Donnie’s Angels

 

I’m not sure what Donald Trump would do without his team of blond spokeswomen. On Wednesday, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway (top right) held her own against Rachel Maddow. Nearly every night, Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany (top center) is gang-tackled by liberals on CNN, but she generally comes off well. And then of course there is Trump daughter Ivanka (top left).

Makes me wonder why old foot-in-his-mouth doesn’t just drop out of the election and let one of these women run in his place.

This guy is as dull as dishwater, but I am nevertheless appreciating Wolf Blitzer. Unlike everyone else in the media, at least he keeps his opinions to himself.

Haunted Houses!

 

Two ghost stories that aren’t particularly scary but man, do they know how to stage one helluva haunted house:  1999’s The Haunting and 2015’s Crimson Peak.

 

 

I will watch these movies repeatedly just to marvel at the sets. Pictured above, Crimson Peak. Pictured below, The Haunting.

Politics!

 

There are news reports that Donald Trump received his first intelligence on Wednesday. It’s about time.

Willa’s Butt!

 

 

Someone at MTV must admire Scream star Willa Fitzgerald’s cute bubble butt, especially in tight jeans, because we sure got to see a lot of it – not that I’m complaining.

This dude in a scene from Amazon’s Alpha House also enjoyed Willa’s butt: 

 

 

Willa’s Butt, by the way, is also the name of a cactus indigenous to the American Southwest.

Ashleigh Baker

 

Far be it from me to accuse A&E of turning its reality show 60 Days In into a women-in-prison flick, but this was a highlighted scene from the premiere of the second season:

Poor Ashleigh Baker (above) was pressured to pull her pants down so a gang of drooling, salacious female inmates could ogle her ass.

I know I’ve seen this before, in either The Big Doll House or Chained Heat.

Don Lemon Week!

 

“We tend not to trust disagreeable people, in part because they’re not trustworthy.”

 

– Dan McAdams, professor of psychology at Northwestern University, stating the obvious while explaining Donald Trump to CNN’s Don Lemon.

 

 

 

 

– Donald Trump on Twitter, explaining Don Lemon to the world.

 

We noticed that Dandy Don wore his glasses this week during his show. Everyone knows that smart people wear glasses.

I am currently reading a biography about Joseph Stalin and his reign of terror in Russia.

This is how I comfort myself with the fact that yes, politics have been worse than they are this year in America.

I’ve been ignoring the Summer Olympics.

I just … don’t … seem to care.

Andrea Tantaros joined the roster of women accusing Roger Ailes of sexual harassment at Fox News. 

 

Didn’t we (sort of) predict this a month ago?

As part of a major corporate-culture overhaul at Fox, the network announced its latest midday offering, Outweighed, in which portly TV journalists Barbara Starr, Jeanne Moos, and Candy Crowley will gang up on a different hapless male each day. The ladies’ first guest will be deposed Fox chief Roger Ailes, pictured at top.

 

Before we say goodbye to Roger, let’s take one more look at some of the talent he’s introduced to television journalism (click on thumbnails for larger view):

Apparently this guy has never read the reviews for Tyler Perry movies.
