Did This Cop Mishandle A Female Protester?

Sadie Stein — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 17:39:00 EST

Some feel that in this video, from a protest in Puerto Rico, a cop deliberately fondles the breasts of a handcuffed woman. It's unclear whether or not that's actually what's going on here, but it's just adding to the unrest. More »

Paging Jeremiah Wright: There's A White Guy Stealing Your Show!!!

Stealing Your Show!!!" alt="Click here to read Paging Jeremiah Wright: There's A White Guy Stealing Your Show!!!" src="http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/2008/06/a4/43/small_a443a7ed26a3f179c0c12d03df748787.jpg"/>

And in the end, it was a white Catholic guy who drove Barack Obama to quit his radical, black Muslim separatist Church of Latter-Day Erstwhile Standup Comedians. Anyway, meet Father Michael Pfleger. He doesn't even preach at Trinity Church, he's just a regular on their "You Can't Do That On The Vatican" open mic nights, and dude. Here's the clip of Father mocking Hillary's sense of white entitlement climaxing with a showy display of a handkerchief and a plaintive wail of: "THERE'S A BLACK GUY STEALING MY SHOWWW." Now, a lot of you are going to be offended by Pfleger, and I would be too, if I hadn't watched it directly after checking out his fellow YouTube sensation and Hillary-turned-McCain supporter Harriet Christian whoa-viating about Obama being an "inadequate black male." Anyway, the Christian-Catholic showdown continues after the jump, where I Nexis Pfleger to learn about of his white-hating ways and briefly digress on Pakistan, Puerto Rico, Tatum O'Neal, Geraldine, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and more, with Megan after the jump.

Really, Eliot? You Interfaced With This?

This?" alt="Click here to read Really, Eliot? You Interfaced With This?" src="http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/2008/03/small_NYPcover-thumb.jpg"/>

Commenting on an Eliot Spitzer whore scandal is vaguely as exciting than reading about the intricacies of trade negotiations — and also, somewhat less important — but I had to point out this quote from a source close to Kristin "Billie" Davis (who "hails from a rough-in-tumble California trailer park.") "She personally interfaced with Spitzer a number of times." Wow, "interface." That used to be corporate jargon for "talked to" and now it is being used to denote... bareback anal. [NYP]

Barack Obama Steals Away On Sexy Tropical Paradise Island Vacation!

Moe — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:00:33 EDT

Barack Obama sure picked the right time to go on a secret vacation with Rihanna! The blind guy is STILL MAKING NEWS. Now it's co(mg)caine. Barack Obama did cocaine in the eighties. Who cares if the blind governor did cocaine in the eighties? Barack Obama probably gave it to him, and Barack Obama didn't have blindness as an excuse for needing false confidence! You know what else made news today? Sex. Not unprotected anal whore sex! Not illicit adultery in the 94th Street Days Inn sex! Not even "erotic sex"! Just sex, as in: it's fun! You should have some. Moving on: what else do we have here...elections in Zimbabwe! Can you spell Zimbabwe without Mugabe? Oh also: Sinbad! Sinbad is still in the news! Sinbad has never enjoyed such high approval ratings! Can we give Sinbad a cabinet position? And then there's some more about the war. Will the number 4,000 detract from the "myth" that the Troop Surge is a huge success? Or, on the contrary, will it remind everyone why we needed the Troop Surge to begin with? No one knows! Also, that part about Barack and Rihanna is totally unsubstantiated. We just don't know very much about the Virgin Islands because we never take vacation. Which is why Glamocracy's Megan and I are here to IM every morning for your commenting pleasure. More »

Hillary And Barack Can't Morph Into One Supercandidate, But Wouldn't It Be Cool If They Could?

Moe — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:30:00 EDT

Yeah, how do we know when the this fucking nomination process has gone on too long? When the candidates' lives have not only been covered breathlessly in US Weekly, ostensibly dignified magazines like The New Republic have started co-opting their "if they mated" feature. [TNR]

Drama Queens

Jessica — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 15:30:00 EST

The plot thickens in the Miss Puerto Rico pepper spray incident. There is some speculation that Ingrid Marie Rivera, the pageant winner, fabricated the entire scenario. Rivera claims that rivals doused her dress and makeup with pepper spray before she went on stage. This morning on the Today Show, anchors Meredith Vieira and Matt Lauer wondered how Rivera would have been able to stop crying between camera appearances had she really been pepper sprayed.

Beauty Queen Doused With Pepper Spray, Says God Wanted Her to Win

Jessica — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 09:30:00 EST

The saboteurs who called in a bomb threat during the final day of the Puerto Rican Miss Universe competition totally stole their idea from the Sandra Bullock vehicle Miss Congeniality. And the beauty queens behind the bomb scare may have been same women who slathered pageant victor Ingrid Marie Rivera's gown and makeup with pepper spray! (Her competitors were probably hiding the spray in their enormous pageant up dos a la Amy Winehouse.) Though she was dreadfully uncomfortable and pretty splotchy, Rivera — who broke out in hives — persevered because she realized that Jesus had her back. "'Am I a masochist?'" she wondered. "But I said: 'I am with God and this is my goal, regardless of the results.'" More »
