They are saying over at Political Kudzu that there is reportedly a tape of Michelle Obama using the racial term “whitey” to describe those who lay out under the dark side of the moon. Naturally, if true, the tape could be very devastating for Barack’s chances of reaching the Whitey White House.
So my semi-related poll question refers to racial slang directed at Caucasians.
Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama apologized on Monday to reporter Peggy Agar for calling her “sweetie” when she asked him a question at a campaign stop in Detroit.
Reporter Peggy Agar, of the WXYZ television network in Michigan, had shouted a question as Mr Obama toured a Chrysler car plant in Detroit.
Mr Obama said: “Hold on one second, sweetie” and did not answer.
He later left a message for Ms Agar saying it was a “bad habit” and he “meant no disrespect”.
Agar in her report (see video below) seemed rather peeved, but upon receiving the apology said she has been called much worse.
19-year old University of Oklahoma student John Tyler Hammons has been elected the mayor of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Muskogee has a population of 38,000.
With all precincts reporting, John Tyler Hammons won with 70 percent of the vote over former Mayor Hershel Ray McBride, said Muskogee County Election Board Secretary Bill Bull.
“The public placing their trust in me is the greatest, humbling and most awesome experience I’ve ever had in my life,” said Hammons, who is from Muskogee but attends the university in Norman.
JTH says he plans to remain in school and complete his education while serving as mayor.
“Being elected does not change my desire to continue my education,” he said. “We will schedule our time in an appropriate fashion so that I can be mayor and stay in school.”
He is planning to transfer to a college mush closer to Muskogee.  Those from Muskogee are known as ‘Okies from Muskogee.’
Muskogee is the birthplace of country music star Carrie Underwood.  And yes I have been through Muskogee a couple of times but have never taken the time to stop. They have a billboard on the interstate claiming Carrie as their own.
First daughter Jenna Bush married Henry Hager at President Bush’s sprawling ranch in Crawford, Texas, on Saturday night. Maid of honor was Jenna’s twin sister Barbara. Best man was Henry’s brother Jack Hager.
The music was provided by wild man band leader Tyrone Smith.
The president and the bride picked “You Are So Beautiful” for their father-daughter dance, according to band leader Tyrone Smith of Nashville, Tennessee. Smith and his 10-piece party band, The Tyrone Smith Revue, was asked to do “Lovin’ in My Baby’s Eyes” by Taj Mahal for the newlyweds’ first dance. Smith, who promised the couple a “get down” party, talked to The Associated Press earlier in the week on condition that the information not be released before the wedding.
I have never laughed so hard reading a story. Tyrone, better known as ‘Super T’, with his superman-like cape use to play at the SAE fraternity house back in the late 90’s. We use to have him and his crew as often as we could until we went broke, were placed on probation for hazing, and then went even more in the red building a new fraternity house on Greek Row.
Smith, who witnessed the wedding ceremony, said afterward the groom was dressed in a dark blue suit with powder-blue tie and the bride wore a “very simple and elegant” white dress, but did not wear a veil.
There is no way I would have ever believed a decade ago that ‘Super T’ would be explaining to the press what the President’s daughter and her groom wore at their wedding. Congrats to Tryone…I have a feeling that the Bush’s paid him and his band a lot better than Sigma Alpha Epsilon did back in 1997.
In researching this post I discovered that Tyrone has recently played at the White House as well.

Barack Obama at his campaign stop in Beaverton, Oregon, claims that he has now campaigned in 57 states. This is the type of gaffe that Barack usually hammers McCain about due to his age.
Barack should just poke fun at himself and agree to appear on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
Yes, stop the email! I think it’s safe to assume he meant 47.
The USA consists of 50 states for those of you who went to California public schools.
Representative Vito J. Fossella from New York revealed today that he has a 3-year-old daughter with former Air Force lieutenant colonel Laura Fay.
The prospect that Mr. Fossella could face a mandatory jail sentence if convicted had already threatened to bring to an end his decade-long career in the House, where Mr. Fossella is the only Republican representing New York City. The Daily News has reported that Mr. Fossella called Ms. Fay for help after his arrest and told officers that he was on his way to Grimm Street, where Ms. Fay lives, to visit a sick daughter.
Fossella was arrested on May 1st for driving while intoxicated in Alexandria, Virginia.
