Wonkette
Brave Wonkette videographer Liz Glover risked her life Saturday to film America’s Best outside the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee, which has been already well documented on the Internet. On Liz’s travels, however, she sees some *Obama-supporting* Floridians who traveled to D.C. to make their vote count, a nut from effete San Francisco, a Hillary jack-in-the-box that’s on sale for 20 DOLLARS, a horse which she vaguely molests, and, of course, the necessary standard-bearers for any summit of nutjobs: LaRouchies. When asked to describe the overall experience, Liz writes, “I asked some of the protesters how much the Clintons were paying them to be there. Almost got beat up. Clinton supporters are very serious.” Liz clearly does not value Enfranchisement.
If only we could dump the real hillary in that little box and shut her up. when will my dreams ever come true?
Liz, how very nice of you to oral-finger bang John Kerry–how much did he pay you? Was the orifice full of Heinz ketchup?
Why do the hillary people in that crowd have the look of the extras from “The Mummy” mumbling Imhotep….Imhotep….Imhotep….
I bet that Hill-in-a-box will be five bucks tops after June.
Hi Liz I enjoyed your video adventures.
The Jack in the Box made me cry in fear. My favorite character in this video (other than Liz of course) is the horse.
@Slutty_Chola_Cobbler: Those are the new ballot boxes. When you vote for Barry, Hillary will bounce out and laugh at you!
How much Clinton paid them? Silly Liz. Hillary can only pay her followers in hobo nickels now that the war chest is empty.
@Gregory_of_Nazianzus: I’m thinking ‘Americana’ 40 years from now when we have a direct PBS feed into our collective brain..
That Hill in the box should belong in some sequel to “It”, as in “She’s In IT to Win IT”.
Upon second viewing– I love the Nixon-esque hand gesture of Cartoon Hillary on the front of that frightening toy.
Also, there’s a joke somewhere about the last time Bill jacked in her box. Maybe I just made it.
@ Smoke Filled Roommate: No one will remember who she is in 40 years after the bitters have all died off.
@ Liz Glover/Jim Newell: The jack-in-the box Hillary is horribly funny. Thank you xox
Nice horse.
HRC has to have “others” pay for her protesters now that her campaign can’t afford it.
How can so many people be convinced that being part of artificially manufacturing Chicago in ‘68 is a good thing for their party and the country? Also, how are so many dems with potentially bright futures willing to become radioactive venomous monsters in a vain attempt to get this woman elected? These are not rhetorical questions…I’m actually a little baffled/troubled that this shit is still gaining momentum.
On a lighter note, I think the whole video should have been of Liz scritching the horse on the chin. Too cute.
@”Smoke Filled Roommate”:Hillkitsch is going to become a whole new cottage industry.
“The necessary standard-bearers” scare me a little. There’s a “Braveheart” vibe (without the sex appeal) going on…it would be really crazy if everybody had a horse to ride, and they could charge with there shields and standards a’blazin’ in all their glory. Well maybe not.
Hillz can still win!
It might take the systematic elimination of a few dozen superdelegates, but Yves St. Lauren, AKA the inventor of the pantsuit, would’ve wanted it that way, wouldn’t he?
@Gregory_of_Nazianzus: BitchKitsch.
@Darehead: Shame on you — horses have prehensile lips — they do that all by themselves. But yeah, more of that.
RIP Yves St. Laurent, inventor of the pantsuit. Let’s all rock out in bumblebee yellow with Hillzbeast in his honor.
That Hillz-in-the-Box was horrific. It should probably be wearing tiny boxing gloves and be set to the Halloween theme music.
Oh, newsflash — Hillary found some delegates who have yet to be counted:

