  • WAH WAH WAH: Barack Obama, speaking to popular ladies’ magazine Glamour: “Everybody who knows Michelle knows how extraordinary she is. She’s ironically the most quintessentially American woman I know. She grew up in a ‘Leave it to Beaver’ family.” So this is your story, Hussein? Then maybe you can explain that candid photograph of her on the cover of the latest New Yorker magazine. [Glamour via LA Times]

    After the Nation “sex” column, does he really want to be talking about Beaver?

  2. sanantonerose says at 8:29 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Leave it to Beaver family? Does this perfect suburban scenario include an Andy, the alcoholic handyman?

  3. PoliticalGraffiti says at 8:32 pm, July 17th, 2008

    i think the “Leave it to Beaver” family was PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, MRS. OBAMA!

  4. masterdebater says at 8:39 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Ward, you were pretty hard on the Beaver last night.

  5. V572625694 says at 8:49 pm, July 17th, 2008

    “Obama suggested that both candidates’ spouses should be off-limits for the remainder of the campaign”

    So I guess you’ll be closing down the Wonkette, huh Jim?

  6. SuperRounder says at 9:18 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Sen. Obama, if you want us to leave her alone, tell her to stop dressing so nice. That will at least get guys like me to stop staring at the wagon she’s draggin’.

  7. tsunami says at 9:18 pm, July 17th, 2008

    V572625694:

    or, maybe, half the wonkette.

    leave the cunt-trollop half open.

  8. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:28 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Wonkette mobile ES BROKED.

  9. loquaciousmusic says at 9:29 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Cindy McCain grew up in a Intervention family.

  10. loquaciousmusic says at 9:31 pm, July 17th, 2008

    I mean “an Intervention family.”

    For an elitist English teacher, I suck balls.

  11. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 9:35 pm, July 17th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: There is a wonkette MOBILE!?!?! Why did I not know about this?!

  12. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:39 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Well, look at this picture of another person that had a Leave it to Beaver upbringing. http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/hearst/hearstsla.jpg

  13. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:42 pm, July 17th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: Yes. With a fancy new phone apparently there is a Wonkette mobile, however you cannot login and harass Paultards for some gawddamn reason. You can login, but you shant comment. You shall read the comments of others and take your beating in vein.

  14. WhatTheHeck says at 9:51 pm, July 17th, 2008

    “Golly Beaver, where did ya get that AK47?”
    Beaver: “In school today, this cool, colored guy told me if I wasn’t part of the gun n’ bible culture, I would grow up bitter.”

  15. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 10:16 pm, July 17th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Talk about a tease! That’s just some serious blue balls waiting to happen.

  16. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 10:37 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Ward: How’s the Beaver?
    June: He’s still pretty sore. You were kind of hard on him last night.

  17. medievalist says at 10:49 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: I always thought that picture of Patty Hearst was incredibly hot. Hell, if McCain had married her instead of his pill-popping cyberg stepford wife, I’d be voting for him in November.

  18. Paultardville says at 11:19 pm, July 17th, 2008

    V572625694: Actually, I was thinking he meant it in the no-sex-before-the-big-game kind of way. Which is pretty damn hardcore!

  19. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:35 pm, July 17th, 2008

    Never whore your wife and imagine that solicitation of the family on the corner is exactly what your fucking campaign needs. It makes the other “sectarian violence” folk so very angry. Barry should know better than anyone else, because he is a drug-addicted pimp, from heaven.

  20. graceless says at 12:00 am, July 18th, 2008

    I think her hairdresser should sue over that cover… I really do.

  21. boomer says at 12:12 am, July 18th, 2008

    “She grew up in a ‘Leave it to Beaver’ family.””

    Yea, if Ward and June raised the Beev in South Shore Chicago, two income, working class household, and Wally attended Whitney HS–which is not how I remember the TV series. Nor can I quite picture Frasier (who worked in a water plant) lounging in mirror polished penny loafers, a button-down shirt, and a cardigan, or Marian serving meat loaf wearing a perfectly tailored s A-line cocktail dress accessorized with a perfect strand of pearls.

    Hell, there weren’t even people like that in my home town, Lillie white Bay Area suburb when ‘Leave it to Beaver’ was on TV, or, I suspect, anywhere else.

    Barry must be thinking of some other 50’s to 60’s TV series. (Like The Honeymooners.)

  22. S.Luggo says at 12:20 am, July 18th, 2008

    Cindi Leive: Give me your passionate touching, Obama. Except for Dana Perino, well, I’ve never done it with an ofay, excluding the back bench of the Montreal Canadians and the forwards on the Maple Leaf’s farm teams.
    Barry: But how do you feel about NAFTA?
    Cindi Leive: She was okay for an Algerian Muslim. But since then, I’ve grown.

  23. S.Luggo says at 12:46 am, July 18th, 2008

    “Barack Obama, speaking to popular ladies’ magazine Glamour.”
    No Hopiosity, no Change. No, “So bite me, me hearty.”
    Another Clinton Republicrat.

  24. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:11 am, July 18th, 2008

    medievalist: Agreed.

  25. Quacker says at 1:32 am, July 18th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl:

    I didn’t know this either, and teh regulr Wonkette won’t let me post from my elitist iPhone. Fuckers!!

  26. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 3:07 am, July 18th, 2008

    Quacker: Jeez… no elitist iPhone commenting… no elitist-level html capabilities… the new wonkette needs to step up its game (did i use that phrase correctly?)

  27. Sabre_Justice says at 3:21 am, July 18th, 2008

    Don’t mess with this dude’s wife, fellas. He don’t like it when you do that.

  28. Does that make mean Hillary is Eddie Haskell?

  29. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 5:35 am, July 18th, 2008

    She’s ironically American? Like wears cowboy hats while burning the flag?

  30. What light aircraft does Michelle use for getting around?

    Also, Wonkette mobile: best kept secret or alpha-release?

  31. 4tehlulz says at 8:31 am, July 18th, 2008

    PoliticalGraffiti: Actually, the Beav didn’t love his country until he was captured in Vietnam.

  32. TGY:
    Light? She seems like a Chappie James type and would fly an “In your fuckin’ face!” F-4 Phantom, loaded with Sidewinders and Sparrows.

  33. V572625694 says at 2:07 pm, July 18th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Did it ever work? My Treo chokes on it big time.
