    Poor wiener doggie. I haz sad.

  2. JeffGoldblum says at 12:00 pm, October 6th, 2008

    I would have wrote “kill kill kill kill killin’ the poor” except that I don’t read books because they’re for teh gayz, so don’t worry about it.

  3. I’d have to vote for the second to last. It’d be the Kwame Kilpatrick Memorial Library.

  4. Bagglio Ordonez says at 12:01 pm, October 6th, 2008

    I finally won something, it’s going to be a fantzy christmas in the Bagglio Ordonez family.

  5. These were way better than mine.

  6. facehead says at 12:02 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Which of the winners is Vigilante?

  7. Busted Wonkette-ing at work! Need New entertainment!

    facehead: His was, “My D*ck is smaller than my brain”

  10. The Rev. Yevot says at 12:09 pm, October 6th, 2008

    I am concerned by a woeful lack of references to TRUCK NUTZ! in the finalists’ works.

  11. I can’t believe I didn’t win with “Because I’m just an average hockey mom”.

  12. Chicken Smack says at 12:11 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Kansas Hate FTW

  13. The Rev. Yevot:
    Did not enter, but greedy. TRUCK NUTZ! - TJBeck

  14. Tommy Says Soooo says at 12:13 pm, October 6th, 2008

    “Gawker layoff, Ken Layne no gay sex.”

  15. Now I know whom to pity.

    “Remaindered books, the new Thansgiving Day stuffing.”

  16. facehead says at 12:15 pm, October 6th, 2008

    The Rev. Yevot: Clearly, Wonkette has been compromised.

  17. Contractions? That’s cheating.

  18. Gopherit v2.0 says at 12:17 pm, October 6th, 2008

    THat dog on a bun is gonna start looking pretty tasty in a few weeks.

    Godot: Hockey moms can read?

  19. Chicken Smack says at 12:17 pm, October 6th, 2008

    The Rev. Yevot: Seriously, Truck Nutz! was not the meme everyone thought it was. Cute for a day or so, but seriously… we’ve had Sarah Palin as her own built-in meme for over a month, but we still grab the Truck Nutz! callback at every opportunity? How come we haven’t extrapolated the Palin bubble into ass-sex jokes, yet still we keep ringing “TRUCK NUTS!” like it’s a cardboard bell?

    That’s just like writing a country song. How soon before Alan Jackson starts singing about Truck Nutz, so that our interest will also wane in its unimpressive popularity?

  20. Platypus says at 12:21 pm, October 6th, 2008

    That badger hound looks too good not to eat.

  21. facehead says at 12:21 pm, October 6th, 2008
  22. facehead says at 12:22 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Platypus: are you German?

  23. hemlockecho says at 12:28 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Bridget’s entry isn’t sad. Her husband hasn’t had a job for negative three months. That means they have time to save up before he’s pink-slipped. No worries, enjoy your Huckabee.

  24. The Rev. Yevot says at 12:31 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Chicken Smack: Because TRUCK NUTZ! is a powerful symbol of everything that we love to hate and mock about Fly-over country, while Sarah Palin ass-sex jokes would be sexist?

  25. HuskyMescan says at 12:33 pm, October 6th, 2008

    That poor, silly looking son of a bitch.

  26. MISTAHCOUGHDROP says at 12:34 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Screw that! Buy my book, MISTER ROSE’S ABC BOOK. We’ll have to get back to the basics, people (P.S. There’s plenty of “drinking” letters here!) Get one for your kids, and then one for yourself:

  27. capitol hillbilly says at 12:37 pm, October 6th, 2008

    meet our new savior, mister dinty moore

  28. Gopherit v2.0: You betcha! *wink*

  29. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 12:41 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Woohoo!

    I won something!

  30. Alas, I tuned in just as the prizes were being awarded.

    Need books. Brother In Law is fundy.

    Books make family members nuts, except Bible.

    I just thought I’d write for the hell of it. Nothing else to do except wait for call that my broker/nephew has a)jumped from window at GS or b)absconded to Rio with what is left of my/rest of families money. I’m betting on “B.” That kid always looked shifty to me.

  31. Mistah P says at 12:59 pm, October 6th, 2008

    I could have maybe sorta won with…

    “I win! (Unless you’re in the tank.)”

  32. I miss 70s, Erin Grey.

  33. JeffGoldblum: That’s why us gayz will dominate the world bub (short for bubba) cause we are readers of things and stuff. Oh and I didn’t enter the contest cause I have all those books, even Huckabee’s and McCain’s which I will use for kindling in the cold winter days to come.

  34. Platypus says at 1:04 pm, October 6th, 2008

    facehead: Nein, aber ich spreche ein bissien Deutsch.

    Enough of this stupid book larnin’ shenanigans, can I win the dog-flesh?

  35. Tequila Face says at 1:10 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Those books look boring! I won the American Wife book contest a few months ago and it was the most engaging, thoughtful, and original story I ever read. Thank you, Wonkette.

  36. graceless says at 1:24 pm, October 6th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: I just got that. It’s a sick outfit.

  37. bush'sbunghole says at 1:59 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Did you just pick the first five you read?
    Sincerely,
    Sore loser.

  38. Joey Ratz says at 2:02 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Finished already? I was about to submit “Arizona needs more right wing political publications”, but it is too late now. Apparently, I need to get out of bed earlier.

    The Rev. Yevot: Books or Truck Nutz? Free books = both!

  39. PedestrianMe says at 2:12 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Weak! It wasn’t even 9am on the West Coast when you started the contest.

  40. PedestrianMe: Oh boo hoo. Do you know what time I rolled in to work this morning? 7:12 AM!!!*

    You see, we on the eastern seaboard aren’t like you lazy left coasters. Try getting up and actually participating in this great political muck-slinging debate we’re having.

    *Pacific

  41. Anita Cocktail says at 4:13 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Is it really a “prize” if all you get is the Paultard Manifesto?

  42. More Dirt Please says at 5:15 pm, October 6th, 2008

    Pat, can I buy a gerund, please?
