Kristen-Ashley, Tattooed N.J. Hip-Hop Hooker, Is Milking It For All She's Worth


As expected by everyone, Ashley Alexander Kristen Dupre has already done a mostly-naked photo shoot, for the NEW YORK POST, which seriously has like a dozen EXCLUSIVE pics of the superstar hooker. (UPDATE: No, the Post just bought one-day rights to some pictures she posed for last year.) And, well, we are sort of losing our sympathy for this not-so-delicate flower of the night. More »

THEY’VE LOST MURDOCH? THEY’VE LOST MURDOCH!: The New York Post endorsed Barack Obama for the nomination today, and they did so in 2000 Senate race style — by shredding Hillary and Bill Clinton. Don’t the Clintons still have Rupert Murdoch in their entourage? Did we miss some recent News Corp. memo on the Gawker blog announcing a Change? Although Barry probably had this locked when the New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton. [NY Post]

“An anti-war protestor, whose hands were painted red to look like blood, stormed up to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as she arrived to testify on Capitol Hill this morning, shouting ‘war criminal’ before being hauled away by bodyguards.” [NYP]

Icy Sexpot Dana Perino Makes a Funny!

So you’re elevated to your current position because your predecessor got cancer, and every single official you represent is a thieving scumbag with 2% approval ratings, and the country is so crippled that Honduras could probably launch a successful invasion. What do you do, Dana Perino? You make Alex Trebek jokes, obviously:
MS. PERINO: Les.

Q Yes, thank you, Dana. Two questions on American business. In the -

MS. PERINO: American business for 200. (Laughter.) I’ve always wanted to be on that show. Go ahead, Les, I’m sorry.
But what was the question? Something about how America has been intentionally deindustrialized and wages have stagnated or dropped for all but the top 10% of earners and blue-collar union jobs have been eliminated leaving a vast working class with no hope for anything beyond lifelong credit-card debt and children who finish school unable to read?

NY Post's Hilarious Ethnic Headline

Sure, the hippies are all upset by the New York Post’s supposedly racialist headline atop the AP Bill Richardson news brief. But think of all the wacky and totally unoffensive headlines the tabloid can use as the other hundred candidates make it officially official for real: More »

But the 'Sweets & Flowers' Are Hidden Inside Car Bombs ...

If you were worried that even neocons seem to have lately discovered shame and regret, we’ll always have alternative-reality propagandist Amir Taheri and his endless supply of hysterical bullshit about Iran and Iraq and whatever other country they’re going to blow up next. Witness the tragicomic incoherent beauty of Taheri’s column in today’s NY Post:
Some 70 percent of Baghdad’s violence is concentrated in five neighborhoods, where both Shiites and Sunnis have been the targets of rival death squads for months. Other Baghdadis say the population of those areas will greet the American troops with sweets and flowers.
What?! Not even Dick Cheney in campaign mode has peddled this ridiculous lie for years. Oh well, what do you expect from the propagandist who made up an entire “Iran makes the Jews wear yellow badges and homosexuals wear blue hat” story that the National Post put on the front page? More »

Still a Distressing Lack of Ghostface on Politicos' iPods

May we please have a major politician with even slightly interesting taste in music? Is that too much to ask? Another week, another politician’s iPod filled with the Stones (once again, we ask: No “Midnight Rambler?” “Under My Thumb” would be pretty funny, right? Can we please find out that Laura Bush has “Mother’s Little Helper” on her workout playlist?), the token Motown classics, and, of course, the fucking Eagles. And U2, cementing their position as the modern Eagles, but even more boring. More »
