Oh, great. Now we’ll NEVER get alt-text on his posts.
Over 50 million people voted for Jim and Sarah K Smith — mostly for Sarah K Smith.
When do we getz to fuck him?
Congrats Jim Newell, you hot ginger bitch, you.
Jim Newell is a local DC blogger? I thought he was serving a Fellowship studying Muslin-Jesus People relations at the prominent religious think-tank Wonkette
Hey – props for being a white guy and winning best of anything in DC! And an alright writer to boot.
What is a Prince of Petworth, pray tell?
[re=274309]hockeymom[/re]: I actually googled that, thinking maybe I could make a joke out of it. Didn’t work out that way, but I think he just talks about local stuff of a non-political nature.
Congrats, Jim! I noticed you changed the teleprompter yesterday — what’s up with that?
It’s all good, but I still miss Princess Sparkle Pony.
[re=274298]HoboNutz[/re]: There’s no “H” in that Sara, yo.
[re=274299]magic titty[/re]: I call next.
Damn, Newell’s WON THE AFTERNOON twice today.
Congrats but don’t go all Ed Henry on us now.
Tonight, Jim Newell, we drink to you.
Which means you’ll probably have several more alcohol-related fatalities on your conscience.
Congratulations!
Standing Ovation.
Snark triumphs again.
[re=274309]hockeymom[/re]: He blogs for LOLcats.
Gratz Jimbo, NOW SHOW US THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact that Jim and Sara don’t get to ask questions in the White House briefing room, but Jake Tapper, is a crying shame.
Thank you all for going to vote in this thing Ken made up one day and then forced you to go and vote at. But I will not be returning my bonus, I will quit Wonkette, and I will travel the country giving money to poor people, because everyone is so mean!
Jim Newell, Ginger Demon, best of DC.
Would Sara mind if Newell does the champion’s Elephant Walk?
Jim Newell Rules!
Trucknutz for all!
I don’t even want to think about the lash that would have come down on all of us if he had lost to “Prince of Petworth.”
Wow! First a black man becomes President and now a ginger scores Best Local Blogger.
Apparently we SHALL overcome.
[re=274331]Jim Newell[/re]: Jim, you are the John McCain to Sara K Smith, our Sarah Palin. If she had a jock, you’d be carrying it.
[re=274328]jagorev[/re]: JAKE TAPPER WHAT?
Huzzah! Buttsecks all around!
Well done, Jim Newell! I hope the heady success of youth will not blind you to the inevitable disappointments, failures and grinding miseries of later life. Enjoy!
Jim, now that you’ve bested the Prince, we’re going to have to think up a royal title for you. Lord AltText?
[re=274309]hockeymom[/re]: The Prince of Petworth is Princess Sparkle Pony’s bitch. Obviously.
[re=274342]tunamelt[/re]: I think he just misplaced a comma.
“Jake Tapper is a crying shame.”
*/fix-ed
Has anyone tested Jim Newell for performance-enhancing drugs (vodka)?
[re=274342]tunamelt[/re]: I meant to say “does”, but typing “Jake Tapper” made me too furiously angry to concentrate.
Today, we are all hawt ginge Jim Newell.
Jim, your blog is very nice, but I can’t help but notice that your participation is much smaller than that of your nearest competitor, Uppity Woman.
I’m sure you are aware that people voted for you in order to spite the Uppity Woman blog because they are/were Hillary Clinton supporters. I can see from your posts that you are honorable as well as intelligent, and would probably rather win an award the old fashioned way, rather than as the result of hatefulness and divisiveness.
Therefore, I have a suggestion for you that will undoubtedly make you a hero with thousands of “puma fans” and increase your blog activity: why not step down and decline the award for the reason that you don’t wish to condone the “fixing” of the races by the older, bigger, bully bloggers? There are hundreds of small puma blogs and I guarantee you that you would achieve hero/cult status among them if you took such a bold stand for integrity.
If you disagree, that’s fine, and I hope you won’t take offense. Best wishes to you!
[re=274331]Jim Newell[/re]: You’re real? I thought you were a hologram placed here by the Illuminati to instigate the social change that will lead us into the times after the rapture.
And the award for Blog With the Largest Number of Cynics in its threads goes to…
This can’t be true. Do we remember mob voting on this one?
[re=274351]Jukesgrrl[/re]: WTF??? You wanna award the highly coveted Lord Alt Text sobriquet to JIM NEWELL, the ONLY one posting here who’s too damned lazy to come up with any Alt Text tags???
Ken Layne, SKS, Elizabeth Askew, Malaka Gharib and even lowly intern Juli Weiner ALL provide such comic relief, but NOT NEWELL!!!1!
