Rachel Maddow on Obama's Re-election
Ohio really did go to President Obama last night. And he really did win. And he really was born in Hawaii. And he really is legitimately President of the United States. Again. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics did not make up a fake unemployment rate last month. And the Congressional Research Service really can find no evidence that cutting taxes on rich people grows the economy. And the polls were not skewed to oversample Democrats. And Nate Silver was not making up fake projections about the election to make conservatives feel bad. Nate Silver was doing math. And climate change is real. And rape really does cause pregnancy sometimes. And evolution is a thing! And Benghazi was an attack ON us, it was not a scandal BY us. And nobody is taking away anyone's guns. And taxes have not gone up. And the deficit is dropping, actually. And Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction. And the moon landing was real. And FEMA is not building concentration camps. And UN election observers are not taking over Texas. And moderate reforms of the regulations on the insurance industry and the financial services industry in this country are not the same thing as Communism.Meanwhile over the pond...

Max Clifford admits to covering up Tory MP's Paedophilia
MC: I think that...things I get credited with. It's like Alan Clark. Wonderful piece in that was when she, Mrs Clark, started talking about "below stairs". Nothing to do with me, but wonderful.A covertly recorded video in which Max Clifford states that he creates false images, deceives people and and lies. He then goes on to admit that he had played a part in covering up the sexual abuse by Tory Minister, Alan Clark of two girls from the age of 14 who were the daughters of his mistress, stating, 'The only slightly serious side about it was he'd actually interfered with those girls from the age of fourteen.'
DC: Straight out of Upstairs Downstairs.
MC: Wonderful for me. You couldn't have written the script, to make it even better and inflame it. And he enjoyed the whole thing. Alan Clark loved the whole thing. The only thing about it, you had...they made a lot of money out of it. He'd used them, so they wanted to make money out of it, they had a moan, so they did. He enjoyed it: he sold even more books. The only slightly serious side about it was he'd actually interfered with those girls from the age of fourteen.
DC: That wasn't publicised was it?
MC: No, It didn't come out. Because by the time the pair of them came over here, most of the time they were totally pissed, and mother and daughter were fighting each other to get on this television show. Turned into a farce and a pantomime.
Max Clifford is now the PR Ambassador for the charity Children In Need.
DC is allegedly Dominic Carmen who it is believed uploaded this video and then removed it (or made it private) for reasons unknown once the Jimmy Savile scandal began to widen into other areas of child abuse. It is for reasons of public interest that this video has been re-uploaded. Max Clifford has serious questions to answer.

Well, social media - when you play in someone's walled garden, you can't then complain when they shut the gates, right?
