JOHN EDWARDS: POLLING THE JURY?
In a shocking turn of events at the John Edwards criminal trial, derfmagazine.com is reporting Edwards has impregnated all five female members of the jury.
Jurors 2, 5, 6, 9, and 11 have all been confirmed to be “in the Edwards way,” and the lead prosecutor says they are now unsure how to proceed because “We believe we have a strong case, but now have to figure out if knocking up jurors will make them more sympathetic to the defendant or less.”

MITT ROMNEY: THE BIBLE WAY… SORT OF
GOP presumptive nominee Mitt Romney told a conservative college audience this week that his definition of marriage comes from the Bible, or at least part of it.
“Marriage should be the way it was in the good book,” Romney told a cheering crowd at Liberty University. “Except for those parts of the bible where people had lots of wives, because even though God was okay with that back then, we need to pick and choose scripture so it fits our political ends, like that crap about loving one’s enemies, I mean, come on.”
TWO AND HALF MEN – AN ORAL TRADITION
After being renewed for its 10th season, the creator of 2 ½ Men says this year will contain more oral sex jokes than ever before.
“BJs are always funny,” said creator Chuck Lorre. “Last year we averaged about one “oral” joke per show, but this year, we’re going for three to four, including one special episode where it’ll be nothing but thinly veiled euphemisms including “snake swallowing, the old gag-reflex tester, and tongue bathing the fire hose.”

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, supports President Obama
Join Women for Obama: my.barackobama.com Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, supports President Obama because he believes in women and trusts women to make responsible decisions. She notes the strong contrast between the positions of President Obama and the Republican party leadership who seem to want to put government in between women and their doctors. As Cecile Richards shares: "I think the thing that disturbed me, and really frankly hundreds of thousands of women who have contacted us since MItt Romney said he was going to get rid of Planned Parenthood, is that he's putting politics ahead of women's health care access. Most of the women who come to planned parenthood come because they need preventive care access. They need access to affordable birth control, life saving cancer screenings, and the kind of care we provide. For women their health care doesn't come with a political label. The fact that we're actually having a fight in this country about whether women should have access to birth control is extraordinary. And so it's been wonderful to have President Obama as a champion for access to health care for all women in this country."

Stephanie Cutter: Get the facts on Karl Rove's BS
Facebook it: my.barackobama.com Tweet it: my.barackobama.com Tumblr it: my.barackobama.com Stephanie Cutter shares the facts against the latest ad put out by Karl Rove and his Super PAC: Crossroads. "Hi, I'm Stephanie Cutter, Deputy Campaign Manager at Obama for America. Well, here we are again. Karl Rove's group, Crossroads, is spending $25 million from secret donors to tear down the president in a new ad out today. Time to tear this thing apart. First up -- the attack ad says the president has not helped people who face foreclosure. That is flat out wrong. Because of President Obama's policies and the efforts he set in motion, over 5.9 million homeowners were able to modify their mortgages, avoid foreclosure, and stay in their homes. And the president is fighting to get Congress to go further -- to let responsible homeowners who pay their mortgages on time to refinance and save on their monthly payments, even if they are underwater. The president is doing this because he believes homeownership is critical to helping middle class families build for their future. And don't forget: Mitt Romney's plan on this? Well I'll just let him speak for himself: ROMNEY: 'Don't try and stop the foreclosure process, let it run its course and hit the bottom.' I'd like to say that's unbelievable, but with Mitt Romney, it's really not. Second, the ad says the president broke a promise to cut taxes on middle class Americans. They're wrong again.

John McCain Interview on ABC's This Week 05.06.12
This morning on ABC's This Week, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., weighed in on Mitt Romney's hotly anticipated vice presidential pick. The former presidential candidate's advice was clear. "The absolute, most important aspect is, if something happened to him, would that person be well qualified to take that place?" said McCain. "I happen to believe that was the primary factor in my decision in 2008. And I know it will be Mitt's." McCain picked Sarah Palin as his presidential running mate in 2008 and the decision has been much-discussed ever since. Just this year, actors Ed Harris and Julianne Moore played McCain and Palin in the HBO adaptation of the book "Game Change." McCain has dismissed these portrayals of his campaign as inaccurate in the past. "I remember it well," McCain said this morning, laughing.

