  1. I, for one, am glad that GIANT CAMPBELL BROWN has given so much $ to provide me with a forum to discuss assfucking, politics and trucknutz.

  2. BarthexDeRosa says at 8:28 am, December 15th, 2008

    CAMPBELL BROWN SMASH!!

  3. Anita Cocktail says at 8:30 am, December 15th, 2008

    YAH! The giant Campbell Brown with her airbrushed nipped in waist! It makes me want to throw a shoe!

  4. ManchuCandidate says at 8:32 am, December 15th, 2008

    My god, it’s a coup! The horror of political machinations and the gnashing of teeth and tearing clothes!!! The sanctity of the PM is sacred! Won’t some one please think of the… Huh?

    Oh right. Somalia. I thought this was going to be another thread about Canada City. Must put earnestness away.

  6. Oh, quit your complaining about Campbell Brown. This isn’t some fantasy land where people can select their advertisers. These are TROUBLED TIMES. Since every other website I read is folding or cutting writers, I am glad my Wonkette is still OK, thanks to the $$ of a pretty lady.

  7. Enturbulate says at 8:48 am, December 15th, 2008

    Oh, lookie! If you scroll around a little you can line up the horizontal CAMPBELL BROWN banner right between the upper right CAMPBELL BROWN banner and the giant screen-eating CAMPBELL BROWN. WHEEEEE!

  8. Campbells Brown Thong says at 8:49 am, December 15th, 2008

    I’m still holding out for a somewhat naughtier image of GIANT CAMPBELL BROWN. I am entirely willing to compromise my values for “No Bias, No Bull, No Bra.”

    It could be worse: Wolf Blitzer in The Saturation Room.

  9. Enturbulate says at 8:50 am, December 15th, 2008

    Origami:
    You must me a management type! So smart.

  10. I call on Hussein Barak Obama to pardon this journalist on Jan 20th.

  11. Enturbulate says at 8:51 am, December 15th, 2008

    BE. Dumbass.
    Me not smart.

  12. finallyhappy says at 8:55 am, December 15th, 2008

    The Washingtonpost also has a full page Campbell ad- but because of the photo on the next page- she looks like she has a large scar on her right cheek(face)

  13. MathewBrooks says at 8:57 am, December 15th, 2008

    I for one am SHOCKED to learn that Somalia actually has a President, Prime Minister or a Parliament.

  14. charlesdegoal says at 8:57 am, December 15th, 2008

    Still no word on Wonkette about Madoff, the Katarina of Palm Beach.

  15. Monsieur Grumpe' says at 8:57 am, December 15th, 2008

    Am I the only one who wishes the Shoe Chucker had 3 or 4 legs?

  16. It would be even better if CNN could develop some eco-driving like game involving Cambell Brown. That was brilliant and Wonkette would win that again.

    Or, a Dubya shoe ducking game, which Wonkette would come into last place.

  17. Enturbulate says at 9:03 am, December 15th, 2008

    Throw Campbell Brown at W?
    No Bias. No..BULLSEYE!

  18. rubybuckaroo says at 9:11 am, December 15th, 2008

    Whoa! Campbell Brown is big enough to date.

    On another note, the shoe throwing has that delicious inference of an Islamic insult.

    Yes, Monsieur Grumpe’I wish the guy had been a millipede.

  19. Serolf Divad says at 9:18 am, December 15th, 2008

    A White House spokeswoman, Dana M. Perino, said Sunday…

    Dana, “A White House spokeswoman”?!?! WTF?!?! She’s the damned WH press secretary! Looks like someone just graduated from journalism school.

  20. Blagojevich as the new PM of Somalia! All problems solved!

  21. Campbells Brown Thong says at 9:37 am, December 15th, 2008

    Kingbee: Mebee. I’m promoting the idea of Blago as ambassador to Zimbabwe.

    I honor Borat’s idea of a Wonkette/CNN/Campbell Brown game. WIN/WIN/WIN

  22. i find if very disturbing that the white box that i’m supposed to type my comments into slides up and covers Campell Brown’s face when I go to type. Does this mean she can’t hear my plea for more bias and more bull at CNN?

  23. WagTehGod says at 9:54 am, December 15th, 2008

    Sorry, I love the floating Campbell Brown. It reminds me of my bedroom ceiling.

  24. Wall Street Fat Cats will be able to stay fat, thanks to executive pay loopholes in bailout provisions.

    Color me unsurprised.

    The Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush got thrown in jail.

    Will they throw the book at him?

  25. Campbells Brown Thong says at 10:11 am, December 15th, 2008

    “No bias. No bull.” Surely we can come up with a more intriguing slogan to attend our beautiful Campbell Brown.

    Lo! Albino Buns!
    O, Ball Bunions!
    Lanolin Bob Us!
    La Nubbin — Solo!
    Ulnas Bob Loin?
    Snub a Lob Loin?
    Bi-Ball? Noon? Us?

  26. Larry McAwful says at 10:28 am, December 15th, 2008

    I’m a big fan of bias and bull. That’s why I come to Wonkette. I only turn to CNN if I want to know who the latest white woman who disappeared into the woods is.

    I’m not a big fan of crazy wallpaper or its hangers.

  27. elburrito says at 10:36 am, December 15th, 2008

    People are misconstruing the shoe-throwing incident. He was really screaming: “this is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, DAWG!” It was a friendly gesture.

  28. SayItWithWookies says at 11:13 am, December 15th, 2008

    rubybuckaroo: “I only regret that I have but two shoes to throw for my country.”

  29. HuddledMass says at 11:50 am, December 15th, 2008

    dougbob: …very disturbing that the white box that i’m supposed to type my comments into slides up and covers Campell Brown’s face when I go to type.

    I’m only typing this for the momentary relief.

  30. According to Henry “Ass Kicker” Paulson, Somalia’s fired prime minister will now fall under the executive pay restrictions of Treasury’s bailout program. But Wall Street bankers not so much.

  31. Gary__Cooper says at 1:25 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Have they executed the shoe thrower yet?
