“I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics,” Governor Palin said.  “This was a degrading remark about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world.

“These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will.  By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them.  I hope President Obama’s comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community.”

Putin's poster girl: Pin-up politician who hates the West... but loves Thatcher

At only 24 she is already tipped to become a minister, and perhaps achieve her goal of ruling Russia. Happy to exploit her glamorous looks, Maria Sergeyeva has emerged seemingly from nowhere to become a leading propagandist for her hero, Vladimir Putin, her country's 'Iron Man' Prime Minister.

New York Post Chimp Cartoon by Sean Delonas

New York Post cartoonist Sean Delonas drew a cartoon showing two white cops shooting a champanzee to parodize the police’s shooting of Travis The Chimp in Connecticut and mock Washington's efforts to revive the economy. The chimp cartoon unexpectedly stirred the controversy, being accused of “at worst racist”.

At best insensitive to the victim of this week's mauling of a woman by a pet chimp, and at worst racist, the New York Post released a cartoon today [February 18] that could be interpreted as comparing Barack Obama to a chimpanzee.

As the Huffington Post says:

At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Others believe it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial. Perhaps that's what (cartoonist Sean) Delonas wanted.

“They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.” New York Post and Sean Delonas are stormed by the chimp “racist” cartoon.

Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping Boyfriend (Photo)

Elizabeth Wong ex-Boyfriend: Helmi Malik

Picture! Here is a photo of Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping former boyfriend, Mr. H! This Malay guy was alleged of having photographed and leaked Elizabeth Wong scandal photos. Mr. H, an UK-educated Malay intellect and PKR member, had an on-and-off relationship of three years with Wong, at one point, they even discussed a wedding. But it was said Mr. H had the domestic violence tendency. He once battered Elizabeth Wong and got her injured twice, which foresaw their breakup. In September, 2008, Wong finally parted away from Mr. H who later warned the former via a PKR senior that he had her nude photos and videos and wanted her to know how to keep the image as a public representative. After his personal investigation, the PKR senior found what Mr. H warned was not just a desperate claim and advised Elizabeth Wong to carefully handle her relationship with her ex-boyfriend.

Update: Mr. H’s identify was revealed. His name is called Helmi Malik. Elizabeth Wong once thanked him for his help after she was elected as a MEP in March 2008. She then wrote, "My special thanks to the following folks:- My family......my boyfriend Hilmi who has been incredibly patient and supportive;"

Helmi reportedly has fled to Indonesia. According to the report on the Chinese media in Malaysia, Helmi Malik photographed Elizabeth Wong without her permission in order to prevent the latter from breaking up with him.

Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping Photos Scandal Rocks Malaysia

Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping Photos Scandal--Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping, or simply Elizabeth Wong, a female politician in Malaysia, was hit by a nude photos scandal which were believed by many as a smeared campaign against this promising street-activist-turned state assemblywoman from Malaysia's most prosperous Selangor. The compromising pictures showing Elizabeth Wong in partial nudity and one even exposing her private parts were supposed to be photographed by a former boyfriend (Helmi Malik) without consent when she was sleeping.

The salacious side of Malaysian politics has once again been exposed after the circulation of nude pictures said to be that of Selangor state executive councillor and PKR politician Elizabeth Wong.
The photographs are believed to have been taken by a former boyfriend without her consent.
Copies of the photographs were sent to a number of newspapers last week, in what appears to be an orchestrated attempt to smear her image.

Elizabeth Wong: Nude photos scandal victim (Kwongwah.com.my)

Elizabeth Wong, 37, Executive Councillor for Tourism, Environment and Consumer Affairs in Selangor state, had lodged a police report. She issued a statement, claiming she was a victim of a malicious attack on her personality. Excerpts:

I was informed on Friday, Feb 13, 2009 by journalists from the Malay Mail that they have in their possession intimate photos of myself and that the newspaper will be publishing a story about these photographs.
I was told that some people are trying to distribute photos/videos showing me asleep in partial nudity and also in intimate positions.
The distribution and publication of these photos/video is a malicious attack on my personality. This constitutes a gross outrage on my modesty, a gross invasion of my privacy, and in particular the sanctity of my personal life. It is being done by unscrupulous persons to embarrass and discredit me?
I am a victim in this incident.I have yesterday lodged a police report in relation to this matter and I will fully cooperate with the police in their investigation. I will therefore not speculate publicly about those responsible for this gross invasion of my privacy.

