Amy Holmes - a GOP strategist, a former aide to ex-Republican Senate leader Bill Frist, and a talking head often seen on FOX News - made a couple of surprising revelations while co-hosting The View today: She is registered as an Independent and is adamantly pro-choice – even though she’s said she’s Republican in the past.
So, why does the Black Entertainment Television personality tout conservative values, while espousing some pretty liberal views in private?
“Because she quickly learned as an African American woman today what would be the quickest route to air-time,” an associate of Holmes told Big Head DC this morning. “She definitely wouldn’t have been hosting The View today, if she was a liberal.”
No party line, it seems, will hold the 33-year-old Holmes back in her quest for fame. She’s said in the past that she’d like to have her own television program like Charlie Rose, has appeared as one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful,” and, we’re told, worked her sources hard to score an appearance on Bill Maher’s program in April.
“I love photo shoots,” Holmes, who once dated the former Reliable Source writer Lloyd Grove, told her alma mater’s newspaper in 2000. “I understand now why celebrities get addicted.”
But who knew that becoming addicted to the GOP would get a gal everything she ever wanted?

So, the only way for her to get famous was to become conservative. Ha. All that time screwing Grove was useless.
Now, now. It wasn’t that much time.
Because people can make up their own minds without following jackboot party lines on either side. Geez what a simp you’re turning out to be. Is this the best stir you can muster Rob? Bill Maher himself is a “Declared Libertarian” but hardly follows the doctrine of small government, no taxes and limited government intrusiveness. He’s more of a “Guilty Liberal” who hides behind the Libertarian label instead of coming out as a proud Progressive. For the record, I’d rather have a clear thinking host like Amy instead of someone who reads from the political party playbook as if it were the gospel according to Karl Rove or Howard Dean.
Personally, I think the best mustered here today is this:

You argument makes no sense. She’s a hypocrite. Plain and simple. Why compare your conservative heroes to Bill Maher. Are you that desperate?
She’s hot.
[…] One person you can expect Grove not to cover: His former gal pal Amy Holmes, a one-time Reliable Source source who went on to become a GOP strategist, a former aide to ex-Republican Senate leader Bill Frist, and a talking head often seen on FOX News. Boy, his back must have been sore after she stepped on it! […]
Amy Holmes makes the most banal statements. She is annoying!
“She is registered as an Independent and is adamantly pro-choice – even though she’s said she’s Republican in the past”
I’m unclear as to the republican-anti-choice connection … are you implying that reproductive freedom is somehow connected to a party line?
Let me start by saying that I am a educated black man who feels that any race or gender can be a member of any political party, but I can hardly stomach Amy Holmes. She is very bias of all the issues and is programed to talk nothing but hard core conservative values. It’s not hard to see that she was groomed early in life by republicans to be a token black. She is so programed that she doesn’t even notice it. She answer every question with go!! conservatives. I will be glad to see the day when they let her think on her own.
She reminds me of a coworker. Loves to hear herself talk and talk and talk, thinks she’s a lot smarter than everyone in the room, talks over them, is incredibly narcissistic, has an inflated sense of self, and uses a charming facade to conceal her real condescension of others. Fingernails on the chalkboard. So transparent. And she sounds like she’s just regurgitating stuff she read in a newspaper or in a book, like a robot, not like a real person. Am I the only one who sees this. Watch the commentary.
I think I’m a better match for Amy than any of those guys she dated.
Amy Holmes’ Uncle Tom noise is destructive.
