Chuck Norris’s Pro-Gingrich Robocall Kicks Exactly No Ass

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

So sorry to have missed this: Noted Newt Gingrich supporter Chuck Norris last week attempted to shore up his candidate’s standing ahead of presidential primaries in Southern states including Mississippi and Alabama, contributing his own riff on the automated telecommunications scourge known as the robocall. As you likely know, Gingrich lost. Hell, we all lost. “As my wife Jean and I watched the GOP debate and went to the website,” Norris begins, “we were trying to decide which of the candidates would be best to do head-to-head combat with President Obama. Now, I didn’t say ‘hand-to-hand combat,’ even though I think they would win there too.” Ah, yes, the hoary old “My candidate can beat up your candidate” meme. Classy. And useless, apparently: Despite Norris’s endorsement and repeated promises that Gingrich would repeal Obama’s health-care law and get gas prices down to $2.50 per gallon, Republicans largely went for Gingrich foil Rick Santorum. Lesson? Don’t bring a Norris to a God-fight . [via Filmdrunk ] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Mitt Romney Wins Washington State GOP Caucus

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Mitt Romney won Washington state’s Republican caucuses this weekend, gaining a boost heading into Super Tuesday tomorrow, March 6, when 11 states hold contests. The choice isn’t binding. Romney won 37.6 percent of vote. He’s put together a bit of a win streak, also carrying Wyoming, Arizona and Michigan within the last week. Ron Paul edged Rick Santorum for second place with both receiving about 25 percent of the vote, with Newt Gingrich coming in fourth with 11 percent of the vote. Republican contests on March 6 include Ohio, a swing state that President Obama, a Democrat, won in 2008 and Republican President George W. Bush won in 2004. Polls there are very close, while Santorum has the edge in Oklahoma and Tennessee, and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich leads surveys in Georgia. Romney is expected to win Massachusetts, Vermont and likely Virginia. Paul will continue to be a factor everywhere, particularly in states with caucus formats. The 2012 Washington Republican Caucus results: Mitt Romney 19,111 (37.6%) Ron Paul 12,594 (24.8%) Rick Santorum 12,089 (23.8%) Newt Gingrich 5,221 (10.3%) Other 1,749 (3.4%)

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When raging homophobe and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum rolls into Cumming, Georgia, to a campaign stop, the puns are almost too easy. Still, this headline, first posted on Buzzfeed , defies description: For more on Rick Santorum, a real “family values” conservative who has shot to the top tier of the GOP race against all odds, just Google Rick Santorum . It’s eye-opening, the etymology of the former Senator’s name. Well played, Internet … and CUMMING headline writer.

Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr: Back Together?

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Former lovebirds and Gossip Girl co-stars Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are now giving it another shot, reportedly. Says an eyewitness who saw them together: “They were eating brunch at Allswell restaurant in Brooklyn Feb. 11. They were seated in a corner table by the window and were kissing and making out!” Their lovefest continued through into Sunday. “I saw Ed and Jessica eating brunch at Cafe Colette in Brooklyn on Feb. 12 and they were all over each other, ” a second eyewitness tells Life & Style . Just last month at the Television Critics Association conference, Ed Westwick, who plays Chuck Bass, said he had no plans for Valentine’s Day. “I’ve never done anything for Valentine’s Day because there’s never been anyone worth it, and I have no plans this [year],” he told Life & Style . Though reps for Jessica and Ed didn’t comment, the duo ended things amicably before, so it’s not hard to see how a reconciliation could happen. “He’s a really rad guy,” Jessica Szohr has said about Ed. “He’s awesome and smart and talented and adorable, and we make each other laugh.”

Dave Mustaine, Megadeth Frontman, Endorses Rick Santorum For President, Slams Newt Gingrich

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In an interview with Music Radar this week, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine dished on his support for Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum. Seriously, he did. Here’s one major quote: “I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick , that was commendable.” “Also, just watching how he hasn’t gotten into doing the horrible, horrible attack ads like Mitt Romney’s done against Newt Gingrich, and then the volume at which Newt has gone back at Romney… You know, I think Santorum has presidential qualities.” “I’m hoping that if it does come down to it, we’ll see a Republican in the White House next year … and that it’s Rick Santorum.” A spokesman for Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign, which came to life with three wins last week , has not responded to a request for comment. For Mustaine, who hopes “whatever is in the White House next year is a Republican,” candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich just don’t cut it. Of Gingrich, he says, “Watching Newt Gingrich, I was pretty excited for a while, but now he’s just gone back to being that person that everybody said he was.” “He’s that angry little man. I still like him, but I don’t think I’d vote for him. As for Romney, “I was floored the other day to see that Mitt Romney’s five boys have a $100 million trust fund. Where does a guy make that much money?” A fair question. No word if Megadeth plans to open for Rick at his campaign rallies or travel on his bus with The Duggar Family … but we really hope so.

