PSYCHO GAL GOES PSYCHO BECAUSE OF OBAMA: A nutjob restaurant owner in Florida went around writing “KKK” on various kitchen walls and employee time sheets on Election Night because what the hell? Apparently her co-owner is black and she was trying to “tease” him or her. Ha ha ha!…?? Another excuse she offered was that she “got crazy with FOX News.” This lady is Katherine Harris. [AP]

    Sounds like a bitch to me

  2. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:29 pm, November 7th, 2008

    “got crazy with FOX News.” Is there any other way to be after watching Fox News? Either you’re crazy to watch it or you go crazy from watching it.

  3. JadedDIssonance says at 4:30 pm, November 7th, 2008

    And again, the comments are appalling. I’m getting bored.

  4. Larry Fine says at 4:30 pm, November 7th, 2008

    She also said, “can’t those moolies take a joke?”

  5. JadedDIssonance says at 4:31 pm, November 7th, 2008

    JadedDIssonance: You forgot to mention whether you were referring to the comments on this thread or those of the floridatoday.com article.

  6. How will fox and the gop handle people like this? Are they domestic terrorists or freedom fighters?

  7. hedgehog says at 4:32 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Did somebody strike out the side?

  8. hobgoblin of little minds says at 4:33 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Borat: Judging from the comments, freedom fighters.

  9. Blue Line says at 4:33 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Walnuts must be so proud of what he’s inspired…

  10. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:35 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Somebody had to do it, right?

  11. OzoneTom says at 4:36 pm, November 7th, 2008

    At “Kitty’s Place” you can get all of the “pink sugar” that you need.

  13. SayItWithWookies says at 4:39 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Republicans should at least stop trying to blame humor when they do stupid shit like this. C’mon folks — humor had an alibi. It wasn’t anywhere near you at the time.

  14. magic titty says at 4:40 pm, November 7th, 2008

    NObama?

  15. FreshCliches says at 4:40 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Hey, I watched Fox News for part of election night (strictly for the schadenfreude, of course).

    If Brit Hume is gettin’ y’all crazy and shit, you need more opiates than Rush Limbaugh, Brett Favre, and Courtney Love combined.

  16. pondscum says at 4:41 pm, November 7th, 2008

    obfuscator: All caps, poor spelling, incorrect punctuation: wingnut!

  17. american mutt says at 4:42 pm, November 7th, 2008

    The comedic stylings of David Duke. Order now and we’ll throw in Farrakhan Funnies.

  18. The Pumpernickel says at 4:43 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Right…because writing “KKK” on the wall totally makes sense. Jut a joke. No way someone could take that the wrong way. None whatsoever. Jeebus.

  19. mattbolt says at 4:45 pm, November 7th, 2008

    This reminds me of a funny joke! What did the white restaurant owner say to the black man? KKK! HAH! Eh, it translates better in person, what with the comedic timing.

  20. iwillsavethispatient says at 4:47 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Speaking of crazy people, have a look what Rahm’s Dad said:
    He said he was convinced that his son’s appointment would be good for Israel. “Why wouldn’t he be? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to clean the floors.”

  21. american mutt says at 4:47 pm, November 7th, 2008

    You know that time I called you a covetous jew, n-lover. My timing was off. You probably didn’t get it.

  22. “Wowee Zowee! I pranked him to death with tire iron!” …I love Walken.

  23. villageatrois says at 4:50 pm, November 7th, 2008

    If Palin had been elected, would it be a crime to write “XXX” on stuff? Letters to grandparents excepted, of course.

  24. mattbolt says at 4:50 pm, November 7th, 2008

    I feel bad for Kool-Aid, as in, the company. A full 90% of the time the tasty fruit beverage is mentioned on the internet, it’s in the context of politicians who are so wacky that they make their followers kill themselves because that is what liberals do, hah! Every time an all-caps AOL commenter tells someone else to DRINK TEH KOOLAID, LIE-BERAL SHEEPLE (note: this happens every 10 seconds) I’m sure the brand manager of Kool-Aid Drink Co. sheds a tear for his product’s sad image.

  25. ronaldpagan says at 4:51 pm, November 7th, 2008

    She was obviously just celebrating the prop 8 victory, k? K? K!

  26. mattbolt says at 4:54 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Guys, it’s a conservative sense of humor, you hippies wouldn’t get it. Very dry.

    Sometimes I’m so glad that comedy is in the tank. Did anyone ever watch Fox News’ version of the Daily Show, some shit called the Half Hour News Hour or something? I’ve never seen anything so unfunny. Like, funny wasn’t even in the same zip code when this thing was being written.

  27. heronimule says at 4:54 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Dear God, please let me get into graduate school so I can get the fuck out of Florida.

  28. GaryGraves says at 4:55 pm, November 7th, 2008

    It was a goof! (c’mon, ‘The Ten’ anybody?)

