In this day and age of crisis management, no control P.R., blah blah blah, how the hell is The Donald going to be able to get away with such egregious sexism, chauvism, anti-gay remarks etc.
I saw him on Larry King Live and I'm a little surprised by such alleged respected journalists (not such if that's being fair to journalists) lack of backbone in terms of calling him out for his ridiculous remarks.
This is Michael Richards territory.

Joseph:
I tend to agree with you on many (read most) things. This one I have to say I only partly agree.
I think it's a bit short sighted to blast Trump for things he said while giving Rosie a pass. She brought this on herself by attacking him first. Were his words harsh, yes. But, she also has been attacking him, but not being called on it as well.
One thing I agree with is that he obviously wasn't thinking PR on the things he said. While I didn't get the impression that he was attacking her homosexuality..he didn't speak poorly of her girlfriend, in my opinion. He was rough on her as a person, but this does present an interesting view from a marketing/PR standpoint. This is transparency. He wasn't filtered by PR speak, he said what he thought. We talk about transparency, talk about honesty, that's what he did.
I think the real issue here, and he alluded to it, is that the world has bigger issues to deal with than these two knuckleheads fighting in the press. It's time we focus on something that matters.
Have a great Christmas and New Year's!

I agree with you Jeff. A friend of mine sent me links to the video clips arguements btwn Rosie and Donald. I don't like either one, however, Rosie was right. I don't think she attacked him. She just spoke the truth. He filed Trump Hotels/Casino for bankruptcy twice, hurting some while protecting himself. He cheated on his wives. He doesn't have a stand on morality.
But, you're right Jeff. These are alleged journalists who seem to have nothing better to report on than this petty arguement and whether Trump would give Ms America a "second chance". That's why I read and view the "news" less over time.
Happy Holidays and thanks for the blog. I saw the pics of Crayonville last night. Interesting pics on the roof.

It's easier to take The Donald if, when you watch him, you keep reminding yourself: He's speaking from his anus.

I think it was brilliant by Trump and I wonder if he is paying Rossie? Is any one talking about Miss USA or are they talking about Rossie V Donald?
I bet you half the people don't even remember why the whole spat started and are only interested in what these two are going to say next.
