Another big Democrat Wall Street donor gets busted

Shades of Bernie Madoff! This time the big bucks Wall Street Democrat donor was Raj Rajaratnam seen here doing the perp walk after being busted today over a bit of insider trading:

And who were Rajaratnam's favorite politicians?

Rajaratnam and his wife were also major contributors to a number of Democratic campaigns, giving a total of $118,000 to, among others, the Senate campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer and the presidential campaigns of Mrs. Clinton and Barack Obama.

"He was big with Hillary and then jumped over to Obama after Hillary lost," said one Democratic party figure involved in fundraising.

...

Rajaratnam is also a major trustee of the American India Foundation, which is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative. President Clinton is the Foundation's honorary chair, and has publicly thanked Rajaratnam and his wife for their multi-million dollar support.

There's more about ole Raj's support for Tamil terrorists by following the link and Hillary's whitewashing of it.

"You shouldn't lump all terrorists together," Sen. Clinton said in 2007.

Look what money will buy when you go shopping at the Democrat store.

As for Obama, as I read Rajaratnam's contributions, most went to Barack: Obama ($30,800) followed by the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee ($26,700), and then Hillary and a bunch of the worst Donk Senators you can think of including Chuckie Schumer, Maria Cantwell, and Robert Menendez. Do you think they'll be returning their ill-gotten gains anytime soon and shutting down the usual Donk piety about those evil wealthy Republicans? I'm not holding my breath.

Hot times on Oprah Winfrey's plane!

Oprah Winfrey, the rotund Queen of daytime TV, is being sued by a former stewardess on her personal airplane who was fired:

The plaintiff Corrine Gehrls alleges that Gayle King's daughter, Kirby Bumpus, and the other flight attendant on the jet, Myron Gooch, told Oprah Winfrey directly that Gerhls and the pilot, Terry Pansing, engaged in "inappropriate intimate conduct" during a June 14, 2009 flight.

Bumpus and Gooch?

Gehrls states in the complaint that no such conduct took place and, furthermore, there is no way anyone could have witnessed such conduct since Winfrey and the other passengers ingested sleeping pills and slept throughout the flight.

Oprah is taking sleeping pills? That might explain why she looked like a bag lady (with bag) when she flew over to Denmark to persuade the IOC to give Chicago the Olympics.

 

 

 

 

Gerhls also claims in the lawsuit that Winfrey favored Gooch and turned a blind eye when Gooch and Gayle King shared the jet's double bed on another flight.

Woohoo! Unless Gayle goes both ways, I guess that puts to rest the rumors that Gayle and Oprah are longstanding lesbian pals. 

The complaint points out that Winfrey's only gripe with Gooch was his food ordering skills and that Winfrey allegedly said "[W]hite folks don't know what southern food should taste like." 

Who knew that someone who fed at a trough was such a gourmet?

According to the complaint, Gerhls and Pansing passed a lie detector test and the results are attached to the complaint as exhibits.

The full text of the lawsuit is available at the link. 

Norwegian jokes: lutefisk and Barack Obama

Those pesky Norwegians love their practical jokes. First there was lutefisk, now they give Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize. Only the American left doesn't realize the joke is on them and BO.

Got curious about how the media in Norway is playing the Nobel Peace Prize decision (I read/write Norwegian fluently), so I check out the Aftenposten (largest daily) this morning. Found one of those opinion poll widgets on their site- vote on if you think the prize to Obama was correct. 62% of Aftenposten's own Norwegian readers voted not vs 37% who voted yes. Just thought you'd be interested in how it plays out over there. Swedish dailies are pretty much skewing this as a stupid joke the Norwegians have created (to be expected...Swedes love to laugh at dumb stuff their next door neighbors do).

Buffoon Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize confirming its comedic value

Hey Lars, let's give the clown the Nobel Peace Prize!

Gosh Sven, that'll be even funnier than Arafat!

The Seinfeld Award: Obama Should Turn the Prize Down, But He Won't

This is so embarrassing. It highlights Mr. A-'s odd propensity to be given grades, degrees, book deals, law review editorships, presidencies, and now Nobel Prizes based on doing nothing.

...

The Nobel committee has not done Obama any favors here. This is going to make him more of a joke.

Under such circumstances, he should decline the award and state he wants to win it after he's, I don't know, healed the earth and lowered the oceans, as promised. The Nobel committee will be just itching to give him three or four more of these anyway.

But he's a malignant narcissist and so he won't. The most he can bring himself to do is accept the award on behalf of those wise enough and filled with enough hope and change to vote for him -- sharing the award with those virtuous enough to vote him another beauty pageant prize.

Good God. Laughingstock.

Heck, maybe next year the Eurotards will give Hussein another Nobel for literature. Or maybe not.

