Rahm and Barry's T-Shirt Stand

Vanity Fair asks, "Can Washington be fixed?" Rahm and Barry have the answer:

"It got so bad last December that President Obama and Emanuel would joke that, when it was all over, they were going to open a T-shirt stand on a beach in Hawaii. It would face the ocean and sell only one color and one size. “We didn’t want to make another decision, or choice, or judgment,” Emanuel tells Purdum. They took to beginning staff meetings with Obama smiling at Emanuel and simply saying “White,” and Emanuel nodding back and replying “Medium.”



By all means go set up that T-shirt stand, don't let us stop you.

The Devil on Levi Johnston's Shoulder

Via Memeorandum Vanity Fair pays Levi Johnston big bucks to dish dirt on Sarah Palin. Wonder of wonders, he complies. As the mother of a 19 year old girl, a Levi Johnston is about my worst nightmare. As Ace at Ace of Spades notes, the chances I would make this creep privy to all the family business are zero. Scratch that, maybe less than zero if it's possible.

Levi is an irresponsible kid who happens to have fathered a child. Rather than encourage Levi to consider his child's welfare, Vanity Fair whirls his limited brain with money and a shot of extending his 15 minutes in order to gain a little bit of completely incredible dirt on one of the most powerful name in politics. Never mind that no one will ever do this had that politician had a D after his/her name, all bets are off when it comes to Sarah Palin. Vanity Fair sells out it's a"journalistic soul" and any shred of integrity that could have been ascribed to it's name to slam Palin and to cash in on her fame with salacious headlines. That those headlines accuse her of cashing in on her own name, is evidently an irony that appears to have escaped them.

Levi: The Thing that Wouldn't Leave

Fresh from his Vanity Fair shoot (ugh) Levi Johnston walks the red carpet at "The Teen Choice Awards" with cougar date Kathy Griffin. Let's face it we're stuck with Levi now; he's not going to take himself out of the limelight anytime soon. Asked what it's like being Griffin's date for the show, he smiled, "I just, you know, look at her, shut up and do what I'm told."
I hope she tells him to go back to his igloo.
Obligatory video under the cut.
