David Byrne’s nearly year-old lawsuit against Charlie Crist for using the Talking Heads song “Road to Nowhere” in a campaign ad without permission has reached a settlement, according to the Orlando Sentinel. They have a reaction from Byrne up now, and what you really need to know is that he said he’s feeling “very manly.” Just the best. But what’s better is that apparently Byrne shamed Crist so hard… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : prefixmag Discovery Date : 12/04/2011 17:45 Number of articles : 2

Politicians do a lot of hugging and kissing while campaigning to gain votes, and also in office to show camaraderie with visiting leaders. But for some reason, photos are always snapped right before a hug or friendly kiss that often make it look like something much more salacious is going on. Similar to the homoertoic sports photos we uncovered earlier this year, we found some of the most homoerotic photos of politicians ever taken. See Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President Obama and Charlie Crist, and George W. Bush and John McCain all appear to be totally in love. Check out all the unlikely couples below, and vote for the most suggestive! added by: TimALoftis

In today’s Washington Post, Dan Balz argues that the “Florida Senate race starts without a clear favorite.” While that may be true in some sense, recent polling data has some favorable signs for conservative Republican candidate Marco Rubio. Yet nowhere in his 20-paragraph story did Balz delve into those poll numbers. Instead, Balz presented the Florida race as complete wild card that is unpredictable due to the three-way nature of the contest: Gov. Charlie Crist is the man in the middle in Florida’s high-stakes race for the Senate, a candidate without a party whose hopes of moving from Tallahassee to Washington depend on his ability to fend off a squeeze play from his Democratic and Republican rivals. The three-way campaign for the Senate is the latest in a series of important races in Florida – including the 2000 recount that helped define red-blue divisions in America – but with dynamics new to the Sunshine State. But a look at recent polling data available on RealClearPolitics.com seems to indicate Rubio went to bed on primary election night in good shape for the general election fight ahead. The last poll taken before Tuesday’s primary was conducted of likely voters by the liberal Democrat-friendly polling firm Public Policy Polling (PPP). That poll had Rubio up eight points over Crist, 40 to 32, with Meek garnering a humble 17 percent. Rubio had a 5-point edge over Crist in a poll by Mason-Dixon in mid-August with Meek at a paltry 18 percent. Other polls from August show a Crist lead, but those are of registered, not likely voters, and in a midterm election it’s the motivated, fired-up voters that are most likely to show up. While it’s true that the two-and-a-half months until Election Day are an eternity in politics, it seems that right now Rubio is doing pretty well. It could change for the better or for the worse, but it should have been noted by Balz.

Odd bit of role reversal on today’s Morning Joe . . . There was Mika Brzezinski, ripping Charlie Crist as unprincipled for his mid-campaign ditching of the Republican party. Joe Scarborough, the quondam GOP congressman from the Sunshine State, was in a much more forgiving mood, going so far as to predict that, following in Crist’s footsteps, many others would successfully go the independent route. Mika and Joe’s exchange was triggered by the news that Crist’s own Lieutenant Governor, Jeff Kottkamp, has endorsed Marco Rubio for Senate. MIKA BRZEZINSKI: The party switch, I’m telling you, it has consequences. People may still fall for it, but — JOE SCARBOROUGH: Why are you so cynical? Just because Charlie Crist loves America, doesn’t mean you have to kick sand in his face. BRZEZINSKI: Charlie Crist is one of several politicians that we’ve seen in our careers who didn’t win in his party, and who thought: I still want to win, so now I’m going to switch parties even though I have no convictions, I’m just going to switch, I’m just going to change this coat. SCARBOROUGH: The Republican party left Charlie Crist: that’s what he’d tell you. BRZEZINSKI: Really? Why did he run with the Republican party half-way through the election process? SCARBOROUGH: They changed, right after the election. BRZEZINSKI: It was a dipsy-doodle. SCARBOROUGH: You know what? I will guarantee you, more and more people are going to go independent, and they’re going to win elections, because of it. In much of his commentary, Scarborough was surely being facetious. But the bottom line was that while Mika was condemning Crist for his unprincipled flip, Joe saw Charlie’s cynical move as a model for others.

