Let me guess: they dressed the ass up as an elephant.
Obviously, they aren’t paid enough to wear those things.
Also, there’s a Furry conclave at the DNC? Who knew?
…how do I know which one is Tucker, it looks like both of them are wearing bow-ties!?
Good to know you guys finally found some dates.
Well, Tucker has more experience being an ass, so that might narrow down who’s who.
[re=71663]Serolf Divad[/re]: It’s MSNBC, there would be at least a dozen elepants there if all the asses showed up, and that’s just the AM programming…
And very cute pic..!
HA. I always assumed the crowds at the MSNBC broadcast spot were just a partial group of Olbermann’s drooling fan base…now we know they are expecting a little furry pr0n.
The elephant seems pretty happy to see Sara.
I have an actor friend that was paid to dress up as a toilet bowl brush and hand out flyers that said “your job is better than mine.” True story, it was for Career Builder.
Jim Newell is a Ginger!
Nice legs, Sara. Who knew? (I’m assuming that’s Sara. Whoever you are, anyway.)
What — just by the way — what is a fuzzy Republican icon doing at the Dem’s convention anyway? And is there a fuzzy terrorist/muslim/rapper giant human doll thingy somewhere? That would be HI-larious.
Is Ken dead yet, or is he rallying?
…WoW, that elephants trunk is FULLY ERECT! He looks like he is about to trunk fukk that poor girl!!!
[re=71682]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: …oh its Sara, no wonder! Give her one for me Tucker!
Is that Dr. Lisa Cuddy?
[re=71683]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Grossness! Take a bathroom break already. Sheesh!
I have just had the existential crisis of Sara K. Smith’s existence wash over me like wave.
[re=71678]soytrucknutz[/re]: Ginger pride, brother!
Is that you, Sara? Very cute.
[re=71667]TGY[/re]: Oh yeah, you may not recognize them because they used to be known as the lesbian hippie P.A.C. “The Fuzzy Clams”.
The Ass comes in peace. Or would like 2 shots – and step on it!
[re=71683]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Yeah, but the elephant is a Republican, yeah? So, she can’t be the reason for the trunk…
Who are the mascots and who are the editors? I’m confused.
Bend them over an oil barrel (not you, Sara) and they will be identical.
The elephant does seem to be very, very happy about something
considering the angle his (or her?) trunk is at, and the fact that those
hands are obscured by the signage.
By the way, I wonder what the press would be writing at this time
if Hillary had spoken in a blue dress with a white spot on it, instead
of the roadside clean up minimum security detail orange jumpsuit?
Just asking…….

Jesus, the Curmudgeon was crushing enough, but now I find out that Newell is a filthy ginger as well? I’m going to have to find another site to frequent.
The Sarah K. Smith fan club just got another member.
I won’t believe that elephant’s a real Republican until he falls off his Segway.
did you kick them, or throw a stink bomb in their mouths?
Can Obama and McCain have Segway podiums during the debates? It would be fun to watch Barry literally run circles around his opponent.
Sara has been rendered weak in the knees by this magnificeant specimen of pachyderm manhood.
Jim appears ready to assume the fetal position (Stage one: protective arm cross against Tucker Carlson plushie. But it’s those advances from the rear that you have to watch out for Jim!).
I am also glad to see his semi-crisp American Apparel shirt is following the current rule of casual fashion: that it is OUTSIDE his pants, and not tucked in like some cheetos-eating-parents-basement-living-star-wars-collectale-action-figure-blogger.
I am soooooooooooo jealous. Looks like too much fun…
What is that mysterious gang sign the brown, muslim, defeatist, terror apologist donkey displaying? Is that the infamous “terrorist attack signal”?
On second thought I think he’s offering Ken “two in the pink” if you knowhadimean.
[re=71687]NoWireHangers[/re]: …sorry about that, sometimes the hormones just take control of my keyboard. And by hormones I mean penis.
[re=71694]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: …true, maybe the elephant is trying to cozy up to Sara just to get to Jim. That elephants want to beat it like a red headed stepchild(pardon the pun).
That female editor is hot and presumably very sarcastic. You complete me, female editor. Unless you used to be a man and have had a sex change….in that case, we can be bros.
I heard that the Donkey costume — but not the guy in it) is a Muslim.
Those signs look as if they have weird, creepy red/white/blue alien arms coming around the bottom of them. Or legs. So those are not really fuzzies, but aliens dressed as fuzzies. Watch your backs, Ken, Sara, and Jim. They might eat you.
[re=71714]bryan j[/re]: dude if shes post op who cares?
Tucker as an ass? No! They’d never be able to stretch the hole big enough for him to fit through.
Jim and Sara are adorable. The elephant does look as though it might be contemplating defiling the stars and stripes in a way that only a pervy republican who hates freedom can.
freppish: That’s the difference between you and I. I would still kick it with her, because even if she is post op, other hot girls would still jump my bones just for hanging out with her.