  29. proudcitizen says at 4:57 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Damn that Jim Jones, he ruined a good drink for everybody!

  30. obfuscator says at 4:58 pm, November 7th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: That would make about as much sense as “getting crazy with FOX News”, whatever the fuck that means.

  31. Merry Christen says at 5:00 pm, November 7th, 2008

    WTF? I mean, seriously - that comment about all the counties in Florida and how fucking lib’rul we all are - are you shitting me? I live in one of the counties mentioned, and this place has more rednecks than Alabama, more churches than Texas, and more Republicans than a gay parade. For fuck’s sake - I was pretty sure I’d be burned at the stake here if McWalnuts won. I’m still not too sure, so I keep my door locked and my guns handy.

  32. One Yield Regular says at 5:00 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Rather OT, but: Has Brit Hume ever laughed once, in his whole life? Even cracked a smile? What the hell is WRONG with that guy?

  33. JadedDIssonance says at 5:00 pm, November 7th, 2008

    mattbolt: I’ve been wondering about this. If some random conservabot wanders across wonkette, they would likely see it as satire, yet snarky and offensive. I have yet to run across a similarly themed site from the right that doesn’t make me instantly cringe at the lack of cogent thought being displayed, trophy-like. Does that place exist? Do I not understand humor?

  34. JadedDIssonance says at 5:03 pm, November 7th, 2008

    obfuscator: I smell a google keyword search brewing.

  35. SayItWithWookies says at 5:05 pm, November 7th, 2008

    villageatrois: No that’s okay, ’cause that’s how she spells her initials.

  36. Blue Line says at 5:05 pm, November 7th, 2008

    I thought the crazy would subside after a few days, but based on the batshit-insane statuses of my 3 conservative Facebook friends and the equally batshit-insane groups they seem to be joining, that doesn’t seem to be happening. How long before they’re literally frothing at the mouth?

  37. robanybody says at 5:06 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Hmmm. Obamaberry? Balanced, not too strident, a truly international bouquet. I’ll have to try it.

  38. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:09 pm, November 7th, 2008

  39. ManchuCandidate says at 5:11 pm, November 7th, 2008

    mattbolt:
    It was mostly “Look he’s a LIBURIL! Hee hee hee hee!”

    Cons in particular (not all, but I’d have to say most) can’t laugh at themselves. They take themselves and their views way too seriously.

    Many Liberals can’t either, but there are enough of us (who don’t have a stick up our ass) to get the joke.

  40. problemwithcaring says at 5:17 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Is this woman saying that watching FOX News turned her into a crazy non-funny racist? Because she wouldn’t be firsties.

  41. Ha, ha. Those McCainiacs, such scamps. It get’s better: http://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/content/news/2008/11/07/web264update1107.html

  42. Schmannity says at 5:20 pm, November 7th, 2008

    She has really let herself go since her defeat for the U.S. Senate

  43. 4tehlulz says at 5:20 pm, November 7th, 2008

    mattbolt: Even worse, the original “DRINK TEH KOOL-AID” at Jonestown wasn’t even Kool-Aid brand drink.

  44. Palin-Plumber2012 says at 5:21 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Looks like we’re gonna see 50 segments of “Patricia the Server” on Neil Cavuto’s show saying how good Palin’s tax plain is in 2012.

  45. MrsNateSilver says at 5:23 pm, November 7th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Reading that reminded me of my stint as a high school English teacher.

  46. Palin-Plumber2012 says at 5:25 pm, November 7th, 2008

    One Yield Regular: I’m sure he was alive and saw on TV when Bull Connor released those attack dogs on black people.

  47. ronaldpagan says at 5:26 pm, November 7th, 2008

    What? There are a ton of funny conservatives. Fox News is hilarious. So is George Bush, actually. You just have to be into really dark comedy.

  48. rocktonsammy says at 5:33 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Obviously this woman is a maverick.

    She needs to be stopped, like all mavericks.

  49. Texas2Step says at 5:38 pm, November 7th, 2008

    One Yield Regular: Botox. And dentures.

  50. OffTheRecord says at 5:52 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Blue Line: Watching people I barely know become mentally unhinged via their facebook status has been one of the most enjoyable things about this election.

  51. Then she winked and made everything okey-dokey, you betcha’.

  52. Blue Line: What ever happened to the “Right-wing only Posts Day” that was supposed to happen?

  53. Blue Line: Oh! You’re getting the batshit crazy Facebook friend statuses too? I made the mistake of making an offhand and mildly sarcastic comment to one of them — AVOID.

  54. Why didn’t she just carve it into her face? Work smarter, not harder.

  55. Automatic Daddy says at 10:34 pm, November 7th, 2008

    Say what you want, but if that’s her in the photograph, she is one hot mama! Like Ann Coulter mixed with Michelle Malkin! RRRR!

