    Letterman is awesome!

    Fisher Price glasses. I don’t care HOW much they cost.

  3. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 5:32 pm, November 19th, 2008

    What the fuck is this? Is it “incredibly unattractive woman day” at the wonkettes?

  4. Blue Line says at 5:33 pm, November 19th, 2008

    I actually think his picture on the front page of CNN looks disturbingly like a younger Hugh Hefner.

  5. Violenza says at 5:35 pm, November 19th, 2008

    I gotta say, I really like his glasses and I wish all the spec jealousy would cease and DESIST.

    Need help!!! I’m trying to remember . . .

    Jerry Springer’s show had people come on to disclose their infidelities to their significant other.

    Jenny Jones’ show had people come on to get makeovers and surprise(!) or taunt(?) people who had previously made fun of them.

    Maury Povich’s show had bad parents come on with their children. The children would then be sent to boot camp.

    Ricki Lake’s show had large women come on and participate in a “fashion show” followed by a “B” celebrity performance.

    I can’t, for the life of me, remember what Sally Jesse’s show was about?

  7. I’d know you anywhere, Larry Craig.

    Violenza: LEAVE DASCHLE ALOOOOOOONE!!!!

  9. Hmm. She looks much better as a man

  10. I severely doubt that anyone with the capability of choosing to wear those glasses out in public has the capacity to design a proper health care plan.

    Was the second photo of Daschle at Drag Bingo? His make-up is really crappy

  12. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:48 pm, November 19th, 2008

    I’m telling you hipsters wear the same glasses, it’s HORRIFYING.

  13. metropolitan says at 5:52 pm, November 19th, 2008

    damn, back in the day daschle was quite a hottie (for washington that is). he used to look like a combination han solo with steve mcqueen.
    now he looks like david letterman in sarah palin drag.

  14. Why does wonkette hate elephantitists

  15. The Pumpernickel says at 5:55 pm, November 19th, 2008

    Or he could just be German or Norwegian or something. They wear glasses like that. Grandma fashion = uber chic.

    Gorilla in heaven, what the hell happened to Sally Jesse?

  17. El Bombastico says at 6:11 pm, November 19th, 2008

    Cape Clod: She had her face replaced with Silly Putty. Only explanation.

  18. messickc (ROLL TIDE!) says at 6:14 pm, November 19th, 2008

    Has Sally Jesse had a stroke? Her left face looks angrily droopy, but the right side looks… content?

  19. what tha? says at 6:15 pm, November 19th, 2008

    Is Bob Hope back from the dead? The hair threw me for a second, but, yep, it’s him!

  20. messickc (ROLL TIDE!) says at 6:16 pm, November 19th, 2008

    messickc (ROLL TIDE!): Or could she only afford a half of a face lift?

  21. CankleBiter says at 6:17 pm, November 19th, 2008

    Miller: I will not give you the satisfaction of reading your supposed blog until you add Wonkette to your “Buggery” or “Wankerey” since you advertise on Mr. Laynes dime all day long.

  22. messickc (ROLL TIDE!) says at 6:25 pm, November 19th, 2008

    [OT]
    I wanna see “Where I’m Wearing” but all I get is a clear gif image when I click the ad. Also.

  23. loquaciousmusic says at 6:25 pm, November 19th, 2008

    True story: my dad went to college with Sally Jesse Raphael. Then, in the 1980s, he was on Sally Jesse Raphael. (He had just written a book—he wasn’t, like, banging his cousin’s sister’s fiancée.)

    You are now TWO DEGREES OF SEPARATION from Sally Jesse, people. Savor the moment.

  24. itgetter says at 6:32 pm, November 19th, 2008

    Cape Clod: Excellent exclamation!

  25. Harry Potter called and wants his glasses back…

  26. psychedelicSludge says at 6:37 pm, November 19th, 2008

    She almost clawed Amy Goodman’s eyes out once, right? Or was that Tom Daschle?

  27. slinkimalinki says at 6:42 pm, November 19th, 2008

    The Lucky Republican: sally jesse exposed infidelities twice a week, did makeovers once a week, and spent the rest of the time sending troubled teens to THUNDERTEEN!!!!11!! boot camps. leastaways, that’s how i remember it.

  28. psychedelicSludge says at 6:52 pm, November 19th, 2008

    So in the Great Mupper Caper, there’s this recurring joke that Fozzie and Kermit look alike. And there’s the wonderful scene where Kermit is sitting in the park and a father and daughter walk by. The daughter says “look Dad, there’s a bear!” and her father says “No Christine, that’s a frog … bears wear hats” Wow. and now thanks to google, I now know that she died. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0625242/bio

  29. psychedelicSludge: Suddenly I feel all Fozzie inside.

  30. Pat Pending says at 7:02 pm, November 19th, 2008

    Oh, Sally Jesse, the plastic surgery… not so much.

  31. Mustang Sally, you better slow that face droop down . . .

    Good gawd, she’s even uglier than before! [I'm talkin' 'bout the inside too.]

  32. President X says at 8:20 pm, November 19th, 2008

    As head of Health and Humane Services, former teevee senator and rap artiste Miss Sally “Tom” Dashbonnet knows just how important is one’s sexuality and wardrobe to healthy living in the US and A.

    (S)He has the mysterious knack of switch hitting back and forth between the butch suit look and the more demure and demonstrably chatty, rosy-cheeked high gloss personality that is so winning inside The Beltway.

    Everyone’s raving about the new Vice President’s pick of Sally Jelly Tom and Dasher to the antique cabinet in the off-White House. Yay!!!

  33. Special Agent Jack Mehoff: Can we take a vote to not have that day. That day is every day in DC…

  34. rocktonsammy says at 9:29 pm, November 19th, 2008

    I just got a pair of red rimmed glasses, I think I look much more intelligence.

  35. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 9:44 pm, November 19th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts:
    It’s like you read my mind.

    Clearly this is a pander attempt directed towards the liberal hipster demographic. What’s next, NoBama Hussein addressing the nation in trucker hat and ironic T-shirt?

  36. CuntryFirst says at 10:02 pm, November 19th, 2008

    Is it just me or does Sally look like Walnuts?

  37. Sally Jesse was a guest on the “Not My Job” segment of the National Proletariat Revanchism socialist radio program, “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.” She was a pisser. Which doesn’t excuse her usual TV fare, e.g., “Doggie Love, a Need for New Federal Legislation?”

  38. Didn’t some gay one get killed on her show?

  39. Ted Perino says at 11:26 pm, November 19th, 2008

    I just saw Mitch McConnell on the television thingy. A wig. Red glasses. I think that such things might come easily to him.

  40. Frig. Beer goggles are no defense.

  41. 102415: No. Larry Craig alive and still tapping.

  42. Are we SURE that’s not Dustin Hoffman on the right?

  43. Y’all will never understand my TommyLove.

    He will get us all health care—with lollipops!

  44. DoctorCulturae says at 12:56 am, November 20th, 2008

    No, no, no. The pix on the right is Lieberman, so he can go to the store in CT to buy his next serving of crow.

  45. BigBrainOnBrad says at 7:50 am, November 20th, 2008

    Is that really Sally or is it Terry Garr on the set of “Ghost World”?

  46. Why can’t these women age gracefully? Look at Judy Dench and Helen Mirren. Both aging naturally and they look great.

  47. BigBrainOnBrad: I’m pretty certain it’s the Lady in the Radiator from “Eraserhead.”
