Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

When Eminem announced his return to the game and followed it up with the release of Relapse, the result has been a domino effect as everyone is looking to have their hands on the Detroit rapper.

Sarah Palin Admits To Crossing The Border For Canadian Health Care

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Sarah Palin is proving herself to be a hypocrite once again.
The former governor of Alaska who's been a strong opponent against government run healthcare admitted her family used to cross the border into Canada to receive state funded health care in the 60's.

Speaking during a speech in Calgary she says,

“My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse. Believe it or not — this was in the ‘60s — we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn't that kind of ironic now…zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada…"

Ironic indeed.

So government sanctioned health care is good enough for you but not the rest of the American people Ms. Palin?

Please have a seat.

Maybe she forgot to write her lies,...I mean notes, on her hand this time.

Dan Rather: “Obama Couldn't Sell Watermelons…” [Video]

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Former CBS News correspondent Dan Rather shocked millions of viewers Sunday when he made an “inadvertently racist comment” about the 44th President of the United States.

During a taping of the Chris Matthews Show Rather speaks on the President's difficulty passing the healthcare bill.

He says that although he's a nice guy, he couldn't sell watermelons with the assistance of state troopers. At least that's what I think he means…..

“Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.”

Check out the video and interpret for yourself.

 

What a poor, poor choice of words. Racist or just poor wording?
