How Does Lara Logan Get Iraq News On National TV? A Little Thing She Learned From The Terrorists… Lara Logan is a CBS News correspondent in Iraq who just got a big promotion after telling Jon Stewart last that the "soldiers feel forgotten." The promotion means she will come back to DC, which won't necessarily help the soldiers' predicament much, but…well, I'd say at least she probably won't die, but she said herself on national television that watching American television news makes her want to kill herself. If you haven't seen the clip yet, — or if you were too distracted by how fucking gorgeous she is to catch everything she said about self-censorship and the plight of the soldiers and how scant coverage of the latest massive roadside bombing that left more than 50 dead might suggest we've become dehumanized or something — click the picture. (Or if that's too depressing, check our literary critique of Vogue's impressive profile of Ms. Logan.) [Daily Show]

Barack Obama Tries His Hand At Telemarketing

Barack Obama was on The Daily Show last night, and Jon Stewart managed to make an actually funny joke about the way the primary campaign has dragged on wayyyy too long for anyone to feel capable of joking about anymore. Then he tested Obama's ability to "hope up" simple common phrases, and let's just say that if telemarketers got their training from this guy we'd have a National "Do Call" List. The only missed opportunity was not asking him to try out, "I'm not aware of too many things, I know what I know if you know what I mean." Clip above.

Shia LaBeouf Is A Wanted Man

  • Authorities have beef with Shia: A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Mr. LaBeouf — he got a ticket in February for unlawful smoking and never showed up in court. Whoops! [TMZ]
  • Those Kristin Davis photos? Real! Snapped in 1992 by an ex-boyfriend. [TMZ]
  • Ethan Hawke: Not over Uma? He recently sang a song at the 24-Hour Plays event with lyrics like "My wife hates me," and "My wife is a big fat beast." WTF. [New York Magazine]
  • Oh, no. A feud has broken out in Heath Ledger's family regarding his estate. Heath's uncles are not happy that Heath's father, Kim, is in charge of the money — since when Heath's grandfather died 15 years ago, Kim was removed as executor of the estate after mishandling and mismanaging the assets. Messy, and sad. [People]
  • Does Amy Winehouse really have impetigo? It could also be MRSA! A doc who doesn't treat Amy says she "should not be coming into close contact with other people while she has open sores," blerg. [TMZ]

Hillary Clinton On The Daily Show: Jon Stewart Is Totes A Better Interviewer Than Tyra

Last night Hillary Clinton was on The Daily Show, via satellite from Austin, Texas. As we were watching, we were like, "Damn, Jon Stewart is asking the smartest questions ever." And they were pretty good ones, but we also realized that we were subconsciously comparing them to the questions that Tyra asked Hillary, so it was easy to sound kinda like a genius. Clip above.

Did Cindy McCain Grow Her Hair So John Could Tell Her Apart From His Lobbyist Stalker Mistress?

Can you tell the difference between these two ladies? Can John McCain? See, one is John McCain's patriotic wife, and one is some telecom lobbyist who liked to show up at his events and tell her bosses that John McCain was doing her all sorts of favors. So did he go down on her? Can you do that with dentures? Did former campaign strategist John Weaver tell the media about how he had to chase Vicki Iseman away from McCain because he's still mad McCain didn't go along with his prescient plan to defect from the Republican Party back in 2000? Probably doubtful! But is this why that other McCain adviser says he's leaving the campaign if his guy ends up running against Mr. Nuclear Family Obama? Maybe so! More scurrilous gossip/hearsay/hypothetical conspiracy theorizing with me and Glamocracy Megan after the jump! More »

BREAKING OMG: Did John McCain Bone Blonde Lobbyist?!

  • Maybe no.. But he would have, if loyal advisers had not protected him from himself! Loyal advisers who are now telling the Times all about it? (Loyal advisers who wish he had left the GOP? Seems poss!) Vicki Iseman. A youthful-looking 40. Pretty! Deny deny deny. Gary Hart was his groomsman, you know! The "miracle" Huckabee's been waiting for? [NYT]
  • Let's be clear, Bill O'Reilly doesn't want to "lynch" Michelle Obama. Not until he has enough "evidence." He will "track it down." [Media Matters]
  • Tucker Carlson just said he thinks she's got a "chip on her shoulder." Not that there's anythign wrong with that.
  • All she was talking about was the record turnout! [CBS News]
  • And let's go back to the chip thing for a sec. As Chris Matthews so helpfully pointed out this morning, slavery was in the Constitution. She grew up bound and determined to succeed, flung herself into an Ivy League bastion of entrenched privilege and classism and survived. Better than can be said for some of us but whatevs. [WSJ]

Latest by Cthulhah Bankhead: First time I saw Jon Stewart, he was hosting "The Jon Stewart Show" on MTV, wearing a nubbly sweater, and climbing into William Shatner's lap entreating "Hold me, Bill!" I've been more or less his for the asking ever since. more »
