    I’m still partial to anchorbabes.blogspot.com. All the benefits of Faux News without any of that annoying sound.

  2. loquaciousmusic says at 10:34 am, December 17th, 2008

    That’s it. I’m telling my boss I’m sick and taking the rest of the day off work.

  3. Her hands are huge! What, no whore diamonds?

  4. greatgooglymoogly says at 10:34 am, December 17th, 2008

    Yawn. Next flavor, please.

  5. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 10:35 am, December 17th, 2008

    I gots a fever and the only prescription is more Campbell!!!

  6. You should just get it over with and replace the cartoon Wonkette drawing at the top with Ms. Brown’s face.

  7. mephistopheles jefferson says at 10:36 am, December 17th, 2008

    Now I’m going to have to find naked pics of her. Or of a reasonable facsimile. Or just a brunette.

  8. Larry McAwful says at 10:36 am, December 17th, 2008

    I wonder: is her name really Campbell? Or did she decide to take two first names so people would associate her with that other famous TV newsist, Murphy Brown, who does the exact same thing?

  9. When are we going to get a lifesized Rachel Maddow? That’s change I can believe in.

  10. Does the Wonkette whoring know no bounds? Please Wonkette… we love you… you don’t have to bend over for Campbell Brown and her strap-on to make a measly 5 golden Ameros anymore… We’ll take up a collection to send you to night school so you can become a nurse or a vibrator repair mechanic… you know, good wholesome jobs.

  11. Larry McAwful says at 10:39 am, December 17th, 2008

    rmontcal: That cartoon Wonkette girl is pretty hot, too. I was surprised when I found out that it’s not actually a caricature of Ana Marie Cox. I miss Wonkette’s pet cat, though.

  12. Come here a minute says at 10:40 am, December 17th, 2008

    Campbell’s father was a democratic state senator. Why isn’t she the new senator from New York yet?

  13. ManchuCandidate says at 10:40 am, December 17th, 2008

    I’m sorry Campbell. I like you and all, and your face haunts my dreams but if I want to see pics of attractive female anchors then je t’aime les anchoreuse Francais. Oh la la Melissa!

    http://ballsiest.com/sportsblog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/melissa-theuriau.jpg

  14. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:40 am, December 17th, 2008

    ….I think Cambell Brown’s constant and unyielding glare is giving me a brain tumor.

  15. Aquannissiwamissoo says at 10:41 am, December 17th, 2008

    Me want see terrorist baby bump !!!

  16. Noodle Salad says at 10:43 am, December 17th, 2008

    How does Campbell Brown achieve “No Bias”? It sounds like a Zen state. Is her soul a mirror onto reality, reflecting the truth through our television screens? It would seem that she would either have to say nothing about a story, or provide an infinite amount of context in order to ensure that she has not hand-picked her facts in a biased fashion.

    Venerable Campbell Brown, if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, is that bullshit?

  17. Vewol Mevemont says at 10:43 am, December 17th, 2008

    8pm. Weeknights. CNN. 8pm. Weeknights. CNN. 8pm. Weeknights. CNN. 8pm. Weeknights. CNN.

    I have this strange urge to turn on CNN tonight at 8pm. I could seriously go for some no bias/no bull. Why is that?

  18. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:43 am, December 17th, 2008

    I’m seeing a little bias, and a little bull in that article. WILL CAMPBELL STAND FOR IT?

  19. Watchreader says at 10:43 am, December 17th, 2008

    Before looking at these pictures I never noticed that she either has a really small frame or a GIGANTIC head.

    A sexy gigantic head.

  20. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:44 am, December 17th, 2008

    Can we get an animated Campbell in something along the lines of the dancing iPod Zombies?

  21. norbizness says at 10:44 am, December 17th, 2008

    Why, it’s the Vapid Talking Head Married To a GOP Propagandist Who Came In From The Cold! Carrying a newspaper like uncle Richard Cohen told her!

  22. mephistopheles jefferson: with photoshop, ANYONE can be made a hot nekkid supermodel..

  23. suchsweetthunder says at 10:46 am, December 17th, 2008

    So, I’ve been giving this topic sincere thought. There were great moments, to be sure: It was Campbell’s labeling of the McCain campaign as sexist for their handling of Palin that led to the gift-that-keeps-on-giving Couric interview.

    But now Ms. Brown is on the air giving her special comments, that have nothing special about them, every damned day; also, she’s invaded my webiness. Brown has become Keith Olbermann with less facial hair.

    Campbell, perhaps I’m being ungrateful. Perhaps the Couric interview merits more good will? Perhaps I should give your saucy looks another shot. . .

