Shame in a Shameless Culture

The tragedy of Tyler Clementi’s suicide has drawn much commentary. We are not surprised that Pam Spaulding seizes the opportunity to lecture us about “homophobia” — the scare-quotes necessitated, as I always note, by the pseudo-diagnostic nature of the term. Stipulate that such a phenomenon as “homophobia” exists, that there are people who have an irrational […]

Awesome! Ace of Spades Gets in Touch With His Inner Social Conservative

Admittedly, a social conservative famous for slinging f-bombs and sodomy jokes, but a social conservative nonetheless: This was just evil for evil’s sake. She wanted to be even more famous than she is (and she is already quite a bit more famous than her present, but very limited, talents would recommend), and she decided to […]

GOP Shocked as Sex Scandal Strikes Christine O’Donnell Carl Paladino?

Two words you never want to hear about your candidate: “Baby mama.” Unfortunately, we’re also going to hear some words from the woman done wrong by the Republican Party’s answer to John Edwards: BUFFALO — It was just about a year ago, hours after the death of her son in a car crash, that Cathy Paladino’s […]

‘Same Old Place, Sweet Home Chicago’

Remember the bikini bombshell? Lots of laughs. Good times. But is it possible that a Democrat like Jesse Jackson Jr. could actually lose in Chicago? Never say never, as I point out in my latest American Spectator column: Isaac Hayes wasn’t always happy to share the same name as a singer famed for “Shaft” and other 1970s […]

Waiting to Exhale in Chicago

Our recent encounter with a certain bikini-clad blonde was good for blog traffic — thank you, Professor Reynolds — and elicited some mirthful commentary about D.C. cocktail hostess Giovana Huidobro‘s services to Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Corruption). But Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell isn’t laughing: What’s going on with U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is the […]

As If I Actually Needed an Excuse to Post This Picture of a Blonde in a Bikini

Conveniently enough, she managed to get herself involved in a serious political news story: Now, far be it from me to throw the first stone here. After all, who are we to judge? Or more to the point, who are we to make tasteless jokes about Giovana Huidobro and her married (alleged) boyfriend, Rep. Jesse […]

In Desperate Effort to End Flame War Between Allahpundit and Dan Riehl, Former Playboy Model Karissa Shannon and Boyfriend Agree to Release Sex Video

Blessed are the peacemakers, who figure they might as well cash in on their D-list notoriety: Sources close to the couple tell us they both agreed to a deal with Vivid Entertainment when the offer hit the “six-figure range.” What? You wanted pictures?