Wankster Sit Down! Rick Santorum Says, Women Aren’t Fit For Combat Because They’re Just So “Emotional”

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Pretty much every time he opens his mouth, Rick Santorum manages to say some type of bullisht , but earlier last week he really delivered a doozy. This time it was on the matter of ladies in combat, and Santorum was quick to praise the women of the military, saying he “wants to create every opportunity for women to be able to serve this country.” CNN’s John King asked him how he felt about the fact that the military is easing some of restrictions on women in order to allow them to serve in support roles at the frontline, and Santorum gave an answer that sounded strikingly backwards, even for a Republican: I do have concerns about women in frontline combat. I think that could be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interest of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved. And I think that’s probably—you know, it already happens, of course, with the camaraderie of men in combat. But I think it would be even more unique if women were in combat, and I think that’s probably not in the best interest of men, women, or the mission. Do you agree with Rick “Sexist” Santorum???

South Carolina Republican Debate: Schizo Crowd Cheers Lots of Harsh Sound Bites!

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jon Huntsman may have gotten out just in time. In front of by FAR the most raucous crowd of any Republican debate held thus far, the five remaining GOP hopefuls squared off in South Carolina last night. Ostensibly, everybody not named Mitt Romney angled to knock the frontrunner off his pedestal. In reality, it became a game of rhetorical one-upmanship. South Carolina GOP Debate The crowd cheered their support of U.S. soldiers urinating on dead Afghan bodies and their condemnation of the Obama administration’s condemnation of it. Newt Gingrich earned a standing ovation for this quote: “Andrew Jackson knew what to do with his enemies – he killed them.” How professorial he can be. Even Romney, the most vanilla of all candidates, got into the act, saying “The right thing for Osama bin Laden was the bullet in the head that he received.” No one here’s missing Osama, but really Mitt? The audience then jeered Ron Paul for suggesting that “we should practice the Golden Rule in foreign policy.” Nice to see we boo NOT bombing people. The yelled their approval of Rick Perry saying America should “go to zero on foreign aid.” They booed Juan Williams for questioning Newt’s big janitor idea . The South Carolina primary has a reputation for being a bloodbath, and last night’s rancor showed why. Just imagine if this race were in any way close.

Iowa Caucus Results: Mitt Romney Wins By Eight Votes Over Rick Santorum!

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The closest Iowa caucus results in history produced a near draw, with Mitt Romney winning by just eight votes over Rick Santorum and Ron Paul a close third. Romney, considered the favorite in the Republican presidential race quest, did not notch a commanding win that could have ended the primary process early. However, a win’s a win, and after a year in which one candidate after another sought to be the conservative alternative to him, a pretty impressive one at that. Even more remarkable was the finish of Rick Santorum, whose candidacy was so moribund just weeks ago that many wondered why he was still in the race. The former Pennsylvania Senator was neck-and-neck with Romney, the one-time Governor of Massachusetts, for all of Tuesday night and into this morning. Romney being declared the winner by a mere eight ballots early Wednesday. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas was a close third with 21 percent of the caucus votes. “We will go on,” he said in an upbeat speech. “There is nothing to be ashamed of.” The race was so close, Romney couldn’t even claim victory in his speech. With 99 percent of the vote counted, he and Santorum each had 24.6 percent. ‘‘We also feel it’s been a great victory for us here,’’ Romney said early today, before the final votes were tallied. “Onto New Hampshire, we’ve got work to do.” ‘‘Thank you so much Iowa,’’ said Santorum, who is also off to N.H. ‘‘You, by standing up and not compromising ….. have taken the first step of taking back this country.’’ The GOP nominating process continues with the New Hampshire primary next Tuesday, followed by the South Carolina primary Saturday, January 19. The former favors Romney heavily, the latter not so much. Santorum and Newt Gingrich, who placed fourth last night in Iowa, will be contesting it hard. And Ron Paul … you can never count out Ron Paul. You may soon count out Texas Gov. Rick Perry, though. After finishing fifth in Iowa, he announced that he was returning to Texas to assess his candidacy. Last night’s Iowa caucus results: Mitt Romney: 24.6%
