If the Al Gore or John Kerry’s daughter(s) hung out with Heidi from The Hills, how do you think your liberal media would have covered it? Do you think they would have spent more time on it that they did Hillary’s new hairdo?
Look. I really don’t really care if John McCain’s luscious little daughter is friends with Heidi, or even Spencer, and his Creepy Flesh Colored Beard.
It just pisses me off to think about how Your Liberal Media would have fixated on it FOR DAYS if it were the other way around.

Dude, I have seen enough stories about ol’ mannish looking Chelsea Clinton too. I don’t even know why you got on this topic.
They are called “Chill Pills.”

Here’s an interesting media report. Anyone care to correct the errors for them? i.e. - read the investigative report dummies- Heather was never conferred a degree. And the democratic controlled WV legislature voted against a judicial investigation as Weeks proposed. Why doesn’t Manchin tell them to go ahead and conduct one if there’s nothing to hide?

Truly. My wife and I have written Joel McHale several times asking him to move in with us. Apparently, though, he has his own house, wife, baby, and recently added restraining order and armed guards.
July 18, 2008 at 11:40 am
Uh oh. I really am sorry, but I have to be the stupid one and ask: What is “The Hills,” who is Heidi, what irony is involved with liberal media covering this, which liberal medium IS covering it, what is so strange about it, why does it matter? I hope I’m just in the wrong generation and not actually as ignorant as I feel.
July 18, 2008 at 11:47 am
Mntnmama, thanks for asking my question. Sometimes, though, ignorance is bliss.
July 18, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Yeah, actually, you’re better off not knowing.
Speaking of ignorance, you HAVE to check out the comments on the Chas papers sites. It’s like the anti-Gawker.
July 18, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Thanks, Lawbot for the comments tip. Will do.
TT & MnM: I didn’t even know McCain had kids, nor cared.
July 18, 2008 at 2:11 pm
HK,
Bored now.
Wouldn’t give a shit who was covered by whom and why. The Bush daughters weren’t given a pass at any point. I guess I should be pissed off about that. They certainly have given Obama’s wife a pass.
Whoops waitaminnit, this is a liberal blog. Never mind. Hollywood matters here. Sorry to waste your time provoking any thoughts.
July 18, 2008 at 3:12 pm
obvious the news at WVU has slowed………..anything happeneing in the HSC?
July 18, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Good debate about research on the Garrison Stays Put thread.
July 18, 2008 at 4:25 pm
HK,
I agree with Turnip Truck Driver. You should only write about the things he wants you to write about. After all, you did create this blog for him. Plus, this being the only blog on the entire internet, where else is he supposed to go to read about things he wants to read about?
Sincerely,
Raging Red
July 18, 2008 at 4:52 pm
What is the Hills? I didn’t even know John McCain had a daughter. Shouldn’t she be like 60? Since McCain is nearly 100 years old?
July 18, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Raging Red, next thing I know you will be making a statement like the editor of the New Yorker when he said that people in states like WV don’t understand satire.
July 18, 2008 at 7:03 pm
God, I’m totally in agreement with the idea we should only talk about the HSC: humor has no place here. GOD, RR. Fuck off with you and your jokes and your idea about this being HK’s blog. Where do you get the nerve? In the parlance of the Vent Line, “this is why America’s going to hell in a handbasket.”
July 18, 2008 at 7:29 pm
I have visited this post about 15 times today just to see Heidi’s cleavage.
Daughter McCain is kinda frumpy though. At least in this picture. She appears to have potential though. If I was not enjoying Heidi’s flesh canyon so much I would google for more pics of McCain.
July 18, 2008 at 7:39 pm
What, exactly, has the media given Obama’s wife a pass on?
Could it be that she was a drug addict who stole pills from a charity organization? Oh wait. That was McCain’s wife.
