Is Obama Checkin' Out Booty At The G8 Economic Conference? (Video)
*In case you haven't heard, President Obama was busy taking care of business last week at the G8 Summit in Italy and he's catching hell over a picture being distributed by Fox News and other outlets. But, the real story is in video, not the still photo. It appears that we have been "punk'd" ... at least those who believed they were seeing the President staring at some arbitrary girl's butt. Plus, why would he look at that can when he's already got that plus beauty and brains in First Lady Michelle? But who could blame him if he did sneak a quick peek. That's what men do, even gentlemen. Nothing like a little variety erry now and then. :) Now, on the other hand, France's President Nicolas Sarkozy seems to be going out of his way to check out the ba-donk-a-donk on home girl. Click over and view the evidence on video and let us know what you think.

Pelosi Squashes MiJac Congressional Resolution By Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee
*It's over for House Resolution 600the legislation introduced by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas that would have proclaimed Michael Jackson as an American legend, musical icon and world humanitarian. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday denied the resolution because debate on the symbolic measure could raise "contrary views" about the pop star's life, she explained. Lawmakers are free to use House speeches "to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "I don't think it's necessary for us to have a resolution." Even before Pelosi's comments, some Democrats said privately they did not support the resolution and a divisive debate would hurt House efforts to muster the votes for priorities such as health care and climate change.
