Establishment Republicans To The Tea Party/Conservative Base: "Shut The Fuck Up And Vote For Romney!"

By



The rallying has begun. While some haven't picked a side yet, other more prominent figures in the GOP are telling the GOP base and the upstart Tea Party that Mitt Romney and his Bain experiences are off-limits. And may God help you if you are Newt Gingrich or Rick Perry, who see themselves as advocates for those two groups.

As Rachel states, this re-enactment of the 2008 GOP primary is also questioning the power of the Tea Party. They seemed to be formidable back in 2009, and according to the political pundits they were the force behind the GOP re-taking the House in 2010. But so far, they have had little-to-no influence on the GOP candidate, and some want it to stay that way. And if we learned anything about GOP politics since 2000, it's that when Rush and Fox News has spoken, the dissenters eventually fall in line.

As the months slog on, watch for talk that Romney is the most conservative Republican since Ronald Reagan to hit critical, while the Tea Party whines into obscurity.

We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie.

Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
