" A Donald Trump supporter mocked Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren's Native American heritage by using a stereotypical war whoop during a speech at a Bangor, Maine, rally for the Gop's presumptive nominee on Wednesday. "You know Elizabeth Warren, right?" Howie Carr, a well-known conservative radio host and media personality, asked the rally crowd, before tapping his open mouth with his palm while whooping - the way children did decades ago while playing "Cowboys and Indians." The chant comes after Trump dubbed Warren "Pocahontas," and charged during a phone interview that Warren has "used the fact that she was Native American to advance her career.

Elizabeth Warren is standing her ground after Donald Trump called her "very racist" for claiming Native American heritage. Asked about Trump's comments - and former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown's call for her to take a DNA test to prove her ancestry - during an appearance on ABC's The View on Tuesday, Warren replied, "Donald Trump will say or do anything. So will Scott Brown." "What this is really about," she continued, "is can they bully me into shutting up? … And the answer is nope, not happening." Warren's rebuttal comes one day after she campaigned for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton...

Former Republican senator and current Fox News contributor Scott Brown guest-hosted The O'Reilly Factor on Friday, and during the opening segment delivered a message for his party: stop fighting each other. Brown said it's not good form for the Gop to have all these big fights between hardcore conservatives and moderates, and called for a more politically inclusive Republican party.

"Caution," former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown declared in lackluster fashion on Monday night, stepping into Bill O'Reilly's shoes. "You are now entering the no-spin zone." And thus his first night hosting The O'Reilly Factor (not an April Fools' joke) began. After a "Talking Points Memo" asserting the "joke's on us" (if we think the country's problems are close to being resolved), Brown turned to his panel to discuss.

Former White House senior advisor David Axelrod joins a flurry of erstwhile politicos making the leap to television news punditry. Axelrod, who was a key strategist for President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, joins NBC News and MSNBC as a senior political analyst. The announcement came Tuesday from NBC News and follows last week’s news that 2012 Republican presidential aspirant Herman Cain has joined Fox News Channel. The network also recently hired former Republican Senator Scott Brown while parting ways with Dick Morris and Sarah Palin at the conclusion of her three-year contract.

Just more than three months after he lost his Massachusetts Senate seat, Scott Brown will be joining Fox News Channel as a contributor, the cable network said today. “Senator Brown’s dedication to out-of-the box thinking on key issues makes him an important voice in the country and we are looking forward to his contributions across all Fox News platforms,” said Bill Shine, Fox News’ Evp Programming today in a statement. The Republican will make his debut tonight on Sean Hannity’s show. Brown, who served less than one full term in the Senate after winning Ted Kennedy’s former seat in 2010, had widely been tipped to run for John Kerry’s seat when the Democrat replaced Hilary Clinton as Secretary Of State. However, Brown said he would not seek the office again. His addition comes as the network has been moving people in and out of late, with Sarah Palin...

How do you like them apples? Ben Affleck has announced that he won't be running for Senate.
"I love Massachusetts and our political process, but I am not running for office," he said. He vowed to continue his work with the Eastern Congo Initiative and with fighting hunger in the United States.
The 'Argo' director and star was rumored to be considering running to replace John Kerry. President Obama has nominated Kerry for Secretary of State.

Other potential candidates that have been named are soon-to-be former Senator Scott Brown and several members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation.

As the race for United States Senate in Massachusetts entered its final week, incumbent Republican Senator Scott Brown was all revved up to attend a fourth and final debate with challenger Elizabeth Warren, who enjoys about a five-point lead in the polls. Despite promises to attend or reschedule around Hurricane Sandy, and despite some trash-talk about giving Warren a lift in his four-wheel drive pickup truck, however, Scott Brown's campaign has decided the candidate won't be able to make it for a Thursday night match-up with Warren, nor any other night.

The X Factor winner Alexandra Burke disappointed fans at Brighton Pride, cancelling at the last minute "because her team were not satisfied with the crowd, estimated in the thousands, and claimed it was not significant enough for the singer to attend." Oh, honey. It's not wise to diss the gays.
Finally, after snubbing beer enthusiasts on his reddit Ama, President Obama has released the recipes for the two White House beers. Now we just need Mitt Romney's tax returns, and we'll be able to make a decision on who to vote for.

