“A nightstick the size of a telephone pole and the muscle to wield it effortlessly.” Sarah Palin: Rage Against the Machine - Vote Newt!

At 10:20 in, Romney thinks he's no longer being recorded and gradually flies off the handle in an off-air conversation with the host. Here you can see the true temper behind the corporate raiding "buyout baron." The link will open the video at exactly the right moment, no need to use the slider. I recall another freeper said he/she had a friend who worked for Mitt Romney once and said he was the meanest man she'd ever met. Please reply to confirm the details of that if the freeper who wrote that several weeks ago is reading this.

1. First off, what made you want to run for President in this election? Well, I was sincerely hoping that a better-known Democrat would enter the fray, a candidate of some national stature. My personal preference would have been former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, whose talents are largely being wasted in academia. We need him in Washington. I also believe that Rep. Dennis Kucinich would have been an articulate spokesman for the progressive values that so many Democrats hold near and dear, or possibly economist Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. Jeffrey D. Sachs...

Sunday, Jan. 8, 2012 Kim's eldest son dishes dirt in upcoming book Kyodo Kim Jong Nam, the late Kim Jong Il's eldest son, provides his own frank account of North Korea's "Dear Leader" in a book that will hit stores Jan. 20, including his reluctance to let any of his sons take power, an editor at publisher Bungei Shunju Co. said. The book by Yoji Gomi, a senior staff writer for the Tokyo Shimbun daily, is based on his extensive interviews with Kim Jong Nam and email exchanges between them, the editor said Friday. In an email in January after...

"If Germans were the tallest people in the world, how would you prove it?" That was the head-scratcher asked during a job interview for a product marketing post at Hewlett-Packard. Technology firms featured heavily in this year's list of the 25 most oddball questions compiled by the US employment website Glassdoor. Careers experts said the questions were intended to make a candidate display a thoughtful approach to problem-solving. As well as HP's brain-acher, interviewees at other companies were asked:

Robert Blake began his acting career at age 5 in MGM's Our Gang series and went on to appear as a powerful adult performer in leading and character roles.

A few weeks ago, Darcy was invited to appear as a guest on On Point with Shannon Ogden, a political talk program airing on ABC 25 and NBC 12 in Jacksonville, Fl.

Former VP Cheney spoke with CNN yesterday, re. his own personal experiences in dealing with him: _____________________________________________________________________ "The thing I remember about Newt, we came to Congress together at the same time, '78, and when Newt showed up, he said, 'We can become the majority. We can take back the House of Representatives,'" Cheney said on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront." He continued, "We hadn't had the House since the 1940s. And initially, none of us believed it- but he was persistent. And he was tenacious. He kept it up and kept it up and kept it up. And finally by '94,...

Obama: Not redistributing wealth (CBS News) In a "60 Minutes" interview with Steve Kroft, President Obama disputes the notion he is trying to redistribute wealth with his plans to treat the country's economic ills. He tells Kroft he's just attempting to deliver the "American Deal" of a strong middle class "where everybody is able to do their part and everybody's able to succeed." Kroft spoke to the president yesterday at the White House and Tuesday in Osawatomie, Kan., for a "60 Minutes" interview to be broadcast Sunday, Dec. 11 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT. In the interview, Kroft points out that...

Herman Cain attorney Lin Wood is a guest on "Piers Morgan Tonight" this evening, in an exclusive interview in the wake of the latest accusation aimed at his client. "What I find naive is the failure on the part of members of the media to be asking the tough questions of the accuser, someone who has, obviously a troubled past," Wood tells Piers Morgan. "Why don't you look at yourself, Piers, and the members of your media?"

In an exclusive interview Wednesday evening with The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas, GOP presidential front-runner Herman Cain talked about the political press corps’ rush to judgment. “That is the D.C. culture,” Cain said. “Guilty until proven innocent.” Cain also addressed his recent televised misstep on China’s nuclear program, Attorney General Eric Holder’s responsibility for “Operation Fast and Furious,” and the vast differences between campaigning in the nation’s capital and in the rest of the United States.

This is the final video of a special six segment series of me interviewing GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain. In this video, Herman lays out the case for his candidacy and tells me why he would be the strongest candidate. I am not planning to back any of the GOP contenders but want to help them all get their message out and then back the nominee in 2012.

