He's Back! Diddy's all Halloween-y - Sarah Palin "Scares Him"

CitizenSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 06:00:18 -0700

Diddy's back with a new video blog, and though it's not as long on nonsense as his last offering it's equally (and arguably) as short on substance. At least it's seasonally appropriate! Starring in his own horror movie, Diddy plays the clip of Katie and Sarah discussing newspapers, and Palin's reluctance to name a specific paper. The rest of the video is Diddy under the covers, in a not un-amusing homage to The Blair Witch Project, he cowers and says things like, "She's worse than the Boogeyman."

The meat of his argument seems to be, "You could become the president of the United States. Did you hear the answer to that question? John McCain is 72." Though he opts not to go further with specifics. Much like Palin opting not to reveal certain media titles by which to possibly present a bias? Similar, Diddy? His claim isn't without some basis in fact, 30 percent of all Vice Presidents have gone on to takeover the top spot - though it would have been a nice addition to his argument if he'd included it. Maybe in the extended director's cut.

His grand finale, "I'm not coming out the covers. It safe underneath the covers. . . if I stay underneath the covers, she won't become president," is punctuated with a "Sarah!" His heart might be in the right place it's allegedly about getting out the vote - but I'd love to know a little bit more about why he's so scared of Sarah Palin. He caps it with an appeal to register to vote and the deadline (which in some states is sooner than the 6th, so check for yourself.) Who do you think is scarier - Sarah - or Diddy?

Diddy Weighs in on the Choice of Gov. Palin: Good Argument?

CitizenSugar — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 11:15:14 -0700

Though he might be changing his tune given the news of today, Diddy has released his reaction to the choice of Gov. Sarah Palin to be McCain's running mate. Diddy says, "No disrespect, I love you, I want you to live to be 110. . . Alaska? Alaska? Alaska. Al- come on man. I don't even know if there's any black people in Alaska." Well Diddy, the Census knows. Though black people might not be the most prominent minority population, about 30 percent of Alaska isn't white, whereas only 20 percent of the whole US isn't (at 70.7 percent and 80.1 percent white populations respectively.)

Math notwithstanding, he continues. The thesis statement of his argument appears to be, "John McCain is bugging the F*&% out." He repeats it as the core to his philosophy no less than six times. Then he delivers his assessment on Gov. Palin. "Like the lady is nice. She's cool. She's a heartbeat away. Then she the president. She goin' be on the phone with some man from South Korea or like, wha' she? I mean? What in the hell? Alaska?"

He continues with this argument: "This one right here is not respectful to our lives, diverse lives, anybod- yo. You would let her keep your kids?" Which I think means, would you trust her to babysit?

In the waning moments of his argument he delivers my favorite part: "Alaska mother f*&#@*r? What is the reality in Alaska? There's not even no crackheads in Alaska. There's not. . . not even no black people. . . there's not even no like crime. . . or foreign policies. Concluding, "We the future," and reiterating his colorful thesis statement.

What is the world coming to these days? This kid turns sixteen and his dad drops over a million bucks to throw the blingest bash in town: red carpet, Diddy, Kanye West, a new set of wheels, a personal chauffeur--the works. Wait until the end of the clip when the kid opens his mouth to say ~~thank you~~ how great he is. Sheesh!

Say It, Don't Spray It, Diddy.

Diddy emerges as the newest and most unlikely spokesperson for the Proactiv skincare line. He claims to have been a user for a while now- and yes, I'm using the word "user" loosely because a topical acne treatment is not the only thing he seems to have in his system.

Who Is Your Favorite Celebrity Campaigner?

The 2008 presidential campaign inspired a year of political expression and celebrities were no exception. Will.i.am remixed Barack Obama's landmark speech and spoke out at the DNC, Diddy said Sarah Palin "scares him" and Matt Damon called her VP nom a "bad Disney movie." Scarlett Johansson upped the Obama love by saying she was engaged to him. Meanwhile celebs like Heidi and Spencer, Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, and Halle Berry showed support through quieter efforts and political t-shirts. On the small screen, Oprah kept her endorsement off air until after the election, but celebrated with a special tear-filled show and The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck campaigned for McCain and Palin, calling the pricey wardrobe scandal "sexist."

Laura Ingraham at the Republican National Coalition for Life

CitizenSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 06:00:49 -0700

Yesterday I was in the presence of the "Life of the Party" - not Diddy or Lohan, it was the name of the convention event for the Republican National Coalition for Life. Expecting keynote speaker Sarah Palin, who'd been booked long prior to her ticket selection (Right to Life has its finger on the pulse?) the group sampled the ham carving station, bopped to the oompah-oompah band, and made short work of the notion that Sarah Palin's recent announcement that her daughter is pregnant has anything to do with her fitness to be Vice President. This group is fiercely Right to Palin, all the way.

According to my tablemates, the choice of Palin has galvanized the party in a way no other choice would have. That notion was solidified by the line up of speakers which included legendary ERA opponent Phyllis Schlafly (who at 80-something looks incredible. She sat on the edge of the stage before the event, graciously taking pictures with everyone and couldn't have been nicer.)

Phyllis announced that Palin wasn't able to attend, but that she had a surprise replacement: Laura Ingraham. Ingraham commanded the stage and made a pointed case for Palin to the cheers of the crowd. To see what she said, read more.

In regard to the notion that Palin isn't popular, Ingraham said, "The people who know her best, give her an 80 to 90 percent approval rating on a regular basis."

And she furiously went after the recent media coverage of Palin saying,

You think a certain way, because the people who have all these stamps on their passports who are so much smarter than we are, if you believe those things. . . what we see now is all these journalists, and all these people on the left - boosters of the Obama campaign - which is pretty much everyone at MSNBC. . . they're all for equal rights for women aren't they? Women who weren't aborted. They're for women's empowerment, and for women succeeding in men's professions. Oh, really? Then why, oh why, are you treating this woman, Sarah Palin, like dirt?

She concluded to the roaring crowd, "If Sarah Palin were pro-choice, there would be no articles on the front page of the New York Times. . . There's no bigger threat to the elites in this country than a woman who's strong and who knows her conservative convictions."

Not everyone in the room was in favor of the message - see what happened when a Code Pink protester took the stage with the legendary Phyllis Schlafly. Watch two seconds into the video as tiny dynamo Phyllis slams down the mic so the woman can't be heard. Everyone around me yesterday dug that move. The crowd then burst into spontaneous song, "God Bless America," while the protester was swiftly dispatched.

After the second group of protesters hit later on in the program Phyllis said, "Well! They don't have an argument so they just have to make a scene."

What do you make of Laura and Phyllis' arguments?

Chick Drama!

P. Diddy's challenge is to "round up the ultimate all-chick super group"...but if they end up anything like these chicks, then Diddy better be down for some drama! Thanks, Justjaime27, for the find!

Do Celebs Influence Your Politics?

CitizenSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 11:30:18 -0800

We're not the only ones with vote fever today! Even Diddy is out spreading his political message. Celebs from Robert DeNiro to Garrison Keillor are also declaring their support for candidates this week. And of course who can forget Oprah for Obama, Chuck Norris for Huckabee, and Stallone for McCain? But here's the question: Does the opinion of the famous influence your vote?

Interestingly, according to a recent survey in US Weekly, 90 percent of respondents said "no!" All of the Oprahs and Chuck Norrises in the world don't matter a lick once the voting booth curtain is closed. What about you?
