Liz Smith: Tom Hanks – Humbled by Honors
I loved "Bosom Buddies." It was a great, funny show. One of the last with an original concept and not some derivative of a BBC britcom.
Candice Bergen Is 'Happily Unemployed'
Mary Wells: 'Change the Road You're On'
I was just laid off today, in fact, as part of a "strategic" reduction in force. I was with one organization for 20 years but had several different jobs within. The job I was laid off from was writing for a magazine. Considering the economy I even came away with a good severance package. But I have no idea what I will do next. I don’t know what my dream career is.
I know I could really use some help in figuring that out.
Michelle Obama: 100 Days of Style and Substance
First Lady Michelle Obama has wasted no time with several awe-inspiring achievements.
A little breathless there, don’t you think? If it’s "awe-inspiring" it’s only because her predecessor did so little.
Obama Ignores Tea Parties at His Peril, by Liz Peek
"Curiously, the media — and the White House — treated this outpouring of anger as insignificant."
As they should. Those teaparties were as spontaneous as a bar mitzvah. Get with the game, Liz.
Was Hillary Going to Divorce Bill? Yes, the <i>National Enquirer</i> Says
And, if you ask us, whatever happens behind the Clinton’s closed doors should be their business. Hasn’t the world heard enough about their personal life?
Then why did you run this at all?

Ashley Biden, the VP's Daughter, in Cocaine Scandal (Update)
Wait a sec. There’s no proof it is Ashley Biden, only someone that looks like her. So why are you treating this as a definitive identification?
If it turns out not to have been Ashley Biden, will you be issuing an equally public apology?
Chris Dodd Takes Heat for Treasury's Bonus Snafu
<i>Given the fact that AIG was also a campaign contributor, it’s also emboldening critics.</i>
AIG was a big contributor to Obama too.
Report: Pelosi Uses Military Planes Like Private Jet
Thank you.
# As already noted, the Speaker is second in line to the presidency
# The policy of providing the Speaker of the House with an Air Force airplane (when available) began after 9/11 by the Bush Administration for Dennis Hastert.
# When Pelosi took over, the House Sergeant at Arms (responsible for Member security) requested a plane large enough to reach her district non-stop (Hastert was from Illinois)
# The DoD makes the final decision
# The House employee listed by Judicial Watch doesn’t even work on Pelosi’s staff…they work for House Interparliamentary Affairs.
The report from Judicial Watch was recycled by Fox and Drudge and the fact that this item sources Michelle "Moonbat" Malkin is yet another reason to discount it. Next phony controversy please.
Sanjay Gupta Pulls Out From Surgeon General Nomination
No, not Howard Dean. I think the world of him but not for Surgeon General. Surgeon General is a public health job and Dean is into public policy. You don’t get to make public policy as Surgeon General. Besides, he’s just started a consulting gig, he’s signed up with a speaker’s bureau and has a bunch of other irons in the fire that I doubt he’d want to leave to take the Surgeon General job.

Liz Smith: David Remnick's Thoughts on the News Biz
"Guard us in a democracy"? Fred Hiatt at the Washington Post still defends the Bush’s Administration’s illegal war in Iraq. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported in the NYTimes that Newt Gingrich "sees the stimulus bill as his party’s ticket to a revival in 2010, as Republicans decry what they see as pork-barrel spending for projects like marsh-mouse preservation." However, Stolberg did not note that the oft-repeated Republican claim is false.
If newspapers actually did their jobs and really did guard us then we wouldn’t need watchdogs like Media Matters (mediamatters.org).
