    The Archbishop of Canterbury seriously needs to trim those eyebrows.

  2. Todd Mecklem says at 9:08 am, July 13th, 2009

    What’s with the photo of Palin plunging a sharpie in the chest of a child? Satanic rituals shouldn’t be photographed…it’s a rule. I’m right off my breakfast now…

  3. ManchuCandidate says at 9:09 am, July 13th, 2009

    Wow. I realize that Sarah P and I have something in common except when I end up shaving my head there is an off chance (very small one) I “might” look attractive.

  4. Fuck, fuck, fuckity-fuck, fuck! I feel so much fuckin’ better now. I know, I should watch my fuckin’ language.

  5. charlesdegoal says at 9:12 am, July 13th, 2009

    The BBC headline, “Obesity link to same-sex parent,” seems to imply that the children of gay and lesbian couples are obese. Thanks for the clarifying rephrasing, SKS.

  6. ManchuCandidate says at 9:13 am, July 13th, 2009

    Fucking swearing is a goddamned motherfucking emotional outlet for dumbfuck ole me. Better to fucking swear than be one of those crazy son of a bitches who bottling that shit up and then go on a batshit killing spree with a motherfucking AK-47.

  7. Sessions: “We’re gonna be dicks to Sonia just ‘cause we can.”

  8. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 9:20 am, July 13th, 2009

    swearing helps ease the pain.

    Fortunately, buttsecks hardly hurts at all anymore, and I kinda like the shame and sobbing.

  9. dum librul says at 9:23 am, July 13th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: I can’t wait for the tape to be released of our favorite frontier trash tearfully shaving her head so that Ashton Kutcher can run out and tell us how we’ve all been punked by letting Britney Spears run for VP.

  10. Mild Midwesterner says at 9:23 am, July 13th, 2009

    “swearing helps ease the pain”

    Dick Cheney must feel that standing on the Senate floor is like lounging on the fucking beach.

  11. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:27 am, July 13th, 2009

    “Her hair had thinned to the point where she needed emergency help from her hairdresser and close friend, Jessica Steele.”

    Hairdresser I can understand, but what did Jessica’s help entail? Hair plug donations from her arm pits?

  12. charlesdegoal says at 9:28 am, July 13th, 2009

    Also, aren’t most Church of England ordained bishops already gay?
    And what is the Archbishop doing at Hogwarts?

  13. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:29 am, July 13th, 2009

    Naked Bunny with a Whip:
    A sand based lube will bring back that first time feeling. So I hear.

  14. John Cornyn: “Sonia has some splainin’ to do.”
    Excuse me, senator. The whole fuckin’ W administration has some splainin’ to do. Good luck trying to escape your well-deserved raking, repukes.

  15. totoro says at 9:32 am, July 13th, 2009

    Like how the GOP is bringing a White Firefighter to the confirmation hearing—the one who got Racial Justice from the SC after the racist lady shafted him. He will talk about why we should build that fence, in the water, to keep the Nuyoricans out. Because who are you going to believe on the jurisprudence of Title VII? The White Firefighter or your cleaning lady?

  16. Autochthon says at 9:37 am, July 13th, 2009

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: Um, it’s sounding like maybe you’re not doing it right?

  17. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:38 am, July 13th, 2009

    WIDTAP:
    The Archbishop of Canterbury has to be waxing those eyebrows so they point to heaven but the really give a nice satanic look. I’m dressing as him next Halloween.

  18. Implants, baby, implants! More sweet crude salmon, Sarah?

  19. SendLawyersGunsAndMoney says at 9:41 am, July 13th, 2009

    If you say “fuck” and then “Sarah Palin”, you will proceed to relieve stress and then create it. Have a good friend do it for a minute and then you can eagerly watch their head explode. Make sure you wear safety glasses for the bone shards.

  20. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 9:42 am, July 13th, 2009

    Autochthon: Maybe I need to upgrade to horses?

  21. norbizness says at 9:45 am, July 13th, 2009

    If your name is Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the Fifteenth, I really don’t want to know what’s in your mainstream. I suspect it runs the gamut from Billy Ray to Cletus, including crazy Uncle Fritz who has lived in the attic since 1947 and still dresses up in his SS uniform.

  22. Autochthon says at 9:47 am, July 13th, 2009

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: Hey, if it worked for Catherine the Great…

  23. magic titty says at 9:53 am, July 13th, 2009

    Autochthon: is there footage on da youtubes?

