High School Musical star apologizes for nude pics

Who's Sorry Now?

Disney? Vanessa Hudgens? High School Musical Fans? Parents? Apparently, the sweet-faced Vanessa has made a big blunder - especially for the squeaky-clean Disney. She must be VERRRRy sorry now - especially if that lucrative High School Musical paycheck stops anytime soon!

Here's her apology:

Hudgens, who played the brainy Gabriella in the first two made-for-cable TV movies, told her fans she was sorry. "I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos," she said. "I am thankful for the support of my family and friends." Hudgens' publicist, Jill Fritzo, wouldn't say anything about who took the pictures and how they slipped out onto the Internet.

Cheney and the Real Dick(s) Behind the DC Madam List

Get a CLUE!

Have you been wondering why the ABC story on "naming names" wimped out? What kind of pressure did Disney and ABC receive to shut the fu@k up, and from whom? And remember the Duke Cunningham limo story, the CIA poker party story that featured both Porter Goss and Dusty Foggo? And are you wondering why Big Dick Cheney is war mongering at Iran again? Is he going to start a war to take our attention away from domestic stories AGAIN?!?

And now you may be wondering if any of this US Attorney stuff has something to do with old white guys on Viagra and prostitutes.... Well, here's a juicy version and a good read:
May 12-13, 2007 --

...The focus on the DC Hookergate story has now moved to Baltimore, and the firing by the Justice Department in December 2004 of the US Attorney for Maryland, Thomas DiBiagio. DiBiagio was fired, along with a number of other US attorneys, after George W. Bush's re-election for political reasons. One of DiBiagio's public corruption targets was the staff of then-Republican Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich, some of whom had engaged the services of Madam Palfrey's escorts. The US Attorney's office in Baltimore first became involved in the investigation of the prostitution ring after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office and IRS agent Troy Burrus in Baltimore made a criminal referral to the US Attorney's office in Baltimore. Subsequently, an asset seizure warrant for Palfrey's assets was issued. Palfrey and her employees used two telephones in Maryland for their escort business, 301 231-5800 in Rockville, near some of the "mansions" in Potomac, Maryland and Great Falls, Virginia described by "20/20" as the locations in DC where Pamela Martin escorts would pay calls, and 410 244-1818 in Baltimore.

After Ehrlich complained to then-Deputy Attorney General James Comey about the aggressiveness of DiBiagio, the Baltimore-based US Attorney was placed on the firing list in the wake of the 2004 election. David Margolis, an Associate Deputy Attorney General, claimed he did not know about any investigations of Ehrlich's staff by DiBiagio when he informed the number one Justice Department official in Baltimore that the Justice Department had lost confidence in his abilities.

Bloggers in Trouble

Who's Sorry Now?

Those of the blog-0-sphere may want to pay attention.

We followed and chose NOT to blog on the whole Michelle Malkin (one crazed woman, that's for sure! Whew! Wouldn't want to be her husband...) / AP Iraq source saga. M&M was even going to go to Iraq....don't know if she still plans to. Whatever, girl's batsh!t and who cares.

AP The Associated Press has just struck back very hard against the wingnuts who have been sliming the news org over the case of missing police captain Jamil Hussein -- and it looks as if there may soon be lots of crow-eating going on in right blogistan.

For weeks and weeks a pack of howling rightwing bloggers, led by Michelle Malkin, has been slamming the Associated Press over a story the news org ran some months back about six Sunnis burned alive by Shiite attackers.

Then there's Disney and Spocko and getting advertisers to pull their $$ - this one is interesting and worth watching. Disney forced the blog to cease and desist. Here's a cached link. Hey, wait, a blog is SHUT DOWN by Disney? Whoa.

MP The Walt Disney Company has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the blogger and media critic "Spocko," effectively closing down his Web site, Spocko's Brain, after the online muckraker instigated a letter-writing campaign that caused national advertisers including Visa and MasterCard to flee the Bay Area ABC-affiliate radio station KSFO.

KSFO features hard right-wing talk show hosts who endorse torture and mock the tortured, called for the public hangings of New York Times editor Bill Keller and other journalists, and demand that callers mock Islam. They also mock their own advertisers, calling Chevrolet "sh!tty" and recommending that Sears' Diehard battery be attached to an African-American's testicles.
