The Daily Show's Aasif Mandvi knew better than to let Sarah Palin get too close to him.

While discussing the silliness of the White House Correspondents Dinner, Aasif Mandvi had this to day:

"It’s inherently sending a bad message. The whole thing is inherently absurd," said Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi, who attended Friday night's Time- and People-sponsored kickoff cocktail party nonetheless. Mandvi then recalled a particularly absurd experience he had a Correspondents' Dinner after-party two years ago, when he and pals Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis found themselves in very close proximity to Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin. "Somebody asked me if I would like to get my picture taken with Sarah Palin," he said. "She was standing a few feet away. She couldn’t hear me, but [this guy] was like, 'Do you want to get your picture taken with Sarah?' And I was like, 'You know, I don’t. I really don’t.'"

Is it ANY wonder why Mandvi is one of my favorite cast members on the Daily Show?

The guy can smell bullshit, and in this case mooseshit, a mile away.

Too bad John McCain had not had his good instincts, dontcha think?

Of course Palin might have turned him down since he was of the brown persuasion and all. I mean for all she knew he could be an Arab, or a Hispanic, or worse yet, an Alaskan native. Can't allow herself to be photographed standing next one of one of those.

Unless of course he is carrying her purse that is.

The Sexiest Woman alive has some words about women and the Republican party.

Mila Kunis, Esquire magazine's choice for "Sexiest Woman Alive."

Courtesy of Esquire:

The way that Republicans attack women is so offensive to me. And the way they talk about religion is offensive. I may not be a practicing Jew, but why we gotta talk about Jesus all the time? And it's baffling to me how a poor person in Georgia can say, "I'm a Republican." Why? 

Good question.

You know one of my guilty pleasures was to watch a certain TV program called the "70's Show."

At first it was just because I of course am a product of the seventies, and it was fun to relive those years and remember how ridiculous we all were. (They actually did a pretty good job of using popular catchphrases, like "What a burn," and demonstrating how he dressed and acted.)

But then I started to really like the main actor Topher Grace, and his character's relationship with the other actor's on the show. (Especially the dad, Red Forman. I LOVE that guy!)

To honest at first I found Mila's character, Jackie, to be completely annoying, but after awhile she grew on me.

However since Kunis has left the show she has demonstrated herself to be an incredibly gifted actress and I will now choose to see movies solely on the fact that she is in them. (She has also voiced the character of "Meg" in the Family Guy which has cemented her nerd goddess credentials.)

I have also listened to her voice her political points of view a few times and find her intelligent and well read on a variety of issues. (In other words somebody the complete opposite of her character on the 70's Show.)

Part of why I am posting this is that a years back there were several YouTube videos created comparing conservative women to liberal women, using Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter as examples of the "Sexy" conservative gals, and of course making the case that liberal women were unattractive and stupid.

Well apparently Mila Kunis is VERY liberal and is now considered the sexiest woman in the world. 

And HERE was the woman that inspired that conservative vs liberal comparison four years ago today.

I believe the word here is "checkmate."

And by the way let me just say that, as a rule, liberals appreciate women for more than their looks and ability to shut up and make babies for us. 

We also appreciate them for their intellect, and gladly join the fight to help protect their equal rights and control over their own bodies.

For any of you who believe that nobody who looks like Mila Kunis could possibly be intelligent as well, I urge you to read her full Esquire interview at the link, or if you don't have the time perhaps you can watch this video of her scolding a reporter for asking why her co-star in "Friends with Benefits," Justin Timberlake, is not focusing on his music career rather than trying his hand at acting. (Oh and did I mention that she answered that reporter's somewhat rude question in Russian?)

Beautiful, intelligent, feisty, and oh so liberal.
