We have a theme of sorts for "this day in history" - the "world's oldest profession"! On this date last year, Client 9 (aka New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer) apologized after allegations surfaced that he had paid thousands of dollars for a high-end call girl, a scandal which eventually led to his resignation. I wonder how all parties involved celebrated today? ;D
And, actress Sharon Stone is 51 today! So, here's a clip of her fine work. Sorry...the embed has been "disabled by request," so you'll have to click on the link.

This is a "family" diary! Did y'all think I was going to show Basic Instinct or something?! ;D
Let's Countdown.
Thanks to David Shuster for pinch – hitting for Keith Olbermann tonight! Maybe Keith DID take up the Yankees on that 3rd baseman offer! ;D
#5 "Multi – Tasking" AKA "How to Walk and Chew Gum" AKA "Juggling Act" AKA "Prescription for Change" - Ya’ know, GOP, most people "multi – task" every day. Just because the previous occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania was a spoiled ignorant toddler doesn’t mean everyone is! I’d wager most of "the establishment" who don’t think President Obama is focusing enough on 1 issue don’t know a heck of a lot about the real world & the real challenges "normal" "non – establishment" people face every day. The stock market went up 6 points today! Are the GOPers blaming President Obama for the recession now going to give him credit for this? Huh?! Nope, I didn’t think so. Senator McCentury is trashing the President on the Senate floor – again. Is he that afraid of being primaried in Arizona? And, wouldn’t it be f*ckin’ hilarious if he was?! There’s Dr. Dean! Can anyone ‘splain to me like I’m a 4 – year – old why he’s been frozen out of the administration when he had SO MUCH to do with helping President Obama get elected? GGGGggggRRRrrrrr... Oh yes, the word "socialism" will appear ad nauseum in the health care reform debate, but that’s OK. We’re used to that vernacular by now between Joe T. Plumber & Grandma Gov. TurkeyLover in the campaign. YES! I agree with Howard Dean; MAKE THOSE WHINEY *ITCH GOP SENATORS FILABUSTER HEALTHCARE! Michael Steele isn’t interviewing anymore? Damn! No more SNL material?!
#4 "Circular Firing Squad" AKA "GOP – Eat – GOP World" AKA "Party Thrashers" - After Boss Limbaugh said he was tired of talking about Newt Gingrich, he kept talking about Newt Gingrich. He must’ve been distracted by impure thoughts about Grandma Gov. TurkeyLover. Michael Steele isn’t showing GOPers enough money. Uh – oh...you jip someone out of their coin they will be PI$$ED! As long as Boss Limbaugh continues to be "boss," no GOPer with the jelly spine & sans bearings will be talking to a "moderate" anyone or anything.
** Oh, did an American Idol clip REALLY have to be included? Although, it is funny that one of the numbers is a sex line! How ‘bout that volcano in Japan? Those crazy Japanese are at it again. ;D The station in New Zealand needs a new editor or something. Jay Leno is performing a free show for out – of – work Michiganers. How cool is that? I just wish he was funny. Please, I don’t want to hear about chimps or monkeys in the news for awhile, OK? I don’t care if it’s a funny story or not – no more monkeys. **
#3 "Gunmen Kills at Least 6 People..." - Good grief...first the church in St. Mary, IL...now this horrible news. Thoughts of strength & compassion to everyone affected in both tragedies... This guy in Alabama got ahold of an assault rifle?! Thank you, NRA! Mother f*ckers...
StillBUSHED! "Children Left Behind – Gate" Disadvantaged kids were being "left behind" at the same time the rich were getting richer. BTW, like I commented last night, NCLB should be left behind! "Cronyism – Gate" A former NASA official was indicted for steering coin to a university associated with his consulting business. "The American Way – Gate" The GWB Administration is officially under UN investigation for sending people to foreign lands for the express purpose of being tortured.
#2 "Cramer V. (Stewart’s) Cramer" - OK, preparing myself for flaming here, but I am disappointed that Keith has not covered this story. He did not fail to show Daily Show highlights when they took shots at GWB, Grandma Gov. TurkeyLover, etc. Cramer & CNBC peeps have said some truly WTF things & should be called out on those WTF things like everyone else. Kudos to David Shuster and/or whoever was responsible for this segment tonight! Oh Mr. Cramer, keep needling John Stewart – PLEASE! Mr. Cramer is a scheduled guest later on in the week?! Well, that other f*ck face who had a fit on the stock exchange was supposed to show up, too, & cancelled. Cramer will probably do likewise.
#1 "Hollywood on the Hill" AKA "Celeb Invasion" - Oh my, Countdown showed George Clooney. I know some F.O.O. that are going to have to be hosed down! ;D And, Brad Pitt, too. Richard Gere was in DC for Tibet, too! Paul Simon’s going to be in DC tomorrow. Will he bring Garfunkel with him, or will he continue his solo work? Rob Lowe was there, too? Did anyone play THE TAPE while he was there?
And, since we were sans Keith & Richard Wolffe tonight, here's a clip to tide us over. As far as I'm concerned, this segment was Richard Wolffe's finest hour.
