Post your nominations for this week’s What’s Hot/What’s Not. I’ll post the finalists on Sunday night…

36 Responses to “What’s Hot/What’s Not: Submissions…”

  1. NOT HOT – The woman that already has 6 kids and just had 8 more! And I might add.. LIVES WITH HER PARENTS!

    I don’t suppose tax payers are supporting that flock, eh?

  2. grandpadave Says:

    HOT – Rod Blagojevich media frenzy. (Thank God it’s over.)

    NOT – January numbers spin. (Everyone’s a winner!)

    Not Hot, The lack of media outrage regarding the non payment of taxes by Democrats Geithner and now Daschle. They broke the laws and get the following typical reporting in the MSM. “This is a bump in the road and is unlikely to hold up confirmation” (judge and jury in action) There is a lack of morality in the press. That morality promotes a double standard, if you’re a Democrat, it’s just an honest mistake, and if you’re a Republican it’s a culture of corruption worthy of tremendous outrage and full prosecution.
    If you have not noticed the virtual crime wave going on in the Democratic Party, the following Democrats have all allegedly broken the law, Dem. Sen. Chris Dodd, Dem. Congressman Charlie Rangel, Dem. Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Dem. Treasury sec. Tim Geithner, Dem. Hew Sec. Nominee Tom Daschle, Dem Mayor of Detroit, Dem Mayor of Hartford, and Dem. Mayor of Baltimore. In the few reports you see, you have to play name that party! When that foot tapper Larry Craig (R) had his problem the first two words in every story was Republican Sen. The double standard is absurd and points to a lack of morality and integrity in our worthless media.

    Terrance, the question is, did she pay for this herself or did our social welfare state encourage this behavior by picking up the tab. Like the laws of gravity certain facts are undeniable, one of those great truths in economics is if you subsidize something you get more of that something, if you tax something you get less of that something.

  4. HOT: Discussing Rush Limbaugh. Dems use him as attack targets, and every cable show decides to take up the rally cry, using out of context statements. The media never lets the truth get in the way of a good story, and this is a prime example. Look at the ridiculous amount of coverage this week.

  5. L&J – I have no idea whether “we” picked up the tab for her In vitro. But, how many single mothers living with their parents (w/six kids) don’t get welfare?

    This woman needs to be locked up in the loony bin.. And the doctor needs to be sent to a Supermax facility.

  6. libertyandjustice Says:

    NOT HOT, But Not Surprising. WH. Chief of staff Rahm Emanuel doing a DAILY 6 AM conference call with liberal MSM stars Stephanopoulos, Carville and Begala. I suppose they talk about their families and not the spin and propaganda message of the day. Pravda’s mouthpiece for the government was not this close and well connected. The individuals and the organizations, ABC news and CNN are not even embarrassed by this collusion. How can anyone trust what these people put on the air?

  7. libertyandjustice Says:

    Terrance, I don’t really care how many children she has, that’s her business and her liberty. However, I do care if some government organization paid for it. That’s insane! If the government did pay for it, we will never hear the facts in the MSM because it‘s contrary to the mantra that government must take care of everyone and that everything must be free. It’s a responsibility free society.

  8. libertyandjustice Says:

    Not Hot; The 800 Billion pork barrel no stimulus plan essentially repeals “welfare reform” by removing limits, restrictions and time tables on welfare aid to families. Here we go again, back to the days of subsidizing/encouraging /paying generation after generation to the horrible life of living on welfare and of course voting Democratic. The rot is starting to set in again.

  9. Oh yeah, L&J. Its the big bad MSM’s fault. (The same ones who reported this story in the first place.)

    Hasn’t it already been explained to you on multiple occasions that FNC is also in the MSM? Remember — THE #1 CABLE NEW CHANNEL!

    Hey, maybe if BO or Hannity stop wasting time talking about crap they could fit this into their schedule. Personally, I don’t think either of them has the courage to verbally attack this woman for being unwed.. or for freeloading.

  10. libertyandjustice Says:

    Terrance, Some people cant count, go back to BR posts that document the number of Liberal vs. Conservative news outlets. I think it’s at least 10 to 1 liberal. Just listen to the 3 evening broadcast news shows and tell me where you hear any balance or anything negative about the Democrats or Obama? They are cheerleaders for the DNC! I agree that FNC is conservative on the pundit shows but its straight news is straight news. I think that is part of the reason they are #1 but one channel does not make a mainstream.

    Again, I don’t think we should attack the women. I think the system that pays for this is insane and that system is supported by misguided liberals (unintended consequences)

  11. missy5537 Says:

    It’s the fault of the woman, for taking advantage of the taxpayers of California, and also the fault of our states, who may not overtly support these women, but do so via welfare payments to their many children.

