Whoopi Goldberg, Master Of Eloquent Political Analysis

· We don’t know how long that Whoopi Goldberg has been on The View —we suppose we could look it up, but it’s Monday night and we’re tired as shit— but nary a day goes by when we don’t think to ourselves, “How in tarnation is Whoopi qualified to be The View’s de facto leader?” The most recent evidence of her ineptitude involved her trenchant (and bipartisan!) insight that Barack Obama and John McCain have each “stuck their foot in the doo-doo and are walking around making dookie spots” in their dealings with the ol’ US of A’s cratering economy. Check please! [The View]
· Also on the election front: Sarah Palin is being encouraged to step aside from the presidential race by none other than leading conservative columnist Kathleen Parker. Who, we might add, is also a female. Try slapping a sexist tag on that! [National Review]
· Statler & Waldorf somehow snagged themselves an Op-Ed in today’s New York Times. Yes, the muppets. [NY Times]
· And lastly, for those of you who could give a rat’s arse about politics, we turn our attention back to the world of entertainment. Namely, exactly how much is Tina Fey worth? However much it is (hint: she’s made $US17 million in her career to date), we think she probably deserves more. [Portfolio]