Newell is one shiftless, no-account, deadbeat ginger.
[re=274370]Canuckledragger[/re]: Every time Jim callously refuses to post alt-text, David Denby wins.
i smell warblog. ….or JenniForHillary’s stale fat fold sweat.
[re=274364]Rumproast[/re]: Hooray! The PUMAs are back! We thought y’all were just in hiding after the election. I even suggested yesterday that someone call to make sure you were ok (no heads in ovens, or anything of that nature). Welcome back!
And yes, kudos to our very own boy toy!
[re=274370]Canuckledragger[/re]: Sorry. I don’t have OCD, so I never really kept track of who did and who didn’t. I bow to your superior observatory skills. I’m currently distracted by how much milk Ed Henry puts in his tea. (Insert tea bagging joke here.)
[re=274370]Canuckledragger[/re]: Everything you wrote is 100% true.
[re=274380]Jukesgrrl[/re]: You DON’T have OCD but you’re distracted by Ed Henry’s lactose intake? You sound REALLY fucked up.
My kinda girl. Wanna have coffee some time?
Congratulations, Jim. You’ve made me proud(er)!
[re=274364]Rumproast[/re]: Touche!
Congrats to JIM our FAVE WAR BLOG GENERALE!!
The prize for winning Best Local Blogger is a case of Hobo Beans and 1,000 make-believe Bachmann Bucks.
I think I can speak for all Pacific Northwest Wonketteers that Jimmy is our favorite blogger in the other Washington, too.
Well done/played/gamed/rigged, my fine Ginger friend.
first he WINS THE CYCLE. then he wins the City Paper Poll. kid is on a roll.
[re=274364]Rumproast[/re]: You are a bad, bad man.
Go, Jim, go! Now if only this prize could give a ginger a soul.
[re=274378]Red Zeppelin[/re]: I was just summoning the power of the tilda…
http://interacc.typepad.com/synthesis/2009/01/and-the-nominees-are.html?cid=144439430#comment-144439430
All I know is that is shit like this that keeps raising Jim’s profile with the Secret Service.
[re=274378]Red Zeppelin[/re]: Rumproast is a blog that has devoted many months to the destruction of PUMA’s.
[re=274364]Rumproast[/re]: WIN. FUCKING WIN WIN WIN.
Jim Newell can suck my cock.
(That’s not an insult. I just wanted to make it clear that he had open-ended (haw haw!) permission to suck my cock. As do all Wonkette editors, and readers for that matter, and any animals that aren’t too “bitey”.)
My point is, congratulations, Jim. You cock sucker. (I hope?)
[re=274367]El Vista[/re]: All the computers at the library and the Starbucks wifi next to Tent City crashed.
Hobo beans for Jim, with sauce.
[re=274378]Red Zeppelin[/re]: Yes, many of us wear Rumproast jackets. Rumproast’s site contains explicit examples of the PUMAs inane and pathetic existence . And much much more , of course.
How could this happen? Confluence said Jim was a PIG!
If Hillz were Prez, this would have never happened because sexism will be gone forever
[re=274364]Rumproast[/re]: I’m sorry about your cat, truly.
Yeah for Jimmeh! I already wanted to have my way with you because of the Ed Henry article. So this is just icing on the cake
I can hear Ken’s envious weeping from here. Sad.
Jim won because he went to Yale. Or was it Harvard? Eh, same thing.
Think of it as just a down payment on the Nobel.
Oh Jim, now that you’re being given the credit you deserve, could you float me a dimebag?
Liz called. You are sooooooooooooo Moonie-bait, now, Newell.
Today we are all Jim Newell.
[re=274364]Rumproast[/re]: Well played, sir/madam. Well played!
Someone needs a yard sign:
I’m Jim the #1 Blogger.
Don’t Tax Me for Working Hard!
So this Newell guy thinks hes the ‘cock of the walk,’ hes the ‘cock of nothing!’
But what are they saying about his victory over at RedState?
You deserve to win based on the Noonan posts alone. The rest are icing on the cake.
Best Local Blogger/Blog
Yup. Well deserved. I have always enjoyed Newell’s blogs about spying on local DC’s schoolyards and visiting the men‘s room stalls at Dulles. Keep it coming, Jim.
[re=274334]The Cold Sea[/re]: That’s pronounced “ging-er”.
Seems like just yesterday Jim was in diapers. I think he was calling it research.
Congrats Jim.
If he had any balls he would turn it down. “I obscenity in the milk of your mother’s obscenity!”
Congratulations Jim, You have always bee our Queen of Hearts!
[re=274435]Jim Newell[/re]: Thanks, Jim. Greatly appreciated.
Jim who? Oh right. Congrats Mr. Newhall!
