| ESPN has apologized for Brent Musburger´s comments about Katherine Webb during the BCS national championship game between Alabama and Notre Dame, even though the beauty queen apparently did not find his words offensive. "If he had worded it different and said we were hot, or sexy, or commented on our body parts, it would have been completely different," Webb, the reigning Miss Alabama USA, told Esquire. "I didn’t take any offense to it, because I think it’s OK for a man to tell a woman that she’s beautiful, no matter what age."

Comments:
She is a beauty queen! She struts her stuff in a bikini on stage. She is intelligent... And Matt Lauer and other nitwits expect her to be offended when someone calls her "gorgeous". Nothing stupider than a New York liberal.

I heard Musberger´s comments. Not a thing wrong with what he said. It was a little school-boyish, but gentlemenly. If the suits were offended by this, how must they feel at the comments of many of the players. Yet, you hear no complaints about them. And Miss Webb appears to be more mature than the whole lot.

At the ceremonial (fake) swearing in of new senators, Joe Biden told Heidi somebody, a new senator, to spread her legs so that she could be frisked. (presumably by him)
And not one feminist said anything about that.
His comment was perhaps more gross than something said by any womanizer in any bar in the united states.
And not one feminist said anything...

I´m a man. I know what he was thinking and I know why he said it. Not a big deal but poor taste from the sniveling little runt, Musberger. How anyone can stand the guy is beyond me. I always thought he had more interest in the locker room than women.

Now that the folks up north have seen a small sampling of the beauty and grace of southern women, maybe they will think twice before they stereotype them all as toothless hayseeds, but I doubt it.

It was a slow news morning, so Morning Joke had to say something. Notre Dame was getting blown out, so naturally the conversation turned to faces in the crowd, as is typical. Brent was not demeaning in any way, it was very complementary. No story.

That was a horrible game that was totally out of hand by the time Musburger said that.
Those guys had to be desperate to find something to talk about, since the game wasn´t the least bit interesting after about the first 10 minutes.
She is attractive. I don´t blame Musburger for pointing it out, and didn´t think it was creepy in any way.
But I guess he broke the first commandment of the lie-beral PC police, and actually said out loud what every man (and most women) in America were thinking when they saw her -- that her boyfriend was a VERY lucky guy!!!!!

The Senate’s immigration bill is getting a boost from Jeb Bush, the former GOP governor of Florida and a possible future candidate for the GOP’s 2016 nomination.Also, his article was a contribution to an advocacy effort by the progressive groups and business groups, which are trying to pass the bill. “Thanks to the bipartisan work taking place in the House and Senate right now, I am encouraged Washington might pass comprehensive reform this year,” he wrote in an article for The Huffington Post.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — No one at the Catholic high school that fired Carla Hale in March claimed that she was anything less than a terrific physical education teacher and coach, devoted to the kids and adored by many of them. No one accused her of bringing her personal life into the gym or onto the fields. By nature she’s private. And she loved her job too much to risk it that way. But she lost it nonetheless, and the how is as flabbergasting as the why is infuriating. Rather suddenly, her mother died, and an hour afterward

Before Congress is finished with the Internal Revenue Service, there’s a serious danger some of us are going to wind up feeling sorry for the auditors.And, honestly, that is not the way we were planning on spending the spring. Especially since it appears that there are people making decisions at the I.R.S. who have the intelligence of a wet Frisbee. But, so far, the Congressional hearings of outrage have been even less sympathetic.

Let’s try to come up with some positive thoughts about the recent political fortunes of the Obama White House: • Economy’s getting a little better. Deficit’s dropping. • Bill Clinton had a really terrible second term and look how well things turned out for him. • Nobody in the administration has been caught driving to Canada with Bo the dog strapped to the car roof. It’s been quite a week, what with the I.R.S. scandal, the Benghazi controversy and revelations about the Justice Department’s sweep of The Associated Press’s phone records.

Jason Richwine, the young conservative scholar who co-authored the Heritage Foundation report on the long-term costs of the amnesty bill backed by the “Gang of Eight,” is gone from Heritage. He was purged after The Washington Post unearthed his doctoral dissertation at the JFK School of Government. Richwine’s thesis: IQ tests fairly measure mental ability. The average IQ of immigrants is well below that of white Americans. This difference in IQ is likely to persist through several generations. And the potential consequences of this? “A lack of socioeconomic assimilation among low IQ immigrant groups

New Orleans police have released a video that shows a possible suspect in the shooting that wounded 19 people at a Mother´s Day parade. The surveillance video shows the crowd dispersing and some falling to the ground before one person in a white T-shirt and dark pants flees. The image of the man isn´t clear but police say they hope someone will recognize him. The wounded included 10 adult men and seven women as well as a boy and a girl, both 10.

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol defended former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from partisan political attacks over the tragedy in Benghazi, while also urging non-partisan investigations into that incident and the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups during the 2012 election. Kristol denounced American Crossroads’ anti-Hillary ads, asking “What is the point of that?” and calling them “ridiculous.” “There’s no campaign going on,”Kristol continued, adding “Let’s pull the partisanship back. It’s genuine outrage. There should be bipartisan committees investigating both from Congress. So I wish the Republicans would just be quiet,

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
