    Now THAT is a quote.

  2. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 4:27 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Now THAT is Poetry. Fuck Edgar Allan Poe!

  3. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:28 pm, August 25th, 2008

    I’m SO prioud! Our little boy has grown up! SNIFF!!!

  4. SayItWithWookies says at 4:30 pm, August 25th, 2008

    If that’s the filthiest thing you’ve ever said about him, that photo accompanying the article should inspire you to greater heights. Or depths, as it were.

  5. BwahahAhahAHaAaaa. That’s really cool for you, though. If one has to be quoted, it might as well be an ‘xtreme’ quote. Alas, “ass-fucking” wasn’t in there, but everything else was.

  6. columnv says at 4:31 pm, August 25th, 2008

    That quote really does sum up the tone and character of wonkette.

    Cheers to intergalactic poop smeared semen and what not.

  7. AmericanValues says at 4:32 pm, August 25th, 2008

    “It’s like two quarter-pound stools of alien space shit crashed into a toxic-waste dumpster in Stamford, Connecticut, fucked, and out came their mutilated, blood-soaked carcass of a baby rat-child, Senator Joseph Lieberman.”

    This imagery is begging for an MS Paint artist’s rendition…

  8. SkimLatteModerate says at 4:32 pm, August 25th, 2008

    It was only a matter of time.

  9. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:33 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: proud.

    ANd I almost fell out of my chair when I read that quote in the context of the article, Jim. Too bad they attributed the quote to a Borg-like Wonkette instead of you personally. You could show it to your parents!

  10. WhatTheHeck says at 4:33 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Jim, what a potty mouth you got there.
    The quote is like a hammer to a bent nail. Well done.

  11. Crow T. Robot says at 4:34 pm, August 25th, 2008

    You sir, are a true vulgarian.

  12. SkimLatteModerate says at 4:34 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Shame they didn’t pick up on your semi-exclusive scoop about his persistent virginity though.

  13. wheelie says at 4:36 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Crass, shameless and hideous. Give that blogger a pay rise.

  14. StripesAndPlaids says at 4:36 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Now THAT, my friends, is some serious, mother-fucking political commentary! Chris Matthews and Hard Ball are flaccid in comparison.

    “It’s like two quarter-pound stools of alien space shit crashed into a toxic-waste dumpster in Stamford, Connecticut, fucked, and out came their mutilated, blood-soaked carcass of a baby rat-child, Senator Joseph Lieberman.”

    Can I get that on a bumper sticker and T-shirt please?

  16. EcceNerdo says at 4:41 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Kudos Jim, kudos. That’s a resume builder.

  17. StripesAndPlaids says at 4:41 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Wait, I have another…

    Do you email your mother with that keyboard?

  18. DemmeFatale says at 4:42 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Brace yourselves!!
    Wonkette is about to get A LOT of hits from like-minded “New York” readers.

  19. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:44 pm, August 25th, 2008

    PrairiePossum: Even better, this needs to be on Lieberman’s wikipedia article.

  20. Delicious says at 4:44 pm, August 25th, 2008

    You’re like the Tony Hawk of Extreme Blogging.

  21. Johnetic says at 4:45 pm, August 25th, 2008

    And they didn’t even misquote you. Nice.

  22. magic titty says at 4:46 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Wait till they read the cunt-laced tails of Cindy McCain on this intertube blogweb.

  23. Not_So_Much says at 4:49 pm, August 25th, 2008

    A fabulous quote indeed.

    But I still think you went easy on him…

  24. Whiskeybaby says at 5:10 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Jim, I am so damn proud of you right now.

  25. CivicHoliday says at 5:14 pm, August 25th, 2008

    I’m impressed that New York magazine is willing to print that in full. Horray for the f-word! Fucks all around!!

  26. S.Luggo says at 5:24 pm, August 25th, 2008

    AmericanValues: I thought that Jim held back a little tooooo much in that description. Must be because of his elitist Ivy background. T’is a shame that talent can so shackled by background.

  27. Finally, some measure of fact-finding has been restored to journalistic punditry!

  28. Cape Clod says at 5:32 pm, August 25th, 2008

    I bet the Rude Pundit is SOOOO jealous right now.

  29. WadISay says at 5:34 pm, August 25th, 2008

    If you could find a way to get those words on the teleprompter when Joe is introduced in St. Paul, that would be really cool beans.

  30. smashtheduck says at 5:57 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Jim, when I grow up, I wanna be just like you. Now if we could just get that quote on the Fox “news” streamer.

  31. Scooter says at 6:15 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Brilliant. Brilliant Brilliant. And for the love of god, Sen. Reid, clip Lieberman’s wings as soon as expedience allows!

  32. Monsieur Grumpe says at 6:21 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Nice, nice, very nice.

  33. Harvey Birdman says at 6:38 pm, August 25th, 2008

    In your face, Taibbi!

  34. liquiddaddy says at 7:16 pm, August 25th, 2008

    God bless you, sir. You are truly a great American. The greatest thing is that Holy Joe can’t stand being made fun of.

  35. sarcasticusername says at 7:41 pm, August 25th, 2008

    that quote is priceless, truly deserving of some sort of journalistic recognition, a pulitzer perhaps.

  36. Davidwatts says at 8:49 pm, August 25th, 2008

    A newfound power coursing through his veins, Joe Lieberman contemplated how delicious evil tastes at a recent campaign stop with John McCain.

  37. Davidwatts says at 8:50 pm, August 25th, 2008

    Davidwatts: oh man come on!!!!! REPUBLICAN HTML!!!

    “It’s like two quarter-pound stools of alien space shit crashed into a toxic-waste dumpster in Stamford, Connecticut, fucked, and out came their mutilated, blood-soaked carcass of a baby rat-child, Senator Joseph Lieberman.”

    Years ago, unfortunately, my friends and I would sit around, having taken acid and anything else that road in the door in someone’s pocket, and try to dream up lines like this…of course we wouldn’t remember them the next morning; but you, YOU remembered this line that you made up. Amazing…
