\"joeb\"Just in case you thought it was only the US arm of the Murdoch “news” empire that’s a bunch of morons, we bring you Kay Burley of Sky News<\/a> (Murdoch’s News Corp. owns somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% of British Sky Broadcasting – not that anybody cares, but I need more words here to get the text to wrap properly around this picture). Burley – who is apparently Catholic, for gosh sakes – wondered just what the hell was going on with the bruise on Joe Biden’s forehead. <\/p>\n

“What’s happened to his head?” Burley asked on Sky News. “I’m sure that’s what everyone’s asking at home…it looks like he’s walked into a door!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Her equally brilliant co-host speculated that perhaps Joe had slipped on the ice in Vancouver (apparently they’re not aware that it’s been in the 50’s in Vancouver this week – or perhaps they thought the VP was out wandering around the “killer” bobsled run). Alas, Joe is a nice Catholic boy, and the “bruise” on his head was just his Ash Wednesday ashes. There are at least some<\/em><\/strong> differences between Sky and Fow, though. When Burley realized what an idiot she was, she ‘fessed up and apologized.<\/p>\n

“I know that I am a very bad Catholic,” Burley said. “I know now that it is Ash Wednesday and I know that those are ashes on his forehead. I hang my head in shame. I’ll be back in just a moment.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking of Fox, Michelle Obama will be making her Fox debut this Saturday<\/a> with Mike Huckabee (who apparently has a show; I had no idea, but then why would I?). She and the Huckster will talk about how awful it is to be fat (Kevin Smith would make a great surprise guest for this segment), though they’ll talk abotu other things, like “including what life is like at the White House.” That’s about as close as you’re<\/em><\/strong> gonna get to it, Mikey.<\/p>\n

As for Michelle’s husband, he’s apparently willing to go on the Daily Show<\/a>, but is apparently (and appropriately) terrified of Stephen Colbert.<\/p>\n

“I think the President would love to,” Gibbs said when asked if President Obama would appear on “The Daily Show.” “Just maybe not Colbert,” he said.<\/p>\n

Gibbs explained his reasoning for avoiding Colbert: “I have yet to see a politician best Stephen Colbert in an interview on his show. I mean, he’s really, really good.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Big mistake, in my opinion. Obama could be Colbert’s new “black friend.”<\/p>\n

First, Levi knocks up Bristol. A shotgun marriage is quickly arranged, but Sarah’s a loser, so the marriage never occurs. Then Levi disses Sarah. Sarah disses Levi. “Yes she did.” “No I di-int.” Levi does a photo-shoot for Playgirl. Now Bristol is going after Levi<\/a> for more child support money.<\/p>\n

The lawyer for Sarah Palin’s kid is scoffing at legal docs filed by Levi’s lawyer — docs claiming Levi made but a pittance over the last few years and should not have to pay $1,688.42 a month in child support – which is what Bristol wants.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds a lot like an episode of ‘Trailer Park Boys.’ <\/p>\n

Speaking of trailer trash, Tiger Woods will be making a public statement on Friday<\/a>. This is big news (I feel compelled to point that out, as you may, for some reason, not really give a shit).<\/p>\n

Woods will apologize for his behavior, his agent Mark Steinberg said Wednesday. No questions will be allowed.<\/p>\n

“While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him,” Steinberg said in an e-mail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Didn’t he already do that, like, a couple months ago? I didn’t care then, so why would I care now? Although I did hear a couple of pretty good Tiger Woods jokes.<\/p>\n

Rumor has it a certain SU alum and his boss will be attending the Georgetown basketball game tonight in DC, as Georgetown takes on…um…let me see…I had it here a couple of minutes ago. Oh well, whoever they’re playing tonight, let’s hope the Hoyas lose. Otherwise, you might find me a little grumpy tomorrow morning. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
