How many half-assed Sarah Palin costumes did you see last Halloween? Let’s remember all the dumb crap from 2008, in pictures, including this beautiful office shot by Miz Ginevra.
So maybe Ron Paul didn’t win the presidency, or the nomination, or any GOP primary election or whatever. But he did hold some lame-ass rally in Minneapolis during the Republican Convention Week in St. Paul. It was the greatest event your editor ever attended, and the tickets were free! All you had to do is walk by, and people would give you tickets.
Wonkette operative Katie A. made this fancy Obama Cake because people in Oregon cannot legally vote! So sad. But still, donut-cake!
And then Barack Obama and John McCain had a debate and … OMG WHAT HAS McCAIN BECOME? This tongue-lolling Hell Monster tried to kill and eat your Barack Obama, but failed, due to advanced age.
More YEAR IN REAR VIEW fun holiday posts, soon!

That Obama cake sure gotz a pertty mouth…
Am I really the only other person drunk enough to be ordering TRUCK NUTZ and waiting for Summer Heights High to come on? Yeah, I’m Deliverance!
The donuts got nothing on this…

The birthday cake we can believe in was half chocolate and half white, and quite delicious.
Fuckin’ Dubai.
Fuckin’ Trig.
I’d momentarily let the fact of how stupid Sarah Palin is slip from conscious thought. Thank you so much for reminding me, by saying her name.
[re=203958]aleks[/re]: Since our editor is a famous scholar, these collections will hopefully go into a prestigious book or two for the archives of every library in the world. May humanity never forget these fine moments of snarkeology.
Well, OK, but it would be nice to at least have some kitschy Onion-esque calendars, bathroom reading books, trucknutz coffee mugs etc.
I like Obama pie:

Well, maybe not so much since the Rick Warren thing…
[re=203960]Nanks[/re]: Me hears ya on the Warren thing. For the gayz and all.
But,
Fundies who want to give Ricky a spanking > Obamatards who want to give Hopey a spanking
And,
Chances that Warren will influence Obama 0%
Chances that Obama will influence Warren 80%
Yeah, Warren won’t change his mind on da gayz. But I think eventually, Pastor Ricky’s gonna keep moving to the center on other stuff, as the Religious Right tries to back off from their support of Bush and the GWOT before their kids start reading about the shame of the Bush administration in their social studies books. And Warren needs to keep his Saddleback full.
Have you heard that “Donuts and Bacon” song? I fuckin’ loved it! It’s a nice play on the Obama campaign logo, which looks like a donut with bacon. Because it does.

Also, you know what? Caroline Kennedy revealed her favorite positions to Politico. Who does she think she is – Madonna?

I miss the McCain zombie. I haz the sadz.
“No way unless you’re Tiny Fey” got lodged in my brain for a while.
I hope I’m missing an inside joke, and Ken does, in reality, realize it’s “due to.”
[re=203966]Colette[/re]: It’s a freudian slip. He wants to “do it to” someone of “advanced age”.
The photos of WALNUTS! in full flight will certainly scare off potential young Republicans for years to come. I might have featured ‘Rubber Glove Romney’ as well, but I digress.
First Uncle Fester, then Nosferatu. If only he’d stood for President of Transylvania- A ghoul we can believe in…
McCorpse as Tor Johnson.
The legendary Oompa Loompa/grieving bunny photo would be perfect for some holiday cheer.
[re=203966]Colette[/re]: It’s what Ken “does too.” Two wrongs make a rite.
People in Oregon can’t vote, but the can get medical marijuana and can get a doctor to help them kill themselves (after the appropriate 15 day waiting period and family notification). Overall, I think they are ahead.
[re=203954]Prof. Junk[/re]: Well, getting a cake like done is not a big deal- Shoprite(probably lots of other bakeries) will do an image of any photo or picture and then put the resulting image on a cake. Now this took talent(and some insanity) http://www.flickr.com/photos/kristinicole/2952860403/
[re=203971]Servo[/re]: Win! Mcain is Unearthly
Pretty measely photographic year end wrap-up, don’t you think? I mean, you left out so much of the cast of characters that made ’08 so great. Where’s the Huckabee family in their fat boy slim outfits? or Guiliani sneering like a weasel? Or Hilary McPantsuit with one of her wide eyed gaping happy faces? I just seems so incomplete.
[re=203979]Cape Clod[/re]: Dude, chill, I think more are coming. I mean, our Wonkette editors haven’t even had their coffee (chai tea? 8 ball?) yet.
I am eagerly awaiting the traditional Monday evisceration of the Noon-ster’s column.
Best porno photo of the year

I like the last picture. It looks like Obama just intentionally farted on McCain.
When I think great Obama cakes of the last year, this rises above them all: http://snipurl.com/8zrzn.
Mem’ries,
Burn the neurons of my mind
Faded Booze addled memories
Of the way they were
Mocking Zeppelins,
Of the Gold Standards they left behind
Fist Jabs they gave to one another
For the way they were
Can it be that it was all so insane then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If Palin had the chance to steal clothes again
Tell me, would she? Could She?
Mem’ries, may be hilarious and yet
What’s too annoying to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the insanity
We will remember
Whenever we remember…
The way they were…
the way they were…
The last line of the Anti Sarah Palin costume sign says “We don’t care if you’re a dude in a wig either.”
Half of Congress must have felt slighted.
“What Monster Did McCain Become” is hands-down my favorite post of all time EVER!!!!!!
[re=203989]suchsweetthunder[/re]: It does indeed take the cake!!!
Picture 2: “I want 20 McNuggets with the sweet and sour dipping sauce pre-mixed with the BBQ sauce! Here are my notes of legal tender, backed by Swiss gold, you paper-hatted UN stooge!”
Typical Republican. Going after Barry’s ass while simultaneously revolted.
[re=203985]Mild Midwesterner[/re]: Obama’s been too busy lately farting on Gays…
Can someone explain what the light blue frosting tastes like? I’m struggling to think of any light blue naturally occuring food product. Maybe its unicorns?
[re=204084]Bruno[/re]:
Tastes like Smurfs, which taste like chicken.
George’s Feb. 2008 visit to the Dark Continent: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/images/bush_africa_79810529.jpg
[re=204084]Bruno[/re]: Blueberries and Everclear
[re=204097]Servo[/re]: Smurfs: the other other white meat.
I had the misfortune of witnessing a number of the Paultards post-rally, and they were all about thirteen years old. Seriously, in my day, if we wanted to steal from our grandparents, we just took money out of Grandma’s purse or Oxycontin out of her medicine cabinet. THESE little bastards want to steal her entire social security holdings.
[re=203975]finallyhappy[/re]: You’re just jealous nobody bought you one.
I think you need to run the Santorum children of the corn concession speech picture again because, well, haven’t we been without it too long?
I never understood the rationale behind lazy Sarah Palin costumes, when an orange hoody and a little makeup landed you an easy Ashley Todd outfit, with the added bonus that there weren’t going to be a billion of them at the party.