    But at 10:44 a.m. (meaning I’ve been avoiding work for an hour and forty-four minutes thinking about this) Such Sweet Thunder officially proclaims: “Campbell Brown has jumped the shark.”

  24. Larry McAwful says at 10:46 am, December 17th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: Eh bien, il va falloir que je me mise de chercher les nouvelles chez les réseaux français! Ce n’est pas la seule… euh… ancreuse(?) chaude que j’ai jamais vu. Il nous faut trop d’imagination avec nos présentatrices américaines! (Sauf avec Fox, au moins…)

  25. Aquannissiwamissoo says at 10:48 am, December 17th, 2008

    Me wants Bernadette Stanis.

  26. That pic of Katie Couric makes her look kinda hot!!!!

    Campbell and Couric liik like some sort of spies or something, sultry, seductive spies… wouldn’t mind going ‘undercover’ with either of them!

  27. SayItWithWookies says at 10:50 am, December 17th, 2008

    grendel: Oh get real — politics without whoring is like Chinese baby formula without toxic waste. I, for one, welcome our Brownian overlady. And why doesn’t CNN put her whole show on the web instead of only letting me watch her two-minute commentary?

  28. Anybody else see a resemblance to a certain Sara K. Smith?

  29. BarthexDeRosa says at 10:52 am, December 17th, 2008

    Single best alt-text ever.

  30. She’s like the Great Eye of Sauron.

  31. I have a strange, irresistable urge to lick a pair of Converse sneakers…

  32. I just wonder what camera trickery Vogue had to use to shrink her down from her colossal sidebar dominating size, to appear in normal human proportions. And I don’t want any bias or bull in the answer as our God Queen Campbell has decreed.

  33. HipHopOpotamus says at 10:55 am, December 17th, 2008
  34. ManchuCandidate says at 10:56 am, December 17th, 2008

    Larry McAwful:
    Oui. Oui. Pardon moi, je parle anglais maintenant. Especially because Melissa isn’t a ditz either from what I’ve read up on her.

    In my imagination, les femmes de Faux are engaged in lesbian sex play while “Not Steve Douchey” sits in the corner screaming about how traumatized he feels about it.

  35. seriesoftubescleaner says at 10:56 am, December 17th, 2008

    With regards to Campbell, as our beloved Barry would say… “ENOUGH!”

  36. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 10:56 am, December 17th, 2008

    So who is the Campbell thing, and how do I get in on it?
    Is it a teevee show? When’s it on? What channel?
    I hate these elitists ads that don’t really tell you what it is the sponsor wants you to buy or do.

    At least the American Swim models told me to fap.

  37. EnBuenOra says at 10:56 am, December 17th, 2008

    And still no one ever mention’s C-Span’s own Greta Brawner (nee Wodele).

    http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l291/enbuenora/greta-3_640×480.png

  38. Larry McAwful says at 10:58 am, December 17th, 2008

    suchsweetthunder: She’s giving special comments now? Good lord. Keith Olbermann won’t do special comments every day, even though MSNBC has requested it. He only does it when it moves him.

    Keith Olbermann is also biased. However, Olbermann makes no bones about having bias; that’s what he’s all about. Campbell Brown is apparently trying to seem like a journalist but is also offering opinion pieces now? You can’t have it both ways, Campbell.

    If someone gives a special comment without bias, then what the hell’s the point?

  39. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:01 am, December 17th, 2008

    Meh. Color me unimpressed until Men’s Vogue does a similar photospread featuring Anderson Cooper in a Jil Sander micromini, Keith Olbermann is a Dolce pantsuit, and Matt Lauer sporting a pair of four-inch Blahniks.

  40. Larry McAwful says at 11:02 am, December 17th, 2008

    EnBuenOra: No kidding! I talk about her all the time. I probably mention her on some web site or message board at least once a week. I’ve brought her up here before. That woman drives me wild.

  41. SayItWithWookies: We’re supposed to be better than the politicians we make fun of. How else can we feel smugly superior?

  42. Campbell Brown is Wonkette’s Big Brother, and she is watching all of us.

  43. She’s in so many pictures here, maybe she ought to tack “Naomi” on as a first name!

  44. JohnnyMeatworth says at 11:06 am, December 17th, 2008

    my Vilsack is now officially in an uproar!

  45. frumious_bandersnatch says at 11:07 am, December 17th, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: What you said. With a side of utterly.

  46. I wonder if Campbell has a profile posted at Shaadi.com?

    Or am I the only person seeing that ad?

  47. SayItWithWookies says at 11:11 am, December 17th, 2008

    grendel: Well, mocking the site’s sponsors is a good start. But only on weeknights at 8pm on CNN.

