What a colossal douche and really, just about everything under
Politics should be under Glorious Fail (except Colbert)
This has happened time and time again, but especially with
Gingrich knowing copyright laws. Good lord Butt munch.
[glow=red,2,300]Gingrich sued for using 'Eye of the
Tiger'[/glow]
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich faces a lawsuit
over his use of "Eye of the Tiger," the theme song to the movie
"Rocky III," court documents show.
The claim for copyright infringement, lodged on Monday by Rude
Music Inc in an Illinois federal court, relates to Gingrich's
use of the song at his political rallies.
Rude Music Inc is owned by Frank Sullivan, who co-wrote the
Grammy-award winning song. In addition to Gingrich, the
complaint names his campaign, Newt 2012 Inc, and the American
Conservative Union, an advocacy organization, as defendents.
The complaint states that the violation it alleges is
intentional since Gingrich is "sophisticated and knowledgeable"
concerning copyright laws. Rude Music Inc has requested the
court to order an end to unauthorized use of the song by the
defendents, and to award Rude Music Inc damages.

A Gingrich campaign spokesman could not immediately be reached
for comment.

Gingrich's mindset and one of the reasons why I detest him as
much as I do is that he thinks the law doesn't apply to him.

As seen on The Colbert Report on Monday, a suggestion by Stephen
that the remaining Republican Candidates form a band (KISS) to
combat Obama's singing that's sure to win him the Presidency
again. Newt was chosen as Gene Simmons because......
...I'll let you guess.
FYI, if you're asking yourself why this isn't in the KISS
thread, then you don't know me very well. I wouldn't dare
tarnish that thread with these bozo's.

Let's give equal time. From one douche to the next. If I were a
staunch republican, I would think I'd be thinking, aw crap, this
is what I have to choose from?
[glow=red,2,300]Romney: 'I'm not concerned about the very poor'
HTML http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/01/10289765-romney-im-not-concerned-about-the-very-poor[/glow]
[quote]All political candidates -- just like all non-politicians
-- make verbal gaffes.
On Monday, for example, Republicans jumped on President Obama
for saying the word "interesting" when a woman asked him a
question about her unemployed husband. (In that exchange, Obama
asked the woman to send her husband's resume to him.)
But in politics, what becomes damaging is when a verbal gaffe
fits a pre-existing narrative. And that's what happened today
when Mitt Romney uttered the words: "I'm not concerned about the
very poor."
In an interview this morning, CNN's Soledad O'Brien asked Romney
about perceptions that he doesn't understand the needs of
average Americans. In response, Romney said:
This is a time people are worried. They're frightened. They
want someone who they have confidence in. And I believe I will
be able to instill that confidence in the American people. And,
by the way, I'm in this race because I care about Americans.
I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net
there. If it needs repair, I'll fix it.
I'm not concerned about the very rich, they're doing just
fine. I'm concerned about the very heart of the America, the 90,
95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling and I'll
continue to take that message across the nation.
When O'Brien followed on Romney's
I'm-not-concerned-about-the-very-poor comment, the presidential
candidate responded:
The challenge right now – we will hear from the Democrat
Party the plight of the poor, and – and there’s no question,
it's not good being poor and we have a safety net to help those
that are very poor.
But my campaign is focused on middle income Americans. My
campaign – you can choose where to focus. You can focus on the
rich. That's not my focus. You can focus on the very poor.
That's not my focus.
(In fact, according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, the
largest benefits of Romney's tax plan go to the wealthy, not the
middle class.)
Romney's comment about not being concerned about the poor is his
latest statement that his rivals -- either Democratic or
Republican -- could use to portray Romney as being out of touch
with average Americans. Other examples:
-- his $10,000 bet with Rick Perry (at December GOP debate)
-- "I like being able to fire people," even though he was
referring to insurers (at speech in New Hampshire)
-- "There were a couple of times I wondered if I was going to
get a pink slip" (during remarks in New Hampshire)
-- saying that questions about economic inequality are "about
envy" (on "TODAY" back in January)
-- and the ultimate release of his 2010 tax returns, which
showed him paying an effective tax rate of less than
15%.[/quote]

Prostitutes are people too.
On the flip side, giving anything to any politician is not in my
thinking.

[glow=red,2,300]Peter Gabriel pulls music from Limbaugh show
over Fluke furor[/glow]
My main man... Mr. Gabriel!!!
Thank you for your part on telling bloated asshat what you
think.
[quote]Advertisers aren’t the only ones pulling their products
from "The Rush Limbaugh Radio Show."
In the wake of host Rush Limbaugh’s attack on Georgetown student
and birth control advocate Sandra Fluke, musician Peter Gabriel
has moved to have his music withdrawn from the controversial
program. After learning that his song “Sledgehammer” was played
during Limbaugh’s rant, in which he called Fluke a “slut” and a
“prostitute,” a spokesperson for Gabriel released the following
statement:
"Peter was appalled to learn that his music was linked to
Rush Limbaugh's extraordinary attack on Sandra Fluke. It is
obvious from anyone that knows Peter's work that he would never
approve such a use. He has asked his representatives to make
sure his music is withdrawn and especially from these unfair
aggressive and ignorant comments."
The move comes following a mass exodus of sponsors for the
program, including ProFlowers, Legal Zoom, Citrix Systems, Tax
Resolutions, Sleep Train, Sleep Number, Quicken Loans and the
Cleveland Cavaliers basketball teams.
The conservative firebrand sparked outrage when he said that
Fluke, a college student who was denied the right to speak at a
contraception hearing, was "having so much sex she can't pay for
it" and that women who want insurance plans to cover their birth
control should post videos of themselves having sex online.
Limbaugh issued an apology following the attack, in which he
states: "For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with
absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this
instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the
situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms.
Fluke."[/quote]

Limbaugh is a f u c k i n g idiot. It's funny how he can call
the chick a s l u t and a p r o s t i t u t e and then turn
around and issue an apology because he is losing sponsors, i.e.
money. Hmmm....apology + money = hypocritical p r o s t i t u t
e.
I just don't like that guy.

I don't have such kind words to describe him.
Supposedly this guy has what, 20+ million listeners? Where are
they? I've met 2 in my lifetime. And those are the ones to admit
they do. Maybe it's me. I don't want to associate with people
who like what he does.

[glow=red,2,300]Stephen Colbert hits 'snooze' on his Countdown
to Loving Mitt clock

Too funny
[quote]There may be many people who considered Super Tuesday
worthy of its superlative, but don't count Stephen Colbert or
Jon Stewart among them. On Wednesday, both "The Colbert Report"
and "The Daily Show" hosts tore into the idea that the big
vote-a-thon had any role in decisively picking the front-runner
for the 2012 Republican ticket.
Colbert called it a "a big, sweaty pile of lever-yankin'
Republican voters." And for those who find that characterization
disrespectful, he explained: "like most orgies, it involves a
bunch of middle-aged guys who are not appealing to women."
