  1. ManchuCandidate says at 5:14 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Except her plastic s’urgery. Wheres the hor’se faced Greta we know and loathe?

  2. Xenu put that apostrophe there in order to test our faith.

  3. slappypaddy says at 5:14 pm, September 21st, 2009

    nothing get’s by the wonketterati.

  4. It’s missing some superfluous quotation marks, e.g.:

    On the “Record”
    w/Greta “Van” Susteren

    We “Report.” You “Decide.”

  5. Ilove you man. That is beautiful.

  6. populucious says at 5:16 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Nothing Get Us By Gretta, cept large donation to Scientology center!

  7. Suds McKenzie says at 5:17 pm, September 21st, 2009

    “Bold, Powerful, Persistant” … Sounds like an ad for Michael Jordan Cologne.

  8. Joshua Norton says at 5:17 pm, September 21st, 2009

    One more eye lift and she’ll qualify for a job in the chorus of a bus-and-truck road show of Flower Drum Song.

  9. Bold, powerful, persistant sonds like a paint peeling fart.

  10. Fred Wertham Jr. says at 5:17 pm, September 21st, 2009

    They just didn’t want to get a bunch of emails from Fox viewers telling them that they left out an apostrophe.

  11. shadowMark says at 5:17 pm, September 21st, 2009

    The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

  12. Jukesgrrl says at 5:18 pm, September 21st, 2009

    And nothing get’s by ME.
    They reported. I decided.
    GRETA is
    Pathetic.
    Annoying.
    Drudge-dependent.

  13. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:18 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Must be the, same idjit who wrote your, email of the day.

  14. Hah! Now this is on topic! Well, barely.

  15. Doris Ziffel says at 5:19 pm, September 21st, 2009

    And damn, who the hell at Fox decided she looked attractive in that picture? She’s got the runaway bride crazy eyes.

  16. rev_matt_y says at 5:19 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Give them a break, her last name is a tough spell.

  17. The Station Manager says at 5:20 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Nothing get is by Greta.

  18. Greta Van Susteren (D)

  19. kewlguy42069 says at 5:21 pm, September 21st, 2009

    GVS got the plastic surgery version of cleft palate, love you babe!!!

  20. Cape Clod says at 5:22 pm, September 21st, 2009

    TGY: Excellent. Thanks for the infromation.

  21. Extemporanus says at 5:23 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Is that an ad for Greta’s new show, Punc’d?

  22. That’s an apostrophe? I thought it was a stray sperm. That would not get by her.

  23. It’s not her fault, her back’s turned. Until I read “bold, powerful, persistent” I thought they were adverstising a traffic barricade since that’ll pretty much stop anything from getting by.

  24. Holding Out for a Hero says at 5:25 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Well at least there aren’t any extra commas.

  25. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:27 pm, September 21st, 2009

    TGY: OH GOOD. IT IS IN ALL CAPS.

  26. They also forgot to add in a bunch of tissue around her eyes. Wha happened?

  27. leftcoaster says at 5:29 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Horrible masking job around her head, too. Someone must have been very pressed for time. Or it was done purposefully to achieve that amateur, MySpace look.

  28. Extemporanus says at 5:29 pm, September 21st, 2009

    TGY: THANK YOU EDITH WHARTON FOR KEEPING US ETHAN FROMED!

    YES GOD BLESS AMERCIA!

  29. guerilla-nation says at 5:29 pm, September 21st, 2009

    nothing kills a boner like bad grammar and a picture of a right wing she-woman. at least it wasn’t ann coulter take’s on socialism …

  30. northernbassist says at 5:36 pm, September 21st, 2009

    guerilla-nation: Viagra is changing their advertising slogan to “Bold, Powerful, Persistent” for just that reason.

  31. “We report. You proofread.”

  32. Greta is starting to look like that plastic surgery cat-woman. Soon her cheekbones are going to be in the way of her eyeballs.

  33. “Van” should not be capitalized either, it means “of” or “from”.

    Silly English-speaking kinigits.

  34. Mahousu: Those aren’t superfluous quotes. I find them entirely appropriate.

  35. SayItWithWookies says at 5:40 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Greta definitely puts the apostrophe in Fock’s New’s.

  36. Snarkalicious says at 5:41 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Wow. Fox News hired the understudy for the eye-monster in Pan’s Labrynth? Gritty.

  37. Not even a tiny hairless cock.

  38. widget09: It could also describe an aftershave or mens cologne, see “Anchorman” for additional descriptive scent terms.