  48. I WILL DO AS CAMPBELL SAYS. I WILL DO AS CAMPBELL SAYS. BE GONE TO THE BOWELS OF FIERY HELL YE WHO WOULD TRAFFIC IN BIAS AND BULL!

  49. What does Campbell Brown have against Len Bias? Can’t a dead brother just lie in peace?

  50. CNN advertising No Bias, No Bull on Wonkette??? Has their media buyer considered standing in a cold shower and shredding $100 bills?

  51. Larry McAwful: Or so they would associate her with the soup that is made from sick chickens raised in tiny cages and slimey tasteless noodles? Seems more likely.

  52. Larry McAwful says at 11:18 am, December 17th, 2008

    HipHopOpotamus: Ha! Thanks; that made my morning. Flight of the Conchords is one of the best things they’ve ever put on television, ever. (Of course I get the reference your moniker makes.)

    My favorite episode is the one with the Indian fruit vendor who was prejudiced against New Zealanders. That was great.

  53. They are so fucking over selling her. It’s like the US automotive industry….see a good thing…make it the basis of the company and run it into the ground.

  54. Campbell who?

  55. jetjaguar says at 11:22 am, December 17th, 2008

    She blinked!!!

    I swear to FSM she blinked…

  56. V572625694 says at 11:22 am, December 17th, 2008

    Jesus, whatever you do, don’t read the article. Serious brain damage awaits. As Original Wonkette once said, it proves that it is possible to give a woman a blowjob.

  57. Cokie Roberts is all I have to say. Campbell Brown will never go away. I’m sorry for the children who will never know a world without her photoshopped pictures and unbiased opinions. What she has against cattle of the male gender is anybody’s guess.

  58. No Michelle Gielan? Assholes!

  59. badco/LoJ says at 11:24 am, December 17th, 2008

    Pissing off Tucker Bounds and taking the McCain camp to task for their handling of Palin was pretty rad. Now her “Thirty Seconds of Nagging Over Some Painfully Obvious Shit” routine has grown tiresome.

  60. Reading her bio, I see that Campbell Brown and I are both getting boned by Republicans.

  61. poptarts ' says at 11:26 am, December 17th, 2008

    Oh, of course Campbell Brown– the la-di-da Homecoming Queen of CNN. Nancy Grace and Jane Velez- Mitchell are left to seethe bitterly in the wings. Watch your back, Campbell.

  62. LazloHollyfeld says at 11:26 am, December 17th, 2008

    THAT GUY HAS LONG TEETH.

  63. Larry McAwful says at 11:27 am, December 17th, 2008

    WadISay: We all were, ever since the 1994 elections.

  64. Theodorick Of York says at 11:30 am, December 17th, 2008

    This is an outrage!
    How can Vouge do a piece on Famous TV Newsladies wiwhout including Sean Hannity?

  65. randomsausage says at 11:31 am, December 17th, 2008

    Campbell’s hair is luxuriant. I bet she uses Pert Plus.

  66. Mustang: At higher levels, the initiates are told that Bias and Bull are ok, as long as they are in the service of Campbell. But this is secret knowledge. It costs $500,000 to be initiated into this level, and then your aura is officially BROWN and you will be able to pass into the dimension of CNN after death.

  67. LazloHollyfeld says at 11:32 am, December 17th, 2008

    And PS - Kate Bolduan? The step-sisters make her clean the ovens the day Vogue rolled through?

  68. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:43 am, December 17th, 2008

    randomsausage: Oh random, you didn’t read the article! Campbell doesn’t go for that dollar aisle Pert Plus shit. She goes for the bourgeois Oooh La La Tresseme (but only because CNN won’t spring for Frederic Fekkai or Paul Mitchell Salon).

  69. How can we get some images of Campbell Brown on the left side of the screen? Then she’d have Wonkette totally under her control.

  70. Kev-O-Tron says at 12:00 pm, December 17th, 2008

    EnBuenOra: She has a face like a frying pan for crying out loud.

  71. The Campbellina has “redefined common sense” in the opinion of Vogue. No Bias, No Bull, Lots and Lots of Bitchiness.

  72. EEEEK! With the addition of the picture on the posting, I see FOUR Campbell Brown pictures on my computer screen, which is about to explode.

  73. Cape Clod says at 12:11 pm, December 17th, 2008

    My first reaction to that picture was “Why is Kate Jackson standing in front of those posters of Campbell Brown?”