On Twitter, Blake Shelton tweeted about swerving to run over a turtle in Oklahoma. NPR's Barbara King questioned the star, as did some fans. Then things got ugly. Shelton eventually admitted he wasn't even in Oklahoma and it was a joke. But some of his fans are still threatening turtles to "defend" the star against "liberals," showing the danger of a careless joke, on any subject.

Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown's interview with Piers Morgan began on a rebuttal. Morgan's previous guest, Karen Santorum, had said she tried to laugh at the senator's birth control joke at her husband's expense, but she didn't seem too happy. "I took a whack at everybody," he explained, before diving into an extended conversation with Morgan that explored his reasons for running for reelection, his experience hanging out with Gene Simmons, and the time his wife greeted him naked in the driveway (really).

Republican Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown took a shot at Rick Santorum and his opinions on birth control during Boston's annual St. Patrick's Day breakfast. Brown observed that both Newt Gingrich and Santorum were getting Secret Service -- which he found notable for the former Pennsylvania Senator. “I think it's the first time he's actually ever used protection!" The crowd erupted in guffaws.

Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat who is running for the U.S. Senate, spent Tuesday night (Nov. 1) rubbing elbows with some fairly famous faces, including Emmy-winning producer Norman Lear, Barbra Streisand, Rhea Perlman, Danny DeVito and Hans Zimmer, reports the Daily Caller.
THR's Tina Daunt recently called Warren "Hollywood's new 'It girl'" and it looks like she is not wrong. In order to attend the party thrown by Lear at his Hollywood estate, the party-goers had to donate between $1000 and $5000 to Warren's campaign fund.
Streisand's publicist Dick Guttman tells The Caller, "[Streisand] was delighted to meet her."
Warren first gained national attention when she gave a now-famous "Class Warfare" speech as part of her "Talking Tour" in September. The video is below. The 62-year-old Oklahoma native is a bankrupcy expert, a Harvard law professor and currently serving as Special Advisor for the United States Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown has been taking heavy criticism over a joking reference to Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren's physical appearance, including from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. The cast of ABC's The View weighed in on the controversy today, and took Brown's side. The discussion included a loose grasp of the facts, and an interpretation of Brown's comment, from Whoopi Goldberg, that even the most imaginative press flack couldn't have thought up.

It's often said that politics is a combat sport. But they've taken it to a new level in Massachusetts.
During a debate Tuesday (Oct. 4) among Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate, Elizabeth Warren took a shot at the person she's angling to replace, onetime nude model and Republican Senator Scott Brown.
When asked, "To help pay for his law school education, Scott Brown posed for Cosmo. How did you pay for your college education?" Warren replied, "I kept my clothes on."
Brown soon fired back. During a radio interview on Thursday (Oct. 6), he was asked what he thought of Warren's comments about keeping her clothes on. Brown simply said "Thank God."
If that wasn't bad enough, the state party representatives joined the fray.
Claire Kelly, the executive director of the state's Democratic party responded, "Sen. Brown's comments are the kind of thing you would expect to hear in a frat house,...

Joe Manganiello says that he has no problem dropping trou for his role in Magic Mike, since he's been doing it on True Blood already, though he doesn't know if his costars are ready. But what really makes him giggle is that as a classically trained actor, stardom rides on his bare bottom. "The fact that I've said yes to a part named Big Dick Richie is hilarious to me. When I first started acting it was Merchant of Venice and all of these Ibsen plays and turn-of-the-century drama, so the fact that I went through all of that training and now I'm known because I flash my butt on screen, that's hysterical."

President of Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist may have just revealed another way to win his support that might be less politically painful than having to sign his taxpayer protection pledge. All you have to do is look great in a bathing suit! During his appearance on ABC's This Week, Norquist suggested Republicans will take back control of the Senate in 2012 because all of the open seats will either be in Red states or because Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown and his bathing suit will be running for re-election.

A certain blogger called me out on not mentioning the 0% fresh rating for The Smurfs yesterday. He says it like I was part of some Smurf-spiracy, like I was bribed with a truck load of Smurf Berry Crunch. Mostly, I waited for calmer heads to prevail, and as I write this, we're up to 17% fresh and climbing, and I'm still waiting for Armond White's review.
