As your Wonkette waits for the plumber to fix the burst pipe in its own terrible DC house this Sunday morning, we’re comforted to find that we’re not alone. An anonymous emailer sends in this picture, allegedly of the famous spy museum in D.C., suffering from frozen/busted water pipes. The museum remains open, apparently, and is maybe housing thousands of spy restaurant workers? [Washington Times]
Spy Museum Plumbing Destroyed By Arctic Weather?

I did a wikipeia search of White Knight. I’m guessing that he is upset because one of the 15 or so entries for White Knight includes a Klan reference. Your reference seems to have alot of time on his hands.
Duh, when Obama creates his new black shadow government which spies on us all and counts our rectal hairs, he’s not gonna want a gay museum around telling us how he does it.
Going to be in the 70s out here in California and I’m still thinking of getting a fire going in the fireplace. BRRRR!
We are all waiting on plumber’s crack, if you know what I mean, and I think that you do.
It would appear that the same construction company that built the police station in Baghdad built the Spy Museum. Maybe it was done intentionally so that the sheeple can get a true feeling of what it’s like to fight the war on terror.
This has to be the work of KAOS.
Someone call the French, the war on geese has begun:

[re=221639]proudcitizen[/re]: -500 for use of the word “sheeple” without humor or irony.
THE ROOSKIES ARE POISONING THE WATER. AND CLOGGING THE PIPES.
We have been under attack from rogue water pipes in PG Co. as well. This aligns perfectly with the popular wingnut conspiracy theory about Obama wanting to kill all the white people since PG Co. is known for its caucasian majority. We will all drown before the inauguration even ends, folks.
That is one crapfest of a ‘museum’. More about how hot Honor Blackman looked in a tight sweater than about the real work of spies turning over lists of commies to the government of Indonesia to have massacred.
[re=221638]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: Ah, D.C., the home of the best “plumber’s crack”, if you know what I mean.
I thought that was an “after” shot of the Wonkette Inauguration Ball.
I bet that fucker Robert Novak is involved
…hey people, where is the OBVIOUS “Joe the shit for brain Plumber” reference? Must I do everything myself?
Yes, Angry, you must. Some of us are both nursing world class hangovers and without coffee in our homes, so we’re looking to you to carry the torch of truth justice and snark. Carry on.
And, ahem, where are the party photos already???
Jesus, it’s a good thing your temperature didn’t get down to -22 like it did here, or the building would be exploding in great, sparkly showers of crystallized poo.
Um, ok.
White Knight
Description: Short – Creamy
Style: Short – Creamy
Glass: 5 oz Martini
Garnish: None
Method: Shake+Strain
Ingredients
1 Shot(s) Whisky
1 Shot(s) Coffee Liqueur
1 Shot(s) Drambuie
1 Shot(s) Cream
1 Shot(s) Milk
Frankly, I’m very offended by anything containing Drambuie. It’s a useless liqueur and should be confined to Scotland.
[re=221657]TGY[/re]: agreed regarding the Drambuie. Rusty Nails belong in one place- the wrists of Jesus Christ. That drink sounds terrible. But I’m in Virginia right now and drinking Yuengling so that’s kind of strange.
I think this operative has some kind of axe to grind. Maybe he was the victim of a sexual harassment lawsuit or something. A buttsecks violation would be fitting for Wonkette.
[re=221658]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: God damnit — I try to show you there are good local brews and you go back to that rotgut? For shame. Had fun at the party last night though, so thanks for inviting me.
[re=221654]official wonkette party lighter[/re]: …hope you had a drink or twelve for me!
[re=221660]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Excellent seeing you as well! I can most certainly be persuaded! Would you like to meet up later in the week when I return? Let me know. Sorry we left so hastily. Eleven hours of drinking will do that to you.
Wonkette commentators: drink with this man if the opportunity presents itself. You won’t regret it.
You all still in Seattle? Or is this one of those east coast shenannigans?
No spy museum? Where will the swarming hoardes go now? Oh, right, EVERYWHERE. Last night there was a line to get into Cafe Citron. CAFE CITRON PEOPLE. Christ.
Oh, and tangentially related: The Essential Guide to Not Being a Dick while Visiting DC for Inauguration.
[re=221666]bago[/re]: I’m in Richmond and heading up to DC tomorrow.
Screw this – where the party pix at???!?!?
[re=221647]Scandalabra[/re]: Yes, for a moment I thought the “famous spy museum” was Liz Glover’s yoga studio.
Ahem. I believe we were promised “a longer picture post tomorrowish”. I’m looking at my watch and it is definitely tomorrowish. Please post the dirty pictures! Don’t make me do my homework. Please, for the love of god, don’t make me do my homework!
Why isn’t everyone at the huge hoedown at the Mall? NPR has the democracyfest live if it’s too cold in DC. 71 degrees here in Austin.
chascates: Seriously. I have no excuse other than my lazy slobishness. Am in my cozy warm dc house watchin it all an th Teevee wishing I were crushed up against the rest of humanity.
HBO won’t stream the concert outside Murca! We here in Canada City can’t see your damned Concert of Hope and Unicorns. I want the Boss!
[re=221674]Dreadful Gate[/re]: Try cnn.com. I think they have a live feed.
[re=221675]chascates[/re]: I’m wrong. Guess there’s too much money to be made for a free viewing.
[re=221671]BadKitty[/re], [re=221669]cal[/re]: +1
Where is Jim Newell dancing in his underwear when you need him?
[re=221640]WagTehGod[/re]: Damn, I’m slow today. I missed it by this much.
Global warming? More like global COOLING hyuck hyuck hyuck.
Since it finally made it up to 20 °F here in Upstate New York, I didn’t need my coat when I went to buy essentials for the Steelers/Ravens game. Oh, and I live in the ‘Lake Effect’ zone.
On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial?
PRESUMPTUOUS!!!!!
“At least 90,000 people in parts of Prince George’s County were left without water yesterday as more than 20 water main breaks wreaked havoc there and across the Washington region.”