  74. thefrontpage says at 12:17 pm, December 17th, 2008

    What a bunch of CRAP! You want real journalism? Pick up a newspaper. These guys are nothing fancy window-dressing who get layers of make-up slapped on, sit in a chair, and read TelePrompTers! Give us all a break! You want real journalism? Talk to a reporter who shows up at a daily newspaper at 9 a.m., gets an assignment to cover a daily story, and is told to have that story in to the line editor on his desk by 5 p.m. that day. You want real journalism? Talk to newspaper investigative journalists who spend months–MONTHS–on investigative stories that end up actually breaking news and causing changes–investigative pieces such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News and The Los Angeles Times all produced in 2008. This, folks, is real journalism. Forget pretty anchorwomen. Forget the make-up. Forget television. You want real journalism, pick up a newspaper and read it.

  75. gambypants says at 12:24 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Campbell Brown haunts me in my dreams. She has set up camp at Wonkette and now she is in PRINT, too?!

    http://www.charlietueats.com

  76. Mr.BorgtoYou says at 12:25 pm, December 17th, 2008

    why does the war on christmas gift guide have a dude humpin a unicorn on it?

  77. bloodsprite says at 12:25 pm, December 17th, 2008

    is it just me .. I keep on reading her ad on the right “NO BIAS” as “NO BRAS”

    I get disappointed each time I re-read it correctly.

  78. suchsweetthunder says at 12:35 pm, December 17th, 2008

    thefrontpage:
    The New York Times: Bankrupt;
    The Detroit Free Press: Bankrupt;
    The Detroit News: Bankrupt;
    The Los Angeles Times: Bankrupt;
    The Washington Post: Soon to be bankrupt.

  79. RabidHamster says at 12:38 pm, December 17th, 2008

    What this site needs is more Campbell Brown. That said, her nose looks narrower every day. Is she getting a photoshop nosejob, or is she morphing into Michael Jackson?

  80. OffTheRecord says at 12:46 pm, December 17th, 2008

    I can’t see the little arrows that let you switch between posts. Did Campbell Brown eat them? Or is my computer just being mean today.

  81. stopmebeforeitypeagain says at 12:47 pm, December 17th, 2008

    To hell with Campbell Brown. The Vogue supermodel is hotter than any of them. Why don’t they give her a job on CNN? And, of course, plaster Wonkette with her face?

    Where, indeed, is the vision CNN — and Wonkette — so desperately need in these troubled times?

  82. thefrontpage: Randolf Hearst is that you?

  83. suchsweetthunder: You want bankrupt? Check out the Detroit auto industry. Check out the financial services sector. Check out Bill’s diner just down on the corner. Forget the prolonged implosion of print media. The big three, baby. That’s real bankruptcy.

  84. SayItWithWookies says at 12:54 pm, December 17th, 2008

    WIDTAP: I was guessing Richard Cohen.

  85. RabidHamster: I dunno, but after 2 days of making various remarks about her, I finally actually got up the nerve to look at her, I mean really look at her big old face there, and she is really homely! By God!

  86. randomsausage says at 12:55 pm, December 17th, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Thanks for the info. You really are a queer Elvis! Not that there’s anything wrong with that……

  87. When they were working up that flick about Jessica Savitch, the gamey working title was “Lady Reads the News.” The greatest names in America belong to those who merely sit and look dignified while they read someone else’s copy from a teleprompter. In the Golden Era, Steve Allen would on occasion impulsively lead his entire studio audience across the street to the RanchMarket. That’s improv! Can Campbell Brown do that?

  88. Jamie Sommers says at 1:24 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Larry McAwful: Her name is Alma Dale.

  89. The sad thing is that it’s working. This ad campaign, I mean.

    See? We’re all talking about her.

    Now she has name recognition on Wonkette.

    Today, Wonkette. Tomorrow, the world.

  90. proudgrampa says at 1:41 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Advocatus_Diaboli: Well said!

  91. So if we have banished the image of Campbell from appearing with our Wonkette, can we feel doubly smug or just hotness deprived?

    Support the Coops! Down with Brown!

  92. EnBuenOra says at 1:53 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Kev-O-Tron: Whatever.

  93. But Wolf Blitzer appears in the index to ‘Fateful Triangle.’ Top that, Ms. Brown!

  94. WIDTAP: Blasphemer!

  95. Aurelio: The Giant Campbell is the light! All nonbelievers will be left behind when SHE comes to earth and walks among us. NO BIAS! NO BULL! Amen.

  96. The good thing about worshipping the giant Campbell is that graven images are okay…even encouraged.

  97. assistant/atlas says at 2:12 pm, December 17th, 2008

    I have one question and one question only: Where oh where is the Campbell Brown Blingee?

