Just when Arnold Schwarzenegger thought he had enough troubles with his wife Maria Shriver and his family when he finally admitted to having a baby with another woman while married to maria, comes the following new set of problems …

As reported at Radaronline, the Californian Attorney General is supposed to conduct an  “inquiry” into former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s over alleged misuse of tax payer funds to cover up sexual liaisons. Just recently Schwarzenegger admitted to an affair and having a baby with another woman while married to Maria Shriver. Now it appears that the California AG wants to see whether Arnold might have used any tax payer $’s to hush up and a cover up his marital indiscretions.

The Californian Attorney General will conduct what’s being termed an “inquiry” into former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s alleged misuse of tax payer funds to cover up sexual liaisons.

In a bombshell exclusive, RadarOnline.com has learned the Office of the Attorney General, a branch of the Department of Justice, is conducting a preliminary evaluation into the scope of Schwarzenegger’s double life, which allegedly included using his state-funded security details to cover up women being escorted into his hotel room.

It is being alleged, that Arnold Schwarzenegger used at least some of his California Highway Patrol security detail to transport “scantily-clad” women in and out of the Sacramento hotel he sometimes stayed in while governor.

US District Court Judge Larry A. Burns Ruled Jared Lee Loughner Mentally Incompetent to Stand Trial in Tuscan Massacre (Death of 6 Wounding 12 including Gabby Giffords)

CRAZY!!!

Jared Lee Loughner, the man responsible for the Tuscan massacre has been found  to incompetent to stand trial by District Court Judge Larry A. Burns. In other words, this guy is out of his mind and has major mental illness that leaves him so delusional and psychotic. One has to wonder how Jared Lee Laughner was walking the streets prior to the mass murder shooting that left six dead and US Rep. Gabby Giffords critically wounded from gun shot to the head.

Jared Lee Loughner’s “major mental illness” leaves him so delusional and psychotic that he is incompetent to stand trial, a federal judge ruled today.

U.S. District Court Judge Larry A. Burns viewed hours of videotape of Loughner, he said, and agreed with the conclusion of the psychiatrist and psychologist who evaluated him: Loughner can’t understand the court proceedings or help his lawyers.

“The defendant was generally unable to provide rational and coherent thoughts,” Burns said.

CNBC Anchor Mark Haines, Founder of Squawk Box, Dead at the Age of 65

REST IN PEACE MARK HAINES

How very sad, CNBC anchor Mark Haines passed away Tuesday at the age of 65. Haines was the founding anchor of CNBC’s morning show “Squawk Box,” was co-anchor of the network’s “Squawk on the Street.” CNBC’s president Mark Hoffman called Haines a “building block” of the financial networks’ programming.

I have been watching since the early 90′s and there was not a day that went by that I did not watch Mark Haines in the morning on Squawk Box. As stated at the Daily Caller, what made Mark Haines so unique and appreciated was that he asked that questions  that us regular folks asked, not the over educated and massive ego intellectuals did. Mark was one of us. Today, there was actually a moment of silence on the floor of the NY Stock Exchange in memory of Mark Haines.

CNBC President Mark Hoffman called Haines a “building block” of the financial network’s programming. Hoffman said Haines died at his home.

“With his searing wit, profound insight and piercing interview style, he was a constant and trusted presence in business news for more than 20 years,” Hoffman said in a statement to CNBC employees. “From the dotcom bubble to the tragic events of 9/11 to the depths of the financial crisis, Mark was always the unflappable pro.

“Mark loved CNBC and we loved him back. He will be deeply missed.”

Mark Haines was a master of mixing economic information and humor and providing unbiased numbers in a stock trading environment that all too often had an agenda.

Haines was well-known around the newsroom for giving his colleagues on-air nicknames. He was responsible for calling David Faber “The Brain,” Joe Kernen “The Kahuna” and Steve Liesman “The Professor.” If a colleague ever complained about it, he would respond, “What’s worth more, your name or the nickname?”

At such an uncertain economic time where jobs are needed to get the United States back on track, a voice like Mark Haines will most surely be missed. Who can forget the tearful good by of Mark Haines to CNBC’s co-host Erin Burnett. Now we say goodbye to Mark.

RUT-ROH, DOJ Green-Lights Campaign Violation Indictments Against Former NC Democrat Senator & Presidential Candidate John Edwards

From Love Child to Indictment … John Edwards is about to find out what it means to live in that other America he used to refer to.

It just got worse for disgraced former US Senator John Edwards (D-NC) and Presidential candidate finds himself in a world of hurt today. Edwards thought that his “baby daddy” affair was a headache, now he is facing potential indictments …

ABC News is reported that the United States Department of Justice green-lighted the prosecution of John Edwards for alleged violations of campaign laws. All this occurred as John Edwards was trying  to cover up an extra-marital affair with Rielle Hunter.  Oh what a tangled web Edwards’ weaves, when he practices to deceive.