Mika Rips Crist For Switch, Scarborough Sees Him As Role Model
On Wednesday’s Newsroom, CNN’s Tony Harris omitted the pro-illegal immigration activism of guest Isabel Garcia, just as his colleague Suzanne Malveaux did more than two months earlier . Harris twice referred to Garcia as merely the “deputy public defender in Pima County, Arizona,” and didn’t mention her involvement in the beating and decapitation of a pinata effigy of Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The anchor brought on the activist, as well as Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce, the author of the state newly-passed anti-illegal immigration law, for two segments starting 10 minutes into the 11 am Eastern hour. After asking Senator Pearce’s position on the federal government’s new lawsuit against the enforcement of his law, Harris turned to the public defender: “Isabel, you’ve been patient. Weigh in here.” Garcia (her pro-illegal immigration organization, Coalición de Derechos Humanos, whose website features a logo incorporating the southwestern states into Mexico, was identified on-screen as the “Human Rights Coalition”) immediately went on the offense against Pearce, playing the race/ethnicity card against the Republican politician: GARCIA: This is not about protecting anybody from Arizona. (Pearce laughs) In fact, if Mr. Pearce were responsible, he would, in fact, want to protect us and protect our values in this country. Clearly, this is a supremacy issue. I mean, it’s preposterous that he argued that the federal government doesn’t have the exclusive jurisdiction on this very complicated area of law. Certainly, Arizona cannot simply regulate immigration- and he is trying to regulate immigration. As much as he tries to hide it over and over, he knows full well that they have created a new offense of not having your documents with you. And the issue of racial profiling, that he can just wipe it away so easy- well, it’s because you’re a white person, Mr. Pearce . PEARCE: Oh, what an idiot. GARCIA: You don’t have any qualms about racial profiling at all . You should be concerned about our liberties in this country. You should be concerned about the facts. The facts are that immigrants are an absolute plus to our economy- always have been. That’s why we have 11 million undocumented people here, not because we’re giving give-outs, like you’re saying. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Immigrants contribute much more than they ever take out in health care, in educational costs, in anything. You look at any credible study, Mr. Pearce- which you should, because you’re an elected official- you should have a real body of evidence before you start talking and endanger our entire community and endanger our country. The state senator didn’t get a chance to reply to Garcia’s racially-charged accusation because the anchor then broke for commercials. After the break, Harris asked Pearce, “You acknowledge that it, at some point, becomes a federal issue, and we’re here because the government hasn’t done enough in this area. And I’m curious, are you as angry at Congress- all of Congress- for not enacting new immigration legislation- and that is Republicans, Democrats and independents?” Once Pearce answered, Harris asked Garcia a similar question, but one from the left: “We’ve got a list of 11 Republican senators who voted for immigration reform in 2006 who aren’t doing much in the way of leadership on this issue at all right now….But Democratic leadership on this issue isn’t moving it forward as well. Do you have any anger right now for Speaker Pelosi, Senate Leader Reid? This was supposed to be the year for comprehensive immigration reform .” Near the end of her reply, the pro-illegal immigration activist proffered a conspiracy theory on the issue: GARCIA: Well, really, the responsibility lays not only in all the people you have mentioned, but in previous administrations, from Clinton, to the Bush administration, to the present Obama administration- is their inability to articulate the truth to the American public that we have caused the situation . Mr. Pearce talks about people not following the laws. Let me tell you, Mexicans, specifically, and other immigrants, have followed the rules. You know what the rules have been for 100 years? Come into the country in an unauthorized fashion so you can build our country. Do you really think we’ve got 11 million people that are benefitting so profusely from give-outs? Absolutely not. We depend on these 11 million people to feed us, to clothe us, to house us, and Mr. Pearce should be thanking them rather than demonizing them, because Arizona was selected by the federal government. It was no accident. This is not occurring because the federal government has not acted. It’s the opposite . HARRIS: Okay. Got you. GARCIA: It’s because they funneled everybody through Arizona to elect the likes of Mr. Pearce – HARRIS: Oh my. GARCIA: In order to become a laboratory for everything that’s anti-immigrant . One might be inclined to add Garcia’s out-there theory to the likes of 9/11 “trutherism” and “birtherism,” and all Harris had to say in response was “oh my”? Neither Harris, nor Malveaux during the April 23, 2010 interview, brought up the activist’s participation in a 2008 protest where the pinata effigy of Sheriff Arpaio was beaten and decapitated and where she carried the figure’s head down the street. Only CNN anchor Anderson Cooper fairly questioned the “public defender” on the incident during an October 2009 segment where she appeared with Arpaio .