  98. sevenrepeat says at 2:24 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Does Miss Camps B own Wonkette? She really is everywhere, and her “maybe it’s mabeline” eyes follow me throughout my work cube. Let’s paste Anderson Cooper everywhere. He’s much better looking and I’d rather have his eyes following me around in my overly gray cubical.

  99. randomsausage says at 2:24 pm, December 17th, 2008

    d4g33z: We must give thanks to the CNN ubergruppenfuhrers that it is the fragrant Campbell, not the bear-like Wolfie, who towers at the side of our browsers.

  100. I am in total overload. This is the most amazing sight ever - 6 CBs! I always wanted to do twins and now I can’t even comprehend 6 of them. There would be starbursts, but I’m reasonably sure she’s not a trannie.

  101. sevenrepeat: I’m curious to understand how you define an overly gay cubicle. If you really want to impress me, I think we all want to see pixxx of said cubicle.

  102. chascates says at 2:47 pm, December 17th, 2008

    How about this: keep Campbell Brown but fix it so we can draw mustaches on her.

  103. I discovered late last night that I can do amazing things with her in Mobile Safari by grabbing her with a finger and shaking her up and down.

  104. superdave says at 3:07 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Why don’t we go ahead and rename this place Brownette?

  105. bearbait says at 3:10 pm, December 17th, 2008

    I gotta admit, the campaign is successful. I had no friggin’ clue who she was before she started staring at me for hours every day. Now I’m wondering if we’re engaged or something.

  106. Datsun510 says at 3:13 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Servo: Nerd.
    Well, okay you’re right.

  107. Datsun510 says at 3:24 pm, December 17th, 2008

    WIDTAP: No, it’s C F Kane.

  108. hobospacejungle says at 3:29 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Campbell Brown in Vogue looks like Spiderman’s girl, Kirsten Dunst, with dark hair.

    How did they do that? Of course our dear Kirsten has bigger boobies, at least until Camby gets more preggy. But I don’t really want to see a picture of pregnant CB in a white wet t-shirt. Non-pregnant Kirsten Dunst in a white wet t-shirt…mmmmmmm.

  109. bearbait: She admitted yesterday that she really looks twenty years older than that. Is that fraud if she doesn’t match the ad, or is it covered by the general agreement that everything on TV is a fraud by definition?

  110. wickedlittledoll says at 4:02 pm, December 17th, 2008

    NILF….News I’d Like To F*k!
    http://democralypsenow.blogspot.com/

  111. Vewol Mevemont says at 4:12 pm, December 17th, 2008

    qaf: You’re assuming that was the real Campbell. Despite her omnipresence on this site, I’m somehow doubt that she’s trolling Wonkette to respond to Vewol Mevemont. Thus, a fake Campbell admitted that her picture was a bit retouched — which is to say, a fake admitted that a fake was fake, which is a paradox that will probably rip a hole in the space time continuum.

  112. Vewol Mevemont says at 4:16 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Vewol Mevemont: “I’m somehow doubt” — learn uself some grammur, retardid baby!

  113. thefrontpage says at 4:18 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Newspapers = real journalism.

    Reading teleprompters caked in make-up: Not real journalism.

    That’s the point. It’s true.

  114. Vewol Mevemont says at 4:22 pm, December 17th, 2008

    thefrontpage: Caking a telepromter in make-up sounds like a bad idea.

  115. sevenrepeat says at 4:44 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Borat: it actually says overly “gray” cubical, but being that i am gay it does become an overly gay cubical. i would be the only accessory in it that makes it overly gay because i work for the department of interior and i have pink hair.

  116. sevenrepeat says at 4:59 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Borat: but anyone who wants to see my overly gray gay cubical can see it on my myspace page under my “my mobile photos” album. there you can listen to my band and see a picture of me blocking the view of campbell brown on the wonkette page. http://www.myspace.com/se7enrepeat

  117. randomsausage says at 5:34 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Campbell Brown: No Bias. No Bull. Own Teeth.

  118. Mr. Todd says at 6:49 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Niyazov has been dead for awhile now, and also he wasn’t nearly as hot. Now its Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, who punishes people by making them remember his name.

  119. theycallmeonion says at 7:31 pm, December 17th, 2008

    She totally looks like my favorite of Charlie’s Angels, Kate Jackson, in that photo.

  120. Freelance Minion says at 11:01 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Well at least the site isn’t overrun by pictures of Jack Cafferty. Or Olbermann, I’d have to get a bigger monitor for that head.

  121. thefrontpage: Hey….relax…..this is nothing new…

  122. G. Friday says at 7:18 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    I don’t see any life-size picture of Campbell Brown. What are you guys talking about??
