Jon Favreau can make anybody feel like a failure, because he is super young and successful and takes excellent transcription notes from President Obama’s Teleprompter. If you’re an aspiring young speechwriter, you look at him and go “Shit by the time he was my age he was already FAMOUS” and if you are an old libtard you just think, “Enh, too late for me to do anything with my life.” MORE »

America is ready for Change, and nothing could be more different from the Bush Era than good old-fashioned boy-meets-girl White House gossip. That’s why the hot Jon Favreau-Ali Campoverdi rumors are healing America’s butt-hurt psyche. Can a simple “Obama speechwriter dude hooks up with Obama staffer who also was photographed in her panties, for Maxim” story finally cure America from the awful mental image of whatever senior Bush Administration middle-aged white guy repeatedly fucking some fat gay hooker from a “conservative news website”? Christ we hope so. [Gawker]