Mitt Romney Whines About "Vast Left Wing Conspiracy" In Media; Howie Kurtz Sympathizes
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 23:00:03 04/22/12
Click here to view this media
Playing the refs during elections is nothing new, and that's more or less what Mitt Romney might have been doing when he told Breitbart TV Tuesday there was a "quote, vast left wing conspiracy " shifting the winds of media coverage toward Barack Obama.
Excuse me while I howl with laughter for a minute.
There, that's better. Now Romney was being asked about Media Matters at the time. You know Media Matters , right? They clip actual words that actual people say on the air and broadcast out to viewers. They either let the clips stand as they are or sometimes post a little explanation about how wrong they are. And all the Breitbart TV interviewer was doing was offering up an invitation for Mitt to join the " revoke Media Matters' tax-exempt status " gang on the right. Media Matters is the left side's answer to the right's Media Research Center, and it does great work, but it isn't "media."
Mitt chose instead to criticize all media everywhere for their alleged bias toward the President, which really did a wonderful job of highlighting Howard Kurtz' uselessness for everyone to see. I see at least two important points to make here.
First, if the media was actually doing their job, they'd start calling Mitt and Ann Romney the liars they are . They lie about everything from important policy choices to minor things like the dog on the roof. They lie about what they said, they lie about what they believe, and they do it knowing full well a record is out there contradicting their position of the day.
They can be this cynical because the mainstream media lets them be. They don't actually use the word "lie." They use other, kinder forms to describe what Romney does. I am not talking about things that are at all vague. These are lies like "I never said that the economy got worse under Barack Obama" when he had just said it the day before. The shifting sands under his feet kind of lies that change depending on who his audience is. Those kinds of lies, which get reported as "Did Mitt Romney Misspeak?" or something equally full of milquetoast.
Yet no one in the media, critic or otherwise, will actually step up and call a lie a lie. In fact, US News & World Report claimed the "Etch a Sketch" story was proof positive of bias against Romney, despite the fact that it confirmed the cynical lies this campaign feels comfortable shooting into the mainstream.
Also this week, Mitt lied about his relationship with SB1070 author Kris Kobach, trying to distance himself from Kobach's radical, draconian immigration law and his cozy relationship with ALEC. Yet again, we hear nothing from Kurtz about this, even after Romney somewhat reluctantly admitted that yes, Kobach was an advisor to his campaign.
My second point is this: What happened when Hillary Clinton suggested there was a 'vast right wing conspiracy'? Kurtz himself belittled Clinton's candidacy for the 2008 nomination moaning that they'd "have to endure" all of it over again, including the "vast right wing conspiracy."
Wingers had a field day , courtesy of the mainstream press. Clinton was belittled, ridiculed, and bedeviled by those words, despite the fact that she was right.
Fast forward to 2012, and here's what we get from the so-called objective media: Crickets. Here's what we get from the right-biased media:
Some media critic you are, Howie. There's a special place in hell for people who are too cowardly to call a lie a lie, and instead play the "everyone does it" game.

Rick Warren's Not Willing To Call Mitt Romney a Christian
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 19:00:02 04/08/12
video platform video management video solutions video player
There are many things wrong with the presumptive Republican candidacy of Mitt Romney. Mitt is wishy-washy, a mediocre politician at best, willing to say or be for anything that will get him ahead. But that's just me as a liberal. If I was a Republican Party elder, I'd be fearful of a Romney campaign for an entire other reason. It's a terribly hard sell to convince the evangelical right (a huge percentage of Republican voters ) to consider a Mormon elder like Romney a true Christian.
Rick Warren, head of Saddleback Church, which claims 20,000 weekly church goers, and co-author of the ridiculously popular book "The Purpose Driven Life" (with sales of more than 30 million units), is very influential among the evangelical community. What he told Jake Tapper has to make every Republican operative working for a 2012 victory very, very nervous . >
“I have a congregation that’s very large. It talks to me all the time. Most people would not think they’re better off economically than they were four years ago,” Pastor Warren said. “I hold everybody responsible for that. I hold the people who got themselves into debt. I hold the government that got themselves into debt. I hold multiple administrations. It’s not the fault of any one person.”
With Republican Mitt Romney moving closer to becoming the first Mormon presidential nominee, I asked Warren whether he believes Mormons are Christians — a contested issue among evangelicals.
“ The key sticking point for evangelicals and actually for many is the issue of the Trinity… that’s the historic doctrine of the church that God is three-in-one,” Warren said. “Not three Gods; one God in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Mormonism denies that. ”
Ouch.
I don't see how Romney gets over that hurdle. The only hope I guess he has is to revive the whole Obama-is-a-Muslim trope to point to the only religious faction more horrifying to the evangelical voter.