    And it’s the fault of the woman’s mother, who knew her daughter was obsessed with having children. Stories I read indicate that SHE is fed up and will not be there for the daughter when she and the kids come home from the hospital. That’s nice, because the taxpayers of California will have to “be there” for her for the next 18 years.

    This story is just deplorable, especially since California (and the rest of our country) is in such dire economic condition. How much has it ALREADY cost the taxpayers – these future children were receiving pre-natal treatment since the ditz was three months pregnant. And they’ll continue to need taxpayer-funded treatment until the age of 18. With 46 medical personnel on hand at their birth, I’m sure the medical cost is in the tens of millions already.

    God only knows about her citizenship. Sounds like she’s either Iraqi or Mexican, and if so, shame on her for taking advantage of our country’s resources. And if she’s a U.S. citizen, shame on her even more, for abusing her own country’s largesse in this way.

    There is one bright spot to the story, however. This airhead was pursuing a master’s degree in counseling! How on earth could someone of her poor judgment possibly advise anyone else on ANYTHING? At least these 14 kids will hopefully occupy her time so that she will not have time to give poor counsel to anyone else.

    Sorry if I sound mean, but I fear her irresponsible actions will give others an idea as to how to cash in on mega welfare payments for the next 18 years. Seriously.

    And to tie this to cable news, let’s see how it is handled now that more is out about the circumstances.

  12. Missy is right on target!

    L&J – All the nets were pounding Obama about Wright & Ayers. (For what seemed like months on end.) Maybe most of them did give him a “free pass” compared to McCain and Hillary otherwise. However, you can’t discount the boatload of negative attention he received for these two stooges. (Whether or not you agree the “connection/friendship/whatever” was in bad judgment.)

    In other words, its almost as if you and the other haters completely suspended your “intake capabilities” during this time frame!

    Really though, I would like Obama and his lackeys held to the same scrutiny as past republican administrations. Oh wait. Does that mean we’ll be going to war on more phony intelligence?

    Finally, I sure hope the same press that let Bush get away with all that crap doesn’t do the same thing with Obama. However, I am willing to give the man a chance to prove himself.

  13. “Hey, maybe if BO or Hannity stop wasting time talking about crap they could fit this into their schedule.”

    Well O’Reilly did do a segment on this bizarre situation. Of course if you don’t watch, then you can make any claims you like about what O’Reilly does or doesn’t cover. Facts do tend to put limits on argumentation, but are generally considered preferable for informed opinions.

  14. libertyandjustice Says:

    Terrance, I don’t hate anyone and I wish you the best. Sorry you feel the need to lash out like that.
    I think I’m doing us all a favor pointing out the double standards and hypocrisy in the media. Yes, of course, sometimes the media reports the conservative POV and unflattering facts regarding Democrats but you even concede it’s not equal unbiased and transparent. I believe that the country is better served by reporting both sides of all issues with a kind of “equal justice under the law”. What’s not to agree with? What hate?

  15. Why am I not the least bit surprised Mr. $ shows up and cherry picks a quote?

    You left this part out, “Personally, I don’t think either of them has the courage to verbally attack this woman for being unwed.. or for freeloading.”

    So, did BO lash out at the woman like a republican who practices what they preach should? Wait. My guess is he didn’t say a bad word about her and you can’t “find” the video, eh?

  16. L&J – The “hate” is when you and a few others attack everything MSNBC/CNN or the dems do.. While basically ignoring FNC and republicans’ misdeeds.

    I don’t have a side of the aisle.. And do like reading your posts. However, you complain about “those people” so much.. I don’t know when your talking about something that I should take note of.. or if its just your usual anti-everything-not-on-FNC post.

    >I believe that the country is better served by reporting both sides of all issues with a kind of “equal justice under the law”. What’s not to agree with?

    AGREE!

    I think we need to boot everyone out of office that’s served more than one term.. and set a one term limit. I’m tired of all the perverts and crooks on both sides.

  17. gettingpwned Says:

    I really can’t be bothered to sift through the other BS in this thread… so pardon me if this was already posted:

    HOT: Glenn Beck’s #’s.
    Yes, it’s still relatively early. But those are some monster numbers for a 5pm slot on any cable net. Nothing has gotten those numbers at 5pm for… well, have they ever? Like him or not, he’s producing big #’s early on. But it’d be nice to see him vary his guests a little bit. Malkin’s been on more than a few times already. She’s a bit much for my tastes. But Beck is pretty good as an entertainer/host.

  18. libertyandjustice Says:

    “I think we need to boot everyone out of office that’s served more than one term.. and set a one term limit.”

    One or two terms ….Agreed

    “While basically ignoring FNC and republicans’ misdeeds.”

