CNN.com's Political Ticker has broken an enourmous story that is not being covered by the MSM. Unless of course you count CNN.com.

Apparently, there are only two actors who support Republican Presidential candidates!

How is this possible? Simple. Hollywood is a dirty hippy, liberal, vegan, homosexual commune out of touch with the rest of America.

Or maybe CNN didn't finish their research.

Take a look at the lists. There are 53 individual donors on their lists for 7 Democratic candidates: Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Gravel, Kucinich, Obama, and Richardson.

There are only two donors for Giuliani who is the only Republican listed. They are Melissa Gilbert who played little Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie and Tony Sirico, who was Paulie Walnuts on The Sopranos.

What is a loyal reader to think? That no other Republican has celebrity donors? Maybe all the Republican celebrities are holding out for Fred Thompson.

Everybody loves Jon Stewart. He can be silly and farcical one moment and biting and sarcastic the next. He is the conscience and comedian of our generation.

He is also for sale!

Okay. He's not really for sale. But VIP tickets to The Daily Show are! If you haven't checked out the YearlyKos auction, now is the time.

In addition to the Daily Show tickets there are Live Earth Tickets, Keith Olbermann DNA (and his autograph), and a finch on a stick.

So get your lazy ass over to Ebay and bid. The auction ends Monday night so there is no time to waste.

Now on to the main event: A YouTube retrospective of Jon Stewart.

New and Insidious Terrorist Threat gets Bush's Attention
(The Washington Post) June 28, 2007

Responding to an AP report that over 77 million Americans have been hiding their Middle Eastern heritage, Presdent Bush released a statement reaffirming his dedication to fighting terrorism wherever it may be.

"Today's discovery is very troubling. It suggests that illegal immigration is not the only way terrorists are finding their way into our country. The department of Homeland Security is investigating the matter and we will find which of these Americans are terrorists and any who harbor or support them will be found and punished to the fullest extent of the law."

When questioned about the matter at a press conference late Thursday, Bush had more to say on the subject.

"Am I troubled by this discovery? You bet I am. That's not to say that every one of these Americans are terrorists, but I think it is reasonable to ask why they have been hiding their personal history and where their loyalties lie."

The Star Ledger in New Jersey is reporting that Newark School Superintendent Marion Bolden ordered all of the yearbooks for East Side High School censored to hide a picture showing a senior kissing his boyfriend.

Graduating senior, Andre Jackson paid $150 to purchase a full page in the yearbook. One of the pictures on this page showed him kissing his boyfriend, David Escobales. Other pictures on the page showed him and his family and friends.

When the picture was originally brought to the School Superintendent's attention, the original idea was to tear out the whole offending page. Instead, they took a black marker to each and every yearbook and blacked out the image.

Superintendent Marion Bolden called the picture "illicit."

"It looked provocative," she said. "If it was either heterosexual or gay, it should have been blacked out. It's how they posed for the picture."

The only problem with her reasoning : Other pictures showing heterosexual couples kissing were allowed to remain uncensored.

More details below...

Government health policy!

That's right, former Senate Majority leader, Princeton alumnus and kitty-killer, Bill Frist will be teaching a graduate level class at Princeton next year.

You might remember Frist from such fiascos as:

Diagnosing Terri Schiavo via video

Experimenting on stray cats during med school

and

HIV is spread through tears and sweat.

Clearly, this is just the type of person we need teaching students at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

I'm sick and tired of all these closeminded diarists suggesting that just because Ron Paul has made a few borderline racist comments that he is somehow not worthy of support or devotion from Democrats and kossacks.

The people have no idea what Ron Paul is really capable of. He is the greatest politician in Washington today. He puts Republicans and Democrats to shame. He is a man of the people.

He mows the lawn and does the laundry.

He rebuilds vintage Chevys on the weekend and knits sweaters for veterans at night.

Don Herbert, Mr. Wizard to all us kids who he taught to shrink styrofoam or slice a banana while still in its peel died yesterday at the age of 89.

He got millions of kids interested in science and got millions of parents frustrated from cleaning up failed kitchen experiments.

His show was an example of the good television can do for children, exposing them to new scientific concepts while still being fun and entertaining.

Warning: This diary includes language of a frank and explicit nature. It is not prurient but includes slang terms for various sexual acts.

Now that I've got your attention, I'd like to talk about porn. The Bush Administration has made it a priority of the Justice Department to shut down pornographers. Indeed, one of the fired US Attorneys got in trouble for not making obscenity cases one of his priorities.

This is hardly the most shocking development to come out of this presidency. As social conservatives, I'd be shocked if they had anything good to say about pornography. Paying people to have sex, filming it and then selling the tapes to other people who will derive sexual pleasure from witnessing the acts is not all that popular with Focus on the Family.

Nor is this the most dangerous policy to come out of the White House. Cough Iraq cough.

But it is a disturbing trend. Here's why:

So I took Kagro X's advice and looked at the letters in support of Scooter Libby.

I know that in the wake of the release of these highly entertaing testimonials, many will be focussing on the really big names: Mary Matalin and James Carville, Heny Kissinger, Douglas Feith, etc.

But one of my personal favorites also turned up. Victoria Toensing wrote a letter of support for Scooter Libby prior to his sentencing.

What was really funny was the anecdote that she and her partner, Joseph diGenova decided to share:

On a particularly rough trial dar, Victoria approached Scooter at a break and invited him and Harriet to come over for dinner as a social break from the pressure. One could tell by looking at Scooter's expression that he would have loved to do so. Yet, he immediately replied, "No, Harriet and I need to be with the kids. It's important we spend time with them now."

OMG!!! Vicky's got a crush on Scooter! Vicky and Scooter sitting in a tree. L-Y-I-N-G.

In one of the funniest blog post exchanges I've ever seen, Time's Swampland had a diabolical threeway today.

It all started with the newest Swampland contributor, Dick Armey. That's Dick "Barney Fag" Armey. In all fairness that was considered a slip of the tongue.

Anyway, in his inagural post Dick Asshole (oops) analyzes the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. In it he comes up with this gem.

On the Democratic side, we see an abundance demagoguery and proposals for the largest expansion of government since the 1930’s and 1970’s, with socialized health care and severe regulation of the economy, especially the energy sector. Great for sound bites, but a complete disregard for fundamental economic principles.

Keep reading for the drama and the lies.

Seriously.

No I'm not kidding.

In a tiny little blog post on CNN.com, CNN Associate Producer Natalie Apsell reports that according to James Carville, Edwards is the one to watch in tonight's debate.

But the kicker is what she writes next:

Although several candidates poked fun at his ultra expensive hair cut, the DailyKos website named Edwards the winner of the last debate in South Carolina.

The New Jersey GOP honored George W. Bush today. For $300 you could submit to a background check, wait for two hours and witness a political farce all to catch a glimpse of our president. For $5000 you could have your picture taken with him. For $10,000 you could have a shower after he put his arm around you.

He was there to help the party raise money, and boy do they need it. New Jersey is a blue state. Very blue. And we're getting bluer. We're winning races in traditionally Republican counties.

For this we have President Bush, his administration and their disasterous policies to thank. People hate George Bush. Republicans, Democrats, businessmen, students, retirees, veterans. We all hate him.

So when New Jersey democrats heard that Bush was stepping outside his self-constructed bubble, we couldn't help ourselves.
