Jimmy Kimmel to Pedestrians: Which is Better, Obamacare or Affordable Care Act?

Jimmy Kimmel took to the public for another classic segment in which he asked people for their views on Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act. It turns out, at least based on this small sample size, that plenty of people in America absolutely hate Obamacare, but love the Affordable Care Act. Which is interesting, considering they are the exact. Same. Thing. Jimmy Kimmel – Obamacare vs. Affordable Care Act Obamacare, of course, is just a nickname – originally used pejoratively by opponents but later embraced by Obama himself – for the landmark legislation. What Kimmel found is that many provisions of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (its full name) are viewed positively by the public. Obamacare, though? Don’t even get them started on that debacle. It may even be worth shutting down the federal government over.

John Boehner Featured, Mocked in Latest "Wrecking Ball" Parody

The U.S. government has been shutdown , as Congress could not reach a funding agreement last night and over 800,000 workers stayed home today as a result, forced into furloughs by the maneuver. Moreover, countless parks and tourist attractions around the nation have been closed, costing states millions of dollars and citizens hours of enjoyment. We’re not saying we’re in favor of the situation, which is sadly symbolic of the utter gridlock in Washington these days, but due to the following video… let’s just say we mind it a lot less. With many blaming House Speaker John Boehner and his refusal to budge on measures that would hamper Obamacare for the shutdown, a genius Internet user has super-imposed the politician’s face on Miley Cyrus’ body in the latest, greatest Wrecking Ball parody . Get it? Because Boehner came in like a wrecking ball, clawed and chained and just wanted to break the walls of the administration? Watch and try not to burst out laughing now: John Boehner “Wrecking Ball” Parody

Sydney Leathers Crashes Anthony Weiner Election Night Party

Anthony Weiner’s ill-fated mayoral bid ended with a pitiful fifth-place finish , a middle finger toward the world and even a visit from his sexting partner. Yes, Sydney Leathers crashed his election night party. Sydney Leathers Crashes Anthony Weiner Campaign Party Minutes after the polls closed, Weiner was nowhere to be seen at his primary gathering, but Leathers was, holding court at Connolly’s Pub in Midtown. She bashed Weiner, claiming he needs therapy.” She also added that he should “change his name to something more appropriate,” and, when asked what she was referring to replied, “Oh, you know.” Outside what he likely envisioned as a “victory” party months ago, the 23-year-old whose sexting ways brought his campaign down took center stage. “Why not be here?” Sydney Leathers asked reporters who questioned her presence. “I’m kind of the reason he’s losing. So, might as well show up.” These two really deserve each other. Leathers, who has launched a porn career since the scandal broke, said Weiner needed “to stop being an embarrassment to the city of New York.” “He’s going to continue this behavior,” she said of the man known online as Carlos Danger. “If it’s not going to be me, it’s going to be some other girl.” Not everyone was thrilled about this girl showing up. At one point, one of Weiner’s supporters scolded Leathers, saying: “You must really be ashamed!” We know, we can’t believe it either: Anthony Weiner has supporters?!

Anthony Weiner: OWNED By NYC Voter in Jewish Deli Argument!

Happy Rosh Hashanah from Anthony Weiner, who got into an argument with a voter in a Jewish deli this morning and showed his true colors once again. Proving once and for all why he will never become mayor of New York City, Weiner lost it when a potential constituent suggested that he call it a campaign. Take a look at what the disgraced politician and self-described argumentative, perpetually horny man had to say about that in the amazing video below: Anthony Weiner Explodes at Jewish Voter Unhappy with the suggestion that he drop out, Weiner condescendingly called the man a “jackass” and repeatedly asked “who are you to judge me?” Pretty sure it’s the guy’s job to judge candidates for public office, but no matter. Weiner kept yapping and digging himself a deeper hole by the second. Incredibly, the voter had zero intention of backing down, instead OWNING Anthony Weiner for his lack of morals and self-serving political ambitions. Three words: Best. Campaigner. Ever. The guy at the deli, not Weiner. Anthony Weiner Takes on Critic New York’s Democratic primary is set for next Tuesday, September 10, at which point Weiner will finally be put out of his political misery. Count the days …

David Frost Dies; British Journalism Great Was 74

Veteran British journalist has passed away at the age of 74, according to the BBC. Frost died of a suspected heart attack on Saturday night aboard the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, where he was due to give a speech, his family said. Frost’s career in TV news and entertainment spanned almost half a century. Known both for an amiable personality and incisive sit-downs with prominent figures, he won fame around the world for his interviews with Richard Nixon. He was the only person to have interviewed all six British prime ministers serving between 1964-2007 and the seven U.S. presidents from 1969-2008. He also interviewed Orson Welles, Muhammad Ali and Clint Eastwood. Prime Minister David Cameron praised David Frost for being an “extraordinary man with charm, wit, talent, intelligence and warmth in equal measure.” “The Richard Nixon interviews were among the great broadcast moments, but there were many other brilliant interviews,” Cameron said. “He could be, and certainly was with me, both a friend and a fearsome interviewer.” Frost began television hosting while still a student at Cambridge University. He went on to host the BBC’s satirical news show The Week That Was in the early 1960s, and, later, The Frost Report and Breakfast with Frost . His signature, “Hello, good evening and welcome” was often mimicked. R.I.P.

New Hampshire Woman Calls 911 to Request Pen, Gets Arrested

Take note, THGers. Here is what we’ve learned about 911 this month: Do not call if McDonald’s messes up your order . Do not call if the cable goes out, even during a Breaking Bad episode . And do not call if you are in need of a pen, something New Hamphire resident Jeanie Dufresne discovered the hard way this week. As explained in the following video, Dufresne angered an operator for making just such a request over the weekend, getting herself arrested for the THIRD TIME THIS MONTH for using 911 in an inappropriate manner. The 66-year old told authorities each time that she just wanted someone to talk to. Darn. This story just went from funny to sad… Woman Calls 911, Asks for Pen

Sydney Leathers "Weiner And Me" Porn Movie: Released!

Anthony Weiner’s nothing-but-class sexting partner Sydney Leathers has released her adult film debut, courtesy of the venerable studio Vivid Entertainment. Its title? Weiner and Me. With the NYC mayoral primary fast approaching and the disgraced politician’s poll numbers at all-time lows, the film’s release does not help Weiner. Not that he had a prayer anyway, but still. Doesn’t help. Especially given the overt references to his seedy ways – and hilarious sexting handle . In one scene, Sydney Leathers is walking down the street wearing a fake campaign T-shirt that reads “Erect Carlos Danger For Mayor” … get it? The movie also features an actor playing a well-endowed Anthony Weiner . At one point, the 23-year-old Leathers is seen with a tie around her neck with a look of ecstasy etched on her face as she prepares to remove his pants. SPOILER ALERT: Unlike his attempt at a political comeback, she succeeds. Speaking to the N.Y. Daily News, the Indiana native said: “There is sex, but it has some really funny bits too. That’s part of the reason I agreed to do it.” “After I did the Vivid photo shoot a couple weeks ago, people already thought I made a porno, so it was like, “Eh, they think I did, I might as well.” Yes, this is a separate project from the previous Sydney Leathers porn endeavor, which merely consisted of erotic photos … just clearing that up. “My whole thing is, even if I’m cashing in my body, it’s my body to cash in on. It was my choice. No one knows what’s best for me better than I do.” “Obviously I wouldn’t have done it if I thought it was going to ruin my life.” Good point, Sydney. Clearly that happened a long time prior to this.
