Nothing says “pay attention to our cause” like sending out a bunch of topless girls to do your dirty work.
This video is pretty funny, in that we’ve never seen another man get so angry about seeing topless girls. Never! This security guard goes insane, starting to punch/push the topless girls. Can we conclude he’s sexually frustrated?
Well, it seems as if he’ll have some free time on his hands now that he’s been fired for his aggression. Maybe he can work on getting himself some action.
The Georgian Embassy in Ukraine said it has sacked a security guard, who attacked participants of a topless protest by Ukrainian female movement, Femen, and a photographer covering the event. The embassy said in a statement that it “deplores the incident.” “The Georgian Embassy wishes to apologize to all concerned – those who attended the gathering, journalists and the Ukrainian people – for this deplorable incident, and, in addition, wishes to state that the guard in question has been dismissed from his post,” the statement reads.
When three bare-breasted young women from Femen were protesting outside the Georgian embassy in Kiev over the arrest of photojournalists in Georgia, a man, who walked out from the embassy, slapped one of the demonstrators and kicked and punched a photographer covering the event.

Sometimes those who are so vehemently anti-gay are, well, the gayest of them all. Such is the case, possibly, with presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s husband. He has gone on record calling gay teenagers barbarians and trying to “pray the gay away.” Great guy, huh?
Well, there is now both video and audio “evidence” that Bachmann himself might have, how can we put this, gay tendencies.
Leave it to the brilliant minds of Jon Stewart and Jerry Seinfeld to get to the bottom of this.
In honor of Dr. Marcus Bachmann’s gay therapy clinic, Jon Stewart dedicated his opening segment today to suppressing his “natural” urges to ridicule Bachmann for being both a gay conversion advocate and a very, um, flamboyant character. He kept his mouth closed, tried to switch gears, and even brought in a comedic therapist– Jerry Seinfeld– to resist the temptation, but ultimately, Rep. Michele Bachmann’s husband was just too gay for Stewart to resist heckling.
The dancing, the voice, it’s all too damn funny. See for yourself, after the jump!
We don’t want to tell you who to vote for, but we’re pretty sure we’re comfortable telling you who to vote against.
Believe it or not, Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has signed some sort of pledge called “The Marriage Vow – A Declaration of Dependence upon Marriage and Family.” In it, Bachmann has vowed to declare dependence upon marriage and family. Duh.
The actual pledge that she signed isn’t terribly surprising for a social conservative like Bachmann; it contains many platitudes like “marriage is between man and a woman.” Oh, and there are parts to the pledge that calls homosexuality a “choice,” which is then likened to bigamy, adultery and polyandry.
Yes, sure, whatever. But also in this pledge is a vow to ban pornography! Click for more!
Whoops! Talk about a rough hack.
It appears that the Fox New Politics’ Twitter account has been hacked, and whoever has done it is posting some doozies, starting with the assassination of President Obama. Awk-ward! We open up the floor for commentary.
Here is the response from Fox News:
FoxNews.com’s Twitter feed for political news, FoxNewspolitics, was hacked early Monday morning.
Hackers sent out several malicious and false tweets claiming that President Obama had been assassinated. Those reports were incorrect, of course, and the president was spending the July 4 holiday with his family at the White House.
The tweets have been removed from the feed.
FoxNews.com alerted the U.S. Secret Service, which will investigate the hacking and do “appropriate follow up,” spokesman George Ogilvie said.
Jeff Misenti, vice president and general manager of Fox News Digital, said FoxNews.com was working with Twitter to address the situation as quickly as possible.
“We will be requesting a detailed investigation from Twitter about how this occurred, and measures to prevent future unauthorized access into FoxNews.com accounts,” Misenti said.
Makes sense to remove them. Oh well. If only there was a way to grab a photo of the tweets from your computer screen…. If only… JUMP!
And then this happened… TIME Magazine editor Mark Halperin appeared on the “Morning Joe” show on MSNBC this morning to talk about President Obama’s press conference from yesterday. Apparently, he didn’t appreciate the tone President Obama took.
When asked how he thought Obama behaved yesterday, Halperin responded, “I thought he was kind of a dick.” Yikes! That damn liberal media!
To be somewhat fair, Halperin thought the show was on a 7-second delay, to which they would have edited out his remarks. Alas, no. We got it all on tape!
Each man is entitled to his own opinion, but it’s somewhat strange to hear someone with a desire to be a respected news journalist call President Obama, or any president for that matter, a “dick.” Hey, it’s cable news baby!
In the end, we do give credit to Halperin for giving what seemed to be a legitimate apology. How do we know he meant it? Look at his face! We can’t tell whether or not he’s actually seen a ghost or if he’s gone pale wondering how he’ll explain to his wife that sh*t himself on TV.