A great steak isn’t the only thing U.S. Senate candidate Craig Miller knows how to “fire up,” if Friday’s crowd at the Boca Raton Republican Club was any indication. The former CEO of Ruth’s Chris steakhouse surprised a few guests when a speech about his humble beginnings as a dishwasher quickly led to strong words of advice to young people and protesters, who, Miller said, “believe their government has failed to take care of them.”

Terra Nova is about to get wilder. After experimenting with a couple stand-alone episodes, Fox’s dino-drama is taking a more serialized path for the rest of the season — solving key mysteries, introducing new dinos, and even killing off a character. (Don’t worry, we won’t say who.)

Columnists and reporters have been falling over themselves trying to analyze how the Occupy Wall Street protests compares to the tea party movement. But they’ve failed, says One Nation Back to God founder the Rev. C.L. Bryant, to treat both movements fairly. “It’s amazing to see that the ‘occupiers’ of Wall Street are basically white kids, and they’re dressed fairly well — there are some out there who are kinda scruffy — but I don’t see the media bringing up the fact that there are no black folks in it,” he said.

Herman Cain in New Interview: Abortion Should Not be Legal Washington, DC -- Herman Cain has given a new interview in which he explains his pro-life views on abortion and gives some insight as to why he made some "pro-choice" sounding comments in a CNN interview this week. http://www.lifenews.com/2011/10/21/herman-cain-in-new-interview-abortion-should-not-be-legal/

Shalit Interview ....jockeying for the rights to conduct the first interview with Gilad after he returned home. But they were all trumped by Egypt's state-controlled media – which conducted its own interview with Shalit, minutes after he was handed over to Egypt by his Hamas captors. Israeli officials are up in arms over that interview, with a government spokesperson saying that Israel had expressed its “shock” to the Egyptian government for forcing Gilad to go through what was clearly a very difficult experience. The interview was conducted by veteran Egyptian TV personality Shahira Amin on behalf of the government-owned Nile...

So, what happened to you in the early debates? Rick Perry: "A debate is an eight-ring circus, and you have a minute to talk. Sometimes it can be hard to explain your position on a host of issues. I readily admit I’m not the slickest politician nor the smoothest debater." Do you feel as if the other candidates have been ganging up on in the debates? RP: "When you come into the fray and you’re leading in the polls, you’re going to get attacked by everyone. I get it. I’m a big boy, and I know how to play that...

OK....we at our little radio program have been negotiating with the Cain people for a radio interview (Since BEFORE his stock skyrocketed)....we have questions from some small businesses in Oregon, but would like to widen the arena. If you are a small business owner, what ONE question would you ask Herman Cain?

They still called him Junior when we first met, in forlorn Midland, Texas, back in July 1986. He was known then for being the son of the vice president of the United States, the agonizingly named George Herbert Walker Bush. As a young staff writer at The Washington Post Magazine, I was trying to persuade Vice President Bush to let me spend several months with him for an in-depth profile I intended to write. But the veep was skeptical, and he left it up to Junior to pass judgment on me and my request. “Come on down and visit,” the...

http://www.mrctv.org/video/104680 And so it begins. When a candidate has a record of success to run on, what is left in the arsenal of a liberal? NBC is the first mainstream media outlet to falsify a racism claim against new presidential candidate Rick Perry of Texas. With the election 15 months away MSNBC’s Ed Schultz dedicated an entire segment to self satisfying and nonsensical political flatulence. The lesson for GOP hopeful, don’t use the word black in any context. Just imagine if Perry had claimed to give his opponent a black eye.

Just two months ago, she accused her mother of horrific abuse in an emotional outpouring on American TV. Her late mother, Susan Barrantes, regularly beat her, the Duchess of York alleged during her reality show Finding Sarah. 'When she used to hit me because I didn't sit on my potty or wouldn't eat, a little vein would come up on the centre of my head near my red hair,' she said, adding that her mother called it the 'sign of the devil' and would shout, 'I'm going to beat that devil out!'

