Jon Voight emceed a fundraising dinner for the Republican House and Senate last night, eliciting GOP nods of approval for a series of biting critiques aimed at what he called the “Obama oppression.”

Republicans raised $14.5m at the dinner, to be split evenly between Congress and the Senate. Speakers at the dinner called GOP members to action to win back some legislative control in next year’s mid-term elections. Ever champions of the middle class, Republican Sen. Minority Leader John Boehner warned of plans by the ruling Dems “to bury our children and the middle class under a mountain of debt.” This statement was delivered non-ironically by the party who brought us the money-draining Iraq quagmire, on the credit card.

Keynote speaker Newt Gingrich was initially overshadowed by Sarah Palin’s diva-ish will she/won’t she (appear or speak) drama. Gingrich illicited praise and agreement for his sharp critique of Obama, claiming that the Commander in Chief “uses his rhetorical skills to hide from fundamental facts.”

Voight gave voice to Republicans who have felt disenfranchised in the grueling four months since the start of the new Democratic regime. Voight called President Obama a “false prophet” and warned that America was becoming a “weak nation.”

Voight gave the party hope for November 2010, in a few simple words- ”Do not tell me it cannot be done.”

It was just $15 million yesterday, but now we’ve got even heftier reports that the unborn Brangelina baby pics could have possibly reached $22 million in the bidding war between People and OK! The numbers are probably a little off, but it is believed that the pictures will fetch more than the J-Lo baby pics that were reportedly sold at $7 million.

Rumor has it that People Editor Larry Hackett is dedicated to beating OK!, which he just might think of as undeserving. My money is on People as well, since they’ve got the most solid budget for this type of purchase.

This is actually getting pretty fun. How many more wild figures are we going to get in before someone forks over the dough? I’m shivering with anticipation!
