LIVE AT FIVE: 08.13.12

Standard disclaimer: some of the following links are to photographs liable to cause unfavorable reactions from wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, fellow workers, bosses, Gender Studies majors, and other people in a position to make your life miserable or otherwise pollute your purity of essence. Discretion is advised.

We welcome new blogger A Fool’s Game to Rule 5 Sunday; he offers some vintage pinup action as his debut. The POH Diaries goes Olympic with some UK beach volleyball pix, while Laughing Conservative’s attentions are on Ireland’s Georgia Salpa. First Street Journal gets their Irish up at ESPN for omitting Melissa Seidemann from the (nude) pix of the American womens’ water polo team; IMNSHO also has a selection of Olympic beauties. Randy’s Roundtable breaks for Catrinel Menghia and Aubrie Lemon, while Fishersville Mike ponders the inability of the Charleston (WV) press to understand Rule 5. Speaking of the news, Reaganite Republican deems Fox’s Diane Macedo red hot! The Rio Norte Line introduces us to Dutch TV babe Sylvie van der Vaart, while First Street Journal’s regular Rule 5 post is all about Army women on the close combat course. Three Beers Later presents Miranda Lambert and Danica Patrick being bad; also, some important advice in this economy.

EBL looks at Kim Glass of the womens’ volleyball team, a vintage pinup before & after, shooter Corey Cogdell, Rita Hayworth with a rifle, Marilyn Monroe, and Brigitte Bardot with Pablo Picasso.

For some reason (perhaps the Yellow Sign?) A View From The Beach deprives us of our accustomed cavegirls; in their place, there’s tax refugee Laetitia Casta, Betty Davis Eyes, Hot Summer Night, Sextape, Gibson Gives In, Trust But Verify (with Olympic content), and a new version of soccer from Brazil.

Soylent Green leads off with Jenna Jameson‘s endorsement of Mitt Romney and her consequent smackdown of 0bots on Twitter. Then follows a vintage Monday Motivationer, Tuesday Titillation, Monica Apor providing Humpday Hawt, Overnight Underboob Awesome, a secret prize, Friday Corsetcare: The Sequel, Overnight Awesome with Ana, and more Geisy wearing less.

El Opinador Compulsivo has Sherlyn Chopra, Sofia Vergara, Kaley Cuoco, Erica Hosseini, Jacqueline Bisset, Drew Barrymore, scenes from the car wash, the creek, and a jungle resort.

This week at The Camp Of The Saints, it’s Genevieve Debra Morton and Rashida Jones; Dustbury brings us Denisse Guerrero and Heather Locklear. Proof Positive has Elisabetta Canalis as his Friday Night Babe, Marilyn Monroe for his Vintage Babe, a 49ers cheerleader, and for the Sex in Advertising segment, Victoria’s Secret.

The DaleyGator’s DaleyBabes this week are Tori Praver (on a Rule 5 journey!), Saki Yamaguchi, Abbie Cornish, Nanami Norishima, Marcella Matos, and Lee Hyo Ri.

Thanks to everyone for their linkagery! Deadline for next week’s Rule 5 Sunday is Saturday, August 18; please send all links to the
Rule 5 Wombat mailbox.

#RomneyRyan Ohio: Shout It Out Loud!

Posted on | August 12, 2012 | 34 Comments

“These are the biggest crowds, some of the biggest enthusiasm that we’ve seen at Romney campaign events . . . This is as loud as I have heard a Romney campaign rally . . . This crowd is fired up. This campaign is fired up right now.”
— Jim Acosta, CNN, Saturday, Aug. 11, 2012

Are Republicans in Ohio ready for Mitt Romney’s tour of the Buckeye State? I just got the campaign schedule for Tuesday:

12:30 p.m. ET: American Energy Corporation
43521 Mayhugh Road
Beallsville, Ohio

3:30 p.m. ET: Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl
532 Mcintire Avenue
Zanesville, Ohio

7:00 p.m. ET: Ross County Court House
2 North Paint Street
Chillicothe, Ohio

My wife’s family lives in Ohio, so I’m rattling the tip jar collecting Shoe Leather Fund contributions for this road trip — and I’m excited. As Professor Paul Rahe says of the choice of Pau Ryan as Romney’s running mate:

This will alter radically the dynamics of the race. The money spent by Obama trying to demonize Governor Romney will prove to be money entirely wasted. The election is not going to be about Mitt Romney. . . . It is not going to be about Bain Capital. It is going to be about the failed policies of Barack Obama, about their dangerous character, and about the sober, sound alternative the Republicans represent.