George W Bush says his blank reaction to the first news of the Sept 11 attacks while US president was a conscious decision to project an aura of calm in a crisis. In a rare interview with the National Geographic Channel, Mr Bush reflected on what was going through his mind when he was informed that a second passenger jet had hit New York's World Trade Center. Mr Bush was visiting a Florida classroom at the time, and the incident - which was caught by television cameras - has often been used by critics to ridicule his apparently dazed response...

There are a couple questions that everyone dreads in an interview. "What is your greatest weakness?" "Where do you see yourself in five years?" and "Tell me about yourself." It's the default question (and the first) in most interviews, and to many candidates, it can feel like a trap. So we spoke with executive headhunters and career coaches about how best to answer this question. "They want to gauge how the person thinks," says Eileen Finn, president of executive search firm Eileen Finn & Associates in New York. Even though there is no one right answer, focusing on the past,...

When interviewing for a job, we all want to put our best foot forward, but sometimes we end up putting it in our mouths instead. Even though you may feel comfortable chatting and making small talk with your interviewer, it’s best to leave some things unsaid. We checked in with experts to find seven things you should never say during an interview. 1.) Don't Compliment the Interviewer's Appearance in Any Way. Don’t say: “I love your skirt!”. 2.) Don’t Cry. Don’t say: “It was the hardest thing I ever went through, and I still break down just thinking about it.”...

Today Pundit Press is proud to present interview number 35 in our ongoing interview series. Today we're happy to interview Michael Prell, the author of Underdogma. Mr. Prell has written what has been called "the first great Tea Party book." Pundit Press is going to run a review of the new book within the next several weeks. We want to thanks Mr. Prell again for his time and wish him continued success. Please consider purchasing the book! 1. When and why did you decide to write Underdogma?

Oprah Winfrey taped her first joint interview since 2006 with President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama last week. A major coup -- until President Obama announced Sunday that U.S. Navy Seals had killed Osama Bin Laden. "Trying to decide what to do about tomorrow's show with prez that was taped last week. Show will feel dated because we taped last week. Not even a hint of Osama's demise," Winfrey Tweeted Sunday night. In the end, the show aired uncut without Winfrey explaining the turn of events since it was taped last Wednesday. The phrase "previously recorded" flashed across the screen...

Is he a message control freak? See here and decide for yourself. Even Mediaite concedes Obama’s interview style is often so disciplined — and prone to filibuster on even the most basic questions... To be fair, it's hard to really tell how exactly things went down, because the video is heavily edited. Also, Presidents do have to have a firm grip on what they're trying to say. However, to the chagrin of the liberals who support him, Obama ain't God either. What he says can and should be challenged not matter how much of a local yokel the reporter...

President Barack Obama got into an annoyed confrontation with Texas's WFAA TV reporter Brad Watson after being asked serious questions for the length of an interview. At the end of the sit down, which included Mr. Watson interrupting Mr. Obama several times, the President took Mr. Watson to the side and said, "Let me finish my answers the next time we do an interview, all right?" WFAA, also known as News 8, is a television station out of Texas, a state that Mr. Obama lost in 2008. According to CNN, Watson was self-absorbed and more interested in himself. According to...

As candidate for CA governor, Ronald Reagan visited the Bob Grant show and took calls from listeners. It's amazing, how even then he could have easily beaten Obama and would make the current Republican candidates look very childish. Click Here to hear the entire interview.

You may have missed it, but this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) didn’t just play host to a myriad of presidential candidates, but to famed actor Richard Dreyfuss too. Dreyfuss didn’t have a speaking slot at the premier conservative gathering, but rather was milling around the conference with his friend Roger Simon of PJTV. Is the star of Jaws, Close Encounters, and W even a conservative? No, not in the least. In an impromptu interview with HUMAN EVENTS at CPAC, Dreyfuss strangely described his political leanings as “libo-conservo-rado-middle-of-the-road-o.” When asked how he felt being around so many right-of-center individuals,...

HPP is one of our favorite sites and we thank Dan for taking the time to answer our questions. Be sure to check out his site and bookmark! 1. When and why did you decide to start High Plains Pundit? We launched High Plains Pundit in the summer of 2008. I have been involved in the news business for several years and decided it was time to step out on my own.

