If they go all Jenna NOW, we as a nation should collectively ground them and withhold their allowance.
Haha, way to insure Wonkette gets no White House press credentials..evah! But then Wonkette never seems to be worried about that, so never mind.
“Shoot them” as they go into a J. Crew store??!!!11!! I mean, even the LAPD almost waits until their arms are laden with Korean HD TVs. Also.
Ken is my favorite for being an unapologetic self-promoter. Maybe you should marry Meghan McCain, Ken!
Just kidding, nobody deserves that kind of punishment.
[re=233055]Terry[/re]: Not to worry; hardly any bar in DC will serve them at their age. Not more than a dozen or so, tops.
Kids just aren’t as fun to blog about when they’re not falling down drunk, doing meth, and co-copting their parents’ pregnancies.
Why haz u not posted their Facebook pages?
Please, please, please don’t bore my by covering Malia and Sasha. I mean… that’s what Goddamn Cute Overload is for. Next you’ll be posting Youtube videos of kittens chasing their tails and shit like that.
Notice that Wonkette is the first place the mainsteam media looks for irresponsible, sensational coverage. You must be so proud!

Those girls are going to grow up fast in the next 8 (hopefully) years, and they are going to grow up pretty. If I was their father it would be an all-girl Catholic School sandwiched between field hockey practice for then next, oh, 15 years or so. They could be around boys sometime in their mid-20′s.
Boys are the root of all evil.
Go all Jenna?!? What kind of fate are you predicting for these innocent girls? Ooooooooh, wait, Bush, not Jameson. Still.
[re=233083]V572625694[/re]: I think Layne just emails people without provocation to give them his “two cents”.
Will I be banned if I say “I’d hit that”, or will I be banned if I do not say “I’d hit that”?
Christ, a “few” years? When they’re 15 and 11 or whatever? Great.
Shouldn’t ‘go all Jenna’ be ‘go all Bristol’?
[re=233104]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: No — “Go all Jenna” means to marry a beady-eyed Republican tool. Anyone who does that deserves to have a target on their back.
Kids are fair coverage if they make a public spectacle of themselves, if they are used by the campaign, or if they work for the campaign. Otherwise, who cares. That being said, let’s just hope that Obama’s kids are smarter than their predecessors and won’t go all “Jenna” on us in a few years.
But Ken Layne, managing editor of D.C. gossip blog Wonkette, said the Obama girls’ age and public behavior should dictate any coverage.
Come on Ken, what is it? Are we a gossip blog, a humor blog, a news blog or a war blog? I know you never asked to be a war blogger, just as Bush never asked to be a war president, but you have your chance to join Jim in his suicide pact and go mad with power while keeping all the Wonketteers in line with fear. Like Don Rumsfield, I think is my duty to advise you to go for it.
[re=233135]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Wonkette is all things to all people.
[re=233135]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: What is Wonkette? Why, We are Won(kette).
Anyway, I vote humor. The ‘best liberal blog’ award kinda makes me cringe. That’s like giving The Daily Show ‘Best News Program’.
[re=233090]Iggy Plop[/re]: If Obama can’t keep ‘em off the pole, I have no chance in hell.
Until their first drug bust or homocide by vehicle, ignore the kids. Stick with Mr. Nine-Fingers, the household chef and whatever whimpy Shih Tzu mom and dad have the Secret Service steal from William Kristol.
As long as the Obamas teach their girls not to forget underwear when they go out in public, they should be fine.
[re=233116]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Wait, what? I thought Fred Thompson’s wife was named [Jeri?
If the Obamas were decent parents they would adopt a 16 yr old, drug addicted, gang banger, to draw fire away from their two kids. The new member of the Obama familly would also bring some much needed diversity to stuffy Sidwell. It’s a god’am sitcom.
I personally think Wonkette should hold it’s fire until one of them has their first knock down drag out cat fight.
Well, which one is Wonkette? Broadcasting or cable?
CuteWARblog! Mor blud, warz n merders, plz. ^_:_^
Quoting Layne? Was Harvey Levin busy?
…here paparazzi and gonzo bloggers may be less inclined to restrain themselves.
Yes, better beware of all those “gonzo bloggers” with their mescaline and their antiquated journalism references.
