Barack Obama = Matt Santos
Politics Buzz It seems similarities between Barack Obama and Matt Santos (the character played by Jimmy Smitts on The West Wing) are not coincidental. The writers say the character was based on Obama, then a relatively unknown senatorial candidate, but it now seems to be Obama who is following in the footsteps of the fictional presidential candidate. Like Obama, Santos was a young charismatic politician from an ethnic minority aiming to rise above race, up against a not-so-conservative Republican. Only time will tell how reality measures up to the show’s utopian vision of America.

Hillary Andrews
Politics Buzz The most popular metereologist on the Weather Channel is at the center of a sexual harassment law suit. Apparently her co-anchor, Bob Stokes, made crude remarks like, “Will you lick my swizzle stick?” and insulted her during live shows when she didn’t respond to his advances. It’s tough being hot in the otherwise drab world of meteorology.

Miscarriage of Justice
Politics Buzz An email from a laid-off associate at the Paul Hastings law firm details how a colleague was fired after having a miscarriage because they didn’t want her to get pregnant again. Big corporate law-firms are sometimes sh*tty and sexist! Spread the word.

Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos
Politics Buzz Rush Limbaugh urges his conservative fans to vote for Hillary so that neither Democrat can win the primaries. In Limbaugh’s own words: “The endgame is to see that neither of these candidates can win by virtue of the primaries” assuring that Hillary and Barack “will be so bloodied and brought down to earth that neither can win in the general.” A few outside observers think that Operation Chaos is actually working while others are skeptical. Of course, Rush is happy to take full credit for the current Obama Clinton fatigue.

McCain Hates Women
Politics Buzz Bloggers are urging women to send their resumes to Senator McCain in response to his comment that women need more “education and training” if they want equal pay. After Senate Republicans blocked the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act last Wednesday, McCain (who failed to even show up for the vote) blames the wage gap on lack of education. Since 58% of college graduates are women, maybe McCain needs more education on the issue?

Gov Love: The Eliot Splitz-Her Story
Politics Buzz Well, that didn’t take long: Hustler has turned the Eliot Spitzer sex scandal into its latest porno flick. The YouTube trailer begins with Spitzer’s stand-in (30-year porn veteran Mike Horner) telling a call girl, “I have to leave for Washington on official business in an hour, so we’re going to have to make this a quickie.” It just gets better from there. The DVD hits shelves next month, and seems destined to be come an instant cult classic. The trailer is actually safe for work, but the box cover definitely is not.
