  • OH DON’T MIND US, LADIES: Hey Matt Jaffe and Rick Klein of ABC “News,” did we st-st-stutter when we wrote this story like a million years ago with “Must Credit Wonkette And Its Tipster, ‘John’” in the headline? No, and now “John” is sobbing, probably. JAKE TAPPER would’ve credited us because HE’S THE MAN and ADORABLE. [ABC "Lose"]

    Actually Jake Tapper is a total narcissistic tool. He actually thinks his blog ruminatings are so smart & he is God’s gift to the rest of us mere mortals. Sorry, I just despise that ass hat.

    But Kaine is so MOTIVATING and thought provoking? What are you doing Wonkette? Why have you forsaken him?

    You go, girl!

    What matters is helping people, not who gets the credit.

    spencer: …to hell with that! Burn that bitch down!!!

    Is this why John is so bitter and hates America?

    Screw Obama, Bayh and whover else. I’m voting Lemon Party in ‘08!

    Texan Bulldoggette: remember when he cried like a little girl when he found out barry was smoking again? http://wonkette.com/375586/obamas-smoking-ruins-special-bond-with-jake-tapper

    ABC = Always Behind the Clock? Matt and Rick are hungover from a big Chamber of Commercalooza last night and didn’t do their homework. So they thought, oh cheez, let’s just steal this story from Wonkette.

    Rev. Peter Lemonjello: Even his olfactory senses are superior. What a dick….

  11. SayItWithWookies says at 12:01 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Wow — “it’s true because it’s on the interwebs” has now become “it’s true because it’s a redirect.” WTF just happened to our collective IQ? Oh, it’s August first. Chanra Levy’s been on the front page of the WaPo for like ten days now. I can only imagine that Dubya is right now ignoring a frantic briefer with a memo titled “bin Laden determined to strike inside US.”

    Jake Tapper is no Andrew Romano. Andy is way more of a BILF. http://profiles.friendster.com/2915154

    So, you post a false rumor and ABC debunks it, mercifully omitting who first spread the rumor and you are upset you weren’t named as the guilty party? If you were any more of an attention whore you would be in the next McCain commercial.

  14. RuperttheBear says at 12:23 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): gonzo debunked it in the third comment to the original article.

  15. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 12:36 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate):

    Nice avatar. Bitter much?

  16. BadNewsJack says at 12:57 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): Wow, what crawled up your ass and died?

    “Good lord, the rod up that man’s butt must have a rod up its butt.”

  17. nietzscheprojectile says at 12:57 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: I second that. He shot to fame on a stupid citypaper article - “I dated Monica Lewinsky.” Tool.

  18. DemmeFatale says at 12:59 pm, August 1st, 2008

    My 18 year old daughter wants to know if calling a man a “lady” is some kind of insult.
    Well is it?

  19. HuddledMass says at 12:59 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): Oooooooo! Canmon is m-a-a-a-a-ad!

    Wonkette is not a good site for people whose humor gland has been removed. You know, the one that produces the four “humours” as taught in McCain’s high school bio class back in 1256 or thereabouts.

  20. mothermaven says at 1:02 pm, August 1st, 2008

    It was debunked on Wonkette only to have ABC make it look like they debunked it.
    Given that last debate over at ABC we know their journalistic standards over there are lower than the Enquirer and Weekly World News. Peter Jennings must be throwing up in his mouth a bit in his grave.

  21. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 1:58 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Advocatus_Diaboli: HuddledMass: Ouch! I need to remind myself that Wokette posters are as fiecely to this site loyal as Obama supporters are to him.

    As for my avatar, I actually was a Hillary supporter so it is only partially ironic.

  22. JimNewell says at 2:00 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): mothermaven: Oh man… this doesn’t even qualify as a RUMOR. It was one of those stupid coincidences that we like to take and then exaggerate for no reason other than we’re fuckers. Just like right now, where we don’t actually care what ABC does or who they credit, but we will arbitrarily yell at them.

  23. BadNewsJack says at 2:02 pm, August 1st, 2008

    I’m sad now.

  24. Doglessliberal says at 2:08 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: he catapulted to fame because he dated Monica Lewinsky once and then wrote about it, I think but could be totally misremembering, in the City Paper. This man’s career is built on a blow job in the Oval Office.

  25. Mo MoDo says at 2:17 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Doglessliberal: So is Hillary’s.

  26. Doglessliberal says at 3:53 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Mo MoDo: hah!