The United States Department of Justice has green-lighted the prosecution of former presidential candidate John Edwards for alleged violations of campaign laws while he tried to cover up an extra-marital affair, ABC News has learned.

A source close to the case said Edwards is aware that the government intends to seek an indictment and that the former senator from North Carolina is now considering his limited options. He could accept a plea bargain with prosecutors or face a potentially costly trial.

As stated by Hot Air, it looks like Edwards is about to face Two America’s … “the one inside a courtroom, and the one outside of it”. The Gateway Pundit reminds us that the National Enquirer sometimes nails the story 100%.

Casey Anthony Defense Attorney Jose Baez Accused George & Lee Anthony of Sexual Abuse of Casey … Caylee Accidental Drowning

Sexual molestation and it was all just an accident …

Day one of the Casey Anthony murder trial started yesterday and it was not without some “expected” bombshells.However, that was not before Prosecutor Linda Drane-Burdick began opening statements and did a masterful job of providing the jury with a phenomenal time line of events and actions of Casey Anthony and the 31 days that Caylee was missing where the tot mom appeared to care less that her child was no where to be found. Linda Drane-Burdick went through the continual lies of the defendant where Casey’s entire life was nothing more than a fictitious illusion.

Pic: My Fox Orlando video feed: Linda Drane-Burdick Opening Statement

Drane-Burdick asked jurors, between descriptions of how Casey spent her days shopping, visiting friends and hanging out with her boyfriend with no signs of her daughter, “Where is Caylee Marie Anthony?”

The prosecutor described Casey’s appearance as a hardworking single mother as an illusion.

She also described Internet searches conducted on a computer at Casey Anthony’s home that showed queries for chloroform, neck-breaking and alcohol.

“Casey Anthony … appeared to be … a loving mother, trying to provide support for her daughter,” Drane-Burdick said. “But as the evidence in this case will show, that was an illusion.”

For months it has been rumored that the defense team for Casey Anthony was going to throw George Anthony under the bus and make rather unpleasant accusations regarding Casey’s dad. Attorney Jose Baez did not disappoint, or did he? It is actually hard to believe after nearly three years of preparation this is all that Jose Baez had to hang his hat on and more importantly his client. However, when one has nothing, what can one expect?

During his opening statements, Jose Baez laid out a story that 2 year old Caylee Anthony was not murdered, but instead was the victim of an accidental drowning accident.  Jose Baez’s opting statement came in like a Lion and out like a Lamb. Or was it just in like a “lying”? Baez actually talked himself in and out of the sale. At one point he provided a plausible scenario and then it all went into fantasy land. Baez lead the jury right up to the supposed accidental drowning, implicated George Anthony and then never said what happened next. Baez just left the jury hanging with no closing or conclusion as to how Caylee would be found later in a wooded area. This was a much different chronological, story as provided by the Prosecution. It was just a case of the defense throwing as much mud or spaghetti on the wall and seeing what stuck. In the end, probably not much.

Barack Obama Signs Westminster Abbey’s Distinguished Visitors’ Book with the Wrong Year … 2008

Are you serious?

The most intelligent and smartest US President ever, Barack Hussein Obama, signed the Westminster Abby distinguished visitors book with the wrong year. Does this President really have no idea what year it is? Or is he just that sloppy. Good grief, could this president be any more clueless?

This is how President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier today, where he got a tour from the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall and laid a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior. (see pic here)

It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.

Barack Obama

24 May 2008

As stated at Weasel Zippers, can you imagine how the MSM would have covered this story if GWB was President? They would have mocked Bush as the biggest imbecile ever. They would have portrayed W as a national embarrassment and that not only was English his second language, he was chronologically challenged as well.

Then again, what else can we expect from the President who also thought there were 57 states. It appears that Doug Ross agrees and maybe we should be taking a look at Obama’s college transcripts.

The UK Telegraph confirms it, brain child Obama wrote the wrong date. Talk about some wishful thinking on the part of Barack Obama. He wishes it was 2008 and he does not have to face the present challenges of which his policies have caused like the sputtering economy, 9.0% unemployment, home foreclosures, record national debt and out of control spending. As a matter of fact, there are many of us who wish it was May 2008 so that we could have a 2008 Presidential election mulligan.

Maybe he had one too many brews while in the Ireland pubs? Of course Obama should be in the Midwest and providing comfort to those in Missouri who lost their lives in the recent rash of deadly tornadoes. Of course throwing back beers for Barack O’Bama appears to be more of a priority. No uncomfortable disconnect here.
