Sure, there is another maid-groping problem in the news with former Egyptian banker Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar at yet another Manhattan hotel, but these groping stories are becoming another eye-rolling weekly headline – and, we know that “all men are pigs” per the recent newz stories. My main concern at this particular time is for the safety of maids at high-end hotels in New York. Is someone slipping Viagra into those “Welcome” baskets per chance?
In U.S. politics, the lull in the choice of GOP front-runners for the presidential hooty pageant is gathering momentum now that Mitt Romney is gaining reluctant support. He is touting the “I’m really one of you” GOP messages by echoing the “Obama is the most ineffective president EVER” lines to overcome the distrust of those who think he is a closet Socialist. Too bad his healthcare package for Massachusetts has been more than reasonably successful. Such a stain on a Republican brain!
Writing of a Republican brain makes my head hurt. Michelle Bachmann (House Rep. - MN), the extremely-extreme Nutty Queen, is becoming testy over media-fueled comparisons between herself/she/her and Sarah Palin. According to reports today via The Hill, Bachmann believes she is on the level of our current president rather than that wily Moose-killer-governor-drop-out from Alaska. For once, I agree with Bachmann. What they have in common, from my observation, is that both are women in the Republican/Tea Party land and both fell asleep in History and Geography classes.
Beyond the above, Bachmann is consistent with her oft-misguided messages and does not display a petulant attitude when the media and Democrats make hissing sounds when she’s around them. When she is irked, at least she doesn’t sound like a whining cat who wants attention.
On the fluffy side of life, celebrities are continuing to follow politicians with “foot-in-mouth” dis-ease. Angelina Jolie recently said one of the more inane statements of her public life when she told an interviewer that Brad Pitt was “a gentleman.”
What? I would believe her had I not seen numerous videos and non-photo-shopped stills of how disrespectful he has been to her in public over the past few years when he has literally pushed her away from him; dragged-pulled her by the wrist from cameras without grace; continually grabbed her butt during staged photo-ops (not just hand-on-butt but a grab-on-butt with a smirk); walks ten feet in front of her while carrying one child, leaving her with the rest of the brood with a shocked expression on her face more than a dozen times.
There’s more… Suffice to say I do not consider his actions to be that of “a gentleman” despite some appearances. Oh Angie! Do you know what a “gentleman” truly is? I do believe your first husband, actor Johnny Lee Miller, might be a better example.
Now you know why I used the word “landscrape” at the top of this post.
Later……
