"Bristol Palin is one of the dancers on the show. She got an 18. The judges were pretty nice to her. Her mother, Sarah Palin, said she was going to be in the audience for the first show, but she wasn't. It's not like her to commit to something and back out. But it's otter hunting season." –Jimmy Kimmel

 And the Beat Goes On

Israeli leaders have sharply criticized Bill Clinton over reported comments the former U.S. president made this week calling Russian immigrants in Israel an obstacle to peace.

Clinton, who is generally a well-loved figure in Israel for his efforts to broker a Mideast peace deal in the 1990s, was also quoted as saying at a round-table group this week in New York that the most recent arrivals in Israel have the hardest time agreeing to share the land with the Palestinians.

....And then there is the Iraq war, which Mr. Pierce deems “Idiot America’s purest product.” Although the irrationality and fear-mongering that led up to the destruction of Iraq has been widely discussed in other forums, the reader’s jaw will still drop as Mr. Pierce recalls how applicants for jobs in the agency tasked with rebuilding Iraq were quizzed on their opposition to Roe v. Wade before being hired. Or the vital role Fox’s torture porn show 24 played in discussions on whether to abuse prisoners.

When All Else Fails: Distort

A nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy is asking Connecticut's Republican candidate for Senate, Linda McMahon, to pull her political advertisement featuring the former president talking about tax cuts, saying it is misleading to voters.

The two-page letter from Edward M. Kennedy Jr., obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, says McMahon "distorts the legacy of President Kennedy in order to mislead voters into thinking" that he would have supported her position on tax policy.

Big Dog Nails Palin  couldn't resist the pun

Bill Clinton is the best handicapper in American politics. So when, on the eve of his annual Clinton Global Initiative conference in New York City, he assessed the power and peril of Sarah Palin, everybody paid attention...He wasn't all praise when it came to Palin. He implied that she has been successful despite - or maybe because of - the fact that she is thriving in a "period in politics that's sort of fact-free."