Meet Betsy. She loves Sarah Palin. The rest of South Carolina, however, don’t share the same love for Ms. Palin as Betsy does. How do we know? Well, Betsy took to the streets of Charleston, South Carolina, to ask residents there how they felt about Sarah Palin. Does laughing count as a response?
Watch as one-by-one the fine folks of South Carolina answer the question, “Are you excited about Sarah Palin to be president?”

A story broke this morning linking a porn star named Sammie Spades to Hillary Clinton. No, it’s not what you think. Apparently, Ms. Spades used to be a former Hillary Clinton intern when she was the senator of New York.
The floor is open for Bill Clinton-intern jokes.
Here are the details, per TMZ:
Adult film star Sammie Spades tells TMZ she was going to community college in Buffalo, NY back in 2006 when she met then Senator Clinton at a banquet … and expressed interest in a summer internship.
Sammie says she was accepted as a 2006 summer intern at Clinton’s Buffalo office … where she did miscellaneous office work, but dreamed of sporting her own power pantsuits just like Hillary.
Sammie says, “I was planning on becoming an attorney and then going into public office” — however, a couple years later she ran into money problems, abandoned politics … and claims having sex on tape was the best way to pay the bills.
The star of “Big Butts Like It Big #8″ … and “White Bubble Butts #4″ says, “I don’t think Hillary would be too happy, but I have nothing but respect for Mrs. Clinton.”
For the record … Sammie says she never met Bill.
Zing! Well, we did our research on Ms. Spades and here’s what we found out…. to be honest, we can’t really post much of what we learned. But we can tell you that her measurements are: 36D-26-36. Do with that information what you will!
Check out some safe photos of Ms. Spades after the jump! Let us know what you guys think… And keep the Bill Clinton jokes to a minimum.
It seems like there’s a new political meme making the rounds by gay and lesbian activists against Republican presidential candidates. It’s called “glittering” and can simply be described as activists throwing glitter on the candidates, to which we assume is to “gay them up.”
It’s getting a little tired, as now three Republican presidential candidates, New Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty and now Michele Bachmann have all now been glittered. We assume, however, this trend is going to continue, though it might be time to step up the action. The shark could easily have been jumped once it went from a gay dude dropping pounds of glitter on Newt Gingrich to a female activist throwing six pieces of glitter on Bachmann. You’re going the wrong way, people!

Wow. I can’t believe what I just saw. Is this really a political ad? Does the GOP really stand by it?
Who was the ad wizard who came up with the idea for this ad, calling for “gangsters” to get that money, “bitch!” It’s quite puzzling. And don’t get us started on why two black “actors” would want to be a part of this ad. Did they not know how stupid they looked? They must have, right?
The Huffington Post has you covered, as for what the political ramifications are–that’s out of our jurisdiction. It seems as if the GOP doesn’t want to stand by the ad, which is the smart thing to do. It’s just such a puzzling ad, though. How does anyone take this organization, Turn Right USA, seriously?

We just wanted to be on record having posted the John Edwards mugshot. If you ask us, it’s pretty hilarious. We think someone needs to tell this dude that shits going down. He’s posing as if he’s getting ready to make a political flier or as if he’s making eyes at the woman taking the picture. He does know he’s in trouble, right?
Per CNN:
A grand jury has been investigating whether money given to support Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter, by benefactors of Edwards should have been considered campaign donations, a contention Edwards’ team has disputed.
A plea deal between the two-time presidential candidate and the U.S. Justice Department fell apart over the the Department’s requirement that Edwards serve jail time. Wanting to have “minimal” impact on his two younger children, the former senator refused to agree.
That sucks. There were many who believed that he was on the fast track to being the President of the United States. Now it seems like he might be on his way to being friends with Ja Rule.
Get comfy, Mr. Edwards. We have a feeling he’s going to be settling into his prison cell for some time.