Only the elephant is patriotic enough to wear a patriotic hat.
Damn donkey with his hopey peace sign. He couldn’t start a war even if he tried.
Now I assume Ken took this picture. Must have been sober. No camera shake.
[re=71714]bryan j[/re]: [re=71717]freppish[/re]: …remember if she gives you the BJ, then TECHNICALLY you aren’t gay! Or so I heard.
Why is the Democratic donkey not wearing a flag hat?
[re=71722]bryan j[/re]: I am always eager for further insight into the male mind. Thanks!
This is how Denver disguises it’s transients. (I’m about the two in the costumes.) After the convention, they will have to go to dressing like a Pantomime Horse in order to make the tourists all happy-happy joy-joy.
whats the matter ken? camera shy?
[re=71694]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Your Brit flag has been noted, so you get a pass on this. But, if you get to Los Angeles some day I’ll set you up with a tour of West Hollywood, where such thoughts of sexual assignment will be smashed to the ground. In a nice way, of course.

[re=71726]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: it’s a Negroe Mooslim Terrist Donkey!
[re=71724]WhatTheHeck[/re]: The elephant is patriot because it’s Eldon Smith in the costume. (As yet one more disguise. http://wonkette.com/402224/meet-eldon-smith )
[re=71701]policonoclast[/re]: You, or the elephant’s trunk?
[re=71725]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: balls dont touch its not gay is the rule
I am surprised they don’t also have a PUMA mascot. And shouldn’t there be one for the Paultards? I’m thinking gooney bird.
Oooo. Donkey show! Kewl. So, naturally, I presume that Tucker will be bottom?
Segways is 4 teH gaYz!!!!
[re=71738]freppish[/re]: …Oh really? I didn’t hear about that one, I really need to get a copy of the 2008 Republican handbook!
[re=71725]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: You mean I’m not gay? This is the happiest day of my life. I can’t wait to tell my parents I’m going back in the closet.
[re=71739]WadISay[/re]: …PUMA Mascot = A giant Ass with hat, Paultard Mascot = an Orc(level 20 or higher)
[re=71732]jerryw[/re]: I’m only using society’s constructs for comic effect, you don’t need to go to LA to learn that people can’t be pigeonholed.
Anyway, it was meant to be a joke… in reference to the truth universally* acknowledged that a Senator in possession of a good wife, must be caught cheating on said wife with a woman, if Democratic, or a man, if Republican. Look back for last year’s “Cocktober” and “Blowvember”…
(*) the Wonkette Universe
I would have commented earlier, but I’ve been singing “Oh Sara” to the tune of Steve Perry’s “Oh Sherrie” up and down the halls of our office for the past hour. Once you get the demonstrative leg walk thing down, it’s kinda addictive.
The elephant as a party symbol…this symbology is waay to pervy. I need lunch.
[re=71744]KevoTron[/re]: …congratulations, you are not gay! However unfortunately, now you are Republican!
[re=71750]JadedDIssonance[/re]: How come that elephant doesn’t come with any rainbows?
Did you just break the fourth wall by letting us know what you look like? I’m not sure how I feel about the editors being humanized (having nice legs or red hair, or shirts. Maybe we were all better off when they were just disembodied wacky voices chucking political insight out of the ether. Or something.
No wonder MSNBC got that address — did anyone else notice that “Wewatta” is an anagram of Twat Awe?
[re=71751]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I’m not sure which is more traumatic. All I can say is there is no fucking way I’m lobbying for a Republican right to marry. That shit’s sick and wrong.
[re=71754]SayItWithWookies[/re]: No sorry, I did not notice since I was writing a largely unread dissertion on Greek mythology and the DNC. But: WIN!
[re=71752]Outstando[/re]:
http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/53975592/11504584
[re=71755]KevoTron[/re]: …not to mention its an affront to Darwin’s theory of evolution!
I am surprised that we are getting so much serious reporting instead of who is throwing the best parties…and by best I mean best drinks, drugs and wild sex. I mean, geez, everyone is so tense and serious. If it’s one thing those Clinton Bitters (TM) need it’s a good boinkin’ from some College Democrat high on Ecstasy and drunk enough not to look too close. Pictures damn it! Pictures!
It’s time for MSNBC to pack it in, fold up shop, dissolve, retire and go away forever. NBC-Universal should change the station to 24-hour reruns of situation comedies. We’d get far more social insight from an old re-run of “The Beverly Hillbillies” than we’d get from anything running anywhere on MSNBC these days.
If I dare: What the hell is a “ginger?”
And is the cute girl in the picture Wonkette’s Sara?
The biggest clown in that picture is the ginger with the backpack. Go figure.
[re=71765]thefrontpage[/re]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_kid
[re=71765]thefrontpage[/re]: Ginger = redhead.
MARCdMan = Ginger (for the record)
Both of those poor clowns are aspiring thespians.
They spent 11 years at Actors Studio.
