New "liberal" darling Rachel Maddow is enjoying all the perks of small-time stardom, including MSM profiles (link) and currently-gushing producers who, at some point in time, will find a new pet: "Her brainpower is just unreal," says executive producer Bill Wolff, edgily relaxing in his office before all hell breaks loose. "She's running around you...

On last night's Saturday Night Live (SNL), Al Franken came up with the idea for their opening sketch mocking John McCain (link) and basically calling him a liar; see the video below. Al Franken did this despite not working there for 13 years and despite (as some might recall) running for Senate from Minnesota. Of...

Surprisingly, F-movie actress and former radio talk show host Janeane Garofalo actually likes Sarah Palin! Putting aside all her bitter cynicism and vile hyper-partisanship, JFo says: My thoughts are that she, like many rightwing reactionary anti-intellectuals, is an a--hole. People keep saying, 'What a great speaker, blah blah.' She's a book-censoring, anti-science, global-warming denier, greedy...

When your whole career has been based on a series of lows, in order to get any sort of attention you have to keep getting lower and lower. Randi Rhodes lives that credo to the max, as she says this about Sarah Palin (via this): "She's the woman who shows up at the kid's birthday...

Last night, Janeane Garofalo appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher and said a lot of stupid things. And, not just things that are really dumb, but things that are really mean, really vile, really insulting, and really low-class (not to be confused with lower-class).

However, she has briefly exited from obscurity to have a very minor role as - surprise - a radio hostess in the upcoming Lindsay Lohan epic "Labor Pains".

And, here you thought Randi Rhodes couldn't get any lower. But, she's outdone herself with this rant: Of course he (McCain) became very friendly with the Vietnamese. They called him the Prince. He was well treated actually. And he was well treated because he traded these propaganda interviews for good treatment. So look, it's a...
