UPDATE: HEIDI CAN’T VOTE…
Heidi Montag, ‘The Hills’ vixen, can’t vote: she isn’t registered.
Last week, Montag declared herself an unabashed Republican…and John McCain supporter. Good in spirit, but not in practice.
Radar Magazine searched for her voter registration information and came up empty. (Although, she still has time to register in the Golden State.)
She’s not the first Hollywood star [?] to endorse a candidate without the proper voting credentials. Ben Affleck has been doing it for years. (At least Heidi has never floated her name as a possible candidate for higher office.)
TELL ME SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW...
Was that Dan Centenillo in the background with Governor Mitt Romney in today’s Fox News profile? Yes it was.
The former New York CR state chairman turned political operative works for the Massachusetts governor.
HILLARY CLINTON: UNAUTHORIZED
HILLARY SERVED AS ‘BEST PERSON’ AT FRIENDS WEDDING
The Times of London reports that Carl Bernstein is set to unleash an “unauthorized” biography of Hillary Clinton—with much of it based on the private papers of her dead best friend, Diane Blair. (Hillary, always the feminist, served as “best person” at the friend’s wedding.)
“The Sunday Times has learnt that Bernstein has been given unprecedented access to the private papers of Diane Blair, Clinton’s closest friend and confidante, who died of lung cancer aged 61 in 2000.”
The story continues:
Bernstein has been delving through Blair’s copious records of the 1992 presidential election campaign, which could offer tantalising insight into Bill Clinton’s war machine and Hillary’s reaction to news of her husband’s dalliance with the nightclub singer Gennifer Flowers in Arkansas.
Hillary denied all knowledge of the affair, but one writer who has followed her career closely said: “She always knew about her.” He added: “Anyone who has approached the subject of Hillary Clinton with a clear eye will run across many examples of stories that are not true.”
TANCREDO FOR PRESIDENT...

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW
A New York newspaper reports that the Log Cabin Republican web site lists Rudy Giuliani “as a model for its brand of Republicanism.”
ONE MUST WONDER...
Washington is dying to know if Chuck Hagel will launch a presidential campaign from Nebraska next week.
And, one must wonder, what this means for John McCain.
RICHARDSON (D-NM) FORMS COMMITTEE; GETS PROBED
IRAN BANS NUKE INSPECTORS
Foreign policy: Long the cornerstone of Republican success, is now apparently anyone’s game. The American people, according to the latest polling, seem to think Democrats are more trustworthy than Republicans in leading this nation in the global arena.
That is, of course, until they’re reminded of the 90s. But who could remind the American people of Bill Clinton’s foreign policy disasters -if only we could summon some sort of special envoy.
A-ha! (Not an 80s band reference)
Bill Richardson. Or should I say Bill “La Raza” Richardson.
Yes, this amnesty-hungry, tyrant-appeasing, Mexican flag waving Governor of New Mexico tossed his sombrero into the ring today. Everyone’s anticipating a rousing campaign for [Vice] President.
What’s unique about him with regard to the cadre of Senate Democrats that have announced isn’t only the fact he’s a Governor (a Senator hasn’t won the Presidency since JFK...and look how that turned out for him) but Gov. Richardson also has a foreign policy portfolio.
Let’s take a look:
1 – Ambassador to the UN – Let Saddam and Obama, err, Osama do what they would around the world with only a few “harsh” words and idle threats. He allowed the UN bureaucracy to kick the US around and was a generally tepid advocate of vital US interests.
2 – Envoy to North Korea – he might as well have handed them the blueprints for a nuke. Enough said.
3 – Envoy to Sudan – alright, i’m not actually going to acknowledge this one. Sudan is barely a country anymore and there’s still genocide. Not to mention Sudan is home to some of the world’s most brutal persecution of Christians. Crusade anyone?
Finally, as Energy Secretary he instituted an “open door” policy at Los Alamos it seems and allowed America’s enemies (Los Chinos) to steal nuclear technology.
Which brings me to Iran. It’s clear they want the bomb. We can’t let them. So who’s going to stop them?
The American people will either choose Gov. Paco Richardson and his resplendent track record or a Republican (not taking sides…yet) with real foreign policy experience and success.
This choice is easier than going to Taco Bell or Chipotle…“carnitas” por favor.
TELL ME SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW
A reader notes that Mitt Romney will deliver the 2007 Hillsdale College commencement address. Hillsdale, according to the Young America’s Foundation, is one of the most conservative colleges in the country.
HELL – ERR, CALIFORNIA – HAS FROZEN OVER
Barack Hussein Obama, alias Snowball (just know that “snow” rhymes with “blow”), has officially tied Hillary in the latest polls and John McCain is slipping in NH polls – leading me to conclude one thing: snowballs actually do have a chance in hell.
In a world where orange juice will soon be more expensive per gallon than gas, here’s a bit of advice: buy that SUV and screw the fruits. Disclaimer: “screw the fruits” is not a sleight to the gays.

MORTON BLACKWELL FOR JIM GILMORE?
Let me dust off my second best friend, speculation…
Other than being the former governor of Virginia (Morton Blackwell’s homestate), Jim Gilmore is a celebrated Leadership Institute graduate. Does this mean Blackwell is supporting his fledgling presidential candidacy? Possibly.
CENTINELLO JOINS ROMNEY CAMPAIGN
Dan Centinello, the former New York CR state chairman, has left the political world of California and has joined Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign in Boston, Mass.
Love him or hate him, Centinello cut his teeth in the 2005 CRNC election. He was an original member of the “Band of Brothers” (as I called them) who fought for CRNC reform in the face of an ugly fund-raising scandal. Soon after, he moved to California and worked on several campaigns—the last being Arnold Schwarzenegger’s re-election effort.
ROMNEY GIVES THOUSANDS TO IOWA CRs
John McCain isn’t the only 2008 candidate cutting checks to College Republican organizations. So is Mitt Romney!
Finance reports show him giving thousands of dollars to Iowa CR organizations.
What, the University of Iowa CRs only get $750?

SHOCK: MASS. CR LEADERSHIP TO SUPPORT MCCAIN
The highest levels of Massachusetts College Republican leadership are set to declare their support for John McCain early this week, TRUTH CAUCUS has learned.
I don’t have to tell you (but I’m going to anyway): Mitt Romney is the sitting governor of Massachusetts (albeit one-term and with a low approval rating).
This comes as Romney ends a very bad political week (i.e. defending whatever it is he said about gay marriage).
Romney spent much this weekend calculating strategy to deal with his 1994 “gay-friendly” comments.
The group of College Republicans—including Massachusetts CR State Chairman Mike Miltenberger—will form a youth advisory committee to assist McCain in Massachusetts and neighboring New Hampshire.
“Conservative College Republicans in Massachusetts appreciate Senator McCain’s authenticity and straight talk,” Miltenberger declares.
ROMNEY HEADS TO SO CAL
Mitt Romney will be in southern California tomorrow as the guest of honor for the San Diego County GOP Christmas Party. (Note: Christmas is a christian holiday.)
While he’s there celebrating the birth of Christ, perhaps he can talk about this:
