Kim Kardashian for … mayor of Glendale?
posted at 3:06 pm on April 18, 2012 by Tina Korbe
As we learned yesterday, hot girls have problems, too. Kim Kardashian can’t solve her own, but she’d like to try to solve the problems of a city anyway. It’d be nice if we lived in a world in which “Kim Kardashian, mayor of Glendale” was not even a remote possibility — but, alas, we don’t live in such a world. Kardashian says she’s already looking into the requirements for a run “in like five years” — and, given the appetite for celebriticians (celebrity politicians) in California and across the country these days, it unfortunately doesn’t seem 100 percent implausible that the residents of Glendale would elect her.
Really, why not? She has money and time at her disposal. That’s all it takes, right? Plus, her election would mean reality TV viewers would obtain an inside look into the workings of city government. Could be good for the future not only of Glendale but of the entire country to awaken a sense of civic responsibility via reality TV.
All I’m saying is, take her seriously, guys … because, if you don’t, you just might wake up in a world in which Paris Hilton is the first female president of the United States.

Barry isn’t “post-partisan”? That’s a shock! Who knew?

FDR was more political and just as thug.

The most political?
Barbour, you’re an okay guy and all, but being the President and politics are pretty much the one in the same.
I mean, are you under the impression that Presidents aren’t political?
ZachV on January 25, 2013 at 6:05 PM
The point is he promised he was Mr Post Partisan when the fraud started campaigning in 2007…let us know how he did, since a research article just posted yesterday asserted he is the most divisive President ever…

Barbour………from the dead party!!
Obama owns your pansy little cowering worthless buttockses, you’re not fit to lead the House or anything. We grow tired of having you be the OTHER Democrat Party.
VIVA LA NEW PARTY……..a truly Conservative OPPOSITION party.

Got by the election with the video that caused a riot and now they just keep the BS rolling!
On the Benghazi hearings, there may be nothing there.
But the Republicans made Inspector Clouseau look like Sherlock Holmes.
As a trial lawyer, I had days like that but there weren’t 12 of me working on questions that cost lives.
This is proof that, without an attack dog press, President Nixon would have served out his term and Carter would have never left Georgia.

Wow! These folks are quite slow on the uptake, are they not?

So now Peggy Noonan wants to explain Obama to us. Let me tell you something Peggy, we knew full well who Obama was back when you were still on your knees giving him BJ’s. We don’t need you to tell us now.

Yes, that is the hope, go read a book.

Dear Governor Barbour,
Please go straight to Hell and do not pass go.

Any word on how that politically connected killer Barbour furloughed is doing?
Back to arranging flowers and knitting sweaters, I reckon.

I love HA but 2 things on it make no sense.
#1 why do they often quote journolister David Weigel – who was exposed as an anti conservative bigot while he was representing conservatives at the Washington post. He should never have space on a “conservative” blog.
#2 – the relevant part of this post – why do they give time to Barbour after
he pardoned his murderer handy man.

Why not quote Arnold while you are at it. This man, barbour, has disgraced himself far worst then most disgraced pols. Haley should not be a spokesman for the republicans. You bloody your message with the blood on his hands.

duh. Yesterdays news , tomorrow!

more political than Millard Fillmore? I think not
Slade73 on January 25, 2013 at 6:29 PM
My thought too
My thought too
Meanwhile, on breaking HA headlines:
Answer to this is in tune with the new ‘push’ for a ‘new’ GOP: Rubio does not have that much power over the GOP. Rubio is being ascribed that power by the real powers, because they want amnesty so bad they are wetting their pants, and think by unleashing the dogs of their dark horse Rubio, the Tea Party et al will cave
In this thread, and in the AP thread I see nothing has changed since McCain and Bush tried an end run around the base. Here is my question to them: what is in it for real conservatives? All this gaming does not change the DEM advantage one iota, but moves full amnesty closer, which makes it harder, not easier to say NO.
At the same time, the full credit will go to the DEMs and not to the GOP. When that happens, again, the GOP elites will again blame the base

So the Establishment had their pow-wow and figured out their 2014 strategy.
1. Amnesty
2. Trash socons
3. ????
4. GOP Victory
This is sure to work.

well, SoCons do suck

Well, what do you know. They’re finally using the word “fight”. A little late in the game but better late than never.
I have another word you might start considering while you’re at it. “Enemy”. They’re not your “friends” and they neither like you nor wish to work with you.
Cleombrotus on January 25, 2013 at 6:52 PM
Obysmal is going full-speed ahead by transforming his OFA (Organizing for America) political campaign into OFA (Organizing for Action) in order to push his agenda.
He is using those email addresses to blast email support for his amnesty plans, as well as his thinly veiled gun-grabbing plans. The email linked below supposedly comes from Joe Biden.

Right on target
They are moving brazenly fast. What, are they afraid someone might find out before they vote?
If you thought there was a possibility there was any change in the Club, there isn’t. McCain is working with DEM leadership to change Senate rules to trim filibuster and increase fast track. They call it fixing government. That it is
Last time around, it was Michelle Malkin et al who rallied the public on the attempt to sneak in new legislation. These shysters haven’t forgotten, and need to move faster this time. Obamacare is the model. Read it after you vote for it
entagor on January 25, 2013 at 6:54 PM
Gee, Peggy. I don’t know. Maybe it would’ve helped if you and other professed Republicans like Brooks and Frum and Buckley and Parker hadn’t voted for him. Just a thought.
troyriser_gopftw on January 25, 2013 at 6:58 PM
It is refreshing just to see him point out what Washington “cuts” are. I don’t understand why conservative Republicans don’t always point this out whenever Democrats are caterwauling over draconian “cuts” that amount to nothing more than a percent or two less of a spending increase.

The most political presidency?
This is supposed to pass for fighting words? I’ve had enough of these puzzy-azz, punk-azz GOPe-headz with their “white-boy” attitude.
I am never voting for another Republican. Tea Party or bust. I’ve had it.

Not only the most political, also the most openly corrupt, the most openly criminal, and the most openly evil….

I’ve been watching politics closely since about 1980. I’ve never seen any Democrat take any action or make any statement that did not benefit them politically or attempt to do damage to the other side. I just assume they don’t care about the effects of their actions as long as they help to retain power.
Obama wants to obliterate the Republican party? Water is wet? Quel horreur!
PortlandJon on January 25, 2013 at 7:43 PM
I don’t know why Obama would want to annihilate the GOP. Nature abhors a vacuum, and I don’t think he’d like the thing that would rush to fill it.

Barbour is irrelevant. Stop referring to him HA and FoxNews.

If you really, and I mean really, want to understand the problem with the Republicans, let’s look at what Haley Barbour said. We had 2 candidates who said stupid things. Yes, that’s 2 candidates. The Democrats had to defend 23 seats. Think of that, 23 seats, and they not only did it but they also took 2 away from the Republicans and who does Haley Barbour blame? The 2 who said stupid things.
I’m sorry, the Republicans have completely missed the message here. They have a severe media problem. We have Pravda and Izvestia who are NOT going to allow the Republican message to get into the political discourse of a campaign. They are not going to allow candidates to offer alternatives to the favored Democrat running for election. They are not going to allow the message of free enterprise to get out. Instead, it’s going to be all about a mistake that a politician makes in an interview, it’s all about a vote taken 20 years ago, it’s all about what you might have said on a TV show when you were 20 years old. The MSM is going to do everything a political party can not do on it’s on and more.
If the Republicans don’t wake up to the vast disparity of coverage they’re getting from our illustrious free press, they may never win another national election. They really need to deal with this exactly the same way the Democrats have done with Fox News.