Would somebody please tell me how to reply? I’m clicking the name, the picture, the date, nothing…
@SayItWithWookies: ****”Due to their vulnerable immune systems, these groups are highly susceptible to diseases borne by outsiders such as missionaries, loggers, or oil workers.”****
Please, don’t let Hillary throw her beer bottle there…
graceless: Ahhh, you kids today. I grew up without any internet at all. Why I — (sound of a cigarette lighter, then of roiling water) had to put my own HTML in my comments all by myself. This was before Java applets and shit.
So what I’d do. Right under the name of the commenter you want to reply to is a line with the date and time of the comment. Put your mouse over that and right-click it. This brings up a menu with a bunch of options, one of which should be something like “copy shortcut” or “copy link”. Select that.
Then you type the html by yourself. We used to use tools that were nonstandard back when I started, and I knew a guy named Roy who got his arm cut off doing this a long time ago. Nearly bled to death, too. His brother-in-law was right next to him when it happened, and shoved a dirty rag over the wound and pressed on it tight while Roy called 911 with his good hand. You kids have it easy today.
So anyway, in my comment, I’d start my reply with the “at” symbol, which is Shift-2, from back when I had typing class. Then I’d type the less-than sign, which lets the browser know that html is to follow. The less-than sign is on the keyboard to the left of the “M”, and use the shift key.
Then I’d type a, the html tag for anchor. Then I’d type a space, then the characters href then the equals sign then double quotes. Then I’d right-click my mouse button and click “Paste” on the pop-up menu. I’d then add the greater-than sign (to the left of the less-than sign, use the shift key) to close off that segment of html.
Yeah, my first computer didn’t even have a hard drive. One five-and-a-quarter disc (ask your grandpa, kids) was the boot disc and after it booted up you could use the other for any programs you wanted to run — like maybe some fancy calculator that could convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius or whatever. The world was our oyster.
Oh, where was I? Then I’d type in the person’s name. Then I’d do the less-than sign again, a slash (the key to the left of the greater-than sign, and DON’T use the shift key) an a and the greater-than sign. Then a colon, and start your reply.
Uphill both ways. You kids today. (sound of lighter, roiling water).
@Wookies: Let’s be honest, though, we should still have an @ [commenter] feature. Typing it in by hand gets annoying. Of course, there are more important things. Things like ho stars.
@ronaldpagan: Also, apparently you can’t type out an html respond link in a comment in which you’ve also posted an html link to a YouTube video. I tried that today a million times and it never posted. Then again, it might just be me or my computer. Perhaps we should ask the geek king himself, David Brooks.
SayItWithWookies:
I’m learning! I’m learning!
@Wookies: Damnit. All this time I had been right-clicking on the date and time of comment and then selecting “properties” and then copying the url address from there. Thanks for pointing out the simpler method.
@SayItWithWookies: And by “left,” I mean “right,” pretty much all round in that last comment. That’ll be fixed in the next service patch.
And
@NoWireHangers: Ta-Daaa! And I’m actually shocked that someone could find that coherent. Or maybe you know me better than I think.
@AudicityofHope:
Indeed, I could not even include an image tag with the standard on several comments, which was most depressing. But then I rode/saw a horse and things got better.
Like I said on the other thread: reply/basic HTML features for the comments will be added as soon as Hillary quits.
@ronaldpagan: It’s especially helpful when we’re as tipsy as I am and for some reason my last post didn’t show up. I probably forgot a close bracket somewhere or something like that.
And Jim just said it’s never going to change, so I think I’m getting some sort of reverse-Stephen-Hawking thing.
SayItWithWookies: Which reply had responses to NoWireHangers (astonished that someone could actually understand my instructions) and AudicityofHope (who I believe must be from Stockholm or wherever they make that car): I just figured that out yesterday myself. I recently downloaded Safari and it had this option prominently displayed, which caused me to look for it in IE. And Safari’s actually a lot faster than IE, at least on my PC.
@Wookies: Are you accusing me of being an elite Volvo driver? You’d be partially correct if that’s your accusation. I used to drive an ‘85 Blue Volvo Station Wagon until it died tragically two years ago.
@
Truly awesome HTML snark!
@ Say It With Wookies
Obviously…… Doh!
@
I WILL master this! Dammit….
@AudiCityofHope: Sorta — I’m trying to figure out what cities they make Audis in, per your name: Audi*City*of*Hope. See, I knew there was a connection there somewhere.
@
????
Quacker: (Chokes on tongue while laughing) I completely sympathize. I’m going to turn blue and call 911 now. Not necessarily in that order.
@Wookies: I feel stupid for not catching that. Audi was founded in Germany, though. God bless European manufactured cars. My family (i.e. my mother and I) have only ever driven European cars. (Volkswagens, SAABs, Audis, and Volvos.)
@AudicityofHope: I think I left you a message like that a long time ago too, in the other life. ‘member?; let’s get in your Audi and drive to the City….
You said you were from the South so I thought it might be Hope, Arkansas…
@Darehead: Yes I do remember that. I think I responded rather lamely to your message, if my memory serves me right.
@AudicityofHope: In Bavaria, and wholly owned by Volkswagen, apparently. Signs point to being past bedtime.

