Barack Obama Gives Wingnuts a New Pastor to Hate

Jim Newell · 04/29/11 02:30PM

Conservative pundits have been known to give President Obama crap for not going to church. It's part of why, if you're, say, Byron York, the president should only blame himself for the millions of morons who believe he's a Muslim. But when Obama does go to church, as he and his family did on Easter Sunday, he still ends up in a multi-pronged scandal. He didn't "do" Easter correctly.

Carl's Jr., the California-based fast food chain known for its provocative ads, is in the midst of rolling out a new promotional campaign. The crux of it: "Ugly [models] don't sell burgers." But Olivia Munn in a skimpy bikini—and straddling a Sea-Doo—apparently does.

The Washington Post Has a Donald Trump Problem

Washington D.C. will be in full "why the country hates us" mode this weekend, as reporters and pundits gather to mingle inappropriately with the politicians and operatives they cover at tomorrow's annual White House Correspondents Dinner.
