Roger J. Stone Jr. has more than a bit of a thing for Eliot Spitzer. In 2008, he reveled in the disclosure of the governor’s dalliance with prostitutes from a pricey escort service called Emperor’s Club V.I.P. He delighted in Mr. Spitzer’s downfall — and continues to do so. He even claimed credit for bringing Mr. Spitzer’s penchant to the attention of the federal authorities, however unconvincingly.So it has been little surprise that the self-proclaimed Dark Prince of political dirty tricks has placed himself squarely behind the unorthodox campaign for governor — and grand décolletage — of one Kristin Davis, an erstwhile madam for another escort service. ashley dupre ashley dupre video eliot spitzer amber arpaio ashley dupre youtube ashley alexandra dupre ashley dupre nude ashley alexandra dupre nude ashley dupre girls gone wild pictures nude ashley dupre ashley dupre ggw ashley dupre bikini ashley dupre pictures ashley alexander dupre in a bikini ashley dupre

Sarah Palin stumps for McCain today
sarah palin photos In 2008, John McCain gave Sarah Palin a national stage when he picked her as the GOP's first female vice presidential nominee. Today, Palin returns the favor as she campaigns for McCain in Arizona where he faces a Republican primary against former congressman J.D. Hayworth. McCain is seeking re-election to a fifth U.S. Senate term.They will appear at 3 p.m. (ET) today at the Pima County Fairgrounds in Tuscon. Another event is planned in Mesa on Saturday. As our Gannett colleagues at The Arizona Republic report, it's the first McCain-Palin joint campaign appearance since the 2008 presidential contest. A lot has happened since that campaign for the former Alaska governor -- a best-selling memoir, a regular gig as a pundit on Fox News and, now this week, news that she has inked a deal with Discovery to host a reality TV show, Sarah Palin's Alaska.

Sarah Palin's reality show, artist Alexa Meade, Alexie wins 2010 Pen/Faulkner prize
Good afternoon, everyone. Sarah Palin is getting that Alaska-themed reality TV show, after all! Lisa de Moraes reports that producer Mark Burnett is in negotiations with the Discovery Channel for a limited-run travel show featuring the former Alaskan governor. "Evidently, Palin will serve as sort of modern-day Sacagawea," de Moraes writes. "She'll guide viewers around Alaska to meet the 'characters, tradition and attractions in the 49th state." For how much? Earlier this month, Burnett, best known for executive-producing CBS's "Survivor" and NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice," shopped the show around in Los Angeles, with Palin, to the broadcast networks for a reported price of about $1 million an episode, which is a lot of lettuce for a salmon-fishing and moose-skinning travelogue. Elsewhere: Today's must-read is Dan Zak's profile of Alexa Meade, a locally based artist who does amazing things with paint and human flesh. Here's a narrated photo gallery of Meade's stop-in-you-tracks work, which is set to be displayed at London's Saatchi Gallery in the near future.

Sarah Palin to Host Reality Show
sarah palin photos Is Sarah Palin TV's latest reality star? You betcha! The Wall Street Journal says that the former governor of Alaska has signed a deal with the Discovery Channel. Her new series will be titled, Sarah Palin's Alaska. The show will focus on everything and anything interesting in the state, with Palin acting as your tour guide. The deal is expected to net Palin a cool $1 million-plus per episode. Discovery has that kind of cash? Apparently so. There's no word when the show will premiere. However, Palin is keeping plenty busy with her other new gig as a Fox News commentator.

Health Care Reform Begins at Your Direct Care Primary Home
One of the health care reform bill reforms that won't start until 2014 is the implementation of "insurance exchanges." Instead of the public option--where the government provides both the pool of customers and provides the health care--with the insurance exchange, the government simply creates the pool of customers. We can go "shopping" in the exchanges for health insurance options.
The idea is that the exchange system will promote more price competition between insurance companies, and since the government regulates the exchange, it can exert downward cost pressure on them, too. Participants will have to demonstrate, for instance, that they're spending the majority of their money on providing health care services, rather than on overhead. But Seattle may lead the way in cost competition for another reason entirely. HR 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, allows flat-fee direct primary care practices ("medical homes") into the exchanges.

Health care reform bill 101: rules for preexisting conditions
The health care reform bill outlaws denial of insurance to those with preexisting conditions. But this change won’t take full effect for years. In America, people with health problems but no health insurance long have struggled to find and afford coverage. To those with such preexisting conditions, America’s health system has seemed, at the least, capricious: Why has it been so hard to get insurance when you need it most?. nsurers have seen this same problem from another viewpoint. Selling coverage to someone with a preexisting condition might be a bit like selling auto insurance to a driver who wants help with an already-dented car. Insurance is meant to protect someone against future events, not pay for things that have already occurred. Well, the healthcare reform bill signed into law Tuesday by President Obama will end this situation by outlawing denial of insurance coverage to those with preexisting conditions. It is one of the most popular individual provisions in the entire 2,000-plus-page legislation. But this change won’t take full effect for years. The rollout starts with children.

Sarah Palin: US Troops Must be Second to None
Can’t wait to meet our troops – and all those who love the U.S. Armed Forces – today at Ft. Bragg. Read my book’s dedication page. The book is for these Patriots who fight for freedom. They deserve our support and our government’s unwavering commitment to equipping them for victory.
The book tour is beyond all expectations. This feels like the time when a team comes together, gearing up before a major competition to show unity and supply strength and encouragement to each team member equally, regardless of the team member’s role or title.
On this tour I hear the grave concerns Americans have for our children’s future. I also feel the hope so many of you want to cling to – hope for those on Capitol Hill to see the light, hope for politicians to be humble enough to acknowledge that growing the federal government isn’t the answer to our economic challenges, hope that it won’t take another terrorist strike to wake us up to continued threats by those who hate America and our allies.