July 18, 2008 at 7:53 pm
It could be worse…could be a photo of Joe Manchin’s daughter Brook. Could you imagine…a picture of her big butt on Capital street. The other blog says Gayle drinks to excess. Who can fucking blame her? If I had those kids…and was married to man-whore…I’d drink day in and day out.
Could you see Brook in a cute little dress like that? Nah….nah.. you couldn’t.
She’d have on some tight jeans, a beer bottle in one hand…and talking shit as she walked into Lane Bryants.
July 18, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Is this daughter from the wife that McCain threw under the bus figuratively after she was hit by one literally? Or the one with the private jet and fake tits?
July 18, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Mntnmama,
Ironically in this case, ignorance is actually a lack of ignorance. Anyone who knows the answers to your questions is stupider for it.
July 18, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Do you believe UFO’s are extraterrestrial?
July 18, 2008 at 9:39 pm
it is on-topic, i.e. pointless questions
July 18, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Jay: Do we have anything against “fake tits”? You really are conservative, aren’t you?
July 18, 2008 at 10:29 pm
The Hills = Beverly
Heidi = Heidi Fleiss
Heidi Fleiss = Hollywood Madam
I’ll be the ignorant asshole here, I just can’t stand it.
July 18, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Off topic, off topic. All of you: Jack Ketch is totally going to be on your asses.
In the meantime, I think I’m going to boozily revisit the Cornelius backlog while the missus sleeps.

July 19, 2008 at 1:33 pm
HK, Raging Red is absolutely right. You should only write for me. If you did, it would be a lot more entertaining. For me anyway. And if you do decide to write just for me, all I can say is, “Dude!”
As for the things Obama’s wife has gotten passes on, I welcome all of you to do your own fucking legwork. Work as diligently as you do to uncover things of personal interest, and you might find out something. After all, there is still a part of WVU that has cancer (hmmm, a double meaning?), and you guys have missed the mark lately.
Not that it matters. I mean, McCain’s wife was a pill-popper, and a lying seazy bitch about it. (Surprising, since addicts are alway such upstanding people. Must be because she’s rich. We know that really sets HK off.)
But I’m still voting for McCain. Probably. He’s closer to me conservative philosophy than any candidate in a long while. And as Magrath will likely prove, we old, rich people can still be very effective leaders.
And now, Obama’s wife was….ahh, I almost spilled it. My frozen concoction maker has been working overtime on this hot day…..I don’t expect it to change your ideology anyway. You will vote for Obama anyway. Probably. Except for all you racists. You will end up delivering our electoral votes to McCain. And thanks!
Meanwhile, I gotta call up my other conservative buddies. We are going to firebomb a soup kitchen, and one of us has an opportunity to foreclose on a free clinic. After all it’s what we do, right? Shall we swing by and pick any of you up? One of us is a p’lice occifer, so it’s OK.
July 19, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Hey if you’re gonna foreclose on a free clinic, try Milan Puskar Free Clinic? It’s a shame to take a broadly supported and wonderful free clinic and plaster a donor’s name on it. A very bad thing unless you are doing a zillion dollar endowment, which I would bet, he did not do. He may just not be good at figuring out how to make a lasting impact with his money, but he could get help.
July 19, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Dear Turnip Truck Driver:
I do not doubt that one of the dozens of positions McCain has taken on the issues over the year is closest to your conservative philosophy.
July 19, 2008 at 10:56 pm
A simple evaluation of the facts:
If the media is so liberal why are they not all over old Green Party and now independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader or WV Mountain Party Candidate for Governor Jesse Johnson, oogling them with cudos and how about basic coverage?
A? Corporate media isn’t liberal.
These two represent a certain form of the great hope of the American dream. A great roadside popsicle stand and to others a circus. Every person in America has the right to succede. THE HISTORICAL MYTH. Reality you have the right to try, corporate bottom line decides. Corporations 1, democracy 0 - zero.
A? Corporate media isn’t liberal.
