6.65 min. | 5.0 user rating		 By my rough calculation, it probably cost on the order $450 to get Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao's nails done. Workers in Kentucky struggle to fill up their gas tanks because gas is $4/gallon and inflation is rising. Workers in Kentucky worry that they won't have a job tomorrow because the second Bush recession promised to be even worse than the first. Workers in Kentucky wonder if they'll meet next month's mortgage, while Wall Street fat cats get bailed out by Washington. But does any of this worry Elaine Chao, wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) and George W. Bush's Secretary of Labor? We all know a girl's gotta look pretty when she's busy wrecking the American economy!

12.75 min. | 5.0 user rating		 After weeks of conservatives begging the McCain camp and the media to let "Palin be Palin," John McCain and Sarah Palin managed to come together today for their first joint "live" interview as reports swirled that Palin is going "rogue." Between McCain's points and questions from CNBC's Maria Bartiromo, Palin only got a couple lines in -- easy answers on nuclear energy and oil prices. Bartiromo cut off the interview at the one question that could actually create some of those "rogue" answers: "I'd like to ask you how your partnership is going, and how unified you are, actually!" After that line, Bartiromo tossed to anchors, Mark Haines and Erin Burnett, who were forced to explain that the awkward cut-off was because the McCain camp would only allow five live minutes. (The vidio also features a family recipe used by Mitch McConnell's wife, Secretary of Labor, Elaine Chao.)
