party coming up and then there's New Years Eve. Oh and of course we all get year end bonuses too".

No Voter Left Behind

2008-10-10T07:18:00.005-05:00

There is an unlikely new Political Action Group emerging from this years election season.

'Rednecks for Obama'

Formed by Tony Viessman, and Les Spencer, the group has set it's sights on lower income, beer-bellied, gun-toting, NASCAR fans who have had enough of business as usual in Washington.

To counter this loss of voters, the MCain campaign has formed a group just as unlikely.

'Domestic Terrorists for McCain'

So far they have "Squeaky" Fromme and Ted Kazinsky.
Charlie Manson is still undecided.
Unfortunately they are all in prison and cannot vote.

Bill Ayers has applied for status as a 'Redneck'.

Here For You

2008-10-08T20:31:00.004-05:00

McCain's been having a hard time keeping the Pit Bull on a short leash and Palin's negative campaigning has started causing negative reactions among voters.

His staff has begun suggesting a different campaigning style.
Something much subtler and more subdued.

"We want you to campaign for John just like Hillary campaigns for Barack."

"You know, almost like you're not even there."

Uno Mas Por Favor

2008-10-07T22:14:00.003-05:00

In order to make watching the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates more exciting, gatherings around the country have included a drinking game during the debates.
Whenever you hear one of the candidates say a certain word or phrase, you are required to take a drink.

At last night's debate in Nashville:

If you were waiting to hear the word 'Maverick',
you're probably still looking at a full bottle.

If you were waiting for either candidate to use the word 'Fundamental',
you probably got a pretty good buzz.

If you were waiting for John McCain to say "My Friends',
you never even heard the second question.

And you're probably not at work today either.

Look!! In The Air...

Which of the following are true?

Henry Paulson will be unbiased in his bailout handouts.

Sarah Palin was a Geography major.

Ghost of Reaganomics

Mud Wrasslin

Things are getting nasty in the Presidential race.

Republicans are saying Obama is a Muslim with terrorist ties.

Democrats are saying that McCain is an out of touch old man with a geographically challenged moose hunter one heart beat away from taking over.

Appropriately enough, the new moderator for Tuesday's debate
will be Jerry Springer.

Change We Can Count On

2008-10-06T09:18:00.000-05:00

Sarah Palin may not have made it to Washington yet, but she's already trying to change things.

"When I visited the White House recently I noticed that they had a glass ceiling there, and it had about 18 million cracks in it....So I fixed it."

Sarah, Get Me The Mayor

2008-10-05T14:26:00.005-05:00

Sarah Palin has gone on the offensive.
She is accusing Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists."
In a last ditch effort to repair their sagging poll numbers, Republicans are also trying to link Obama with Somali pirates, Wall Street bankers and O.J.

The best the Democrats can counter with is that they have seen Palin palling around with 'Floyd the Barber'.

Snake Eyes

2008-10-04T08:41:00.002-05:00

13 years to the day after O.J. Simpson was acquitted in the murders of his ex-wife and her friend, he was found guilty on 12 counts of armed robbery and kidnapping stemming from a confrontation in a Las Vegas hotel room last year.

After the verdict was read, Simpson was led away in handcuffs and allowed one phone call.

He called Henry Paulson.

"Sorry Juice, we're all out of bail money."

It's Still On

2008-10-02T16:05:00.006-05:00

Joe Biden failed to deliver the knock out punch that most Democrats were hoping for at Thursday night's Vice Presidential debate. Although many were surprised, no one is more disappointed than future Palin in law, Levi Johnston.

"Dude, it was looking like I was gonna dodge this one.
I guess this means the wedding's still on."
