I wouldn't call her a hypocrite. I think, uhh, she's not the one who got pregnant. Her daughter is her own person. I just think that, uhh, Sarah and a lot of other people misguided in terms of some very serious issues. Uhh, I don't think she is in any manner, shape, or form suited to be the vice president of the United States. And particularly not suited to be the vice president of a president who is in his 70s. And, you know, a heartbeat away from the presidency. She's clearly not qualified.

And Barack Obama, with his thin resume, is qualified to be president? The next question put to Hef is almost inevitable: "Is it true you want Sarah Palin to pose for Playboy?"
Press and media are continually, you know, in the middle of other interview questions saying, "Would you like so-and-so to pose?" And what's the answer to that? If it's a celebrity of any kind the answer is, "No, I wouldn't want Sarah Palin." Of course! And then that winds up being thought of as actual news. And of course that's not news at all. Silly stuff.
I think we could pass on Hugh Hefner's political opinions but one question I would have liked to have seen asked is why do the Playboy Playmates in recent years look so artificial since most of them appear to be like department store mannequins with interchangeable bodies? Now that is a question more in line with Hef's expertise, not inquiries about politics.
Oh, and now that promised video of Playmate Kendra answering a really tough question.

Or some other loony... oh just shut up old man and wipe that drool off your face. At least the Hollywood loons actually came out an tried to influence voters before election day.
Uncle Senile here could not even manage that.

There's that liberal definitive again: "clearly."

November 19, 2008 - 09:31 ET by celatorAt the end of the day, I agree that these once fairly unique phrases have lost their former power. I personally don't use them at this moment in time. With all due respect, I absolutely won't use them again. It's a nightmare when one hears them used constantly. Oxford shouldn't of waited so long to list these irritating phrases which we now hear 24/7, for goodness sakes! It's not rocket science, is it?
There, that felt good. :+}

November 19, 2008 - 07:57 ET by jackie3I'm not sure which is more sad: Hefner being asked to give a political opinion or the media that thought his opinion was actually "news."
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

November 19, 2008 - 10:27 ET by IamTinmanThis whole democrat campaign has not been about issues or change, but about celebrities and personalities. Hefner is a pitiful example.

I think Mr. Hefner has little call to speak on other people being "misguided in terms of some very serious issues".
Still, he was probably more fair in regards to the preganancy of Palin's daughter than the MSM was.

Interesting you should want to ask that question. Have you been doing some thorough... research, P.J.? Hmmm?
Very thorough research.

November 19, 2008 - 10:04 ET by ForeverOnTheRightYahoo, he has more to worry about the "marble orchard." Like what section of eternity he is going to have his reservations, smoking or non-smoking. (Hell or Heaven) If he dies without the Way The Truth and the Life in his life, then people have a REAL reason to morn his passing.
BTW I have never heard of the cemetery referred to as the Marble Orchard.

Yeah, Playboy never has featured any celebrities. Must be Viagra-induced dementia.
