Porn Star Date Says Charlie Sheen ‘Started Yelling Racial Slurs’ in NYC Rampage

A few weeks ago, police were called to a New York City hotel room where Charlie Sheen was found intoxicated and naked, having caused thousands of dollars of damage to the room. Sheen subsequently dismissed the incident as “one bad night” and said the media was blowing it out of proportion.

Turns out that Sheen’s “date” for the night was 22-year-old porn star Christina Walsh, who goes by the name Capri Anderson, whose online porn site is operated by a company called “Medium Pimpin.” She was paid as Sheen’s escort for the evening:

Capri Anderson was hired to escort Charlie Sheen to dinner, but the night ended with her locked in a hotel bathroom in fear for her life, she says.
“Towards the latter half of the night, it got really bad. He started yelling racial slurs,” Anderson, an adult film actress, tells ABC News. “But it wasn’t until he put his hands around my neck that I really thought to myself, you have gotten yourself in a bad, bad situation.”

What “racial slurs” was Charlie yelling? Hollywood is happy to tolerate a famous star with a penchant for booze, drugs, hookers and violence. But racism? That’s intolerable.

UPDATE: There’s video of the “Good Morning America” interview and excerpts like this:

“He was calling me a whore a lot. And he was yelling things like, you F-ing bitch. If you don’t come out  here, I’m going to kill you. If I get in there, you’re going to be sorry. If I get in there, you . . . whore, you whore, whore. Like he just keep screaming and slamming on the door,” she said.

As to the term “whore”: (a) Capri Anderson’s business is having sex in front of cameras for money; and (b) her fee for escorting Sheen to dinner was reportedly $3,500. There seems to be some dispute as to whether other services — beyond mere social companionship — were included for that fee.

We still haven’t learned what sort of “racial slurs” Sheen was (allegedly) shouting, or in what context he was shouting them.

UPDATE II: Sheen’s manager Mark Burg, who is also executive producer of Two and a Half Men, cleverly seeks to undermine Capri Anderson’s credibility: “This is a woman who, for the right amount of money, sleeps with strangers.”

Uh, Mr. Burg, isn’t it a well-documented fact that your client is a man who spends money to sleep with strangers?

Why should we believe him instead of her? Because he’s a rich Hollywood celebrity and she’s not?

TSA Boss Explains Groping Grandma Necessary Because U.S. Doesn’t ‘Profile’

Gateway Pundit has CNN video with TSA chief John Pistole telling Candy Crowley:

“I think the Israeli model, which a number of people have talked about, uses intelligence in a different way, profiling. . . . That is top-notch security. The question is, do we profile here in the U.S.? No, we don’t.”

So when a 7-year-old girl says, “Grandmama, they touched you on your special girl spots,” you know why.

Obama’s not listening to you. He’s listening to “experts.”

All this, the New York Times would have you believe, is about a “debate over the proper balance of security and privacy.” But the grannies and children being groped in airports are not a threat to anyone’s security, so there’s nothing to balance.

Obama: Shiva the Destroyer?

Barracuda Brigade linked this:

This sounds about right:

“Shiva is the destroyer, the most powerful god of the Hindu pantheon and one of the godheads in the Hindu Trinity.”

However great Obama’s destructive power — three weeks ago, he was widely credited for the annihilation of Democrats in the mid-term elections — this attribution of divine power is offensive to Hindus:

Newsweek’s depiction of President Obama on its latest cover has irked some Indian Americans who, fresh off Obama’s visit to the world’s largest democracy, are not happy with the image of the U.S. president as the Hindu deity, Lord Shiva. . . .
Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism in Nevada, told the English-language Sify News in India that Nataraja is highly revered and meant to be worshipped, not indecorously thrown around. Zed, who is known for his work on interfaith dialogue, said it is not OK to use Hindu concepts and symbols for profit or self-serving purposes.
Suhag Shukla, managing director and legal counsel of the Washington-based Hindu-American Foundation, told FoxNews.com that her group doesn’t think Newsweek was being malicious or trying to offend Hindus, but “the cover was in line with the media’s comfort of utilizing Hindu symbols or deities to symbolize an issue.”

Robert Oppenheimer once famously invoked Shiva: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

Comcast ‘Presumptuous and Arrogant’

No, it’s not somebody complaining about their cable bill. It’s federal regulators talking about the NBC takeover:

Comcast is still in negotiations with the government over its proposed takeover of NBC Universal, but that did not stop the cable company from announcing a new management slate for the entertainment giant last week.
That announcement displeased regulators, according to two government officials with knowledge of the negotiations. In September, the companies said in a statement that they would make no further personnel announcements “until the deal-closing process and timing is certain.”
“For a deal this large, and one that hasn’t been approved, Comcast’s behavior is presumptuous and arrogant,” one of the officials said.

Hmmm. “Presumptuous and arrogant.” Let’s see if Keith Olbermann names Comcast “Worst Person in the World.”

I’m holding my breath.

Republican Buerkle Leads by 567 Votes in NY-25; Still No Concession From Maffei; UPDATE: Buerkle Campaign Says, ‘We Need to Allow the Process to Proceed’

The incumbent Democrat appears to have been defeated, according to the Syracuse Post-Standard: 

Republican Ann Marie Buerkle holds a 567-vote lead over U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei in the 25th Congressional District race after Wayne County election officials released their unofficial tally of absentee votes today.
Buerkle added 269 votes to her lead after getting 790 votes to Maffei’s 521 in the absentee vote tally in Wayne County. Elections officials in Wayne County completed the tally today and posted the results on their Web site.
With those votes in, the total unofficial vote count for the entire district stands at 104,374 for Buerkle and 103,807 for Maffei, who is seeking his second term in Congress.
Abby Gardner, a spokeswoman for Maffei, said the campaign had no immediate comment on the Wayne County results.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports that the total number of “challenged” ballots is not enough for Maffei to make up the difference. The Lonely Conservative states the obvious:

It’s time for Dan Maffei to concede already. It’s over. Ann Marie Buerkle will be the next representative from NY25. There’s nothing left for him to cling to.

Remember that a victory for Buerkle would make history.

UPDATE: Tim Sahd of National Journal explains why Maffei is unlikely to overturn Buerkle’s win:

Attorneys will head to court early this week to argue over whether a handful of disputed absentee ballots should be counted. But a Onondaga County elections official noted that Maffei’s campaign was the one that objected to most of those disputed ballots, meaning that any count would likely only boost Buerkle’s lead.
Maffei has indicated he may ask for a recount, but Democrats should not put too much hope in that process. In several other House contests this year, recounts have changed the final result by just a handful of votes; certainly not enough to overturn the certified result.

UPDATE II: Statement from the Buerkle campaign:

“We are pleased with the numbers released by Wayne County today. There is another court hearing set for Tuesday morning, and we will wait to hear Judge DeJoseph’s determination now that all absentee ballots in New York’s 25th Congressional District have been counted. While we remain confident that Ann Marie Buerkle will emerge the victor, we need to allow the process to proceed as set forth in the original court proceedings initiated by the Maffei campaign.”
