Wonkette
Today your editor decided to “get serious” and go to a sober panel discussion, during the day, at the lovely Minnesota Public Radio building in downtown St. Paul. So many “famous” people were there! Jim VandeHei and Roger Simon of Politico, plus Nina Easton of FORTUNE and sometimes Fox News, and also Catalina Camia of USA Today and most famously, Mark McKinnon, who used to work on John McCain’s campaign until he quit because of his Loyalty Oath to Barack Obama.
They were all like, “Yeah blogs are important,” and yet when asked which three news sources each consulted every morning NONE OF THEM CITED WONKETTE, WHICH WAS OFFENSIVE.
We got some crap video of McKinnon blaming the recount of 2000 on Al Gore’s innocent robot BlackBerry, and then a nice girl from Clean Water Action asked why all the Corporates control the news media, and a woman asked why the MSM didn’t cover the John Edwards scandal until National Enquirer had done all the research, a question that peeved Roger Simon.
Soon it was all over and we ate free cookies and snapped a picture of E.J. Dionne in the lobby. After that we went off for drinks with the sole non-Palin resident of Alaska, who provided all the dirty scoop on America’s soon-to-be-ex-vice-presidential nominee, a video which we will upload as soon as we figure out how to work that shit.
You mixed up the words in the first line: You got sober to go to a serious panel discussion.
Sara,
I am sorry you had to go through that. I used to stain my hands with MSM too, but since becoming an internet-informed person I have gone insane. Apparently, there is a person named Sarah Palin.
Wow - ever since that Library of Congress thingy you Wonkette editors have gone all “Worship Me!” on us.
JFC this is all looking like a weird circus. What the hell is going on up there? Must have the Republican Party regulars feeling just great. One odd, unplanned event after another. I hate to say it, but that’s not change we can believe in.
Good lord, the RNC is doing an “in memoriam” kinda thing, flashing the names of all the Republicans who died since the last convention. Were they all killed in Iraq?
Oh, and SKS, how are the snacks at these things?
Did they serve you hot-dish?
Instead of going to this wonky thing, you should have found yourself a nice meat raffle to attend in South St. Paul.
PLEASE RELEASE VIDEO NOW Wonkette! Pwease oh pwease.
Where’s the pix with Garrison Keillor?
Dear Sara, I’m sorry you had to go through that. I hope they didn’t get you confused with the hack SARAH.
By the way, I hope you and all Wonkettes get a big bonus from this Choke ad, which I don’t mind although I miss American Apparel.
Oh, I just finished the duty free scotch, but I’m drinking alone so much slower than the rest of you.
Nina Easton? I loved “Morning Train” and “Modern Girl,” back in the 80’s when I thought I might be ghey.
So she works for Fortune now, huh? Who knew?
