KARL ROVE APOLOGIZES TO HILLARY CLINTON, ADMITS HE HAS BRAIN DAMAGE

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Republican strategist Karl Rove publicly questioned Hillary Clinton’s health last week, raising concerns about the damage she sustained during a fall in December 2012 that doctors say resulted in a blood clot.

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, Rove insinuated that Clinton suffered from more than a blood clot while onstage at a conference. The Post reported that Rove said, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

Today, the former chief of staff during George W. Bush’s presidency, apologized to Clinton who is the Democratic frontrunner for the 2016 presidential nomination. Rove admitted that he, not Clinton, has brain damage, citing episodes ranging from memory loss and impeded analytical ability to erratic dancing.

Many will recall that in 2012, Rove kept on insisting on FOX News that Mitt Romney, not Barack Obama, had won the presidential elections. Rove also made news in 2007 when he was caught on video rapping and dancing like a runaway robot during a broadcasters’ black-tie dinner.

In his public apology, aired on CNN, FOX and MSNBC, Rove asked for Clinton’s pardon and wished her well in her  “quest to clinch the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination from Barack Obama.” (See what Rove means about memory loss?)

Rove also announced that he was voluntarily committing himself to an unnamed rehabilitaion facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.

CONGRESSMAN CLAY AIKEN, CONGRESSWOMAN JESSICA SANCHEZ?

San Diego, California (The Adobo Chronicles) –  There’s something special about being the runner-up in the reality TV singing competition ‘American Idol.’  With a few exceptions, runners-up seem to generally have better professional success than the winners in their respective seasons – in the recording business, stage, film, religious ministry, and politics.

Season 2 runner-up Clay Aiken (who lost to Ruben Studdard) is now the presumptive Democratic nominee for North Carolina’s Second Congressional District seat. His Democratic opponent, Keith Crisco, unexpectedly died today.

Meanwhile, The Adobo Chronicles learned that Season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez (she lost to Phillip Phillips) has filed her candidacy for the 51st Congressional District in Chula Vista, California. She has  decided to run as an Independent.

Political observers agree that Sanchez has the cards going in her favor because the district has a large Filipino and Latino population. Sanchez was born to a Filipina mother and Mexican father. The only odds against her is if the Filipinos and Mexicans do not go out and vote.

Both Aiken and Sanchez have an enormous advantage over their opponents. They do not even have to give speeches at their campaign rallies. They just need to belt out a tune or two.

Will the next Congress welcome Congressman Aiken and Congresswoman Sanchez?

 

 

MERYL STREEP TO PLAY LEILA DE LIMA IN NEW HOLLYWOOD FILM, ‘THE DE LIMA LIST’

imageHollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Hollywood Productions announced today that it has begun filming its latest blockbuster movie, ‘The De Lima List,’ based on the true story of Philippine Secretary of Justice Leila de Lima, considered the country’s ‘Iron Lady.’

De Lima is known to be holding a signed affidavit from suspected pork barrel scandal mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles, containing a list of Philippine senators and other high-ranking politicians who have participated in the ten billion-peso scheme to divert taxpayer money to ghost projects and unsuspecting nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Allegedly, the funds eventually went into the pockets of the politicians.  To this day, de Lima has refused to make the list public and many suspect that more than half of the sitting senators are on that list.

The Hollywood film is directed by Steven Spielberg, the same Academy Award winning director responsible for the 1993 film ‘The Schindler’s List.’ Multi Oscar Award winner Meryl Streep, best known for her role as Margaret Thatcher in ‘Iron Lady,’ will play de Lima.

Streep, Spielberg and the production crew arrived in Manila Sunday.
