Gretchen Carlson, FYI, won the Miss USA pageant in 1989, graduated *** laude from Stanford with a degree in sociology, and one of her nannies when she was growing up was Michele Bachmann.

I also know that HWJ went too far, and that ESPN/Disney is as image-conscious and PC as any other mega-corporation out there, so this ban didn't surprise me.

Just another burned out dopehead chickenhawk.

I think it's funny how all the neoCONS complain about hollywood and anyone in the entertainment biz when they are coming out in support of the American people,but let some right wing wacko in the entertainment field say something insane and they gush the "freedom of speech" catch phrases....hypocritical and moronic at best
I find it hypocritical that liberals support legalizing drugs and support celebrities who abuse drugs as long as they're also liberal.

Actually here's an interesting piece from The Jewish Daily Forward on his relatively abysmal approval among Jews, using polling data from the American Jewish Committee:

Quote:
Are American Jews finally moving into the Republican column? Not likely. Much of the disapproval seems related to the president’s failure to protect traditional liberal goals. You find hints of this deeper in the survey’s findings. For one thing, while fewer called themselves Democrats, the percentage of self-identified Republicans didn’t budge; it remained stuck at 16%, where it’s been for more than a decade. Rather than move to the GOP, disaffected Jews identified as independents this year.

Equally important, the ratio of self-identified liberals, moderates and conservatives remains almost unchanged. This year’s response was 41% liberal, 32% moderate and 25% conservative. Last fall it was 42-28-28.In 2005 it was 44-29-26. In November 2001, a few weeks after the September 11 attacks, it was 42-32-25.

The numbers suggest that the Jews aren’t moving to the right. More likely, they think Obama is.
Has Obama Lost the Jews? Don

BTW, when people reference Hitler, it just reveals their entry level understanding of history and politics.
Does that include all the Democrats and anti-war protestors who openly compared GW Bush directly to Hitler without loosing a job as opposed to making a analogy of two guys who hate each other playing golf together?

Personally, I'm sick of country music folks introducing football games. I think that in order to get the young, upscale urban crowd, pro football should be introduced by dubstep.

Reread your post I was responding to. There were others, like yourself, who used insulating language towards HW Jr being brined out right wing stoner. He may well be a stoner. However, I've yet to ever read a liberal use such insulting terms towards drug addicted celebrities who make political statements (which is pretty much all of them).

"Are you ready for a pink slip!!"

Nothing new from Hank here, really. ABC knew what they were getting into when they hired him.

Here is a song by Mr. Williams that's been around for quite a while:

if the south woulda won - YouTube

The man has been known previously to utter, write and sing some rather offbeat platitudes.

No, it is comparing the distance between Boehner and Obama. Our president is no Hitler, and Boehner is no Netanyahu either. By using your logic, Williams also called Boehner a Jew.