In the statement, Elizabeth Wong said she is receiving a lot of support from her supporters, friends, colleagues and members of my constituency. In fact this is ture, almost all the comments left on the Elizabeth Wong nude photos scandal reports on various news outlets and blogs in Malaysia are flooding the sympathical and encouraging words for her.
Though Elizabeth Wong was called to relinquish all her posts by Khir Toyo, a controversial politician whose false accusation led to Teresa Kok, another top assemblywoman in Selangor detained by the police under Malaysia's infamous Internal Security Act, she refused to do so and said she would continue to serving the people of Selangor faithfully.

Khalid Ibrahim (pictured above), Selangor's Chief Minister, said he was confident that Elizabeth Wong, still would be a capable exco, apparently giving her the support.

“For the past 11 months she has carried out her duties diligently and I have full confidence that she will continue to perform her duties and responsibilities. Wong has a right to privacy in her personal life and should be respected by all. Her Exco colleagues and I will give her support during these trying times.”

Except Khir Toyo, some other politicians in the his alliance Barisan Nasional (BN) offered their sympathies for Elizabeth Wong:

De facto Parliament Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz appeared to distance BN from any involvement in the circulation of the photos, saying he hoped the Bukit Lanjan assemblyman would “find the strength to endure this and ignore it.”
“This should not happen because she is an elected representative and is doing her job as one. To bring her down through such method is not good,” he said.
Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai also condemned the circulation of the photos and video, saying that such “pornography” was not part of Malaysian culture.
Disclaiming any knowledge of whether it was politically motivated, he said that the leaking of the material was “not ethical and is an invasion of privacy.”
“However, if the picture is a revelation of her lifestyle, then it is not right for a leader to adopt such a lifestyle,” he added.
Puteri Umno chief Datuk Noraini Ahmad also said that while she has not seen the video, Wong’s privacy should be respected. “People should not do such a thing,” she said but added that elected representatives in the public sphere should be mindful of their conduct because they were now responsible to their constituents.

Head of Women Wing of Malaysia Chinese Association's, a BN component party, condemned circulation of Elizabeth Wong’s nude pix

MCA Wanita chief Datin Chew Mei Fun took to task the person or persons responsible for circulating nude pictures of her and said the act was an outright invasion of privacy of women as well as an exploitation of women for political use.
“We are outraged by such shameful acts of using women as sexual objects. It is an outright invasion of the privacy of women as well as an exploitation of women for political use,” she said in a statement here in the light Wong’s nude pictures, which are currently being circulated on Internet, allegedly by her spurned lover and some quarters trying to kill her off politically.
Chew said taking photographs of bodily parts without consent or knowledge is against the law and punishable under the Penal Code (Act 574) and publishing such pornographic materials in the public domain also constituted to a violation of the same Act.
“We would like to advise all women to be cautious. We also urge the government to strictly enforce implementation of the Act which provides for punitive measures so that it becomes a real deterrent against such detestable behaviour,” she added.

Update: Elizabeth Wong offered to resign as exco member and State Assemblyman for Bukit Lanjan in the interest of her party. She announced her decision in a press release in Kuala Lumpur Feb. 27, 2009 while breaking down to tears.

Elizabeth Wong: "I am not ashamed of my sexuality as a woman and as a single person." Picture: TheMalaysiaInsider.com

The events of the past two days have shown an insidious and underhanded attempt by certain quarters to smear my reputation. My personal life and privacy have been violated.

These people have conspired to undermine my credibility both as a Selangor State Exco Member as well as a Keadilan leader. Although the smear campaign directed towards me has caused me a lot of anguish, I am aware that the real objective is to discredit Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

I have done nothing wrong.

I wish to state that I am not ashamed of my sexuality as a woman and as a single person. I have broken no law. I stand by the fundamental principle in a democracy that everyone has a right to privacy.

