Head Yahoo Reporter Fired After Racist Comment Caught On Audio The GOP ratchetness is at an all-time high as the Republican National Convention continues. Just days after an RNC attendee threw peanuts at a black reporter while saying “this is how we feed animals,” a chief Yahoo reporter was fired after making highly insensitive comments about “black people drowning” (due to hurricane Issac) while Money Mitt and the RNC party on. Yahoo News has fired its Washington bureau chief after he was caught on a microphone saying Mitt Romney and his wife were “happy to have a party with black people drowning.” Company spokeswoman Anne Espiritu said Wednesday that David Chalian’s remark was inappropriate and does not represent Yahoo’s views. She says Yahoo is apologizing to the Republican presidential candidate and his supporters, and has reached out to the campaign to convey the message. Chalian made the remark during a moment before Yahoo began its live coverage of the Republican convention on Tuesday evening. Yahoo is streaming coverage in association with ABC News. The remark is an apparent reference to the Republican convention happening as Hurricane Isaac hits the Louisiana coast. The hits just keep on coming …. Source
If only we all had parents with off-shore bank accounts . This fool has got us laughing and shaking our damn heads at the same time. President Obama was out campaigning this week and met with students to address the current loan burden many of us are feeling. “He said, ‘The best thing you can do is shop around,’ ” the president said to boos from a youthful crowd of 3,500 in a sunny quadrangle at Capital University in Bexley, Ohio. “That’s it. That’s his plan. That’s his answer to young people who are trying to figure out how to go to college and make sure that they don’t have a mountain of debt.” Democrats contend that Ryan’s budget proposal, which failed to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, would cut $115 billion from the Education Department, costing 1 million college students their Pell Grants over the next decade. Democrats argue those moves would punish many middle class and low income families trying to gain an education. The Romney campaign countered that Mr. Obama’s economic policies had resulted in a “lost generation” — graduates burdened by crushing debt, with little hope of repaying it because of the bleak job market. The campaign mocked the president’s answer to a question in a television interview in New Hampshire over the weekend, about why struggling college graduates should support his re-election. “Well, they can look at my track record,” Mr. Obama said. Guess Robmoney and Paul Lyan don’t think investing in the average students future is worth it. Source Images via WENN/Youtube

Joan Rivers Says She Should Slap Rihanna For Still Loving Chris Brown Roc Nation Rih Rih has had enough of the side-swipes and backlash she’s received after confessing her undying love for ex-booskie Chris Breezy to Oprah in front of the world last Sunday. Foul-mouthed fashion police pundit Joan Rivers recently made an out-of-pocket comment about badgal Rih’s candid sit down , and Rihanna fired back. The Fashion Police co-host joked on the microblogging site about Rihanna’s revealing interview on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN program Next Chapter, where the ‘We Found Love’ singer shared that she and ex-boyfriend Chris Brown still “love each other”. “Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it’s MY turn to slap her,” Rivers posted today. Rihanna replied: “@Joan_Rivers wow u really do get slow when you’re old huh?” and added: “Slap on some diapers.” Rihanna’s interview with Winfrey aired in the US on August 19th and saw the singer discuss her family, her career and the aftermath of her relationship with Brown, which ended in 2009 when he assaulted her before the Grammy Awards. Daaayum. Joan Rivers is known to go hard in the paint but we guess nobody told her that ratchet Rih Rih does not play! Source
Here we go again. Money Makin’ Mitt done started some isht! Mitt Romney joked about his birth certificate at a rally in his home state Friday, taking a shot at President Barack Obama over doubts about where the president was born. “No one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate, they know that this is the place that we were born and raised,” Mr. Romney said, as he spoke about his and his wife’s births in the Mitten State. After decrying the tone of the president’s campaign, Mr. Romney waded into the muck on the stump Friday. Meanwhile his campaign aide assured reporters that the Republican presidential hopeful believes the president was born in the U.S. Mr. Obama, who has released his long-form birth certificate, was born in Hawaii. The Obama campaign immediately seized on the remark. “Throughout this campaign, Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them,” said Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign. “But Governor Romney’s decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America.” Spontaneous remarks such as the one Mr. Romney made Friday are characteristic of the candidate. They have repeatedly thrown his campaign off message when Mr. Romney has made offhanded comments about the two Cadillacs his wife owns and his friendships with Nascar team owners, among others. But some Romney supporters at Friday’s event found the remark amusing. “That was good,” 77-year-old John Edmonds said, chuckling. “That fit perfectly.” Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, Mr. Romney’s running mate, again took some swipes at the president Friday over Mr. Obama’s 2008 comments that he had trouble winning certain working-class voters who “cling to guns or religion.” At the time, Mr. Obama was sharply ridiculed for the remark. “He said people from states like ours, we like to cling to our guns and our religion,” Mr. Ryan said, drawing on his own Midwestern roots. “I just have one thing to say: This Catholic deer hunter is guilty as charged and proud of it.” Wamp, wamp… These guys are so obvious with their stupid jokes and their not-so-subtle racist undertones. No wonder Mitt has ZERO percent of the black vote. Source WENN