Making fun of Hillary supporters? For shame, Liz. Why do you hate women?
@SayItWithWookies: I’m Qonfused. Again. I tried to write an html reference several daze ago, but in that instance it was an image tag. All to no avail: the image reference did not appear in my post. However, your method did not include the proper quote marks that are required when writing a correctly formated refererence. Trying again below, but this time without the quote marks!
@Q No joy. Trying another method, below…
@Q: Still no joy. Grrrr. I want to embed an image reference in my post, so excuse me while I test further.
@Q: Foolish human! You have failed at your every attempt to embed images Q! But take a Queue from Hillz and make a complete oaf of yourself! Keep trying! Hmmm…erhaps some a standard forum image tag…like this…

@All: Forgive me for my pernicious posts. I will find the answer if your bear with me.

i went by the Marriot on Saturday trying to find a gal to iron my shirts. needless to say, i’m sporting the rumpled look today.
Dammit, at least give Liz a tazer or something for self-defense. Perhaps she can branch out from yoga to martial arts or marital arts or whatever.
“Don’t taze me, Glo! *Bzzt* Ow!”
Maybe you can rig it to shoot out of the Barbie-cam ala James Bond.
Somebody needs to throw the ring in the fucking fire. These goblins need to go.
OK, I did some research. Wonkette is using the free WordPress.org (not the commercial WordPress.com version) blogging/community software and I believe that objects embedded in user comments are being filtered out of user posts/comments. In addition, the CSS in the article comments is completely hosed: this is a CSS issue that needs to be addressed…the comments page looks terricble. If someone at Wonkette needs some help with these issues, please contact me by sending email to Q AT ZOMBIESMUSTDIE.com I’m a bit of a web geek and although I’m not too hot with php I can probably get ya’ll squared away and running right again. Q out!
Liz, What the hell was that? Where did you find so many people?
I was down at the Marriot at 10am, and I swear, I didn’t see half as many people! I found the little gaggle of Hilltards gathered, ironicly, down the little hill, but I never saw as many Hillary supporters as you did. I found more wandering Obama supporters than anything. (Honestly, who do they think they are? Wandering around D.C., asking for “change”! Nothing changes in D.C. except the faces, feces and pot-holes.)
Then again, I’ve lived in D.C. for a long time, and I tend to ignore the majority of the poster-wielding tourists because most of the time you’re going to get a more interesting and articulate interview from the guy dressed in loose-leaf pages of the Washington Post, squatting on the metro exhaust grates.
Oh! I’ve developed my own secret weapon for dealing with La Roucheies: Reverse Psychology (really, just ask them WHY they support him, and keep pressing them on it. Eventually they’ll get this priceless look of dissatisfaction and contempt on their face, That’s the depression setting in. You’ll find them in one of the less up-scale bars in Adams Morgan later, like the Pharmacy, Madams Organ or Asylum.)

John McCain is paying them, silly. Why else would that guy be wearing a shirt that reads “EVERY VOTE, CUNTS”?
When I was a wee tyke (1904 or so) those Jack-in-the-boxes scared the bejesus out of me. Apparently they still do.
I served my country for six years without ever doing anything that brave. A tip of the hat to you Ms. Glover!
