Oprah
Oprah wishes she had never mentioned her five figure handbag shopping incident in Jim Crow Switzerland. She didn’t buy the handbag but she did buy plenty of buzz. Her just released movie, The Butler, is number one.
Obama Leno Interview
In an interview with a comedian, Obama complained that Putin doesn’t like being interviewed by reporters.
Dope Scandal
Twelve ballplayers got 50 game suspensions in the Biogenesis dope scandal. A-Rod got 211. Hardly seems fair, but neither is cheating. Besides nobody likes him. You can see his entertaining press conference in Chicago here.
And here are “The 15 Most Hilarious quotes from Alex Rodriguez’s 2009 ‘I’m sorry for Taking Steroids Interview'” dug up by New York Magazine.
Geraldo’s Weiner Interview
Copping fake handles seems to be all the rage in government. Anthony Weiner revealed himself as Carlos Danger. Before she threw in the towel, it was discovered that EPA administrator Lisa Jackson used an e-mail account as Richard Windsor.
Speaking of towels, here’s Geraldo’s “selfie” if you haven’t seen it.
Al Sharpton
When I think of Al Sharpton I think of two words – Tawana Brawley. Now I think of two more – Personal Stylist.
Update:
Here’s Shelby Steele on what he calls “today’s civil rights establishment”. He says it’s leaders use poetic license to create “poetic truth” namely, that America is a racist nation.
“And here, precisely at the point of this verdict, is where all of America begins to see this hollowed-out civil-rights establishment slip into pathos. Almost everyone saw this verdict coming. It is impossible to see how this jury could have applied the actual law to this body of evidence and come up with a different conclusion. The civil-rights establishment’s mistake was to get ahead of itself, to be seduced by its own poetic truth even when there was no evidence to support it. And even now its leaders call for a Justice Department investigation, and they long for civil lawsuits to be filed—hoping against hope that some leaf of actual racial victimization will be turned over for all to see. This is how a once-great social movement looks when it becomes infested with obsolescence.”
