cheney’s “Worst Thing” Was the Duck Hunting Accident?

Like missing the Obama iPhone App story from yesterday, I don’t know how this one slipped by my radar…

Jesus christ – and I try not to over use the JC bomb – but, did she really just say that the worst thing cheney was part of was a duck hunting accident? Seriously? How about the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal? Oh my god.

I can assure you that the mccain camp is relieved this Couric segment has concluded. Ouch.

New Obama iPhone Application Review – Pretty Sweet App

As mentioned by the NY Times here on showcased on Digg yesterday here (I somehow missed the Digg story), the Obama camp recently released a new iPhone App.  My overly bias political viewpoints aside, this campaign knows how to use technology.

Along with my Election 08, WordPress, Pandora, and Facebook App, this is definitely one of my favorite Apps in terms of functionality.  As seen in the screenshots below, it’s is far more advanced than many of the aforementioned Apps I utilize on a daily basis and of course it’s free.  Download the App today!

Mel Kuhn (a Mayor in Kansas) Apologizes for Appearing in Blackface Drag

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,432023,00.html

The following quotes from the article are straight out of something you would see from Michael Scott on The Office…

  • Kuhn appeared dressed as a character which he called “Smellishis Poon,” with his face painted dark for the event. But Kuhn told FOXNews.com that he was not in blackface, but in “tanface,” and did not intend to offend anyone. “Blackface is shoepolish,” he said. “That’s not what I did. I dressed up to win and because it was so hilarious.” According to the NAACP, he also had suggestive back-up dancers for the talent portion of his performance, which he called the “Red Hot Puntangs.” “We danced to black music. The Weather Girls and Aretha Franklin,” Kuhn told FOXNews.com.
  • While he won the award that night for the “most creative talent,” several local residents found the performance to be insulting and racially offensive, the Arkansas City Traveler reported. Kuhn initially defended his actions, saying he originally meant to portray an “over-the-top woman,” and that he didn’t care what people thought.
  • Instead, he said, painting his face and portraying a black woman “was the best way to win.” “I had to make it as fun as possible,” he told FOXNews.com. “That was the best way I could think of to make as many people laugh as possible and raise money for this charity” Kuhn added that he was saddened that the event had been “blown so out of proportion,” by the local media and bloggers. “I am the mayor of a small town in Kansas,” Kuhn told FOXNews.com. “We are poor people, but we don’t have poor ways. To paint me as a racist is just not right.”

I personally think Rudy Giuliani looked better dressed in drag – but, you decide…

Burchie, thank you.
