Insider co-host likens Sarah Palin to Kim Kardashian. I'm pretty sure he owes me copyright money for that.

Courtesy of Al Arabiyah News:

The Insider’s co-host Kevin Frazier on the CBC network described Palin, the former governor of Alaska, as taking the opportunity to further her fame just like “The Kardashians,” who have been lambasted by some observers for seeking fame. 

In a segment discussing her upcoming show, “Amazing America with Sarah Palin,” Frazier said: 

“The one thing I kept thinking - I have met the political Kardashian,” right-wing U.S. website Breibart reported him as saying Thursday. 

Bad news I just did a quick Google search and it turns out that just about EVERYBODY has been comparing Palin to the Kardashians for years. I KNEW I should have had Klondike Kardashian copyrighted!

I love this part of the article.

Frazier added: “She has made something out of nothing and people keep eating [it up].”

Well that may be about the truest things ever said about Sarah Palin.

Of course the one thing that separates Kim Kardashian from Palin is that HER reality shows were an actual success, and that success has now spread throughout her entire family.

Palin on the other hand has failed time and time again, and every attempt by her family to ride on her coattails ends in a complete disaster.

Personally I think we are seeing the final death throes of Palin's unnecessarily extended fifteen minutes of fame.

After this it is going to be sad little appearances on local talk radio shows, which of course she has already started doing, and old people porn that nobody will ever watch.

Kim Kardashian not allowed to fly to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday due to pregnancy. Now why does this seem familiar?

Courtesy of the Daily Mail: 

Kim Kardashian wasn't there to celebrate Kanye West's birthday. 

While pals like Beyonce and Jay-Z were on hand at the party in New York City, Kanye's girlfriend of more than one year was noticeably absent - stuck Los Angeles because she is no longer able to travel by plane ahead of the birth of their first child next month. 

A source confirmed to Us Weekly: 'Kim isn't allowed to fly'. 

Wait, what?

Not allowed to fly?

But Kim Kardashian is only 32 years old, yet when Sarah Palin was 44 years old, and, according to her, ALSO eight months pregnant, SHE was allowed to fly.

Not only that but, also according to her, she was leaking amniotic fluid and experiencing contractions, yet she STILL got on a plane and flew ALL the way from Texas to Alaska and then drove out to Wasilla to give birth to a child with Down syndrome.

You know you would think that a woman as wealthy and influential as Kim Kardashian could get on a plane to celebrate with her boyfriend if she wanted to, despite a doctor's advice, wouldn't you?

I mean looking at it today it seems almost as if Sarah Palin either, did not care about the health of her child, did not check with her doctor before flying to and from Texas, or, and certainly this cannot be true, lied about being pregnant.

Lied to the American people for years, and years, and years, about a pregnancy? Why that would just be insane, right?

Just for fun: Robin Williams has a little Twitter fun at Kim Kardashian's expense.

Okay so the very pregnant Kim Kardashian showed up recently at the Met Ball, with a not very enthusiastic looking Kanye West, which spurred social media to tweet, Facebook, and Reddit the pictures all over the internet.

Even today it is so pervasive that it is almost impossible to go anywhere on line without bumping into the image.

However it is not my usual kind of a subject so I have not paid a great deal of attention. That is until one of the folks I follow on Twitter responded to the picture in a way that MUST be shared!

I think I wore it better! twitter.com/robinwilliams/…

Okay you have to admit THAT is pretty funny!

By the way just in case there are any of you who still think that Kim is pulling a Sarah Palin with a fake pregnancy, I just have to say, "Yeah, not so much."

NOBODY who was as vain as this woman clearly is, would allow herself to be seen like this unless she had no other choice.

Okay back to politics now.

Kim Kardashian does what Sarah Palin never could. Shows the belly. Update!

After all of those rumors started to swirl about Kim Kardashian faking her pregnancy she did what would seem to be the most obvious response.

She showed a picture of the naked belly bump. Good for her, speculation will now come to a stop.