  39. Snarkalicious says at 5:43 pm, September 21st, 2009

    shadowMark: Good to know that the secrets of bicuitude endure.

  40. charlesdegoal says at 5:47 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Stupid get’s. Like Sir Walter Raleigh’s. Im so tired.

  41. Fighting Bill says at 5:50 pm, September 21st, 2009

    If you ex’perience an erection that’s bold, powerful & persistent and lasts longer than Greta s’how, call your doct’or.

  42. Rotundo: Yeah, it could describe Oily TitZ too.

  43. Crank Tango says at 5:53 pm, September 21st, 2009

    so is the religious right so unpowerful that they have to accept all nutjob cults now? What’s next?

  44. The Station Manager: Cuz her ass is so big?

  45. yargisbargis says at 5:59 pm, September 21st, 2009

    It’s a mistake right? So let’s correct it for Fox viewers;

    “Nuthin’ gits by Greta, cuz she’s bold, powerful, persestant.

    We Report. Y’all decide.”

  46. AnnieGetYourFun says at 6:01 pm, September 21st, 2009

    FROZEN. BLOATED. TERRIFYING.

    Nothing Gret’s by that face. Everything turns to stone.

  47. Come here a minute says at 6:01 pm, September 21st, 2009

    First duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

  48. These are the times I wish I didn’t have Ad-Block Plus running on Firefox

  49. No dead white girl gets by Greta.

    But a good plastic surgeon does.

  50. CapnFatback says at 6:09 pm, September 21st, 2009

    The Station Manager: This is correct. “Nothing Get” is the name of her new ethereal spoken word album. It is a collection of “found text,” that is, text found dribbling out of Steve Doocy’s mouth and flopping at his feet like goldfish cruelly tossed from their bowl. A sample:

    Nothing get
    Victim
    Taxing our
    America we knew
    Communism?!?
    :) :( #;-9
    That’s outrageous!
    I’m Steve Doocy.

  51. Tundra Grifter says at 6:09 pm, September 21st, 2009

    With Caribou Barbie limiting her international media exposure to those hard-hitting Facebook interviews, what is GVS up to these days? If she and her husband can’t promote the SnowBillies (read the article about Levi Johnston and the Palins in Vanity Fair - some pretty funny stuff there!)what are they doing with their time and infinite resources?

  52. Tundra Grifter says at 6:11 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Now we know the new job held by that Faux Noise “associate producer” who got into trouble whipping up the DC crowd for Griff “Birth Control Glasses” Jenkins - copywriter!

  53. We Report, you Deicide.

  54. Country Club Jihadi says at 6:22 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Suds McKenzie: and toenail fungus.

    Love the placement of Greta next to the Jane Velez ad. Did David Paterson do the haircuts and the plastic surgery on these “ladies”?

  55. Way Cool Larry says at 6:23 pm, September 21st, 2009

    I think Greta’s trying to outdo MJ’s record for most number of plastic surgeries– and the most grotesque outcome

  56. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 6:25 pm, September 21st, 2009

    From her Wiki-Wakka entry:

    “Gretel von Sudafed has the enviable task of holding Belle O’Rally’s falafel whilst he bends over to retrieve the loofah he dropped in the shower. I spot a liver spot where liver spots should not be spot! All Praise to Xenu, Jesus, Muhammad Ali et al.”

  57. Way Cool Larry says at 6:25 pm, September 21st, 2009

    So, the byline “By Greta” is owned by someone named “Nothing Get”?

    I’m so confused.

  58. Must of been a slow day for the Fox News Chyron guy so they let him do some advertising copy. You know it is a tough day writing D on the line where they should put R for the latest republican sex scandal.

  59. Mad Brahms says at 6:27 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Except the time she was bilked out of thousands of dollars in a financial scam run by a scientology minister. Oops!

  60. Pithaughn says at 6:28 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Oh oh oh, I know, instead of FOX NEWS, it should read “FOX LIE’S”.
    Please send my gold star overnight.

  61. geminisunmars says at 6:32 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Great get, Wonkette!

  62. So where is the incorrect (D) or (R) beside her name? Poor copywriter missed more than one memo.

  63. Tundra Grifter: So Associate Producer = Bubba Fluffer?

  64. jasper f. krone says at 6:49 pm, September 21st, 2009

    iburl: yeah, that’ll be the deicide.