Why do you think Manchin Gate is all about Garrison and not about the seeping influence of money into the pockets of certain government officials to obstruct the laws and loot the treasury of the people, because of the influence of the people who appoint them to those boards?
A? Corporate media isn’t liberal.
Why is Public Broadcasting silent on these 3rd party candidates and their issues, when these are supposed to be the public airwaves?
Joe took control of the Public Broadcasting Authority while everyone was all sleepy eyed about how wonderful this Democrat would be and appointed his republican corporate media pal to kill all news in WV.
Why we are all shocked when WVU is awarded No. 1 Party School? Because drunken stupid American rednecks are not much smarter than titties and beer, which that party tent in Governor Manchins yard represents. Why don’t we have an investigation into the booze tent in the Governors yard?
A? Corporate media isn’t liberal.
Fela Kuti’s “them regular trade mark” or “International Thief Thief” are very applicable to West Virginia. A state with more than drunked stupid turnup truck drivers - yes, but not in control of our government obviously.
Liberal media my ass, remember it was Joe who helped the republicans swift boat Charlott Pritt allowing a Republican Governor Weasle to set the stage for the Big Manch to privatize what was left of our workers compensation program. Giving it oddly enough to th every people who previously ran itintgo the ground and now “miraculously” made 170 Million Dollar in profit, just last year….
Anyone and especially Women who vote for Manchin are at least as dumb as Republicans. Under Manchin the Equal Pay Commission is so neutered it didn’t even meet in 2007, yet women are still payed 75 cents on the dollar compared to men.
Liberal media??? You have been drinking too much of the water laced with that drug abuse our neurotic media tells us is so good for us. No wait, you got your MBA from WVU? Or kick backs (ad revenue) from big pharma?
A? Corporate media isn’t liberal.
Wake up WV. Smell the coffee. Grow a spine. Vote Mountain Party for Justice and a new Governor in 2009.
Media will say Johnson can’t win. No money.
A? Corporate media isn’t liberal.
Mountain Party Johnson is on the ballot, Republican Weeks is on the ballot and Democrat Manchin is on the ballot.
Who wins is decided by the voters. It is that simple.
A? Corporate media isn’t liberal.
Voters, grow a spine.
July 20, 2008 at 10:30 am
You know, just a few short months ago I would have bought the whole “corporate media isn’t liberal” doublespeak but the coverage of the obama campaign has opened my eyes to the bias of the media. I won’t use “liberal” or “conservative”, just the word bias. It is perhaps corporate bias, however. Wealthy corporate interests like those of oprah and soros have conspired to fund a candidate with no experience and indeed no specific platforms that I can see in this obama character. Turnip is right about his wife. Look up her Princeton thesis and you’ll see where the caricature in the New Yorker comes from. Beyond that, HK and anyone else who is “listening”, how can you vote for or support someone who voted for the recent FISA bill granting immunity to the telecom industry for violating Constitutional (and other) law? obama is a joke. If you don’t want to vote for McCain, Nader is your only real choice if you support freedom and the principles on which America was founded. obama only looks after himself and the rich, quasi- and true corporate interests that fund him. Yeah yeah yeah he gets lots of individual contributions. But he also gets 10s of millions from lobbyists and other corporate interests. Check out opensecrets.org if you don’t believe that. I suppose he has already annointed himself king if one believes cnn and his own press releases (e.g. the seal on his podium), but my heart still believes the American people, like those of WV, will see through the lies and do the best thing for our country.
July 20, 2008 at 5:21 pm
FISA was a major disappointment, but no candidate is going to be perfect.
If you think otherwise, then you don’t know much about politics. Which would seem to be the case, since the only candidate you third party people have managed to help get elected in the past decade was George W. Bush.
Thanks for that.
July 21, 2008 at 12:43 pm
the picture on the front of this blog reminds me of the old story……….”hey did you hear about the 2 blonds who walked into the building downtown today?………….well you would have thought ONE of them would have seen it”………..rrrrr………