Tell me that Barack Obama isn't a dork

Click for full size Obama dorkiness

I happened to visit whitehouse.gov today and what currently slaps a visitor in the face first is this weird photo of Obama with his chin a mile in the air. Do you think he's posing for an "El Presidente of a third world country portrait" or is he just a flaming dork? I'm voting for the latter although I wouldn't be surprised if BO dreams of the former.

The caption is comedy gold too - "Your WEEKLY ADDRESS. Recorded on his way back from the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh, the President discusses how engagement produced tangible results in several areas. " I always wondered what happened to all the purveyors of stilted content-free prose when the Russians dumped communist dialectic for pure thuggery. They must have all got gigs with the Obama administration.

Obama energy bozo Steven Chu says Americans are like unruly teenagers

Steven Chu, the global warming lunatic that Barack Obama selected to be Energy Secretary, got all cranky yesterday because those pesky American citizens aren't signing on to wear ashes and sackcloth over global warming:

When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons.
...
“The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.”

About what you would expect from this arrogant weasel and this arrogant administration, but heck, why not show these clowns what unruly really is?

Another "Let them eat cake" moment from Queen Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama on Thursday took time out from her busy schedule of power shopping to bestow her grace upon the peasants:

Let's say you're preparing dinner and you realize with dismay that you don't have any certified organic Tuscan kale. What to do?

Here's how Michelle Obama handled this very predicament Thursday afternoon:

The Secret Service and the D.C. police brought in three dozen vehicles and shut down H Street, Vermont Avenue, two lanes of I Street and an entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station. They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with binoculars atop trucks. Though the produce stand was only a block or so from the White House, the first lady hopped into her armored limousine and pulled into the market amid the wail of sirens.

Then, and only then, could Obama purchase her leafy greens. "Now it's time to buy some food," she told several hundred people who came to watch. "Let's shop!"

Queen Michelle's favorite expression.

The first lady picked up a straw basket and headed for the "Farm at Sunnyside" tent, where she loaded up with organic Asian pears, cherry tomatoes, multicolored potatoes, free-range eggs and, yes, two bunches of Tuscan kale. She left the produce with an aide, who paid the cashier as Obama made her way back to the limousine.

There's nothing like the simple pleasures of a farm stand to return us to our agrarian roots.

Indeed.

The first lady had encouraged Freshfarm Markets, the group that runs popular farmers markets in Dupont Circle and elsewhere, to set up near the White House, and she helped get the approvals to shut down Vermont Avenue during rush hour on Thursdays. But the result was quite the opposite of a quaint farmers market. Considering all the logistics, each tomato she purchased had a carbon footprint of several tons.

The promotion of organic and locally grown food, though an admirable cause, is a risky one for the Obamas, because there's a fine line between promoting healthful eating and sounding like a snob. The president, when he was a candidate in 2007, got in trouble in Iowa when he asked a crowd, "Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?" Iowans didn't have a Whole Foods.

For that reason, it's probably just as well that the first lady didn't stop by the Endless Summer Harvest tent yesterday. The Virginia farm had a sign offering "tender baby arugula" -- hydroponically grown, pesticide free -- and $5 for four ounces, which is $20 a pound.

Obama, in her brief speech to the vendors and patrons, handled the affordability issue by pointing out that people who pay with food stamps would get double the coupon value at the market. Even then, though, it's hard to imagine somebody using food stamps to buy what the market offered: $19 bison steak from Gunpowder Bison, organic dandelion greens for $12 per pound from Blueberry Hill Vegetables, the Piedmont Reserve cheese from Everson Dairy at $29 a pound. Rounding out the potential shopping cart: $4 for a piece of "walnut dacquoise" from the Praline Bakery, $9 for a jumbo crab cake at Chris's Marketplace, $8 for a loaf of cranberry-walnut bread and $32 for a bolt of yarn.

Let them eat Bison steak?

The first lady, in gray slacks and blue sweater, marveled that the people were "so pumped up" despite the rain. "I have never seen so many people so excited about fruits and vegetables!" she said. (Must be the tender baby arugula.)

At least she wasn't wearing one of her usual Halloween costumes.

She spoke of the global reach of her cause: "The first thing world leaders, prime ministers, kings, queens ask me about is the White House garden. And then they ask about Bo."

They are undoubtedly aware of Queen Michelle's room temperature IQ.

She spoke of the fuel fed to the world's most powerful man: "I've learned that when my family eats fresh food, healthy food, that it really affects how we feel, how we get through the day . . . whether there's a Cabinet meeting or whether we're just walking the dog."

And she spoke of her own culinary efforts: "There are times when putting together a healthy meal is harder than you might imagine."

Please - the White House chefs do all the cooking there. Queen Michelle doesn't have to do anything but whine. Of course, she's good at that.

How is Barack Obama like Kanye West?