  65. lawrenceofthedesert says at 6:51 pm, September 21st, 2009

    When will Greta finally admit that she is the only child of Leni Reifenstahl? (And if nothing gets by her, why isn’t she a goalie?)

  66. Looks like someone’s put on a few extra body thetans lately…

  67. They’re just trying to speak the language of their developmentally-challenged followers. It’s like ebonics for pasty fat people.

  68. comicbookguy says at 7:04 pm, September 21st, 2009

    It’s a contraction, idiots.

    “Nothing Get” is by Greta.

    Thank you, come again.

  69. Today we all misuse the possessive apostrophe.

  70. Mama Grizzly says at 7:21 pm, September 21st, 2009

    And to think Todd’s cheating on me with a victim of botched plastic surgery.

    Gross. Also, too.

  71. glamourdammerung says at 7:29 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Doris Ziffel: I thought crazy eyes were highly valued traits for the wingnut set.

  72. El Pinche says at 7:40 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Bold. Powerful. Persistent.
    Sounds like the post- 3 Chalupa shit I just took.

  73. assistant/atlas says at 7:43 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Hey, we should all be saluting Fox for having the courage to put a transsexual on the air in front of such a conservative audience….

  74. If this country, could put a “tax”, on all the “unnecessary” and misplaced punctuation marks used by Fox news viewers on the many comment pages they visit, we as a people, could “raise” enough money to pay for all the “death” panels, you could ever hope for.

  75. I liked her so much better back when she was still a hippie dude.
    http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab167/taterbuddy_photo/greta.jpg

  76. iburl: We Report? You decide….

  77. I’m pretty sure that’s Elizabeth Dole in drag. But if that is Greta van, I definitely remember the interview when Sarah Palin got by her when Greta was flaring her nostrils in heat and tried to pin Moose Mama against the refrigerator in her very own kitchen. That was sooo weird … but Sarah got by Greta. Just.

  78. FOX: Were tbager’rs lurn to spel;

  79. hobospacejunkie says at 8:15 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Wonkett keeps me infromed about The Muslin Moran’s activities in the ghertto. I could not get’s by without it.

  80. Bold. Powerful. Persistent. Dentatious.
    Same woodchuck prima fascie, even after gnawing on the raw potato of a thousand e-meters.

    Nothing gets by the Greta except her Scientology … and logic.

    Our old Greta Van.

  81. Hunger Tallest Palin says at 8:25 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Es’pecially S’arah Palin.

  82. a_pink_poodle says at 8:25 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Nothing get is by!

  83. GreenHalo says at 8:27 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Oh look, a typo. I hate to piss on the campfire, but Fox has entire legions of anchor-twinkies, and the left has, what, Rachel Maddow? Kiran Chetry vs Rachel Maddow is like Godzilla vs Bambi. Your co-workers know it, your neighbors know it, DOGS know it, the only ones who don’t know it are you lot. How many elections have been tipped by English majors?

    I’m not cheering for the Idiocracy, okay, but what exactly is the swoon factor for Rahm the Space Knight or George Snuffapopodopolus? Or that guy who used to be a sportscaster, and then he announced that Dubya was a war criminal, and now his life revolves around the fact that his moms is dead and you can fuck right off? Marketing sucks, but it does appear to work.

  84. President Beeblebrox says at 8:41 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Fuck, this has been a great day, with Orly claiming that a letter from her client to the judge was forged, itself concerning a lawsuit in which a forged birf surtifikat was filed… and now this. Nothing get’s by teh kraziee’s.

    GreenHalo: Did you forget to take your Seconal this morning?

  85. Suds McKenzie says at 8:44 pm, September 21st, 2009

    GreenHalo: “I’m not cheering for the Idiocracy” But you are obviously trying to speak for them. You cant fool us with your lower case babble.

  86. In lingua franca of FoxNews, “get’s by” means “enjoys The New Masculinity with”.
    No argument from moi.

    http://www.valuesvotersummit.org/schedule
    Value Voters Summit
    THE NEW MASCULINITY – Dr. Pat Fagan, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Family and Religion, FRC
    Feminism has wreaked havoc on marriage, women, children and men. It is time to redress the disorder it has wrought and that must start with getting the principles and ideals for a new “masculinism” right. Such a “masculinism” will have its dovetailing counterpart in a new “feminism” for they mutually define each other and, in nature, are meant to be complementary.