Parti KeADILan Rakyat stands for ‘new’ politics that holds justice and human rights as core values which transcend gender, ethnicity and class. ‘New’ politics also means we rise above gutter politics.

It is precisely this that I believe that these attacks will continue with greater intensity, and I have no doubt that Umno and Barisan Nasional will continue to manipulate the situation. Accordingly, I have decided to make a stand, in the interest of the party and its struggle for the people.

I have received overwhelming support from my family, my constituents, Pakatan Rakyat colleagues, friends and the general public. However, in the interest of my party, I have decided to offer my resignation as a Selangor State Exco Member as well as the State Assemblywoman for Bukit Lanjan.

I will discuss with the Menteri Besar to arrange for the proper handover of my responsibilities. I will continue to serve the people and fight for justice in Malaysia.

Last but not least, I am very grateful to the people who have placed their trust in me and my party, and I thank them for the opportunity that they have given me to serve. Words cannot possibly express my eternal gratitude to outstanding staff members and fellow ADUNs, and most of all, my Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim who has given me his unwavering support and the opportunity to work with him.

If I have let anyone down or offended anyone, I offer my sincere apologies.

ELIZABETH WONG
ADUN BUKIT LANJAN
EXCO for Tourism, Consumer Affairs and the Environment

Update: Selangor Chief Minister Khalid Ibrahim confirmed that he had received Wong’s resignation letter and said he would seek guidance the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah’s views on Wong’s decision to resign. Khalid who praised Wong as an examplary Exco also said he granted Wong a leave and have a deserved rest.

Update: Annwar Ibrahim, Malaysia Parliament Opposition Leader and Parti Keadian Rakayat, said at a press conference that he wanted Elizabeth Wong to reconsider quit decision.

Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today asked embattled Selangor state executive councillor Elizabeth Wong to rethink her decision to quit following the circulation of her naked photographs.

“Elizabeth Wong has spoken at length to Azizah and me. We have discussed the issues and we understand her reasons and the decision she has taken,” said Anwar, referring to his wife Datin Seri Wan Azizah Ismail.

“We have asked Eli to go on leave, we will meet her again to discuss,” Anwar told reporters at a press conference here.

He described Wong as a very important figure in the Selangor government with an excellent track record.

“Eli is a very responsible leader, has been with the party since its inception and I appreciate the widespread support for her to stay. We will invite her again and see what is best,” said Anwar.

Update: "Scandolous" Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping photos found on an adult website, but we won't post the link here. If one believes there is of any problem for the picture below, what I want to assert is the only problem is the person who voyuered and photographed Elizabeth Wong.

Holy crap! UNMO-pro Agenda Daily posted pictures showing Elizabeth Wong standing "too intimate" by Khalid Ibrahim.

Stay strong, Elizabeth Wong Keat Ping! Want to show your support to Eli Wong? Feel free to leave comments below!

Rebecca Griffin, Mike Griffin's Wife Pleads for His NASA Administer Job

Scott "Doc" Horowitz, an ex-astronaut and former NASA associate administrator, petitioned at iPetitions.com to let President-elect Barack Obama not fire Mike Griffin as NASA's Chief Administrator in a new administration (after January 20, 2009). Apparently, Mike's wife Rebecca Griffin (pictured above), has spared no efforts to lend her hand, she sent family and friends emails titled "Campaign for Mike" to ask them to sign the petition.

(AP) --Late on Christmas Eve, one last wish was sent, by e-mail: Please let NASA Administrator Michael Griffin keep his job. It was from his wife. Rebecca Griffin, who works in marketing, sent her message with the subject line "Campaign for Mike" to friends and family. It asked them to sign an online petition to President-elect Barack Obama "to consider keeping Mike Griffin on as NASA Administrator."

She wrote, "Yes, once again I am embarrassing my husband by reaching out to our friends and 'imposing' on them.... And if this is inappropriate, I'm sorry."

It's too early to predict whether Barack Obama will keep Griffin's job or not, but some already were not so optimistic:

Efforts by those close to Griffin lobbying on his behalf are unusually bold, even for ego-heavy Washington. Past efforts on behalf of job hopefuls have been more behind-the-scenes so plausible deniability can be maintained.