  56. Reefpilot says at 10:39 pm, November 7th, 2008

    wonkette, how’d you get an exclusive picture of the nasty old bitter?

  57. Erase that image of that old hag from your mind, and replace it with this! God but I miss those more innocent days.

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7844100221555213732

  58. She has a black co-owner? What’s the ethnicity of her other co-owner?

  59. CumaeanSibyl says at 12:25 am, November 8th, 2008

    PALIN/HARRIS ‘12

  60. AnaMarieCocks says at 2:36 am, November 8th, 2008

    I always say … there’s nothing funnier than a rib-tickling N-Bomb. Even better is a really good KKK joke.

  61. Magister says at 3:20 am, November 8th, 2008

    Obviously FoxNews made her crazy and unfunny, but why are the police involved? Why would anyone assume that a random Florida cop wasn’t in the KKK? Am I the only one, who saw Porky’s II?

  62. Blue Line: I have been quite entertained by the complete role reversal of my D and R friends. This time in 2000 and 2004 the Ds were all talking of fleeing the country and “this is what our retarded nation deserves, it’s getting exactly what it deserves” (which I feel is a bit more appropriate than saying “THIS COUNTRY DESERVES CHANGE! YOU HEAR ME!! YOU ARE GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVE” as an insult). Now it is the Rs talking of becoming ex-pats till the next election cycle.

    I am also loving my R friends choice of countries to flee too, so far Ireland has been fairly prominent. I’ve talked to some of my D friends who fled to Britain after the last election and they find fleeing to Ireland to surround yourself with Conservative culture quite humorous. I’ve never been myself.

  63. So that’s what Katherine Harris looks like without her face painted on.

    I liked Laura Dern better.

  64. psychedelicSludge says at 11:20 am, November 8th, 2008

    Florida. “Crazy with the FOX News.” And WFTV-ABC probably. She probably gets it from all directions down there.

  65. the invisible woman says at 4:40 pm, November 8th, 2008

    mattbolt: Actually there is one, and perhaps only one, genuinely funny Republican. His name is John McCain. Unfortunately, his funny bone just got rammed up his you-know-what last Tuesday.

  66. Sadly, my sister in Duval County, Florida, reports that at the hospital where she works, staff are no longer allowed to even mention President Elect Obama at work. Several patients apparently complained. WTF! What, they’re not going to replace Bush’s presidential picture with Obama’s because “it upsets the patients.” What country is this?

  67. Texmandie says at 3:51 am, November 10th, 2008

    Hutch: Have your sister watch “Goodbye, Lenin!” for some perspective :)

    If you haven’t heard of it, it’s about an East German guy whose gung-ho Communist mother goes into a coma right before the Berlin Wall came down, then comes out of it afterwards, and his efforts to make it seem to her like nothing had happened.

  68. Roschelle says at 7:11 am, November 10th, 2008

    It’s seems that Obama’s victory might very well divide us more than ever before. Surprisingly it’s not his opponents that are broadening the division but his supporters.

  69. From the comments: “If the black co-owner had put KKK up for the white co-owner and employees to see, there wouldn’t even be an investigation!”

    Umm, that’s not how the KKK works.

  70. Roschelle: … first, i’m confused. Is your blog meant to plagiarize this one http://michellemalkin.com/2008/11/06/new-national-anthem-my-president-is-black/ or just parrot it? Who the hell cares if these bigots are having a field day with it? I’m damn proud my president is black. And thanks for posting that because i’m going to get one of those badass shirts so i don’t gets a sunburn on my pasty white back.

    … second, people who don’t understand rap really should stop trying to be rap critics. You just have no idea about the context of the music attitude or lyrics. Honestly… printing the entire lyrics sheet from a Young Jeezy song? And calling it political commentary?

    “Pay All These Damn Bills Feed All These Damn Kids
    Buy All These School Shoes Buy All These School Clothes
    For Some Strange Reason My Son Addicted To Polos
    Love Me Some Spinach Dip Im Addicted To Use This
    And If The Numbers Is Right I Take A Trip Out To Houston
    A Earthquake Out In China A Hurricane In New Orleans
    Street Dreams Tour I Showed My Ass In New Orleans”

    so menacing and corrosive to the socio-political climate. the biggest issue i have with these lyrics is that he rhymes “new orleans” with “new orleans.” Hell, i loves me some spinach dip too. Does that make me a racist?

    you are ignoring what malkin’s ilk are doing, which is purposefully ignoring America’s history of institutional racism, and pretending that in this context, being proud that we have overcome a piece of this history to elect the first black president is the same as being proud that we have successfully excluded our former slaves and second-class citizens yet again. They are doing this on purpose because they themselves are racist. And so really, who gives a fuck is a bunch of racists are pissed off.

    Fuck them. Because I got a new Black President, and the teeshirt to prove it.