    I beg to differ, If the Republican screw up lke they did on spending, I’m for calling them out on it.

    Media bias is a Big Big problem, lots of proof and that’s a topic for this blog.

    Disagreeing with NBC and CNN is hardly hate. I call it holding them accountable.

    Missy, it’s starting to sound like the woman has psychological problems – kind of like those women (usually women) who keep accumulating more and more cats until they can’t take care of them all and the authorities have to be called. It’s a recognized disorder (‘cat hoarding’) – I wonder if there’s a similar ‘baby hoarding’ syndrome.

  20. “My guess is he didn’t say a bad word about her ”

    Well, that’s one way to judge a program. Don’t watch it and then guess about what was said.

    By the way, your guess is wrong. In fact he used the term “loon”. Does that sound familiar? Check out the comment above at 12:34.

    I’ll never understand why people are so invested in smearing someone that they’ll do it without knowing what they are talking about. But when it comes to attacking Fox, and O’Reilly, niceties like facts apparently are strictly optional.

  21. Thanks, Johnny Dollar!

    Only one problem. Did BO attack her for being unwed and freeloading? (And I still say that’s a NO.) Unless of course you have some proof.

  22. ” Unless of course you have some proof.”

    There is just something, well, surreal about somebody who didn’t see a broadcast and has zero idea of what was on it, nonetheless criticizing it, and then demanding “proof” from those who DID see it! That has sort of an Alice in Wonderland quality to it, no? I think this discussion has gone to about as ridiculous an extreme as can be expected, and that is way beyond the subject matter of Spud’s thread. Perhaps you’d like to continue it elsewhere, but I’ve corrected the record and will respect the intent of Spud’s topic.

  23. Agreed, Johnny Dollar.

    I post on a “HOT” or “NOT” thread and if people address me.. then I feel obligated to respond. However, if responding on this particular thread is out of line.. I’m sure the editor can let me know.

  24. Not Hot:
    Unflattering photo of J$ over at Newshounds in comment section. Interesting write-up on him too – and yes I believe every word of it.

  25. missy5537 Says:

    Barf alert re: the mom of the octuplets.

    I won’t post the link, because I don’t know how long it will take for Spud to review this. So just Google “octuplets” and “Oprah”. The Times Online (U.K.) has the story.

    If anyone guessed that the woman was planning on cashing in, you’re a winner!

  26. gettingpwned Says:

    lol at the J$ pics!

  27. Wow, how embarrassing. (Getting banned and your ISP called!) I feel sorry for Dollar now. And I haven’t even read through the 55+ comments yet.

  28. Great. Now terance, elmo & gp are joining the Newshound nutcases in attacking J$.

    He justifiably called them out on posting outrageous lies about O’Reilly, and they turn that into an attack on him.

    And like lemmings, you people lap it up. Great job out of you.

  29. Not hot: me.

    Sorry, man, but I completely never paid attention Lazarus rose from the dead and that your site (v 2.0) is back. I missed the old ICN, and became wrapped up in other things, but I am glad to see you back.

  30. gettingpwned Says:

    i’ve seen newshounds before. not impressed. all these sites that scrutinize every little thing that is wrong or incorrect obviously need to get real jobs. i’ve heard of olbermann watch, i’m sure there’s probably an oreilly one too. dont really care enough to read them. what they do is overkill. and thats an understatement.

  31. missy5537 Says:

    Eddiebear, glad to see you back!

  32. NOT Fox & Friends Weekend Edition. Fox News why not just air infomercials?

    HOT Glen Beck has had pretty good week.

  33. “Wow, how embarrassing. (Getting banned and your ISP called!) I feel sorry for Dollar now. And I haven’t even read through the 55+ comments yet.”

    BigRed – You call that an attack?

    Maybe I’ll start calling you BigWolf. Because you cry wolf all the time. If you want to see “attacks” read the comments over there.

    I don’t condone partisan sites on either side of the aisle. However, merely commenting on something (here) doesn’t make me a lemming or “joining in” with a bunch of partisan hacks on another site! Sheesh.

  34. I am confused with these comments.
    Is Spud monitoring this site?
    What happened to the original premise of “Hot” and “Not Hot”.
    I don’t mean to appear to be a school teacher wagging her finger at naughty students.
    Sorry, pals.

  35. Not Hot;

    Lack of Media howling about lack of FEMA in the Ice Storm in the South East with over 42 dead so far.

    Where is Obama….does he hate white people..?

    Has there been an impeachment site been set up yet…?

    Will there be a protest by Code Pink for NO MORE ICE, NO MORE ICE.

    We don’t want our sons dieing in Ice Storms…

  36. I was away but the damage has already been done so there’s no point in trying to get the milk back in the bottle now…
