Another Republican Governor Removes Painting of Poor People

Jim Newell · 06/07/11 01:46PM

Don't you just love this new batch of Republican governors? This may be the first crop to produce two governors who've pissed people off by removing paintings of the poor in their first months in office. First there was Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who took down a large labor mural because it gave businessmen the willies. Now our old pal from Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker, has removed a painting of poor, homeless, minority kids from his mansion, because he preferred some painting of an old bald eagle instead.

Brian Moylan · 06/07/11 01:41PM

After making a big stink about not hiring any servants, Prince William and Kate Cambridge (is that her name now?) have posted an ad looking for a housekeeper and a dresser.

Evan Bayh Sucks

Jim Newell · 06/07/11 12:23PM

Former Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh simply had to resign from Congress last year, as our polarized politics were preventing him from singlehandedly saving the world in his role as a mere public servant. "At this time," as he said in his powerful resignation speech, "I simply believe I can best contribute to society in another way: creating jobs by helping grow a business, helping guide an institution of higher learning, or helping run a worthy charitable endeavor." Got it? He would sacrifice his sizable political power to help America, by creating jobs, giving to charity, and advancing higher education.

Which Celeb Is an Awful Talk Show Guest?

Brian Moylan · 06/07/11 10:15AM

Before this lovely lady goes on talk shows, she needs to get a scolding from her publicist to be "proper." Some celebrities are using body doubles to fool the press about their extra-marital activities. Maybe they'll start sending proxies to appear on The View?
