Politics: Reporters on hot mic: OMG SARAH PALIN IS SOOOO STUPID

  • The dumbness doesn’t just come from soundbites.
  • A quote from an anonymous reporter • Who was caught on a hot mic during Sarah Palin’s speech at California State University at Stanislaus. The speech, which was aired on a local Fox affiliate, was very controversial due to the fact that Palin got paid a hefty sum at a school which is struggling financially (as well as being where her rider leaked). But the comments, which aired on TV, kinda topped all that. source

World: Germany’s Angela Merkel is having another go as chancellor

  • We can really celebrate tonight, but afterwards we have a hard job ahead of us.
  • German Chancellor Angela Merkel • Who was elected to a second term on Sunday. Despite the win, things are a bit different this time around. Merkel’s CDU/CSU voting bloc lost a partner in the Social Democrats (SPD), who bombed hard in the election (thanks to the recession) and had their worst result in decades. Merkel’s bloc will likely work closely with the liberal Free Democrats (FDP). All that wheeling and dealing and economic recovery takes work. So no partying after tonight. We know you like your beer, Germany, but now isn’t the time. • source
