Tina Fey, Ellen DeGeneres, London & Canada News Sources

[susankh4]

Here's another link to Tina Fey for Hillary:
http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/2008/02/25/fey/index.html

Apparently the video had over a million hits yesterday. It's all over the alternative press today. Including this link from "Salon." Once it became all the rage, Youtube took it down over copyright issues. But it has cropped back up there in several places today. So it's quite easy to find now... if you are looking.

I have returned to news sources outside of the U.S. for my political news. It's been serving me quite well. I found out, from Canada, that Ellen DeGeneres is supporting Hillary:
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/080226/entertainment/clinton_ellen_degeneres_1

I've discovered that London knew (before the US media did?) that the Clinton Camp had "responded swiftly" to deny accusations of having any part in circulating Obama's "muslim smear photo."

(CNN and FOX still aren't telling us about the response ..... I guess it's too late, and they figure the damage is done? Hooray for their Dem. dream candidate! Touche for Mr. McCain.)

The Brits are actually quite entertained by the US electoral process at this moment. They are seeing the inevitable "Barack-lash""

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/dominic-lawson/dominic-lawson-obama-must-beware-of-turning-into-a-cult-787298.html
and apparently hoping it comes sooner, than later. I mean, U.S. foreign policy is not really a laughing matter for them.

On a more personal note, I unfriended a Tribe member for posting anti-Hillary propaganda in my blog yesterday. As has always been the case, that I will not tolerate overt hatred in my blog.... at any time. I don't post smears about Barack Obama. And I certainly don't want to see them posted about the candidate I support. Credible news source information is fine. But... a RWM hate video calling the Clintons liars and thieves? Nope, not in my blog.

Dems should simply not be treating one another that way.

1. Yay for Ellen Degeneres!

I love Ellen! :loveya: I miss being able to watch her show. She always cheered me up. :cry:

Thanks for posting all these links. I'm starting to read through them now.

2. That last paragraph of your last link is powerful.

Especially the last sentence:

Perhaps most troubling of all, what will be their reaction if he is elected, but the celestial choirs fail to appear and the world refuses to be perfect?

Wow!

I just blogged about this very thing, and I wrote: and he'd better be ready to face the wrath of his own party if everyone doesn't get the exact pony on his/her personal wish list.

6. This is not strictly political

But here it is:

there are some cut and pastes, of late, from my DU to my Tribe.

That's just because I am really into the political process at the moment.

4. Hey, thanks for the links!

And yes, Canada and the UK are great sources of news to counterbalance the damnably one-sided coverage of the primaries here.

And you have to read Yahoo! Canada to read news about Ellen's great endorsement? Gotta watch that episode of Ellen, then! Thanks much!
