    Way to go, Newell. You just broke wonkette. On the plus side; Goats!

  3. ManchuCandidate says at 2:39 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Rick Santorum calls them “Friday Night’s Sure Thing.”

  4. That goat’s got DEVIL EYES!

  5. Walter Sobchak says at 2:41 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Shit, it’s fixed. As you were, folks.

  6. Sunfire says at 2:44 pm, April 28th, 2009

    VA is paying you in drinks and segway rides to pimp their magnificent state?

  7. Country Club Jihadi says at 2:44 pm, April 28th, 2009

    You need to go to the Livestock Exchange in Marshall, VA for the real shit.

  8. Serolf Divad says at 2:44 pm, April 28th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate:

    Damn, I thought that was my little secret.

  9. Mahousu says at 2:44 pm, April 28th, 2009

    It’s got to be tough to have that much fur when it’s 100 degrees outside.

    No, that wasn’t a suggestion that Sara shave her head.

  10. JohnnyMeatworth says at 2:46 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Which one is Arlen Specter?

  11. Dave J. says at 2:47 pm, April 28th, 2009

    I like that goat, aka “Silky Goat II.”

  12. Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! says at 2:47 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Mahousu: A Brazilian, however, would be just fine.

  13. Gopherit says at 2:47 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Who knew? There really are sheeple.

  14. sanantonerose says at 2:49 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Is Segway pronounced with a hard or soft G sound? I have a bet riding on this.

  15. Johnny Zhivago says at 2:49 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Stay away from the pigs. And the Mexicans…

  16. ManchuCandidate says at 2:52 pm, April 28th, 2009

    sanantonerose:
    Hard G like the G in GOB.

  17. Mr Blifil says at 2:53 pm, April 28th, 2009

    sanantonerose: It’s “Guh.” Se-”guh”-way. As in: Ball and G-ag.

  18. V572625694 says at 2:55 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Come on, Jim’n'Sara, post something obscene that’ll make the state regret inviting you.

    Dave J.: +1

  19. Lascauxcaveman says at 2:55 pm, April 28th, 2009

    sanantonerose: Is Segway pronounced with a hard or soft G sound? I have a bet riding on this.

    Hard G sound. A good way to remember it is think “Hard to look cool if you are within 50 feet of one of these things.”

  20. iwillsavethispatient says at 2:55 pm, April 28th, 2009

    WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

  21. Tommmcatt says at 2:56 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Ah, this article made me feel blissfully confused and totally like I have no idea what anyone is talking about, kind of like meetings at work.

  22. Scarab says at 2:57 pm, April 28th, 2009

    You know that little voice in your head that said, “Maybe I shouldn’t post this story?”
    I’m just saying, what’s next photos of your shoes and one of your cat.

  23. Not a Country Bumpkin says at 2:57 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Fer gosh sakes, them thar are SHEEP, not goats. Sorta changes the perspective, huh?

  24. sati demise says at 2:58 pm, April 28th, 2009

    My boyfriend is related to Commodore Uriah Levey, the jewish guy who saved Monticello.
    Owned it for 70 years before granting it to the state of Virginia.
    A well kept secret even now ’cause of teh jewishness,
    do tell, any current references to Levey at Monticello?

  25. Cape Clod says at 2:58 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Did you find Terry McAuliffe passed out next to the goats with an empty bottle of Bacardi?

  26. TaxWallStreet says at 2:58 pm, April 28th, 2009

    As a Richmonder, trust me guys..go to Cafe Rustica on 5th and main downtown, and be sure to hit Carl’s Ice Cream on the the way fom as you pass through Fredvegas

  27. SayItWithWookies says at 2:59 pm, April 28th, 2009

    They’re just waiting for a table at the local Denny’s.

  28. chascates says at 3:00 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Have you met any real Americans yet?

  29. magic titty says at 3:03 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Is Jim Newell’s ass considered a junkette?

  30. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:03 pm, April 28th, 2009

    iwillsavethispatient: Don’t wake up the Sheeple! They are terribly violent animals.

  31. suchsweetthunder says at 3:03 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Three whore diamonds.

  32. Vartan84 says at 3:04 pm, April 28th, 2009

    You are having the best day ever!!! I am so insanely jealous it is NOT even funny!

  33. I knew that the advertising income stream for Wonkette was a bit light, but really folks, spring for the Motel 6. Fewer fleas.

  34. Tommmcatt says at 3:06 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Scarab:

    Shoeblogging is totally underrated.

  35. Mustang says at 3:06 pm, April 28th, 2009

    What the hell are you guys doing? I know you are on some lame junket, but what the hell?

  36. davesnothere says at 3:06 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Are they worshiping at the shrine of a giant deformed boner?

  37. Monsieur Grumpe says at 3:07 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Sheep, Segway tours, sheep, Virginia, sheep, Washington’s skull and sheep. You Wonketteers sure live the high life.

  38. junkscience says at 3:13 pm, April 28th, 2009

    haha this Rick guy on CNN just totally cracked me up by asking some dumb Rep what the hell he meant that Americans are wanting freedom. haha

  39. Country Club Jihadi says at 3:13 pm, April 28th, 2009

    magic titty: Well, he’s sure got junkette in the trunkette.

  40. chascates says at 3:20 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Be sure to ask any older residents if they know the words to to the song “Marching Through Georgia.”

  41. TheDelano says at 3:24 pm, April 28th, 2009

    How’d you guys gain access to Eric Cantor’s office?

  42. WadISay says at 3:52 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Photos like the above serve the same purpose as Girls Gone Wild vidoes in many parts of the South.

  43. tavella says at 3:55 pm, April 28th, 2009

    sati demise: I don’t recall him being mentioned on the tour I took, but it was focused mainly on Monticello as a working plantation/slavery/Jefferson’s architecture. The Levys have a page on the website, though, and per Wikipedia Rachel Levy’s grave has been marked.

  44. Jean Hotman, Marquis de Villers-St-Paul says at 4:07 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: ‘G’ is pronounced more like in G-d, I think.

  45. ServiceJervixJuice says at 4:37 pm, April 28th, 2009

    davesnothere: Oh look, those talented goats fashioned their own ritual phallus.

  46. assistant/atlas says at 5:40 pm, April 28th, 2009

    My God, why did Virginia tourism ever think it was a good idea to have the snarkiest site on the planet go on a junket? Unless they’re operating under a “any snarky PR is good PR.”

  47. davesnothere says at 7:06 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Or is that the South “rising” again?

  48. Can I get a postcard made of that? I take it that this is Virginia equivalant of the ‘Mexican Nakid on the Beach with 2 Hats’ postcard

  49. DC Hates Me says at 7:50 pm, April 28th, 2009

    Goddamn Ren Faire, Civil War Reenacting State. History comes undead in Virginia.
