Greg Kelly—43-year-old Good Day New York anchor, former Fox News contributor, and son of NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly—has been accused of raping a younger woman in New York. The woman told the New York Times that the rape occurred in her office at a Manhattan law firm, after the pair had been drinking. The younger Kelly "strenuously denies any wrongdoing." To avoid conflicts, the NYPD turned the investigation over to the Manhattan District Attorney. Good Day New York is the morning news show of New York Fox affiliate Fox 5.

Jim Newell · 01/25/12 06:03PM
Newt Gingrich was campaigning on Florida's Space Coast today when he decided, fuck it, I'm pandering: "By the end of my second term we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American." Sure, why not. What about Mars? "Gingrich also said he would push to develop propulsion technology that would get man to Mars." He would merely "develop" the project. Such a cop-out.

Jim Newell · 01/25/12 03:55PMHouse Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has now hinted twice that she has some super lethal dirt on Newt Gingrich that would prevent him from ever becoming President of the United States.

But alas, she knows nothing beyond the infinite amount of dirt that's already in the public record.
