NBC’s Early Today Bags on Sarah Palin for Calling David Letterman Pathetic As Letterman Calls Palin’s Daughter a Prostitute
From the David Letterman Show last night. David Letterman goes after Sarah Palin’s daughter, single mother 19 year old Bristol as a prostitute of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer or did he confuse Palin’s 14 year old daughter Willow who accompanied her mother on the New York trip?Flap awoke this morning to the Early Today show on NBC. Near the end of the program the young woman anchor launches into a tirade about Sarah Palin not being a good sport or being exempt from late night comedy parody. Then she mentioned the David Letterman Show and mentioned Letterman’s Top Ten Highlights of Sarah Palin’s Trip to New York bit by Letterman on Monday night.
As you recall in his routine, David Letterman denigrates Sarah Palin by listing the following top ten highlights:
10. Visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska
9. Laughed at all the crazy-looking foreigners enter the U.N..
8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray
7.Keyed Tina Fey’s car
6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack
5. Made coats out of New York city rat pelts
4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn’t tell the difference.
3. Finally met one of thise Jewish people Mel gibson’s always talking about
2. Bought makeup at Bloomingdale’s to update her “slutty flight attendant” look
1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman
Let’s see in the top ten list he calls Sarah Palin:
- A SLUT
- A Jew Hater or anti-Semite
- A dumbass/unintelligent woman
- Anti-immigrant
- A Yokel
Ok, Sarah Palin is a POL and can take the direct criticism and can take it like she did with Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live during the campaign last Fall. But, then Letterman goes after her daughter, Bristol or Willow.
Here is the bit about Letterman saying that Palin’s daughter, 19 year old Bristol, an unwed and single mother was “knocked up” by New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez. But, it was the 14 year old Willow Palin who accompanied her mother to the Yankees game.
Is there ANY wonder why Palin responded that David Letterman was “PATHETIC?”
Letterman’s routines go way out of the mainstream of comedy and are mean-spirited and hateful political diatribes. Do you hear anyone mentioning the fact that Letterman has his own BASTARD child?
NBC News, the Obama Channel, goes out of its way to bag on Palin for saying this in response?
Come on. Letterman was way out of line and Sarah Palin’s response was appropriate.
But, NBC News goes out of its way to portray Palin as a POL who cannot take the heat in the political kitchen. By the way, did I mention that NBC did NOT mention the Letterman parodies of Sarah Palin’s daughters?
NBC News, like David Letterman are both pretty “PATHETIC.”

Los Angeles Daily News to Mayor Antonio Villarigosa: Don’t Run for California Governor
And, KTLA television anchor/reporter Lu Parker, Telemundo television anchor Mirthala Salinas, and his ex-wife are NOT part of the rationale.Remember how Rudy Giuliani’s family life, including affairs have sunk his political aspirations? It is a whispering campaign behind the candidate’s back – but is always there. If Mayor Tony ignores this reality and does not deal with it, then put a fork in him – He’s done.
Read the editorial here.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: Political Decisions – NOT About Lu Parker
Screen Cap from KTLA Anchor/Reporter Lu Parker
So, does LU Parker agree – it is NOT about her?Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says reports this week that he’s dating another TV reporter will not be a factor in whether he decides to run for California governor.
The Democratic mayor said Wednesday the public has scant interest in his personal life.
He says his decision on entering the 2010 contest will depend only on whether he can best serve Californians.
The mayor is reportedly dating Lu Parker, a former Miss USA who works at KTLA-TV. Villaraigosa’s wife, Corina, filed for divorce in 2007 during his affair with another local newscaster, Mirthala Salinas. The divorce is pending, and he later split with Salinas.
Villaraigosa declined to comment about Parker.
When asked whether he was in love, he said, “I love life.”
Knowing what a PIG Mayor Tony has been over the years, means it probably doesn’t matter. Lu is one of many and two years later note the Los Angeles Mayor is still not divorced.
Mayor Villaraigosa is going nowhere in the California Governor’s race anyway. If Mirthala Salinas wasn’t enough to sink him in his infamous summer of love in 2007, then the latest Los Angeles Magazine Cover calling him a failure will be sufficient.
On the other hand, the two other probable candidates for the Democrat Governor’s nomination, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Jerry Brown have their own personal baggage, so you never know.
But, I am certain that Lu Parker won’t be around should Mayor Villar decide to take a 2010 political plunge.
Lu, have you scheduled that lunch with Mirthala yet?

KTLA Reporter Lu Parker Dating Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa – Does It Matter?
A screencap of KTLA Anchor/Reporter Lu Parker reporting last Sunday of Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa’s prospects for a 2010 run for California Governor
And, to whom?After all, KTLA anchor/reporter has been removed from the local political beat which according to some journalists was not so much in any case.
Not that this is much of a demand, as it seems Ms. Parker — a former Miss South Carolina, a former Miss USA, a former model, actress, “avid golfer” and amateur skeet-shooter has petty much spent all of her adult life recusing herself from reporting seriously on anything. I base this harsh judgment on her official station bio and not from any personal knowledge.
Let’s get real folks. She’s a great-looking, emmy-winning READER of news and I congratulate my friend the Mayor for his fine taste in fine-looking women. But what’s the big ethical issue here? I, for one, am absolutely confident that Ms. Parker has never done any real reporting on the Mayor and never will. She very well migh read or introduce the stories that others do on him, but that’s about it.
And, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was recently re-elected to another four year term, apparently will not run for California Governor next year and is getting divorced anyway.
Sounds like Mayor Villaraigosa is yesterday’s news.
The pattern is interesting. You know, the dark-haired, beauty queen, local news reporter, TV personality – just like the last one, Mirthala Salinas.
This entire matter is MOST important to Ms. Parker.
Lu, have that lunch with Mirthala.