KISS Army~ Gene Simmons Voices Support For Mitt Romney, Regrets Voting For Obama In '08
Kiss frontman Gene Simmons appeared on Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends to discuss the 2012 race and President Obama, as well as promote his new chain of restaurants "Rock & Brews." On the program, Simmons offered his support for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in his bid to replace President Obama in the White House. "The reason sometimes Republicans get in %mdash including the Senate, House and presidency %mdash is because Americans, smartly, and I applaud them for doing so, vote on the issues and not the party," said Simmons. "I'm an American. I want both parties to appeal to me, and then I'll make my educated decision. Sometimes you're right, sometimes I'm wrong." KISS' Gene Simmons Wants His Vote For Obama Back: 'I Fell Victim To The Charm' "America should be in business and it should be run by a businessman. That's my philosophy," said Simmons %mdash an Obama supporter in 2008 %mdash in a veiled endorsement of Romney for the presidency. "America is a business. If you can't afford to do something, no matter how much bellyaching everybody does -- I'm so sorry, if you can't afford it, you shouldn't do it," said Simmons. When asked directly who he believes is the stronger candidate for the presidency in 2012, Romney or President Obama, Simmons answered "Mitt Romney."

Ronald Romney Forgets Iran-Contra
[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 23:00:18 03/07/12
For the second time in four months, Mitt Romney has penned a tough-talking op-ed on the Iranian nuclear program. But this time, the almost certain GOP presidential nominee has introduced a new riff to his constant refrain that "If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. If you elect me as president, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon." Now in his Washington Post piece and again in his speech Tuesday to AIPAC , Romney has portrayed himself as a modern day Ronald Reagan who will force Tehran to give up its nuclear ambitions just as it did the 52 U.S. hostages in 1981. Unfortunately, Mitt forgot the full story of the Gipper's experience with Iran. As it turned out, in the Iran-Contra scandal that almost ended his presidency, Ronald Reagan gave the mullahs in Tehran not a show of American might, but a cake, a Bible - and U.S. arms.
Romney first Reagan impersonation appeared in Monday's Washington Post as a follow up to November's " I Won't Let Iran Get Nukes ." In it, he cast Barack Obama as "America's most feckless president since Carter" and cast himself as the Gipper: >
Beginning Nov. 4, 1979 , dozens of U.S. diplomats were held hostage by Iranian Islamic revolutionaries for 444 days while America's feckless president, Jimmy Carter, fretted in the White House. Running for the presidency against Carter the next year, Ronald Reagan made it crystal clear that the Iranians would pay a very stiff price for continuing their criminal behavior. On Jan. 20, 1981, in the hour that Reagan was sworn into office, Iran released the hostages. The Iranians well understood that Reagan was serious about turning words into action in a way that Jimmy Carter never was.
Speaking by satellite Tuesday to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Policy (AIPAC) Conference, Mitt again donned his Reagan mask (around the 8:40 mark above): >
"I believe the right course is what Ronald Reagan called 'peace through strength.' There is a reason why the Iranians released the hostages on the same day and at the same hour that Reagan was sworn into office. As President, I will offer that kind of clarity, strength, and resolve."
Apparently, Mitt Romney wasn't paying attention to the rest of Reagan's performance. That would be the part when Ronald Reagan swapped arms for hostages with Ayatollah Khomeini.
The Iran-Contra scandal , as you'll recall, almost laid waste to the Reagan presidency. Desperate to free U.S. hostages held by Iranian proxies in Lebanon, President Reagan provided weapons Tehran badly needed in its long war with Saddam Hussein (who, of course, was backed by the United States). In a clumsy and illegal attempt to skirt U.S. law, the proceeds of those sales were then funneled to the contras fighting the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. And as the New York Times recalled, Reagan's fiasco started with an emissary bearing gifts from the Gipper himself: >
A retired Central Intelligence Agency official has confirmed to the Senate Intelligence Committee that on the secret mission to Teheran last May, Robert C. McFarlane and his party carried a Bible with a handwritten verse from President Reagan for Iranian leaders. >
According to a person who has read the committee's draft report, the retired C.I.A. official, George W. Cave, an Iran expert who was part of the mission, said the group had 10 falsified passports, believed to be Irish, and a key-shaped cake to symbolize the anticipated ''opening'' to Iran.
The rest, as they say, is history. After the revelations regarding his trip to Tehran and the Iran-Contra scheme, a disgraced McFarlane attempted suicide. (That would be the same Bud McFarlane whose endorsement Newt Gingrich touted during a reecent GOP debate.) After his initial denials, President Reagan was forced to address the nation on March 4, 1987 and acknowledge he indeed swapped arms for hostages ( video here ): >
"A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not. As the Tower board reported, what began as a strategic opening to Iran deteriorated, in its implementation, into trading arms for hostages."
(For more background, read the Reagan diaries , starting with the part in which he admits in 1986, " I agreed to sell TOWs to Iran .")
Of course, the sad saga didn't end there. Then Lt. Colonel and now Fox News commentator Oliver North saw his Iran-Contra conviction overturned by an appellate court led by faithful Republican partisan and later Iraq WMD commissioner Laurence Silberman. And in December 1992, outgoing President George H.W. Bush offered Christmas pardons to Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and five other Iran-Contra scandal figures. Among them were John Poindexter and Elliott Abrams, men who eight years later reprised their roles in the administration of George W. Bush.
As it turns out, Elliott Abrams - one of the people who brought you the Iraq War - is also now providing ammunition for Mitt Romney. As Washington Post blogger and Romney stenographer Jennifer Rubin wrote Monday after President Obama's address to AIPAC: >
As former deputy national security advisor Elliott Abrams explains, "Military and intelligence cooperation is excellent, and American diplomatic support for an isolated Israel was repeatedly (though not always, as he suggested) forthcoming. Still, any effort to paper over the differences between his administration and the Netanyahu government--or worse yet, to make believe there really are no important differences--was bound to fail." Facts are stubborn things, and Obama's record is so error-strewn and so different in tenor from predecessors that no speech can paper over the last three years.
Facts are, as Ronald Reagan liked to say, stubborn things. Among those facts is that with the Iran-Contra scandal, Reagan disgraced himself and his country. Which is why Mitt Romney had it right for once back in 1994 when he proclaimed: >
"I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush; I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."
Sadly, 18 years later and 25 years after Iran-Contra, Ronald Romney is trying to rewrite that history, too.

