Obama on the Important Issues

From an ABC spokesperson:
"In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."


I think this trumps the Trump's as my favorite reaction to Kanye's VMA outburst:
"He couldn't care less about Beyonce. It was grandstanding to get attention."

...right. Unlike a real estate mogul spewing opinions on pop stars.

I apologize for the lack of posting. I've been busy doing things like working seven days a week and recovering from minor surgery. Now on with the show!



This has already hit Gawker, so it's obviously old news by now, but still too funny to not report:

A Conde Nast insider says the underpaid assistants now "have incentives to be good assistants because there is an assistant of the month prize of $500. I'm going to be the model assistant, lol. A couple of those and mama can buy herself a chanel bag or some loubs!"