Are you happy with the job that the Obama administration and the Democrats are doing? If so, then vote for Charlie Crist for the U.S. Senate because Chris Matthews happily proclaimed that Crist is going to be the new star in the Democrat caucus. However, if you are dissatisfied with the direction this nation is going and want to change it, then Marco Rubio will be your choice which is why your humble correspondent won’t be a bit surprised to see this video of Matthews making his proclamation about Crist on Morning Joe end up as a Rubio campaign commercial. Here is a transcript of Matthews delivering his kiss of death product endorsement of Charlie Crist: Charlie Crist is going to be the new star of the Democratic caucus in the Senate. He’s going to be a major player in the Democratic Party down the road. He’ll be a moderate Democrat somewhere in the middle. I think he’s very shrewd and nimble. This sudden Matthews infatuation with Charlie Crist stands in sharp contrast with his attitude back in May when he was sharply critical of the Florida governor’s performance on Meet The Press where he played coy by avoiding a direct answer about which party he would caucus with and for whom he would vote for Majority Leader of the Senate as you can see in the video below: Here is a transcript of Matthews’ disgust with Crist at that time: …I used to sort of like Charlie Crist but he’s off-base on that. You have to join a party caucus before you can vote for leader. He can’t decide which leader he’s going to vote for because he’s not even voting. He must join a caucus then you get to vote for which person leads that caucus. That’s how it’s done. He doesn’t seem to know that or he rejects knowing it. What do you think? Is he just ignorant or is he playing a game here? So what changed in the past couple of months to cause Matthews to move from disgust with Charlie Crist to developing a “strange new respect” for the Florida governor? Most likely it was the realization by Matthews and fellow liberals that the likely Democrat nominees, Kendrick Meek or billionaire Jeff Greene, have little or no chance of winning the general election in November. Therefore the best chance of promoting the liberal agenda in the Senate would be to back Charlie Crist running as an independent who was too liberal to win the Republican nomination. And Marco Rubio should thank Matthews for that wonderful future campaign commercial clip reminding Florida voters (many of whom still mistakenly think of Crist as a Republican) that Charlie is a Democrat.

Last year, Time offered its “Ten Questions” feature to Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal , but the reader questions it selected were mostly hostile, panning his response to the State of the Union, asking if he looked like the geeky Kenneth the Page from “30 Rock,” and underlining the shakiness of the GOP: “Voters rejected the GOP in November. What changes do you think it needs to make in order to become relevant again?” This week, Time offered the same feature to Florida Gov. Charlie Crist , and the questions were not hostile, except for “Why don’t you support same-sex marriage?” and maybe “Do you still consider your support for the stimulus to have been the right choice?” There were neutral oil-spill questions, and then there were these: “How difficult was it to leave the Republican Party?” — David Hutchinson, Kansas City, Kans. “What are the pros and cons of running as an independent?” — Kevin Waters, Harrisburg, Pa. “Will people still remember the Tea Party in 20 years?” — Justin Powlison, Raleigh, N.C. “Is our current political polarization temporary or permanent?” — Chad Dominicis, Miami “I am a liberal Republican. I s there room in the party for me?” — Jeffrey Hersh, Columbus, Ohio “Does the space program need to be saved?” The last time they offered these Questions to Republicans was to Karl Rove , and there again, Time found the questioner to ask “Is being the ‘party of no’ working for the Republicans?”