Republican Presidential nomineeJohn McCain on Comedy Central’s Daily Show told host Jon Stewart that Dwight Schrute (actor Rainn Wilson), from the sitcom The Office, could be his choice to become his Vice President.
The true odds on favorites are Mitt Romney and Bobby Jindal to name two.
Convicted D.C. Madam Deborah Jean Palfrey has committed suicide and taken her life. Her body was found in Tarpon Spings, Florida, inside of her mother’s home. . A suicide note was found with Palfrey’s intention to take her life.
“It was her, and she’s deceased,” Frank Ruggiero, a public information officer with the Tarpon Springs Police Department, told FOXNews.com. “There’s no question that it was a suicide.”
Palfrey apparently hanged herself with a nylon rope that she wrapped around a metal beam in a shed on the property, according to police. Suicide notes were found inside the mobile home, but their contents were not disclosed.
Authorities said her 76-year-old mother, Blanche Palfrey, positively identified the dead woman as her daughter.
A reporter for Time magazine is claiming that Palfrey told him she would commit suicide before going to prison
“She wasn’t going to jail, she told me that very clearly. She told me she would commit suicide,” author Dan Moldea told TIME soon after news broke of her body being found in Tarpon Springs, Florida, an apparent suicide.
Deborah had stated boldly that she was stronger than one of her employees who committed suicide before going to trial.
Palfrey told the press, “I guess I’m made of something that Brandy Britton wasn’t made of.”
Palfrey was found guilty last month of money laundering, racketeering, and using the mail for illegal purposes.
TV interviewer Barbara Walters confessed to Oprah Winfrey today on her TV show that she had a long term affair with Massachusetts U.S. Senator Edward Brooke during the 70’s.
After three decades of silence, Walters, 78, is speaking out about her multi-year relationship. According to transcripts from the show obtained by the Associated Press, the View host called Brooke “exciting” and “brilliant” – and tells Winfrey, “I was certainly infatuated … It was exciting times in Washington.”
Walters never talked about her relationship for fear that it would damage her career. Talking to Winfrey, she recounts a phone call with a friend who warned her, “This is going to come out. This is going to ruin your career … This is going to ruin him. You’ve got to break this off.’”
I am sure with Barbara she made for some extremely interesting pillow talk.
President Bush while welcoming the New York Giants to the White House to congratulate them on their Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots cracked a pretty funny joke at the expense of Jessica Simpson.
“We are going to send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic National Convention,” Bush said as the Giants players laughed behind him.
Many blame the Dallas Cowboys and their post season collapse on quarterback Tony Romo who started dating Simpson during the middle of last season. Romo had his worst game ever when Jessica came to see him play for the first time.
Barack Obama is catching a lot of heat for comments he made late last week at a fund raising dinner in San Francisco about Americans from rural and small towns.
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years. … And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or anti-pathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” - Barack Obama
Will these comments Barack made at a San Francisco fund raiding dinner hurt his chances of becoming President?
Call Girl: Lt. Cmdr. Rebecca Dickinson
More and more details are coming out about D.C. Madam Deborah Palfrey and the escort service she was running for some of D.C’s elitist men and politicians.
Rebecca Dickinson, who was a call girl for Palfrey, testified in court this morning that Palfrey never discussed having sex with their clients, but that it was simply implied. Dickinson is a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy and is likely to lose her job and pension depending upon what all details come out.
Clients would pay Dickinson $275 for sex. She would keep $130 and give $145 to Palfrey. A rather bad deal if you ask me. Dickinson came to the same conclusion and eventually quit when she couldn’t keep up with demand.
So she was giving 53% to her madam and then having to pay taxes to the U.S. government. I guess that was kind of a build in discount for the Congressman banging her. After paying taxes she was basically giving it up for free.
Eliot Spitzer call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupre was at least pulling down $4k an hour for throwing her legs over her shoulders.
The hottest political news of the day didn’t involve the 2008 Presidential campaign but the reflected image seen on Dick Cheney’s sunglasses in a photo taken during a recent fly-fishing trip in Idaho. The photo above seems to show a naked woman, perhaps a stripper, in the reflection of Cheney’s sunglasses. The photo was on the official White House website.
The internet is filmed with such professional photoshop artists that even Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo would be proud of their work. I believe the reflection is an altered image. If it is in fact a real naked woman in the reflection then I am signing up for Dick’s next fly-fishing trip. I guess when you fish with strippers it truly is FLY FISHING.
