DENBY ON THE OFFENSIVE: Hey, England! Don’t let the Bearded Sack of Lies pull a fast one on you, too, with this secret “U.K. release” of the tragic fapping pamphlet Snark. We would never make a joke about Ted Kennedy or Chelsea Clinton! [Guardian]

    Hey Denby, um, good luck with going to jolly old England. It’s not the UK is snarky and is cruel and nasty to politicians/public figures/journalists or anything.

    He had to get out of the country because he was so ashamed of all those nasty things he said about Baby K!

  3. freakishlystrong says at 10:37 am, August 31st, 2009

    Everything is a joke to Wonkett.

  4. the problem child says at 10:41 am, August 31st, 2009

    After publishing his entire pamphlet in the Guardian, he has the effrontery to expect people to purchase it from the Guardian bookstore?

  5. the problem child:
    I just learned the hard way not to drink (anything) in front of the computer while reading wonkette.

  6. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 11:01 am, August 31st, 2009

    I made it to principle five! On the downside, it seems I’m smoking again and appear to have killed my neighbors.

  7. Mr Blifil says at 11:10 am, August 31st, 2009

    How convenient he leaves the country just when investigators are figuring out who’s responsible for the California Holocaust.

    He says “Snark” like it’s a bad thing…

    Snark is as Snark does.

    Snark happens.

    Snarkalicious.

    Or, bitten by a great white Snark.

  9. SNARK GAS! The smeller’s the feller, Mr. Denby. Quit picking on Wonkette, you obsessive old creep.

  10. geminisunmars says at 11:12 am, August 31st, 2009

    Finally! An instruction manual (or pamphlet) on how to snark. Thank you Denby.

  11. Did Intern Juli get paged, and have to run off and deliver another baby?

  12. El Pinche says at 11:18 am, August 31st, 2009

    It ain’t easy being the laughing stock of Twitter and the internet.

  13. Marlowe: You’re a heretic. AMC taught us to always drink something in front of the computer while reading Wonkette and Ken hasn’t repudiate that yet.

    Also, I have a weird need to see Denby in the Australian parliament. Soon. Possibly being beaten by wombats and ‘roos.

    “The knowingness that racial snark appeals to is usually concealed backstairs somewhere in the commodious house of unconscious fear, intolerance and distrust.”

    The Guardian is fuckin’ poetic, dood.

  15. saridout says at 11:21 am, August 31st, 2009

    “Commodious house of unconscious fear”? This guy needs to get a hobby.

  16. DENBY IS OFFENSIVE:

    Fixed that for ya. What a humorless tool. Remind me never to invite him to a party.

  17. Come here a minute says at 11:47 am, August 31st, 2009

    From here on all Jameson jokes must be directed at Joseph P. Kennedy II.

  18. Obamaton says at 11:48 am, August 31st, 2009

    We are the makers of snark, Denby, and the liberty that follows our places stops the mouth of all fault-finds.

  19. Speaking (ideally, for the last time) about “fellatio on fornicators, cohabitators, working mothers and other types of fallen women . . . .”

  20. Jeez, I didn’t realized there were so many rules to this snark thing.

  21. Pop Socket says at 12:15 pm, August 31st, 2009

    Ten pounds for piece of crap? British currency is falling faster than I realized.

  22. snideinplainsight says at 12:32 pm, August 31st, 2009

    I would like to give dear Mr. Denby ten pounds, too! Come a little closer Mr. Denby…closer…closer…

  23. peggynoonansrickshaw says at 1:07 pm, August 31st, 2009

    They just reviewed it in the Financial Times Weekend edition, completely ruining that weekend.

  24. imissopus says at 1:24 pm, August 31st, 2009

    Denby, you use your tongue purtier than a ten-dollar whore.

  25. One Yield Regular says at 2:00 pm, August 31st, 2009

    I wish we’d had this article sooner, as it’s abundantly clear that the “invasion of snark into all modern discourse” already reached its apotheosis during this weekend’s outrageous snark-fest concerning Charlie “Baby K.” Smith. Clearly this menace has rendered its users completely incapable of even the merest expression of human warmth and generous sentiment.

  26. No Country for Old Men: An Ode

    Here’s to that priggish dolt Denby!
    Ne’re more insufferable than when he
    Squeaks, “Snark ain’t legit,
    On it will I shit.
    Oh, prithee! Great Books, do defend me!

  27. OverlySensitiveNegress says at 1:47 am, September 1st, 2009

    Denby is an uppity cracker.
