Why Do We Tune In? 'Cause It's Reality TV [Instantaneous' judgment reflects shows like 'Survivor']
Posted by admin / Under Drama Desk Award For Outstanding Costume Design(Newser) The Republican presidential debates are exerting a strong influence on this year's race, and even seem entertainingbut why? It's not just Rick Perry's penchant for the deadly 53-second pause or Michele Bachmann's ability to reinterpret US history, analysts tell the New York Times. It's our reality-TV culture of instant judgment: "Who gets kicked off the island, or who gets kicked off the talent stage, is now deeply embedded in the American culture," says campaign adviser Steve Schmidt. In bygone days, reporters hunted down campaign staff members to forge conclusions after a debate. Now, its instantaneous, Schmidt says. Its...
Palin's worst critics have no decency
Posted by admin / Under Drama Desk Award For Outstanding Costume DesignDesperate. That's what critics and detractors of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are getting, and she hasn't even announced she's running for president yet. Can you believe these people are playing, of all things, the Glen Rice card? Here's how this bit of non-news got started. Author Joe McGinniss wrote a book entitled "The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin." It's supposed to be an expose of the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate. In the book, McGinniss claims that Palin had an affair with one of her husband's business partners. According to various news reports,...
Palin-Bachmann Rancor Heats Up Below the Surface (Bachmann aides spread false rumors about Palin)
Posted by admin / Under Drama Desk Award For Outstanding Costume DesignDES MOINES, Iowa -- I like Sarah Palin a lot, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said at Thursdays nights Republican presidential debate. We are very good friends. Bachmanns charitable words were the latest in a long line of glowing public comments that the two potential Republican rivals have showered upon each other since 2008. But a personal relationship between the conservative female leaders has, in fact, been nonexistent for the past 16 months, as aides from Bachmanns camps have privately -- and sometimes publicly -- disparaged Palin to an extent that has caused growing exasperation in Palin world. That behind-the-scenes rancor...

Does Michele Bachmann 'Walk the Talk?'
Posted by admin / Under Drama Desk Award For Outstanding Costume DesignItÂs common these days to hear media talking heads refer to Michele Bachmann as the ÂTea Party favorite in the upcoming 2012 GOP primary race. Unlike Governor Palin who has always stated that the Tea Party doesnÂt need one specific leader, Bachmann has tried to cast herself into such a role. She created a ÂTea Party Caucus in congress and gave the ÂTea Party response following ObamaÂs State of the Union Address last January. The Tea Party is comprised mainly of independent-minded small government activists who are sick and tired of the way Washington is operating. These are people who...
The View - Bristol Palin (7-07-11)
Posted by admin / Under Drama Desk Award For Outstanding Costume DesignWHY THIS MATTERS POLITICALLY. There are two games Governor Palin is fighting: one is the battle to take control of her political narrative, the other is taking control of her PERSONAL narrative--and this includes everything surrounding her FAMILY. Having Bristol go on The View is BRILLIANT, and does more for raising Governor Palin's political profile and stature than one may think! With Bristol giving the whole scoop about the details surrounding her pregnancy, she takes the narrative of the "dirty details" and "dirty secrets" away from the mouths of Levi Johnston and rumor-makers in the press, who would try to...

Posted by admin / Under Drama Desk Award For Outstanding Costume DesignObviously weve seen our share of media lies, but the latest fabrications circulated take a big slice of the cake.

The beautiful town of Pella, Iowa, was flooded with an army of media covering the premiere of this film. Youd think someone would have caught those tears and rages on tape, right? Well, heres a video of the remarks I made at the Pella Opera House right after viewing the film. The emotion clearly...
Palin NOT Reaching Out to Key Iowans Ahead of Visit
Posted by admin / Under Drama Desk Award For Outstanding Costume DesignSarah Palin appears to be designing her impending visit to Iowa to be as low-key as possible. The former Alaska governor is slated to arrive in the small Iowa town of Pella on Tuesday to attend the premiere of "The Undefeated" -- a flattering documentary that highlights her accomplishments in office and bangs the drum for a potential insurgent campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Though she is never lacking for attention, Palin's trip figures to be scrutinized especially closely, since it will mark her first appearance this year in the nation's first voting state. Politico reported on Monday that...

Posted by admin / Under Drama Desk Award For Outstanding Costume DesignUnited States President Barack Obama's positions should be adopted by Israel, Opposition head Tzipi Livni said Sunday, in response to Obama's AIPAC speech.
