    “We’re Sorry, this video is no longer available.”

    WTF, Kenneth?

  2. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 11:50 pm, September 2nd, 2008

    OK scratch that

    PS: Shoulda talked with the Blogads guy about your godawful “Choke” overlay.

    Apologies if my comment publishes like 10 times.

    This can’t be the last episode — you can quit after the Chris Matthews interview.

  4. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 12:02 am, September 3rd, 2008

    It’s already boring…

  5. WagTehGod says at 12:02 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Why the last episode? Did McCain cancel his interview with you because you called his wife a cunt?

  6. Monsieur Grumpe says at 12:03 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Drunks in a dark bar. I ain’t seen that before.

    Dear Wonkette:
    Please see if you can get with any of the Alaskan delegates and ask them to explain how a state that has no personal income tax, no statewide sales tax, and a suspended gasoline tax is about to hand out a Permanent Fund Dividend check in the amount of $3,300 to every man, woman and child in the state. While continuing to grovel for federal earmarks. Palin initiated a proposal, passed by the state legislature, that added $1,200 as a “resource rebate” out of the state’s $5 billion oil tax surplus to the $2,100 Permanent Fund checks. So, in a couple weeks, Alaskans will have 3,300 reasons to love Sarah. This, of course, is the kind of maverick she is. Shake up Washington, anyone? Yay, the end of the IRS!!!! I’m so down on..er…with this hottie!

  8. Johnny Zhivago says at 12:05 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Forget a flashlight, a candle would work wonders….

    But seriously, check this photo of Palin (and the date) and tell me the Waterbreakgate doesn’t have wings??

    I’m sorry, meant to add a link to Alaska’s Permanent Fund web site: http://www.pfd.state.ak.us/

  10. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 12:14 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Johnny Zhivago: Who gives a shit? ooh, she’s hawt.
    She’s an inexperienced baby factory Governor of the largest state with a tiny proportional population that pays people to live there. McCain pulled her out of his ass on the *hope* that women will take notice. Who gives a shit about her fashion choices?

    .. Must be my GenX rearing its ugly head.

  11. iwillsavethispatient says at 12:19 am, September 3rd, 2008

    The 3-Legged Man: Every man, woman and child you say? So, all these Palin babies are actually a cunning way to up their allowance?

  12. Newell: where the funny?

  13. ihatepolls says at 12:42 am, September 3rd, 2008

    If anyone likes comedy, please watch Larry King now (Tuesday night).

  14. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 12:44 am, September 3rd, 2008

    mmmmm! That yummy teevees there. Best of luck getting out of such a dark bar without being fondled by a gub’ment official! Except the wimmins, they have nothing to fear.

  15. ihatepolls says at 12:46 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Like comedy.
    Watch Larry King.
    Please give us a real Democratic response team.

  16. Joe Spenard says at 12:52 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Show me the money honey !

  17. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 12:59 am, September 3rd, 2008

    So I’m watching Discovery HD (Dirty Jobs) …I really think that Mike Rowe needs to campaign for the Democratic party.

  18. Sir Gaywad Baggington-Douchely von Suck says at 1:20 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Jeez, it’s like drinking with Colonel Kurtz. I hope you managed to stick around long enough for the big water buffalo sacrifice; I hear it’s a hoot.

    Only those who have been Drunk In St. Paul understand what a truly dark, sad, dark, dark, and sad thing it is to be Drunk In St. Paul. I hope you survived the experience. Just remember that if you get through it enough times, you get to write the Great American Novel!

    Of course, that’s IF you survive. And then if you do it too much, you wind up writing crappy screenplays in Hollywood to pay for your crazy wife’s nuthouse rent. And then you die.

    So good luck with that. Keep drinking … and I hope you don’t die!

  19. The 3-Legged Man says at 1:24 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Did you say “Alaskan Reporter Bill Scannell”? Must be a new job for him, because this is what they have about him on the Alaska Public Radio site:

    “Jake Metcalfe’s campaign advisor resigns under fire
    APRN - Anchorage
    The campaign advisor to democratic Congressional candidate Jake Metcalfe resigned this afternoon. Bill Scannell’s resignation comes amid allegations that he was behind a series of false websites intended to smear one of Metcalfe’s opponents, fellow democrat Ethan Berkowitz.”

    http://aprn.org/2008/05/01/alaska-news-nightly-may-1-2008/

    I guess if you know someone you can get press credentials.
    If he offers to “tweak” your web site, perhaps you should decline. Or is he the one who did the flaming pink motif?

  20. druranium says at 1:31 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Does anyone else get the feeling that the republicans are just barely able to hold it together during this convention? I see a lot of sad liars smiling and lying through their teeth, but I can’t tell if they’re just trying their best to get the lipstick on the pig or if this is all just standard operating procedure.
    Whatever it is, it looks like a goddamned flaming car full of clowns.

  21. Joe Spenard says at 1:35 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Scannell, what a schlub.

  22. economywine says at 1:43 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Watch out C-SPAN!

  23. amazingtomatoes says at 2:20 am, September 3rd, 2008

    If you did this every day, ever, I would have drunkenness I could believe in.
    Do it for the functional alcoholics in remission!

  24. So this is what the Algonquin Round Table was like.

  25. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:16 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Let’s get off the family affair for a sexond cause tweetie believes in the NBC.
    Alaskans have no need for the union. She is from the limits of the excerpts of America. She’s a hardcore conservative for sure.

  26. Hilarious! All the videos suggested by youtube after this are for ronpaul. Ha ha. Internet wins again.

  27. HollowBrain says at 9:46 am, September 3rd, 2008

    Please don’t stop doing these Wonkette. Think about the children.

    And the alcoholics.

  28. thefrontpage says at 11:26 am, September 3rd, 2008

    We’re all angry that any sane journalist would be insane enough to think for a fleeting second that there’s any real news to be had at this so-called Republican “convention,” which in reality is nothing more than a stinking pile of rancid manure and a last collective of the desperate, pathetic, frantic and anguished cries from a dying nation of withered conservative psychotics who never really connected with the vast majority of Americans and never really connected with the vast majority of the people living on the planet Earth.