It appears fixing the aging infrastructure can start right at home for Hopey.
Should be sunny and 30 degrees here today. Oh, I forgot, you bitches haven’t got your heads around the metric system yet — make that 85F. Heh heh. xxx from ‘Straya.
He does have terrible taste in music.
I approve of the couture worn by the entire family today. I think that this is the first time I’ve ever looked at a first lady’s outfit with anything but disdain. I know Jackie was supposed to set the standard, but I don’t like vintage past the year 1959. I went to the Kennedy Library last week with my daughter – saw Jackie’s Inaugural outfit and the pink Oleg Cassini strapless gown……it just looked very tired……..although I’m sure that they were very chic back then.
[re=221634]shanemacgowan[/re]: I’d assumed it had something to do with its corporate finance meaning – and the fact that there’s none of them around, because every big corporation is in distress now. But maybe I’m a big nerd.
[re=221690]windupbird[/re]: Can we have a further conversation on First Fam couture? You seem engaged by the topic, as am I.
[re=221691]Lemming Caution[/re]: I was thinking it may involve the Klan’s infiltration of state, local, and eventually federal governments in the early-mid 20th century. Your theory is actually relevant, so it sounds more plausible. Nerds unite!
Windup: I think it was Roland Barthes who first put forth the idea that all politico-social phenomenon could be explained by the semiotics of fashion. I would like to put that to the test. Malia and her digital camera took the day.
I went to the mall today – Of course, you could only see the concert on Jumbotron but I’m glad I went. I am soppy for the whole people aspect- and also hoping George Clooney might be in the crowd. We were all hoping the eagles would fly around the mall once and come back. I also thought Beyonce could have shown a little respect and not worn skin tight leather pants- esp since Beyonce was singing America the Beautiful. What, did she hope they would change their minds and ask her to sing Single Ladies(cause I swear she was wearing the pants she wears in that video)
[re=221692]Scandalabra[/re]: Absolutely! I have very limited internet access today, but I’ll be back shortly with my own predictions as to what Michelle and the girls will wear.
[re=221650]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Um…Joe and his crew were supposed to be insulating the pipes two days ago, but unfortunately he was captured and shot as a spy in Israel. I mean, unfortunate for the people who wanted to go to the museum today.
It’s a commie plot!
[re=221701]NYNYNY[/re]: …wishful thinking!?
That the new America officially embraces Beyonce, makes me a proud American. I don’t have to be proud of shoplifting anymore.
Isn’t it obvious? It’s Spy vs. Spy!
