There is a lot of exciting stuff happening in Dan Abrams' life lately, and AdAge caught up with him to hear about the latest. His network of websites continues to grow, and the newest site Mogulite was recently rebranded as The Jane Dough, a site for business news aimed at women. Dan is also expecting ...
Oh, dear: Mediaite has a clip of Dylan Ratigan's "30 Million Jobs Tour" on MSNBC. The Miami leg of the tour aired this week, and it looks like Ratigan couldn't resist filming poolside at a swank resort in Miami. Oh, Dylan. Come on now! Nobody needs to see you partying like Will Smith while trying ...
On Mediaite: when President Obama was in Arizona recently he had a tense exchange with Governor Jan Brewer, reportedly over her characterization of their relationship in her memoir (ugh) "Scorpions For Breakfast" (double ugh). Now Governor Brewer is looking to extend the story further, commenting that she thought his reaction to the book was "thin-skinned." ...
On Mediaite today: it's been a while since we've all seen Speaker John Boehner have a good cry! Is he doing all right? Does anyone know? Things seemed back to normal at last night's "State Of The Union" address, when the speaker teared up after having a word with ex-congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. To read the ...
Oh, goodness — Mediaite is following a developing story on the Drudge Report about an interview with Marianne Gingrich, (one of) Newt's exes. The interview is reportedly damning, and ABC felt squeamish about allowing it to air right before the South Carolina primaries. It will apparently air on Monday instead, so I guess we'll see ...

President Obama read a letter he was writing to the "Golden Girls" star, in which he wished her a happy birthday but also ...
Oh, my: Mediaite has a clip of a clever gentleman calling into C-SPAN to inquire about the size of Mitt Romney's member. Yes folks, the primary season has barely begun (although doesn't it seem like it's been going on forever?) and we are already here. No word on why the caller thought C-SPAN would be ...
Mediaite has a clip of Bill O'Reilly defending Michelle Obama on his show. Wow, things in 2012 really might be different! Bernie Goldberg was interviewed comparing Obama to Marie Antoinette given that she has a taste for expensive clothing, a proclivity that was outlined in Jodi Kantor's new book "The Obamas." O'Reilly dismissed those claims ...
On Mediaite: Santorum's surprising popularity right before the Iowa caucus ended up carrying him to a verrrrry close second place victory, just eight votes behind caucus winner Mitt Romney. Now that a Santorum candidacy seems more serious, people are taking a closer look at some of the wackier stuff he was saying when he was ...
Mediaite has a helpful post from Talking Points Memo giving a brief rundown of the way the Iowa Republican caucus will work this evening. The ballots for a caucus are all write-in, with voters writing down the name of their candidate of choice and then the results being tallied up by hand, high school-election style. ...