  24. Autochthon says at 10:06 am, July 13th, 2009
  25. Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas says at 10:09 am, July 13th, 2009

    Dear Archibishop of Canterbury: You already have PLENTY of gay clergy. The only difference is that Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire is telling the truth, living out of the closet…he is not married with kids and hiring rentboys once a week for an hour on church funds. Trust me, Archbishop, I know first hand that there are PLENTY of married closeted gay men wearing the anglican collar.

  26. cynbot says at 10:13 am, July 13th, 2009

    I love this whole homo episcopal clergy things because it’s so refreshing to have the rest of the world hate us for doing the right thing for once.

  27. Come here a minute says at 10:14 am, July 13th, 2009

    Four yeses and one FUCK YEAH!

  28. paintitblack says at 10:36 am, July 13th, 2009

    Thinning hair is a definite sign that menopause is on it’s way. But it’s more fun to blame it on teh eeevul libruls. Why not? She blames everything else on us.

  29. Joshua Norton says at 10:42 am, July 13th, 2009

    If Palin wasn’t such a hysterical drama queen/victim, she might have made a decent politician. Now her life is just going to be a constant game of “Lets see if we can make Sarah cry”.

    What’s the difference between a pitbull and a quitter? Lipstick.

  30. finallyhappy says at 10:45 am, July 13th, 2009

    I told my surgeon that cursing helped the pain when I got the Lidocaine shots(this is serious, Wonketteers) so he yelled “shit” when he gave me the first shot. That did not help me. Perhaps yelling shit and a shot of lidocaine would help Sarah’s hair loss or obese parents

  31. springfield_meltdown says at 10:47 am, July 13th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: The hairdresser can provide extensions made from the finest moose hair.

  32. The archbishop needs to lighten up. Hell, if it wasn’t for the gay boys, our church choir would be half the size it is now.

  33. hockeymom says at 10:48 am, July 13th, 2009

    Palin needs to buy a Bump It…it’s very Wasilla, by way of Jersey.

  34. hobospacejunkie says at 10:53 am, July 13th, 2009

    norbizness: Jefferson Beauregard has waited 20+ years for revenge for his being denied a place on the federal bench due to his own unconcealed racism. So now his personal vendetta will end up costing his party the brown vote for the foreseeable future due to, you know, his racism. I believe we have yet another candidate for dumbest republican. Yield the floor to Sen. Sessions and let him talk as long as his little white heart desires.

  35. El Pinche says at 10:54 am, July 13th, 2009

    Sarah knows she’ll be pushing 50 around 2012, and she’ll no longer be able to ignite the base’s testicles. Trig will just look like ordinary retarded kid to the base. My guess is that she’ll plop out another human prop real soon….oh but it will be so cute!

  36. nightshift says at 10:56 am, July 13th, 2009

    hockeymom: I had to google Bumpits. Consider this link my public service to Wonkette: http://www.bighappiehair.com/testimonials.html

  37. WIDTAP says at 11:08 am, July 13th, 2009

    hockeymom: BumpIts. Womens’ answer to men resting their beer glasses on their flat heads.

  38. Mr Blifil says at 11:11 am, July 13th, 2009

    Is it a bad sign that Leahy had the Judiciary Committee hearing room equipped with a stripper pole?

  39. Redhead says at 11:26 am, July 13th, 2009

    nightshift: So I actually clicked that link. (Yes. I am THAT bored.)

    Apparently it was necessary for them to put a disclaimer at the bottom of their page that bumpits, these half-circles of plastic, are not edible. This might explain the obesity epidemic more than blaming it on the parents…

  40. RoscoePColtraine says at 12:05 pm, July 13th, 2009

    I say leave the Anglican church exactly the way it is today. All the closeted fags being priests and all the fabulous fags being organists.

  41. Country Club Jihadi says at 12:18 pm, July 13th, 2009

    Todd Mecklem: Nothing says “Mark Of The Beast” quite like a Sharpie!

  42. Atlas Spanked says at 12:45 pm, July 13th, 2009

    At last! A plausible explanation for the Palin quit-a-thon.

  43. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:14 pm, July 13th, 2009

    Actually, drugs and alcohol help ease the pain, swearing just makes it feel good.

  44. My guess she resigned because she got caught putting Rogaine on her government-provided socialist health care plan.

  45. RoscoePColtraine says at 2:54 pm, July 13th, 2009

    Is the contention being made here that the reason the Church of England exists is due to the fact that it’s founder wanted to fuck a younger chick, and the stodgy old Pope said ‘nope’?
