    Hillary Wins Another Primary!

    Done and done and done and yup, even the Wall Street Journal thinks done. Hillary officially halted her frenzied schedule of telling the cable newsiverse how Good she feels and what a Good Time she's having and how Good it feels to be taking policy advice from Joe Sixpack etc. etc. And how did Obama do it? And how did Peggy Noonan know?? We'd rather talk about Burma and Putin Jr. and the insane San Diego fraternity coke bust, but Megan and I will try to talk "delegate math" and the surreal CNN comment that gave us both inexplicable sex dreams after the jump.

    Either Angelina Jolie Is Subtly Disapproving Of The Murdoch-Dow Jones Deal Or She Doesn't Really Understand Freedom Of The Press

    Angelina Jolie apparently shut out Fox News from covering the New York premiere of A Mighty Heart last night. (Hey even we were there!) But we find this annoying because, one, we kind of love Shepard Smith, and two, the whole point of the film is to depict a super-nuanced situation wherein an innocent Wall Street Journal reporter who is good and brave is beheaded by a guy who is kinda cold-blooded and evil but everyone else is just sorta, you know, human. As for the movie itself, it's not that great because the screenplay isn't really strong enough to make you care about any of the characters — and we have the suspicion that Brangelina sorta got wooed by the charisma and the tragedy of Mariane Pearl, who is not that great a writer, as we know from her work in Glamour — so we're thinking Angelina maybe just isn't that smart, because if she was, she might understand that, you know, when you are doing this movie where you are supposed to portray a journalist, who is married to a much better journalist, you sort of have to allow that maybe freedom of the press is something that apply to all journalists, and not just the journalists you actually like. OK, we're working on a better way to phrase that. A review of the film is also forthcoming. More »

    Oxy Withdrawal? Or Just "Spoiled Bratitis"? Shep And Greta Tackle The Tough Issues On Fox

    You know we love Shepard Smith the most of all anchormanchildren, and Greta Van Susteren the most of all the Scientologists, and what we love about the two of them together is that, in spite of all their accumulated combined professional gravitas, they attack a subject like Paris's courtroom conduct like we would talk about it with OUR gay BFFs, were we allowed to actually, you know, talk to anyone during the day.

    Shephard Smith Is Our Kind Of Rape-Joke-Defending "Fox News" Anchor

    We have what is either a healthy or sick fascination with Fox News anchor Shepard Smith. For starters, he is on Fox. He totally tore Sean Hannity a new one after Hurricane Katrina, but he looks like a demonic Bratz doll! He won't talk about his (obviously liberal) personal political views, but he also won't talk about his personal life! (Which can only mean he is totally doing it with Anderson Cooper!!!) Anyway, here Shep defends the rights of satellite-radio anchors to broadcast homeless making jokes about raping Condi Rice. On Fox News! Defending the First Amendment! Even when it pertains to the Bush Administration!! Is there anything this man's nuts can't handle? Aside from, well, quitting his job??? More »