After seeing the massive crowds Saturday in Manassas, Virginia, I’m hoping Republicans in Ohio will turn out the same way. Remember this photo that Susan Ferrechio of the Washington Examiner took from the press bus arriving in Manassas:

Can the Ohio GOP match that? Can they turn out thousands of people to give Mitt Romney a rock-star welcome in the Buckeye State? The Lonely Conservative has this headline:

Romney and Ryan Drawing
Massive Crowds in Swing States

There is no swing state more important than Ohio. The liberal media can spin and lie and misrespresent all they want, but if thousands of people show up for these rallies — c’mon, Ohio Republicans! — that will send a message they can’t miss.

Saturday in Manassas, while we were awaiting the arrival of the Romney-Ryan campaign bus, the warm-up music included a rock anthem by Kiss from the 1976 Destroyer album:

Call all your friends in the neighborhood
And get the party started. . . .
‘Cause it’s time for you to take a stand.
Shout it! Shout it! Shout it out loud!

Make it happen, Ohio!

“I’m proud to stand with a man who understands what it takes to foster job creation in our economy, someone who knows from experience, that if you have a small business — you did build that. . . . I’m excited for what lies ahead and I’m thrilled to be a part of America’s Comeback Team. And together, we will unite America and get this done.”

‘Community Relations,’ IYKWIMAITYD

Posted on | August 12, 2012 | 13 Comments

New York legislator Naomi Rivera is the daughter of a corrupt Bronx Democrat machine politician. She also has a boyfriend named Tommy Torres whom she put on her payroll — and on her secret Facebook page, as Candice Giove of the New York Post reports:

Dozens of photos on Daniela’s page show Rivera with her hunky “babe” in various poses — locking lips, nuzzling his cheek and dirty dancing.
The legislator began posting romantic photos of Torres in 2009, when she created the page under “Daniela,” her middle name, and a year before she hired him or finalized her divorce from husband Antonio Rodriguez.
Torres pulled down $18,123 in taxpayer-funded salary while working out of Rivera’s Morris Park district office for four months in 2010, records show.
But exactly what he did for his $1,100-a-week rate remains unclear — as does the question of how it was even possible for him to work for Rivera when he was already working full time as a gym teacher and high-school sports coach.
According to state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office and Assembly records, Torres was listed as a “full-time” community-relations director for Rivera from Aug. 30, 2010, until Jan. 1, 2011.
At the same time, city Department of Education records indicate, he worked full time at Brooklyn’s PS 157 and made extra money coaching after class. In 2010, he earned a total of $89,550 from the DOE, records show.

So between what he was making as a public school teacher and what he got as a politician’s hired boy toy, Torres was collecting more than $100,000 a year from taxpayers. And yet when confronted with the evidence, his girlfriend/client Rivera asks the reporter to “respect my privacy,” as if having taxpayers pay a salary your boyfriend was a private transaction.

C-3PO Raids the Death Star

Posted on | August 12, 2012 | 30 Comments

Allahpundit trembles between fear and hope:

Has there ever been a campaign that went, literally overnight, from being about nothing to leaping neck-deep into the most treacherous, dangerous issue in American politics? Until [Friday] night, I thought Romney was running for president because he wanted to be president, full stop. Everything about him suggested personal ambition over vision — the endless flip-flops, the extreme caution on the trail, the negative-ad carpet-bombing of Gingrich and Santorum in the primaries. Then I wake up [Saturday] morning and find he’s made the boldest move on entitlement reform in modern U.S. history, all but gambling his candidacy on the public’s ability to not only see through Democratic Mediscare smears but to embrace a reform agenda. I don’t know how to process it. I respect Romney tremendously for it, but it just doesn’t compute. It’s like watching C-3PO lead the raid on the Death Star.

Read the whole thing,

Jersey Nut calls our attention to this video in which Paul Ryan schools Obama on health care policy:

Watch CNN’s Candy Crowley describe the choice of Ryan as the expression of a Republican “death wish”:

Candy: Shut up and make him a sammich.

UPDATE: David Axelrod wants you to know that tall handsome Republicans are bad — bad! — for women.

UPDATE II: Donald Douglas says Allahpundit is “perhaps a shade more Eeyorish than need be,” but you expect that, right?

Some people are natural-born worry-warts, and that’s OK. You wouldn’t want everybody on your side to be boldly sanguine, cockeyed optimists expressing “irrational exuberance.” The critics and naysayers who serve as the voice of caution, pointing out the dangers and risks, are doing a service to the cause. The key in dealing with worry-warts is not to let yourself be paralyzed into inaction by such concerns.

Everybody’s worried — I’m worried, too — but leadership requires action, and fear is the enemy of action. Great victories cannot be won by avoiding risk. Now, everybody put on their game faces, and let’s go kick some butt.