So what really is in Dick’s shades? Find out below
U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow’s husband Thomas Athans was busted by police after paying $150 dollars and receiving oral sex from a prostitute in Michigan according to CNN.
Thomas Athans, 46, co-founder of the liberal TalkUSA Radio network, was stopped by police who were investigating Internet-based prostitution at the hotel, according to a police report obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press under the state Freedom of Information Act.
Stabenow, in a statement, said it was “very disturbing and serious. Obviously it’s a deeply difficult and personal matter.”
The hooker, Alycia Martin, was booked on prostitution charges and released upon making bail.
Police arrested Alycia Martin, 20, of Westland in the hotel room on a charge of prostitution and confiscated a cell phone, laptop and $431. There is no telephone listing for her in Westland.
I don’t get it…..politicians ask for and receive many free benefits because of who they are, yet they prefer to pay for risky sex instead of enjoying it for free as well.
Athans is the founder of TalkUSARadio.
French president Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, a former fashion model, are in London making the political rounds that come with being the head of state. The trip is causing a bit of controversy because auction house Christie’s is selling nude photographs of Carla Bruni from her days as a high-end fashion model.
Sarkozy and his wife, the former supermodel Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, were greeted by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall after the presidential plane landed at London’s Heathrow airport Wednesday morning.
But his wife Bruni-Sarkozy is likely to attract as much, if not more, attention than her husband during the two-day visit, during which she is expected to meet the UK royals and attend a lunch held in her honor by Sarah Brown, wife of the UK prime minister.
Auction house Christie’s is to sell photographs of former model Bruni-Sarkozy, taken by Michel Comte in 1993, in New York next month, The Associated Press reported Tuesday. The agency quoted the French president’s office as saying the sale is a private matter.
The photos are likely to endure President Sarkozy to millions of Westerners but don’t expect the Brit’s to warm up to Nicolas or his wife. The Brit’s are always looking for a reason to have a rife with the French.
Long live Nicolas and his smoking hot first wife Carla!

Barack Obama in an attempt to deflect attention from him and his 20-year relationship with the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright sent the above photo of Wright and President Bill Clinton to The New York Times.
The photo was taken during a September 1998 prayer breakfast Clinton held for religious leaders from across the country in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The response from Hillary Clinton’s camp cracked me up and summed up my own thoughts on Barack sending the photo in to the Times.
Asked for a response tonight through email, Howard Wolfson, a top aide to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, wrote, “Urgent indeed — a picture — oooooooo!”
How did Jeremiah thank Bill for the invite and Presidential breakfast? He had this dirty shot he took at Bill during Hillary’s run for the Presidency.
“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.�
Barack has been backtracking, caught in lies, and making excuses for his intense relationship with Wright during the past 10 days. Many Americans are doubting his ability to be a uniter since Wright has been exposed for his divisive and hate towards America.

The Detroit City Council has voted 7-1 for controversial mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, to resign from office. The council has no power so the vote is merely a suggestion of sorts.
Mayor Kilpatrick has been in hot water for lying under oath about 14,000 sexual text messages he exchanged with his chief of staff Christine Beatty over the course of a year. Kwame is for sure a ladies man as he proved a few weeks ago with Carmen Slowsky.
Kilpatrick has been involved with numerous other scandals while mayor. You can read about all of them on Mayor Kilpatrick’s Wikipedia profile.
Kwame has not hinted at resigning at office and likely won’t.
“A More Perfect Union” given by Barack Obama (March 18, 2008) in response to his pastor, Jeremiah Wright’s, racist sermons and comments.
“We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.”
Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America’s improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.
The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation’s original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations.
Of course, the answer to the slavery question was already embedded within our Constitution - a Constitution that had at is very core the ideal of equal citizenship under the law; a Constitution that promised its people liberty, and justice, and a union that could be and should be perfected over time.
Conservative talking head Sean Hannity was the first to expose Barack Obama’s preacher, Jeremiah Wright, for his controversial and racist rants he has made during sermons, on the church’s website, and in his writings.
Wright married Barack and his wife Michelle. He baptizes Barack’s two daughters and has been Obama’s pastor for more than twenty years. He is even credited in Barack’s book, The Audacity of Hope, and the title actually came from one of Wright’s sermons.
I have tried to gather and compile some of the more inflammatory remarks from Wright below. If I have missed any of his most outrageous rants then please feel free to drop a comment with it below.
