All right, now this is getting ridiculous. None other than Ryan Seacrest has managed to insert himself into the political mix by scoring a phone interview with Hillary Clinton on his radio show Friday. What’ll it be next, the Obamas and the Bidens sit down with the preternaturally perky Mary Hart on “Entertainment Tonight?” Oh, wait ... never mind.

Follow this link to hear Clinton’s interview with Seacrest.

Shouldn’t Hill be working on her campaign debt reduction in time for the 2010 Senate races? After all, she’s going to be that much more expendable to Albany when she fails to disqualify Dick Durbin in the fight for Harry Reid’s seat in January 2009 when Obama names his cabinet. Ol’ girl really needs to be working on debt reduction so she’ll have enough cash to deploy some fierce dirty tricks to keep her New York Senate seat. The Moynehans are actually going to run some competition against her this time. She needs to be busy handling her business, not killing time with losers with no political clout, like Ryan Seacrest.

Besides, since when has granting Ryan Seacrest an interview brought a candidate for anything to the forefront? You’re not even guaranteed a local Emmy, screwing around with Seacrest. If anything, Seacrest is using Hillary to stay in the lime light.

ALASKA GOVERNOR - RECALL!!!
I am a Alaskan life voting Republican. This 2008 Election, I will [with pleasure] vote Democrat! This Alaska Governor has destroyed “MANY GOOD ALASKAN PEOPLE(s) Professionally and Politically during her “VERY SHORT” term position as Mayor in a small community Wasilla, Ak (Approx 5,000 + residents during her reign) and current Alaska State Governor.(of approx. twenty months).  Whenever Palin is confronted with a question that she does not know, does not have a clue or simply does not want to answer, her indignation which turns to...ANGER...is familiar. McCains’’ V.P. selection Sarah Palin unequivocally has no business being the Alaska Governor, let alone, a USA candidate for Vice President.... Maverick??.....  ****AMERICA SHOULD BE FEARFULLY CONCERNED****. I voted for Sarah Palin in Alaskas 2006 Governor Election. MISTAKE! Never Again… I repeat-NEVER AGAIN!!...Alaska Governor Palin is an absolute Embarrassment to the Alaska People and “IS” proven to be an insatiable Liar!! How can she possibly ASSUME the to possess the ability to clean up America, when she cannot clean the ‘MESS” she has created in Alaska. Yes, A Mess FOR Alaskans to clean up!!!!! McCain, you should be ASHAMED of yourself!!!! This victim (palin)has no business in this Presidential Arena.

Off topic, but who picked this photo of Clinton out of the many available. It looks like something from a National Socialist Rally in 1936: only the swastika and mustache are missing.

Let’s lose this kind of junk and go for something that at least pays lip service to our Republic. A picture is worth a thousand words, and sometime many more!

Think about it…

Article quote: “All right, now this is getting ridiculous.”

>> Oh....c’mon now, let’s keep this in perspective.  If you are an actor/actress this is ABSOLUTELY your genre.  We can be civil.  I thought both “interviews” were PERFECT...oh, geez...I just have to say that again....they were..mmmm, o-o-o-o-o-w-w....PERFECT.

But you have to admit that “Masterpiece Theater” “setting” of the Obama/Biden “interview” was ....really...um...really...well...LOL

Now all we need is for Palin to do a “RIF” public service announcement....remember that..."RIF" (Reading is “Fundamental").... hmmmm