The one in the elephant costume wanted to do Hamlet.
The one in the donkey costume wanted to do Willie Loman in “Death of A Salesman.”
Instead, this is the only gig they could get.
They both will be coming suicide later today.
No one will care . . . .
Ah, politics!
Where’s the Crying Eagle mascot?
[re=71765]thefrontpage[/re]: I’d go as far to say that Sara is racking, unless she’s really short, then it’s just a question of scale. Churlish to request her measurements?
BAD BEAR
Say, what is Wonkette’s “business plan”* for “coverage”* of the RNC? I picture Jim and Sara striding pridefully toward the X-Cel Center like the alien tripods in War of the Worlds, blasting beams of the snark at random people and objects, which then expode.
*uncontrollable hoots of laughter
Hey, if that is Sara then Sara = Cute.
[re=71772]HIROHITO99[/re]: That’s next week in the Twin Cities.
From now on, all Sara posts are tinged with intense hotness.
You guys need shifts for sleeping/eating/blogging or something. I can’t go 3 hours without any new posts during the workday. What do you expect me to do? Work? I thought this was America!
What’s Sara reaching for behind that podium? Some guys have all the luck.
Another pic of Sara with another infamous ginge. This picture looks cuter because she is drinking corn likker.
I can barely make out Sara’s face in this picture. At least post something hi-rez.
[re=71748]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: I, for one, got it, AND thought it was funny.
[re=71777]AfghanVet[/re]: It is now well-established that Sara is a total hottie. How she ended up blogging is totally beyond me.
They look incredibly inflammable.
[re=71787]jagorev[/re]: Oh, yeah, her face. Good point. See, I was thinking smaller tighter dress, but I’m just kind of sick that way.
That pic link seems fukked. Is this the firefox 3 bug? Try it again.
Here. Hope it works.
Can I request we quit the “OMG a gurl on teh interwebs!” posts, and get over it?
[re=71782]NoWireHangers[/re]: Yeah, what gives? This is a Democratic National Convention! There should be something happening about every half a minute that could easily be ridiculed and laughed about. I mean, sure… the republican convention will probably be even more stupid and more inane but this is your only chance to make fun of politics and politicians without being reminded that John McCain was a prisoner of war for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS everywhere you go.
AfghanVet: How do we know that she actually blogs? Maybe it’s a symbolic position, I mean, this is Wonkette. It is required that the editor be hot. I bet theres some tool of an intern running the whole operation, he probably got fired from the Harvard Lampoon for being ugly or something.
[re=71794]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Note that I have refrained from saying how cute Sara is. This is because I have willpower and stuff. Plus, Liz G. owns my soul, so there you go.
[re=71796]bryan j[/re]: I bet the real Wonkette looks hideous like this: http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/33930/original.jpg
I can’t believe the elephant’s interested in Sara. He’s Republican, she’s female. It doesn’t add up.
[re=71794]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: yes, thank you.
[re=71817]bup[/re]: That’s how you know he’s not Republican… he just plays one on a Segway.
[re=71823]KevoTron[/re]: Yeah… when I posted that, I hadn’t realised we were going to move on to Olbermann-Tweetie action…. Thanks for that.
[re=71788]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Thanks, you’re a sick individual indeed.
Newell was the captain/star quarterback of the football team in high school. I JUST KNOW IT!!!!!!!
[re=71748]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: What’s with the decent manners?
[re=71843]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: He makes holes in defensive lines the size of bomb craters. Force equals mass times acceleration. Plus don’t forget the heat.
soooooo sad…..the Clintons will do anything to make new friends.
guessing the Ginger fella hangs around Tuck and Abes all day telling how talented they are, even in the costumes they totally rock and that bitch Mika couldn’t hold their jock strap in her Uncle Sam mascot suit.
[re=71793]RuperttheBear[/re]: Well, someone will soon be playing soccer with her bizzoobs.
[re=71765]thefrontpage[/re]: The word is pronounced “GING-er” and it refers to a callow youth who enjoys playing catcher in prison.
[re=71741]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: “Make [Titania] render up her page to me.”
Look out, Jim!!!
Is this start of a new “open caption” feature for wonkette? its totes fun on gawker
[re=71739]WadISay[/re]: Harold Ickes was busy at the CNN bar, couldn’t make it as PUMA mascot. And Carly Fiorina is helping Cindy pack for her Georgia expedition.
I saw Tucker Carlson stomping on rats in the basement of the Pepsi Center. Abrams might have been the guy in the hazmat suit picking up the crushed little creatures and placing them in a bag, but I didn’t get a good look. Tucker said he gets a buck a rat, so it looks like he’s making out pretty good in his MSNBC hosting career.

Wait, are they are Segway Personal Transporters?
[re=71794]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: TITS OR GTFO
I’ll take ass over trunk any day of the week.
Dan Abrams must be the donkey. Tucker dressed up like a jackass would just be redundant.