If I were Bill Daley, the new White House chief of staff, my first act would be to surgically attach a teleprompter to Chairman Obama. It's pretty obvious that our Dear Leader is helpless without one, since he's almost as gaffe-prone as Joe Bite Me. Every time Obama goes off 'prompter, another FUBAR moment occurs. (Like getting outed as a socialist by a plumber, calling cops stupid, calling Republicans hostage takers, just to name a few public relations disasters.) I'd call the Failed Messiah an empty suit, but that would be unfair to empty suits the world over. (They might...

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly sat down for an interview with President Barack Obama in the White House before the start of the Super Bowl Sunday afternoon. The turmoil in Egypt and the recent decision against his signature health care law dominated the 14 minute interview. O’Reilly thanked the President for his role in protecting Fox News journalists who were attacked and beaten in Egypt. In calling for an "orderly transition" of power in Egypt, Obama said Egypt could not go "back to what it was". While telling O'Reilly that the U.S. cannot dictate what Egypt must do, the President...

“I’m ready to offer my services for ur project. Contact me at ur earliest convenience 2 arrange for interview. Thanks in advance for ur consideration.” That’s a real cover letter from a real person claiming to be a real professional, who thinks she can get a real job. The letter was fielded by publicist and trend-spotter Richard Laermer, who gets so many of these he collects them and, when asked, forwards them to reporters for fun. The letter “just made me shake my head till it nearly fell off.” But it isn’t rare. In fact, Laermer says, it’s typical. “Lazy...

When was AAIA founded and why? What is AAIA's goal? AAIA was founded in May, 2010 as a section 527 political organization. Our goal has been the platform for the American people to be heard.

I believe that many of the problems we currently have in the United States are rooted in illegal immigration: healthcare...

President Obama will sit down with Fox News host Bill O'Reilly in an interview set to air on Super Bowl Sunday. A Fox News spokeswoman confirmed reports that the president would sit down with the conservative pundit for a pre-game interview before the Super Bowl on the Fox broadcast network. The sit-down will be a moment of outreach between Obama and the network, which his administration has clashed with during the past two years over the network's coverage of the White House. It's also the second straight year Obama will use one of the most watched television events of the...

Like any other conservative running in 2010, Christine O'Donnell hopes that a November 2 victory signals the end of a damaging era in American Politics. For Christine; however, there is an added weight to the occasion. . .she would be the winner of an open race that could throw the Democrat's plans for a lame-duck counteroffensive into a tailspin. Christine is running for Vice President Joe Biden's open Senate seat in Delaware. Because Biden has vacated his term, her reign as Republican Senator would begin immediately on November 3 and the Senate make-up now at 59 Democrats, generally filibuster proof,...

Goldman Sachs has a notoriously difficult interview process. According to Glassdoor.com, interviewers are subjected to a number of tests including, a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check. Think you can handle it? See how well you answer this one, posed to an applicant in the first-year analyst program, the lowest level at Goldman Sachs.

Check out the interview with Dr. Bernard Frank, the SS officer who signed the paper that started the Nazi "Final Solution" against the Jews. Dr. Bernard Frank is the oldest living Nazi SS officer, a man who has gone unprosecuted for his crimes. During WWII, he signed the paper from Himmler that marked the beginning of the Nazi "Final Solution" against the Jews. In what appears as cold, clinical and with no show of remorse (in fact quite the contrary), Frank is led through his career by Mark Gould in an interview that spanned hundreds of hours. Gould, who portrays...

Ben Bernanke may or may not succeed in saving the economy, but at least he has the courage to try — and the honesty to tell the truth. The same cannot be said of our elected officials. Congress is buried under a crushing surplus of cynicism, while the White House seems paralyzed by a deficit of courage. An expert on the Great Depression, Bernanke is determined not to be the Federal Reserve chairman who allows the nation to plummet into Great Depression II. Since our political leaders can't be bothered to do what urgently needs to be done — stimulate...

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told CBS in an interview to be aired Sunday that he’s not ruling out purchasing more bonds to aid the U.S. economy, the network said in a release Friday. In an interview taped Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio, Bernanke defended the central bank’s program to buy $600 billion in U.S. Treasury notes, which was attacked by senior politicians in the U.S. and abroad. Top Republicans charge the bond purchases, due to end in June, could bring high inflation and may weaken the U.S. dollar excessively.