"It sounds like the only thing left is to stencil Mike Griffin on the side of shuttle," joked Paul Light, a professor of public policy and a presidential transition expert at New York University. "I've never heard of a campaign to keep one's job that goes beyond the edge of private discussion. ... Maybe he should be texting next."

David Goldston, a former chief of staff for the House Science Committee and a lecturer on science policy at Harvard University, said, "This kind of public campaigning to keep a job is unusual and usually tends to backfire in new administrations."

Eehhh!

Caroline Kennedy 'You Know' Interview With New York Times Is Disastrous!

Barack Obama & Caroline Kennedy (Maggie's Madness)

Caroline Kennedy, the hopeful candidate for filling the senatorship vacancy left by future Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is probably to cost her nomination after a disastrous interview with New York Times. She repeated You Know with a whopping 142 times in talks with the newspaper, Telegraph is reporting.

When she first made it known that she wanted to be appointed to take over Mrs Clinton's seat, Miss Kennedy, 51, the daughter of the assassinated President John F. Kennedy, seemed a near certainty for the job.

But in the course of a few weeks she has alienated Governor David Paterson of New York, who has the sole power to make the appointment, and the American press, including the elite New York Times, which is a powerful influence on Democratic officials.

During an interview with the paper she stumbled badly, fuelling comparisons to Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, whose bid for the vice-presidency was blighted by a series of disastrous interviews with Katie Couric of CBS News.

Perhaps most damaging of all was her repeated use of the phrase "you know", which she uttered 142 times and was left in the transcript when it appeared in print.

Explaining why she would be a good Senator, she said: "So I think in many ways, you know, we want to have all kinds of different voices, you know, representing us, and I think what I bring to it is, you know, my experience as a mother, as a woman, as a lawyer, you know, I've been an education activist for the last six years here, and, you know, I've written seven books – two on the Constitution, two on American politics.

"So obviously, you know, we have different strengths and weaknesses."

God Bless! May Caroline Kennedy's PR staffs do her some favors in the future interviews!

Mark Felt Passed Away: 'Deep Throat' Mark Felt, 95, Died of Heart Failure

William Mark Felt, Sr. (August 17, 1913 – December 18, 2008) (Wikipedia)

Mark Felt, who kept his true identity for more than 30 years as a whistle-blower in Watergate scandal[wikipedia] that led President Nixon to step down, has passed away in California.  He was 95 years old.

From Washington Post:

W. Mark Felt Sr., the associate director of the FBI during the Watergate scandal who, better known as "Deep Throat," became the most famous anonymous source in American history, died yesterday [December 18]. He was 95.

Felt died at 12:45 p.m. at a hospice near his home in Santa Rosa, Calif.

According to Las Angeles Times, Rob Jones, one of Mark Felt's grandsons, said that his grandfather died of heart failure.

"He was an important person for the history of our nation, but also such a gem and such a treasure to our family. He was a great man." Felt's another grandson Nick Jones was quoted at New York Daily News.

Our condolences to Mr. Felt family and friends!

Arne Duncan, Barack Obama's Education Secretary

Arne Duncan, Chicago Public Schools CEO, has been picked as President-elect Barack Obama's Secretary of Education, NYT is reporting:

Arne Duncan, the Chicago schools superintendent known for taking tough steps to improve schools while maintaining respectful relations with teachers and their unions, is President-elect Barack Obama’s choice as secretary of education, Democratic officials said Monday.

Mr. Duncan, a 44-year-old Harvard graduate, has raised achievement in the nation’s third-largest school district and often faced the ticklish challenge of shuttering failing schools and replacing ineffective teachers, usually with improved results.

He represents a compromise choice in the debate that has divided Democrats in recent months over the proper course for public-school policy after the Bush years.

Duncan who usually plays basketball with Barack Obama visited Education Department in Washington and met with outgoing Secretary Margaret Spellings earlier in December. But at the time, he denied his Washington trip having anything to do with the possibility of being chosen to serve in President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet.