Not so Super Tuesday for Mitt Romney
www.euronews.com Super Tuesday has been the night that settles the Republican presidential nomination in recent campaigns. With voters in ten states casting ballots, Mitt Romney's supporters hoped their man would see off his nearest rival Rick Santorum. But he only managed a narrow win in the blue collar swing state of Ohio. Romney came top in five other states, while Santorum picked up three victories. He finished first in Tennesse, Oklahoma and North Dakota. The former Pennsylvania senator has painted himself as the only true conservative in the race, taking a strong stance on social issues. Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, won his home state of Georgia. He has refused to suspend his campaign and even predicted that he would make a third comeback in later primary contests. Texas Congressman Ron Paul is still without a state victory, but his camp believes he can still secure the nomination. There are more six more contests to be held within the next week, with staunchly conservative states Kansas, Alabama and Mississippi having their say.

Rival Republicans accentuate the positive
www.euronews.com Both main sides of the divided Republican family are taking positives from the outcome of Super Tuesday. It was far from the knock-out blow Mitt Romney supporters may have been hoping for, but, they believe he is getting his message across. One Romney voter in Ohio said: "It's going to be good for him and his campaign. As a woman business owner, I'm very excited about the future of his candidacy, I like the idea that we have a man who has run businesses, run a state, who knows how to run an organisation, that can really lead us into the future and where we need to be." Another said: "I think you are seeing him winning the hearts and minds, he is talking about jobs, he is talking about leadership, he is talking about getting the economy back on track, he is talking about energy, these are kitchen table issues and what we are seeing here in Ohio and elsewhere around the country is that people are starting to really focus in on this, they are concluding that Mitt Romney is talking to them."
