Ice-T Endorses Hillary Clinton For Homegirl-In-Chief

The real 2012 election is still months away (even considering the 24 or so Republican primary jibberjabbers-to-the-death), and already our greatest thinkers are turning their attention to 2016. While speaking about his directorial debut—the documentary "Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap"—at the Sundance Film Festival, Ice-T endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.

Well of course Ice-T would support her—Coco loves her! more ›

Second Hasidic Publication Edits Hillary Clinton Out Of Photo

Der Tzeitung, the ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jewish newspaper that photoshopped Secretary of State Hillary Clinton out of that historic bin Laden-killing Situation Room photo, has formally apologized to the White House and the State Department for disappearing Clinton. But another Hasidic publication is now in hot water for pulling the same stunt. Failed Messiah reports that De Voch, a glossy Brooklyn-based magazine that means "The Week" in Yiddish, airbrushed Clinton and Director for Counterterrorism Audrey Tomason from a color photo in the publication. more ›

Hasidic Paper Photoshops Temptress Hillary Clinton Out Of Situation Room

Hasidic Paper Photoshops Temptress Hillary Clinton Out Of Situation Room

An Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jewish newspaper called Der Tzitung could find itself in legal trouble for removing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from that iconic photo taken in the Situation Room during the Osama bin Laden mission. Clinton and Director for Counterterrorism Audrey Tomason were both airbrushed out of the photo because the newspaper's policy is not to publish any images of women in case they could be considered sexually suggestive. But when you think about it, it's amazing anybody in the State Department can get any work done with Clinton flouncing around the office distracting them with her feminine wiles. more ›

Bumping Biden: Obama-Cuomo In 2012?

Bumping Biden: Obama-Cuomo In 2012?

Well here's an interesting twist on the game of "movable Biden" that's been engaging the Beltway pretty much since Obama was inaugurated. Since last October when Bob Woodward mentioned it, the scuttlebutt had been that the Obama administration was mulling switching Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden around. But now former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown is arguing that maybe Biden will move into the Secretary of State role and Andrew Cuomo will step up to the Veep spot? more ›

CNN reports, "The crowd has swelled compared with Saturday and Sunday, and people gathered Monday in Tahrir Square, a focal point of the protests.

WikiLeaks, Under Attack, Gets the Taiwanese Treatment

WikiLeaks, Under Attack, Gets the Taiwanese Treatment

Unsurprisingly, the fallout from the latest WikiLeaks continues. U.S. officials are working damage control here and abroad, from Rep. Peter King pushing for the website to be declared a Foreign Terrorist Organization to Attorney General Eric Holder investigating the matter promising "to the extent that we can find anybody who was involved in the breaking of American law and who has put at risk the assets and the people I have described, they will be held responsible," and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton blasting, "This disclosure is not just an attack on America — it's an attack on the international community... There is nothing laudable about endangering innocent people, and there is nothing brave about sabotaging the peaceful relations between nations." And then there's Sarah Palin, saying that she wouldn't have let the leaks happen since her book was leaked and everything. more ›

Bob Woodward: Biden, Clinton Could Swap Places in 2012

In an interview with John King on CNN last night, Bob Woodward said the Obama administration is considering shaking things up for the 2012 election. Some of Hillary Clinton's advisers say a Vice Presidential run with Obama is "on the table," and that current VP Joe Biden would take over for her as Secretary of State. "President Obama needs some of the women, Latinos, retirees that she did so well with during the 2008 primaries," says Woodward. However, Clinton doesn't seem to be on the same page, at least not publicly. more ›

Hillary Clinton's Hair Time Out

Hillary Clinton's Hair Time Out

The Daily News seems a little concerned about a hairstyle that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sported over the weekend: Noting that she's "had more hair styles than a beauty-school dummy," the tabloid said, "The secretary of state's chic coif was nowhere to be seen as she arrived at the United Nations over the weekend with her hair clipped back" and then generously added, "It was a more severe look than usual, but showed off some earrings that matched her vibrant blue suit." Now, we don't want to get into a whole style argument, but the butterfly clip is maybe too distracting. more ›

Hillary Clinton's Presidential Ads Run In New Orleans

Hillary Clinton's Presidential Ads Run In New Orleans

Who's ready for the 2012 Presidential Campaigns to begin? Apparently Chicago dentist William DeJean is, and has paid $5,000 to fund the ads with the catchy slogan, "Where There's A Hill, There's A Way." DeJean said he made the ads because he doesn't believe the country "is headed in the right direction," and the ad says, "Let's make sure the president we should have elected in 2008 will be on the ballot in 2012." Clinton has repeatedly said she has no intention of running for President again, but that's not stopping DeJean; he told CNN he'll pay to have the ads run in Washington, NY, LA and possibly Houston. more ›

Vito Lopez Surrenders, Agrees to Endorse Gillibrand

Vito Lopez Surrenders, Agrees to Endorse Gillibrand

Junior Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has garnered the approval of Brooklyn party boss Vito Lopez, "killing any chance of her facing a primary," according to the Post. Unlike her former rival Harold Ford Jr., she hasn't been spotted lunching with the Brooklyn Democratic Party chairman, but he does offer some lukewarm praise of the Paterson appointee. "There were many people who could have run a credible challenge. But in the past year, she has gotten around and she has gotten better," said Lopez, adding that he wouldn't make his endorsement official for four or five weeks. Maybe she's snared him with her "mystical powers?" more ›
