Scarlett Johansson says that she was embarrassed by the media coverage of her ‘e-mail relationship’ with Senator Barack Obama. She says, “It seemed to me to be like a product of extreme sexism, and I kept thinking to myself, ‘God, if this was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney or any of the other (Obama) surrogates or supporters … there wouldn’t be (any) question about it. Nobody would even talk about it. I was merely trying to express my delight at Obama’s commitment to his campaign in every aspect and his interest and his support (in) his surrogates and his staff and his fellows, and how wonderful and refreshing that is. And it was manipulated into such an unfortunate media frenzy of kind of a nonstory.”
Scarlett had been quoted saying that she and Obama had exchanged several emails. Barack later stated that she didn’t actually have his direct email address and that he replied ‘once’ to an email that his assistant forwarded to him from Scarlett. Source
She should feel embarrassed. She basically lied and got called out. Silly rabbit.

Finally, thanks to Pabz I have something “interesting” to share about John McCain. Check out the vid and tell me what you think.
I don’t think that he flip flops on the issues or lies or anything like that. The poor guy is old. Paw Paw can’t remember things like he used to.
In Other Poop…
Barack’s got another backer…
“Former Vice President Al Gore formally endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, on stage before 20,000 people at a rally Monday night in Detroit. ‘The outcome of this election will affect the future of this planet,’ Gore said at Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena. ‘We’ve got to have new leadership. Not only a new president, but new policies.’ Some in the political arena, including Democratic strategist and former Clinton aide James Carville, have tossed Gore’s name into Obama’s running mate hat. The notion, however, seems unlikely, as Gore is likely to decline the position.” Source

I’d like to state, before I start this post, that I’ve been posting mostly about Barack and Hilary. It’s not that I don’t want to post about the republican side of the race…it’s just that…well, McCain is so BORING. I go online every day and look for interesting things to write about him and find myself nodding off and face planting into my keyboard. In all reality this is an entertainment news blog…so if I can’t even remain entertained, how do I expect to entertain you. With that said…On to the poop!
As some of you have heard a Fox News anchor recently refered to Michelle Obama as Barack’s ‘baby mama’. Everyone is up in arms about it. But what everyone seems to forget is that Michelle refered to Barack as
My Baby Daddy the night he won his Senate seat in ’04. Whether or not this anchor was aware of Michelle’s earlier reference is neither here nor there. The point is when Michelle used the term in public she opened herself up to have the term and all it’s forms used in reference to her.
( sidebar: I don’t even think she’s spoken out about this so she probably doesn’t care. Us black folk just like being mad. )
But back to what I was saying, do I think the anchor was right? No, it was inappropriate. She was sitting at a news desk, not on the stoop somewhere in Ghettotown, USA. But I do think there are other things to be upset about.

LIKE THIS…
I must admit that when I first saw this I laughed. It’s a monkey. Monkeys are cute. Monkeys are funny. I like monkeys. Then I realized what this monkey was representing and my face became taut and strained and out came a big annoyed sigh. A monkey? Really? Yes, he has large ears and is brown but you mean to tell me that NO ONE in the marketing department said, “Hey guys, I don’t think this is such a good idea.”? The company that was going to sell the doll has since stopped production on Monkey Obama and issued an apology. Source (If you go to the source I suggest you read the comments…they’re…interesting)
Finally in Obamapoolooza…
J-Ho payed Barack Obama a visit last week. She didn’t actually meet with him though, but instead hung with his staff for a minute. This visit only fuels rumors that she’s going to record a song for Obama’s campaign.
“She just came in for the meeting and departed,” says the spokesman. He adds: “It was not campaign-related.”
When asked what brought her to the Hill, Lopez smiled. “I’m not ready to do any press yet,” she said, her eyes hidden behind a pair of big, black sunglasses. Source
Ummm…yea, I can see the video now, J-ho in a pair of riding pants and thigh high boots, shakin’ her booty in front of Barack, whilst singing “Bama From the Block” in a synthesized voice. Jesus take me now!

In other Political Poop…
SVEDKA Vodka had a full page ad in the New York Times offering Hillary Clinton a coupon to redeem free vodka for the rest of the election season. The ad thanks Hilz for making the election season so exciting and encourages her to sit back and have herself a drank.

Yea, that or allow herself to sink into the dark abysmal realm of alcoholism because she’s such a failure.

Hilary is dunzo and what’s left to do but sit down, shut up, and tip her hat to Barack the BOMBER! Just kidding. I know nothing of politics. But what I do know is that Hilz is finished and is backing Obama. When she stepped down this past weekend she told her supporters to shift support to Barack. She said they should
“take our energy, our passion and our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama … I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.” CNN
Shortly after Barack had this to say:
“Obviously, I am thrilled and honored to have Sen. Clinton’s support. But more than that, I honor her today for the valiant and historic campaign she has run. She shattered barriers on behalf of my daughters and women everywhere, who now know that there are no limits to their dreams. And she inspired millions with her strength, courage and unyielding commitment to the cause of working Americans.”

Just kidding…I’m no good at this straight news stuff…sigh. I should just flush my journalism degree in the terlet.

I’ve been waiting to comment on the presidential race until all this boring primary kibble is over with. Now that Barack has cinched the democratic nomination I’m good to go. But and however, our home girl Hilary just doesn’t know when to quit. NO MEANS NO! Hoe sit down! I must say that I have nothing against Hilz generally speaking. And one of the only things I know about Barack is that he looks pretty sweet in a pair of flat front slacks. As far as I’m concerned a politician is a politician is a politician. But its refreshing to see the possibility of having a leader who looks like…me.
OK, so this is how this is going to work. I’ll try to do a political wrap up at least once a week until the results are in. What shall we call it? I was thinking Political Poop ’08 but I’m willing to accept suggestions.
While we’re talking about politics I came across this pic on
O Hell Naw! And the first thought I was WAS NOT ‘Dang that’s inspirational”. NO. My first thought was “Dang all those men in the background are dead…five of which were assassinated.”
Yea…think about it
