Wonkette Officially Wins Best Libtard Blog!

by Jim Newell

Hold me closer Ms. Murphy!Voting ended, reviews of CHEATING have been run, and the winners have been certified: Wonkette is your Best Libtard Netroots Blog of the century! Hooray! Thank you to all readers for your daily votes; Warring is never an easy effort and many people literally died in this latest crusade. Congratulations to our fellow members of the Axis Powers, too, for dominating their categories: Rumproast, ~ synthesis ~, Comics Curmudgeon and Driftglass. Also, be sure to add such collateral damage victims as Grace the Spot, Jon Swift and Blue Gal to your RSS subscriptions AT ONCE. This, friends, is what feminism looks like. [Weblog Awards]

Hola wonkerados.

To improve site performance, we did a thing. It could be up to three minutes before your comment appears. DON'T KEEP RETRYING, OKAY?

Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you.

Holy fuck that’s one fat Raccoon! I read that obesity is contagious, but I never though it spread to the wildlife.

The least you can do is lay a wreath of remembrance at that first Constipation Confluence (Do you see the injuries I suffered at that epic post? My commenting skills have forever been tainted by the urge to type bad puns. never forget) post for those commenters who never made it out. Never Forget.

[re=220101]Vewol Mevemont[/re]: Fighting Pumas is never a waste of time. They won’t stop until we’re all a bunch of whiny, bitchy losers, also.

I noticed Sully also won his category (beat out the tin-foil types at DailyKos). Does this mean Ken/Jim & Sully will be having a joint victory celebration party?

I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO January 15, 2009 at 5:33 pm

I’ve checked out Effluence, Uppity Warhog, and CougarPAC and all three are going on as though the webbies never existed. I guess that whole bit about being able to prove we were cheating never came off.

In other news, Jim and Ken have something else to be proud of; in the eyes of the PUMAs, they’re the equivalent of someone who sold his fourteen year old daughter into marriage.

Kev-O-Tron January 15, 2009 at 5:45 pm

THE WAR IS OVER!!! Now I’m going to go sing the winners song:

From the halls of Confluenza,
To the shores of Digby;
We will fight our country’s PUMAs
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for Hopey and freedom
And to keep our houses clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of Wonkette trolling machine!

Our fags are unfurled to every sleaze
From the dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every blog and MySpace
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Confluence
And in the PUMApac scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The Wonkette trolling machine.

Here’s a beer to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to perv;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And have never lost our nerve;
If the Kos and Murphy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By the Wonkette trolling machine.

CuntryFirst January 15, 2009 at 5:45 pm

PUMA IMPOTENCE!

WadISay January 15, 2009 at 5:49 pm

VP–or is it VC?–Day. We’ll all remember where we were when we heard the news. Teh Wonkettes get resume fodder and possibly new gigs at The Corner, the vanquished Pumas get some sort of Marshall Plan, and the commenters can talk about how they fought on St. Crispin’s Day.

I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO January 15, 2009 at 5:51 pm

I wonder what it must feel like to keep getting your ass handed to you over and over like that. First the primaries, than the general election, now this. You start to get the impression that if you pitted a PUMA against a blind quadriplegic with an IQ of sixty in a persistent vegitative state in a best of five tic-tac-toe match, the smart money would not be on the PUMA.

That’s gotta be a very shitty feeling indeed.

No, you wasted an hour or so. They’ve wasted their entire lives.

Also, I’m QQing over Pharyngula and actual science sites losing out over climate change denialists. I guess at least it wasn’t something outright creationist or anti-vaccinationist, but I haven’t really read the crappy site to verify.

cal January 15, 2009 at 6:30 pm

Oh god, I just made the mistake of looking at the PUMA site….

They call themselves “the most effective group of political activists in a generation”!

And one of their stated goals is “strengthening anti-femicide laws and drawing attention to the crisis of woman-lynching in the United States”.

Can this be for real? Or is it a Fox news parody?

And now, the super serious winner of the super serious weblog award for Best Liberal Blog, voted on by a bunch of serious people, Wonkette! Here’s the Wonkette Voltron to deliver the acceptance speech.

[re=220213]cal[/re]: Most effective at losing and constantly portraying themselves as helpless victims? Yeah, probably.

It’s quite amazing — the Confluence site has Friday open threads dedicated to griping about how life is unfair. I kid you not. They’re called gripe threads or some such nonsense. It takes conscious effort to be that pathetic.

Scandalabra January 15, 2009 at 6:51 pm

I’m devastated that Cute Overload beat out Fuck You Penguin for Best Pet Blog in the final stretch, but that sorrow pales in light of the glory of Wonkette’s triumph over the PUMAs, (and TPM, for that matter). If the last three months have taught us anything it’s that victory if fuckin’ sweet.

[re=220213]cal[/re]: “They call themselves “the most effective group of political activists in a generation”!”

They simply have a different definition of “effective” than you may have expected.

Congratulations Jim, on your vanquishment of the rest of the feeble pack. But, why no mention of Slammin’ Nate Silver’s total annihilation of the field in the Best Political Blog category? Jealous much? I thought he was everybody’s pretend boyfriend…

hobospacejungle January 16, 2009 at 12:08 am

If you thought the Pumas’ crazy was exemplified by the earlier post, you gotta see this one, a big fat whinefest for riverchucky being embarrassed by mean wittle Wonkette picking on her. They can’t figure out why Wonkette could be so terribly mean and spiteful. Couldn’t have anything to do with her racism and childish ideological contradictions. Certainly not.

robanybody January 16, 2009 at 12:22 am

Finally bucked up, took a Compazine, set a trashcan by the armchair, and belatedly read more than just snippets of a few (loser) Confluence posts. God is great. Such bitter, miserable little humans, thrashing around like soaked rats in their septic Hillaryhole. When I left, I felt like I’d been gangraped by a mob of spittle-chinned, pie-hording grannies. “Confluence” is a term that usually means “a merging.” Here, however, it refers to a reeking pit of postmenopausal angst, the end.

I go scrub up now. Not go back there again. Bad place. Bad.

First, you make fun of Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter who is simply trying to do the right thing and should really be praised and held up as an icon of family values unless you see something ironic in that, in which case you should respect her privacy and leave her alone! And now, you mock and invade the privacy of some poor PUMA girl just because she posted a YouTube video declaring her stupidity for all to see on the fucking internet.

Also, she’s fat. Like really, really fat. Also.

villageatrois January 16, 2009 at 1:27 am

[re=220582]DeLand DeLakes[/re]: The PUMAs seem not to have read Wonkette much. They are oblivious to the female posters, on whose behalf they whine, and who consistently tear them a new one, as if the PUMAs had a functioning first one.

Likewise they are oblivious to many Wonkette males, who are “not-so-much” to their fatty female tissue parts, because they don’t see those lovely fat wobbly parts in their airport bathrooms. But then, those guys are not looking so much for fat wobbly menopausal lady bits. To be honest: who is? Maybe Melissa Etheridge wants to write another sad song about a depressed woman who lacks the courage to love her? WTF? WTF^3?

I’m traveling in some vehicle
I’m sitting in some cafe
A defector from the blogwars
That shell shock snark away

There’s comfort in melancholy
When there’s no need to explain
It’s just as natural as the weather
In this moody sky today

In our possessive commenting
So much could not be expressed
So now I’m returning to myself
These things that riverdaughter suppressed

I see something of myself in every PUMA
Just at this moment of the world
As snow gathers like bolts of lace
Waltzing on a ballroom girl