Bush Shoes Attack Video: Iraqi Man Throws Shoes At George W. Bush

President George Bush probably suffered the most embarrassing moment during his two-term presidency. Speaking with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki at a press conference, Bush whose term ends on January 20, 2008 was attacked by an angry Iraqi man/reporter who threw two of his shoes at President of USA:

During a press conference with the Iraqi prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, he [Bush] said the conflict had been necessary, adding: "The war is not over."

But his comments were clearly not to the liking of one person. "This is the end!" the man shouted, before hurling first one and then his other shoe at the American leader from a distance of about 12 feet.

Bush ducked as the first shoe flew close above his head, hitting the wall behind him. He ducked again to avoid the second shoe, as Iraqi security men pounced on the assailant - reported to be an Iraqi journalist - and dragged him screaming out of the room.

The US president appeared untroubled by the incident and later quipped: "All I can report is it is a size 10." But the disruption was clearly unwelcome on his fourth and final visit to Iraq.

It was also pregnant with symbolism. In the Arab world, throwing shoes at somebody is considered a serious insult, as is even showing them the soles of one's footwear, as demonstrated by jubilant Iraqis towards the statue of Saddam Hussein as it was toppled in Baghdad during the 2003 invasion. {Source: Guardian}

Iraqi Man Throwing Shoes At George Bush Pictures

Update: The shoes-hurling man is identified as Muntazer al-Zaidi, or Muntazer al-Zaider, a journalist of Cairo-based Iraqi TV station Al-Baghdadia. He is currently held in an undisclosed location by Iraqi authorities. Muntazer al-Zaidi may be thought as a terrorist by the authorities while he was hailed as a hero by many Arabia. In Iraq, now people are rallying for demand Mr. Muntazer's release.

Jason Sudeikis as Joe Biden on SNL Palin vs Biden October 4 "debate"

Below is a brief summary from Reuters:

The latest skit on Palin’s debate with Democratic rival Sen. Joe Biden poked fun at the Alaska governor for dodging specifics by repeating the Republican ticket’s “maverick” theme.

“We’re gonna ask ourselves what would a maverick do in this situation, and then ya’ know, we’ll do that,” Fey-as-Palin responded when pressed on how to deal with the financial crisis.

SNL’s Palin dismissed climate change as “this climate change, hoozie-what’s-it” and said she wanted to talk about taxes instead: “We are not afraid to get mavericky in there.”

The sharpest barb came when she was asked about benefits for same-sex couples: “I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers,” Palin replied, in a clear reference to her pregnant, teen-aged daughter who is due to marry the child’s father.

The SNL skit also ridiculed Biden, picking on his friendship with Republican candidate John McCain.

“Look, I love John McCain. He is one of my dearest friends. But at the same time, he’s also dangerously unbalanced … He’s bad at his job, and mentally unstable. As my mother would say, God love him, but he’s a raging maniac — and a dear, dear friend.”

Biden, played by Jason Sudeikis, said at the end that his goal was to not be seen like a “condescending, egomaniacal bully. And I’m gonna’ be honest. I think I nailed it.”

Cindy McCain did not confront with the two hosts on the show that day, but apparently, she did splash fierce disagreements against them one day after her appearance on The View, ABC's senior national correspondent Jake Tapper reported:

In a video recording of Cindy McCain at a Michigan fundraiser obtained by ABC News' deputy political director Karen Travers, the aspiring first lady says the American people's views and beliefs are not represented in newspapers and on TV shows such as "The View."

Mrs. McCain was speaking at the 119th annual Oakland County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner, Saturday night, one day after she and her husband, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., had a confrontation-filled visit to "The View," where co-host Joy Behar told McCain that two of his TV ads "are untrue, they're lies," and "View" founder and ABC News superstar Barbara Walters asked Cindy how many houses she and her husband own.

"In spite of what you see ... in the newspapers, and on shows like 'The View' -- I don't know if any of you saw 'The View' yesterday, they picked our bones clean -- in spite of what you see, that's not what the American people are saying and what they are believing," says Mrs. McCain, per ABC News' Arnab Datta. "They are now seeing a clear difference with these candidates, and they are seeing who is going to make the best president, and that's why we're pulling ahead."
