As Gov. Rick Perry is getting more attention in anticipation of his presidential run, the media is naturally turning its magnifying glass on his record as governor in Texas and, in particular, his decision to both rail against and accept stimulus money from the federal government.

In a bit of ingenious re-branding, Real Time with Bill Maher guest Michael Moore suggested that, as long as Democrats are using “gynecological terms” like stimulus, “Why not call it a clitoris? Here, we have a clitoris plan for you.”

While the suggestion got a big laugh, it has some merit. Find out why after the jump, and see Moore’s money quote.

Senator Harry Reid finds himself in a fight for his political life against GOP opponent Sharron Angle, but he may have made the odds for getting reelected as Senator a little tougher with recent comments that have drawn cackles from his critics. During an interview with MSNBC host Ed Schultz, Reid made the rather stunning claim that “but for me, we’d be in a worldwide depression.” Wait. Say what?

Who said Fox & Friends‘s couldn’t do hard news Interviews? This morning co-hosts Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade had on as guest Glen Walker, the Executive Director of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, and absolutely grilled him on the use of the Stimulus package. The following video clip is published not so much to sing the praises of Fox & Friends; rather, the performance of Walker raises some serious questions about the Government’s oversight competence. Meaning, what does it say when you get owned by Fox & Friends?

On the heels of what might be the beginning of a truce between Fox News and the Obama administration, the White House is now calling out another major news organization. Late last night, the White House’s Recovery Implementation Office released a detailed rebuttal of what it called a “misleading” report by the Associated Press. While the AP hasn’t been stripped of its legitimacy, the reaction does seem a little bit harsh.