KTLA Reporter Lu Parker Removed From Local Politics Beat – Dating Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
A screencap of KTLA Anchor/Reporter Lu Parker reporting last Sunday of Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa’s prospects for a 2010 run for California Governor
Continuing Deja Vu – All over again for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and a Los Angeles area television reporter.A Los Angeles television reporter is dating Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, about two years after his extramarital affair with another local newscaster led to the breakup of his 20-year marriage.
KTLA-TV Channel 5 reporter Lu Parker, a former Miss U.S.A., has been dating Villaraigosa since March, station officials confirmed Monday. On Sunday, while working as a weekend anchor, Parker announced a story about the likelihood of Villaraigosa running for governor in 2010.
“Now that we’re aware of the relationship, she will no longer be covering local politics,” said KTLA-TV news director Jason Ball, who defended the journalist’s ethics but declined to elaborate. “I have the utmost faith in Lu Parker’s abilities.”
You would think that Lu Parker would have learned from the lessons of Mirthala Salinas, no?
What do they say about love being blind?
By the way, Parker won’t have to worry about her boyfriend running for California Governor next year. The Mayor’s divorce is not final and he has not yet been sworn in for a second term as Los Angeles Mayor. Tony will allow his personal life to sort out and let Gavin Newsom and Jerry Brown beat themselves senseless next year in a contested California Democrat Party Primary election .

Another Television Reporter Girlfriend, Lu Parker, for Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa?
KTLA-TV Channel 5 anchor/reporter Lu Parker and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
Remember the summer of love of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Telemundo Channel 52 anchor/reporter Mirthala Salinas a couple of years ago?Well, it is Deja Vu all over again – now with Lu Parker and said Los Angeles Mayor Villar (except this time he is single).
Over the weekend, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was spotted perusing the merchandise in a Larchmont bookstore with a local television reporter who is also a former Miss USA.
Earlier today, NBC Channel 4’s L.A. news website posted a story about the sighting, including a snapshot of the two together inside Chevalier’s bookstore with the mayor casually dressed, wearing shades and having a laugh. The woman, Lu Parker of KTLA Channel 5, is a general assignment news reporter and weekend anchor for the station.
And that made it newsworthy, given that the mayor’s prior relationship with a different TV reporter coincided with the widely publicized breakup of his marriage.
“Witnesses say they did not hold hands or kiss, but appeared very chummy,†the NBC Channel 4 story said. “Parker was seen touching the mayor’s chest and stomach while they spoke. She was also seen looking at a book about Kenya and overheard saying to Villaraigosa, ‘We should buy it for our trip.’ “
And, Parker has already told her bosses at KTLA that she and the Mayor are dating.
Flap wonders if the Mayor’s new squeeze is the reason he seems disinterested in the 2010 California Governor’s race and recently passed on the California Democratic Party Convention, where he was conspicuous by his absence.
Mayor Villar appears to be busy.
Watch Lu Parker interview the Mayor on election night in November here.
Good luck Tony, you will probably need it, knowing your track record.

NBC Television SUCKS Except Elita Loresca
NBC News (KNBC – Los Angeles) Weather Girl Elita Loresca
Yeah, Flap is pissed because NBC cancelled one of his favorite shows: Medium.There is hope that Medium will be picked up by CBS.
But barring that NBC with Leftist Commentators over at MSNBC and Conan O’Brien taking over the Tonight show, the only redeeming reason to watch NBC is Elita.
Ok, I exaggerate. There is Poker After Dark and Leeann Tweeden.

Day By Day by Chris Muir May 17, 2009 – Bitch, Yet Still Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
Day By Day by Chris MuirThe LEFT is attempting to marginalize their opposition using the Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals. Look at some of the rules and apply them to modern day situations in the media and blogosphere.Alinsky provides a collection of rules to guide the process. But he emphasizes these rules must be translated into real-life tactics that are fluid and responsive to the situation at hand.
RULE 1: “Power is not only what I have, but what the enemy thinks I have.” Power is derived from two main sources — money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.(These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
RULE 2: “I never go outside the expertise of ‘my people’.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
(Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)RULE 3: “Whenever possible, I go outside the expertise of the enemy.” I look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
(This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, I send 30,000 letters. I can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.(This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.(Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? He wants to create anger and fear.)
RULE 6: “A good tactic is one ‘my people’ enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
(Radical activists, in this sense, are no different than any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t let it become old news.
(Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” I keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, I hit them from the flank with something new.
(Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
(Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)RULE 10: “If I push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to my side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
(Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” I never let the enemy score points because I’d be caught without a solution to the problem.
(Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” I cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. I go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
(This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”Do we see some interesting examples in our every day lives with the media LEFT, President Obama and the Congressional Democrats?
How about Keith Olbermann and the daily “Worst Person in the World Award?”
The Democrats demonizing first Karl rove, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Steele, then Dick Cheney, etc. etc.. A designated RIGHT hater of the week, so to speak.
Kind of falls into a strategy, don’t you think?
Now, how will the RIGHT fight back with a winning playbook of its own?
