Another politicized Oscars

Well, no surprise, but Hollywood liberals politicized the Oscars this year. Again.

The only real surprise to this is who did it. It was not a loudmouth, ego-inflated star like Alec Baldwin. It was a loudmouthed, ego-inflated cinematographer, instead; and one who needed the best diet pills available, from all appearances.

Winning cinematographer and Hollywood-dweller Wally Pfister decided he had more insight into what’s good for Wisconsin than, well, Wisconsinites. Tilting his lance at Governor Scott Walker’s face-off with state unions, Pfister used his win to pontificate to the unwashed masses, saying, “I think that what is going on in Wisconsin is kind of madness right now.”

Hey, we get it; you’re a union guy and you’re showing solidarity. But you’re not a Wisconsin taxpayer, so just hush up, will you?

Axelrod leads White House to doghouse

David Axelrod, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, appeared on National Public Radio’s game show, “Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me,” and, among other embarrassments, compared Miss California to a canine in what passes for “liberal intelligentsia humor” these days… in other words, crass name-calling.

Miss California Carrie Prejean has been a target of the left ever since she answered honestly and humbly a question about gay marriage during the recent Miss USA pageant. Yet there is no outcry from the National Organization of Women so far over Axelrod’s comparison of Prejean, who is a woman, but not a liberal woman.

All of this undermines President Obama, who recently confirmed that he does not support gay marriage either, but has yet to suffer Axelrod’s canine comparisons for his stance. Perhaps Axelrod’s a bit too overwhelmed with presidential butt-sniffing to critique his boss with the same venom as a beauty pageant contestant unfamiliar with the best diet pills… then again, Obama might bite back, which shows the level of Axelrod’s intellectual cowardice.

Is Mike Huckabee a contender?

The nation’s still recovering from eight years of Bill Clinton, but former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a Republican, thinks America’s ready for another Razorback in the White House.

Now, granted, Huckabee’s drawn some attention for his incredible in-office weight loss efforts. If he was running for The Biggest Loser, he’d be a strong candidate. If I wanted to know which are the best diet pills, Mike’s my guy.

But president? Of the whole USA, or just of Weight Watchers? Sure, there are some interesting aspects to the idea. Huckabee actually was born in Hope, Arkansas, whereas Slick Willie was actually from Hot Springs. Huckabee was also only the third Republican to win the state house down there since Reconstruction, and he managed to be named one of the five best Governors in the US by TIME Magazine.

Now, granted, Huckabee is a far more genuine conservative that anyone else out in the GOP field. He is a former Baptist minister and has given lip-service, at least, to teaching creation science theory alongside Darwin.

But if Bill Clinton has taught America, and especially Republicans, anything, it’s this: Never, ever trust an Arkansas governor. Hopefully, Huckabee won’t be the only option for conservatives in 2008.