However after all of these years, Sarah Palin has not ONCE done the same. Not once.

And why not?

Simply put, there is no  picture of a naked belly for her to share, because it never happened.

March 26, 2008.

The same thing goes for a birth certificate, a picture of her in the hospital right after the delivery, or of her breast feeding.

That is why there has NEVER been any doubt for most of us that she faked her pregnancy. Because, and trust me on this, if Sarah Palin could make us all look like fools, she would have done so many times over by now.

Update: For those who have been interested in Palin's speech at the Schiavo fundraiser, that video can be found here. 

And YES she tells the pregnancy story yet again.

Ever since Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy, now every famous pregnant person is suspect. Update!

Courtesy of The Hollywood Gossip: 

The National Enquirer screams on its latest cover that Kim Kardashian is faking her pregnancy because her "baby bump seems to change size and position… as she travels around the country." 

Why would Kim possibly conduct such a hoax? Straight cash, of course. 

Alleges the newspaper: 

“A source close to Kim believes the star might have hatched a sensational scheme with her money-hungry momager Kris Jenner to fake her pregnancy while secretly having a surrogate mom carry a baby for her and her lover Kanye West." 

Well... sure. 

Asks the newspaper: “How convenient is it that Kim got pregnant just as she was making a mad push to wrap up her ongoing divorce from Kris Humhpries?” 

And also: 

“It also would be an insane coincidence that Kim just so happened to get pregnant soon after she learned the girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush - Lilit Avagyan - is pregnant.”

Okay now I don't think that Sarah Palin was the FIRST person to fake a pregnancy, but clearly her  audacious, and successful, attempt to fool the public has meant that certain media outlets have scrutinized famous pregnancies with a particular eye out for frauds. (I have spoken to TWO different writers for the National Enquirer and they both accept as fact that Palin faked her pregnancy.)

Now as you know there was a lot of controversy surrounding Beyone's recent "pregnancy" as well.  In THAT case I am on the side of that being a potential hoax.

However in Kardashian's case I really am not convinced that she is faking it. After reading this I Googled some images and it looks like her entire body is expanding, and NOT like somebody simply strapping on a empathy belly to fool the media.

However I would like to say that considering the fact that Klondike Kardashian seems to have based her life after leaving the governorship on the business model laid out by the ACTUAL Kardashians, it would be rather ironic if Kim were returning the favor by taking a page out of the Palin playbook as well.

I'm just saying.

Update! You know the first thing I think of WHENEVER anybody questions the validity of a pregnancy, is that if the local press in Alaska had demonstrated even a fraction of that kind of skepticism about Palin's pregnancy she would have been quickly found out and it would have dramatically changed the face of politics in the country today.

Kind of makes you pissed off at the ADN all over again doesn't it?

New Rules from last Friday.

Episode 260 by BillMaher1956 Maher covers everything from the idea that Jesus might have been married, to Kate Middleton's breasts, to the ridiculous idea that any of us should care what the undecideds finally decide in this next election.

Remember this IS HBO so if you are easily offended....well if you are easily offended how in the hell did you end up here?

Here is the video of President Obama's White House Correspondents Dinner performance. Good stuff here!

I have to say that I was at first confused by the live mic joke that started Obama's set. I caught on pretty fast however, and when the toilet flushes I was laughing out loud.

My daughter and I watched it together, and there were certainly portions of it that you HAD to be very well informed about politics and current events to pick up on. I kept having to tell her I wold explain it later, because if I tried to do it on the spot I missed the next joke. (I hate that!)

I thought the President was very good, and pretty damn edgy.  All I can say about that is that I certainly hope Morgan Freeman has a good sense of humor.

By the way here is Jimmy Kimmel's set.  I actually thought the President did a better job, though I laughed pretty hard at some of Kimmel's stuff. (NOT the unnecessary censorship schtick however.)

(P.S. I put this up last night as well, but for those who cannot play video here is the transcript of the President's remarks. I have to say though, it sounds much better the way the President delivers it.)
