Just last week at the Cannes Film Festival, actor Peter Fonda called President Obama a “fucking traitor” and now, according to the Telegraph, we discover he’s encouraging his own grandchildren to take up arms against the president due to some upcoming conflict between the haves and have nots.

Does Peter Fonda consider himself a “have” … and what about his inherited-wealth grandchildren?

Secret Service to the white courtesy phone…

Now, there’s something very troubling about the couple who snuck into that White House dinner – and it’s not just their “Easy-Bake oven” hair, or their beady, heat-seeking eyeballs.

No – it’s something else… and that something else makes me want to freeze Tareq and Michaele Salahi solid, board them up in a box and drop them into an Arctic sea, “Blob” style.

Part of it, I guess, is that they’re social climbing chuckleheads – the desperate kind whose quest for notoriety trumps productive living. In their heads, getting close enough to lick a Joe Biden hair plug is worth whatever sacrifice – especially if the sacrifice isn’t theirs.

And, as it turns out, it wasn’t.

Today, the head of the Secret Service has announced that because of the security breach at last week’s dinner, three agents are now on administrative leave. And that’s the price for your fame, Tareq and Michaele: three tarnished careers. Congrats. (more…)

The L.A. Times tells us the plot is thickening:

One source close to the investigation said the couple produced the e-mails at the security checkpoint last Tuesday to show that they had been invited to the event. The Secret Service, which has interviewed the Salahis as part of its own investigation, has obtained copies of the e-mails.

On Monday night, the White House released a statement in which Jones said she did nothing to help the couple get into the dinner.

“I did not state at any time, or imply that I had tickets for ANY portion of the evening’s events,” according to the statement from Jones, whose title is special assistant to the Secretary of Defense and White House liaison. “I specifically stated that they did not have tickets and in fact that I did not have the authority to authorize attendance, admittance or access to any part of the evening’s activities. Even though I informed them of this, they still decided to come.” (more…)

Dennis Miller in today’s Washington Examiner:

“Who’d have thought that the heretofore ubermeek Obama administration would attempt the first surge of its tremulous tenure against my Fox News Network? As every demented B-lister in a leopard skin fez and a doorman’s outfit from the Plaza Hotel steps up to the psychotic speaker’s corner to tear the Great Satan (uh, that would be us) a new one, our guy has been loathe to return rhetorical fire for fear of stepping on any sandaled toes.

“But Fox News? That’s another story. That’s a sitter at the net for the quasimystical LOTUS POTUS. With the mainstream (downstream?) media more in his pocket than a grizzled train conductor’s pocket watch, he had to look far and wide for a news organization that had not signed a 5 W’s abrogation/suicide pact with David Axelrod. And there stood Fox, still skeptical of public officials and under the stellar rein of Brit Hume, still skilled in the ways of good old-fashioned “Woodstein” shoe leather journalism. (more…)

Hollywood loves a sequel, and so does Big Hollywood.  My post about Frank Rich and his penchant for repeating left-wing urban legends as fact garnered many comments from both sides of the issue asking for the post to be longer or to add more examples.  I admit that calling Rich a “Big Fat Liar” with only one example may have been a bit thin.  So here is another quick example, and I’ll keep bringing them if Theatre-boy Frank keeps writing them.

Big Lie:  “Weimar-like rage at McCain-Palin rallies”

In his October 11th column, Theatre-boy Frank cites, “At McCain-Palin rallies, the raucous and insistent cries of “Treason!” and “Terrorist!” and “Kill him!” and “Off with his head!” as well as the uninhibited slinging of racial epithets…”.  I’ve included all of his links so you can hunt them down yourself.  I find it interesting that his three sources are Dana Milbank of the Washington Post, MSNBC and The Huffington Post.  What happened to the paper of record as a source for news?  Are you really citing another opinion columnist, a left-wing blog and MSNBC as your news sources?
