In an about face, many of the actors and directors in Hollywood that were upset by Roman Polanski’s arrest have had a change of heart, after hearing new details of his life in exile that have been made public since his arrest.

For those of you that don’t know, Polanski plead guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in 1977(he drugged and raped a 14 year old girl). Roman fled to France before he was sentenced and has been living as a free man ever since. Because he had an outstanding 1978 U.S. arrest warrant, he was arrested this week trying to enter Switzerland.

A petition had been circulating in Hollywood demanding that Polanski be released. Directors Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese were among his strongest supporters, as well as other actors and directors. That mood changed however, after some shocking allegations of Polanski’s potential ties to the CIA and Halliburton.

One unnamed film director said “ we heard he had a CIA interrogation room in the basement of his chateau in France. The CIA would play loud music at potential terrorists, yell at them, take humiliating photos just in an attempt to find out if they were planning more terrorist attacks. I am disgusted with Roman, he is a terrible human being.”*

A prominent producer who also did not want to be mentioned by name in this story went further; “ I heard Roman owned stock in Halliburton. I mean, I can condone the rape of a child because Polanski is one of us, a true genius. But to support Halliburton? I hope he burns in hell!”*

One famous actress was sobbing as she told me “Roman has a tramp stamp tattoo of Dick Cheney! Why Roman? To support Dick Cheney is a crime against humanity. They should lock Polanski up and throw away the key.”*

There is a story in Monday’s New York Post speculating that CNN is trying to prepare for the possibility that Larry King may retire when his contract expires in 18 months. The prospect of King leaving his nightly talk show is quite real. The challenge for CNN is to find a replacement for Larry that will not alienate his loyal viewership of 114 people. After all, the new host needs viewers too.

The Post speculates on a few possible candidates that may replace King. Here is The Snark Factor’s analysis of each potential candidate.

Joy Behar- Liked by many liberals, mostly because she is ill-informed and lacks any analytical skills. She’s not very funny. Joy Behar is to comedy what Kathy Griffin is to comedy. The combination of her lack of talent and unwatchability (yes I made that word up) makes her a front-runner to replace King and a perfect fit at CNN.

Katie Couric- She’s still spunky. Couric has actually interviewed someone all by herself. Working for CBS, Katie has proven that she has no problem being affiliated with a network that resembles the Titanic. CNN should look long and hard at Ms.Couric.

Ryan Seacrest- Plain Yogurt. But does anyone do plain yogurt better than Ryan Seacrest? He is inoffensive. But he comes with a hefty price tag. Can CNN afford to pay Ryan Seacrest Seacrest money in the hope that he can continue CNN’s dominance over MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Billy Mays infomercials? Pass…

The challenge for CNN is to find someone that will bring the same energy and excitement to the job that Larry King has brought all these many years. There is only one individual that can bring the same kind of electricity to CNN as King, and that’s the corpse of Barry Goldwater….

Today the political landscape changed in Washington DC. Many pundits on both sides of the political spectrum were shocked by Liz Cheney’s immediate spike in recent polls. Why the sudden love for Liz Cheney? It can be tracked to this quote in the NY Times.

“The future of the Cheney message,” added a conservative blogger who goes by the name of Fingers Malloy (a rare man in this crowd, and even rarer, one with a Mohawk). He also called her “one of the fresh faces of our movement.”

Reaction to the endorsement was swift. James Carville said;

“I can’t believe Malloy is in her camp. What does this do to other conservative candidates?  Well let’s just say they should give her the damn nomination right now.”*

Paul Begalla is worried about how this will change voter turnout in 2012.

“Clearly Fingers is the voice of his generation,” said Begalla. “ We thought President Obama was the voice of youth, clearly we were wrong.”*

Ann Coulter was shocked.

“I thought I was the woman that Malloy admired most. I don’t know what to believe in anymore.”*

The endorsement even rocked Hollywood. Speaking of the quote in the Times, Kathy Griffin said;

“I’m busy sucking the life out of America. Go find someone with less talent than me to speak with, if that’s possible.”*

There has been no reaction yet from Cheney’s camp. But word has spread that 2 cases of champagne was sent to her office, along with balloons and streamers.

 *Warning! Quotes may not be real… Malloy has a vivid imagination….

(This is an old post from back in February. It’s the weekend, so I thought I would bring her back. Enjoy.)

Fingersmalloy.com  is a hard hitting, fact finding, truth spilling machine. It is not some kind of gossip rag like Us Weekly or the New York Times. For example, we passed on the New York Times story that reported Governor Palin’s son Trigg is actually a robot created by Exxon Mobil.

However, sometimes we like to take a day to get away from politics as usual. As many of you who have a Facebook or MySpace account know, 25 Random Things About Me is sweeping the world. Actually it can get to be pretty annoying. Every day, millions of people are tagged to look at meaningless facts about their friends and neighbors.

Today we were given a 25 Random Things About Me authored by the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. The person who gave us this letter wanted to remain anonymous. From now on, he or she will be referred to as Deep Throat 2, the Wrath of Kahn. We will post it below, and hope that you learn something about our Madam Speaker.

Former star of One Day at a Time and current  train wreck Mackenzie Phillips was on the Oprah show to discuss her new autobiography entitled; Mackenzie Philips, How I went from One Day at a Time to working at a One Hour Martinizing.(Not the real title, but who cares)

Here are the top 6 most shocking claims from the book. If you are squeemish, go read something else, like the Huffington Post. I kid of course.

1) In a drug binge back in 1976, Phillips rebroadcast a Major League Baseball game without the express written concent of MLB.

2) Mackenzie got in a 30 minute mud wrestling match with Kathy Griffin to determine who is the least talented. Ryam Seacrest won.

3) She invented I can’t Believe It’s not Butter.

4) Phillips is a bionic creation invented by Karl Rove and Haliburton to confuse you. Yes you!

5) She was an original member of New Kids on the Block. She was later replaced by Jordan Knight, because record execs found him to be “more feminine”.

6) In a drunken stooper, Phillips watched all 17 episodes of Joanie Loves Chachi. To this day whenever she runs into Scott Baio, she always calls him Mork.

I know you are shocked.  Don’t let this information effect how you feel about Valerie Bertinelli….

Footnote: Phillips also claims to have had an affair with her late father, the late great John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. To this claim, the Snark Factor official calls Bullshit………..

Wow! What a weekend. My buddy Duane Lester stole my thunder a little bit at All American Blogger,but the Smart Girl Summit rocked. I am not going to attempt to recap the day, Duane already did a fine job of summarizing the event on his blog.

What I will say is that the leadership team at Smart Girl Politics should be damn proud. The Smart Girl Summit was a fantastic conference. Stacy Mott, Teri Christoph and the Smart Girl Politics leadership team are in a class by themselves. Thank you for putting on a wonderful event and for making the first ever live remote for RFC Radio a smashing success!