  87. Powerhouse Anchor Has Issues.

  88. S.Luggo: Dr.Pat Fagan, former employee of the Heritage Foundation, where “In 2001, his work earned him Heritage’s prestigious Drs. W. Glenn and Rita Ricardo Campbell Award. It is given to the employee who delivers “an outstanding contribution to the analysis and promotion of the Free Society.”

    Oh really?

  89. GreenHalo:
    Well, shuckins. We so sorry that we take glee because Cretaceous-Conservative, gadzillionaire Rupert Murdock screwed up his agitprop for his house Scientologist nutcake.
    Lesson learned. Next time, we hold our tongues out of respect. Hahahahaha … cough.

  90. Long Form Def Certificate says at 9:12 pm, September 21st, 2009

    The Pride of Appleton.

    But until she calls out Glenn Beck as a stooge of the Maoists — are there still Maoists, like, for real? — she will not dislodge Robert Welch, Sr., from pride of place in my “favourite Wisconsin conservatards”.

    Plus: Bob, Sr., — & his namesake — attended my alma mater. Before my time, of course.

    Sing out, Ripon College!

  91. GreatOldOnesParty says at 9:21 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Ahl ur n00z r belawng 2 us!(?)

  92. Mad Brahms says at 9:27 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Long Form Def Certificate: She’s from Appleton, too? Ooh!

    I once stayed in a hotel in Appleton that had somehow lost its chain affiliation when their pool burned down (!), and had simply covered their sign with a semi-translucent tarp through which the dim letters of the old “Days Inn” still shone through at night. This is pretty much all anyone ever needs to know about Appleton, Wisconsin.

  93. iburl: But . . . God is already dead.

    Otherwise He would have been doing some mighty fine smiting these past few decades.

  94. Hmmm… makes a grammarian’s brain explode wondering why the apostrophe was even considered.

  95. Nothing g’et’s b’y f’ox new’s!

  96. Robert Zimmerframe says at 9:45 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Would.

  97. So, during this time of budget cuts, Fox elected to get rid of the copy editors before the janitors? On behalf of copy editors everywhere, I say, Where is the justice, where is the justice?!

  98. jasper f. krone says at 10:14 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Here’s what I think they were getting at. The Dine’ language uses apostrophes as we use the letter “e”. This simple example speaks volumes.

    To be drunk
    Navajo phrase (1): bi naak’ai’

    This phrase can either mean to be “drunk” or “hung-over. It literally means “his (or her) legs are spread apart.” Most people say bi honeezdoh for being drunk.

    Examples:

    Éí adáádáá’ bi naak’ai’go bi nániikai.
    Yesterday, he came back with us all drunk.

  99. RoscoePColtraine says at 10:15 pm, September 21st, 2009

    GreenHalo: Marketing sucks, but it does appear to work.

    That’s very insightful. Throw marketing right in with huffing paint, vodka enemas and autoerotic asphyxiation as things which suck but appear to work.

  100. jasper f. krone says at 10:16 pm, September 21st, 2009
  101. GreenHalo: Hey, English majors MADE O’bama. I should know. And because we (as a mighty fighting force for subject-verb agreement) are never in it for teh munnies, no matter what “it” is, you know he won fair and square . . . by 9.5 million votes, a margin that will not be breached by pissant meanie screed merchants at any volume.

    And Rachel? She. Totally. Kicks. Ass.

    Call your mom and ask her if she remembers where you left your point, because I’m betting you had one when you started out.

  102. GreenHalo: Your comment is over-produced, over-budget, and not funny. You’re like the Ishtar of Wonkette.

  103. norbizness says at 10:28 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Bold. Powerful. Persistent. Chlamydia.

  104. Hunger Tallest Palin says at 10:29 pm, September 21st, 2009

    S.Luggo: You’ll no doubt be shocked to know this bed-sheet sniffing dildo smuggling hypocrite was a Deputy Assistant Secretary at HHS during the reign of Bush the Elder.

  105. Suds McKenzie says at 10:39 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Long Form Def Certificate: they were my neighbors.

  106. Suds McKenzie says at 10:42 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Long Form Def Certificate: Her Father was a Raging Drunk Judge who “forgot” to pay his taxes for 10 years because he “was too busy”, … for 10 years. their family was a joke in Appleton. which is umm.., saying something.

  107. jasper f. krone says at 10:44 pm, September 21st, 2009

    S.Luggo: ZOMG! Stephen Baldwin was doing a book signing! And I missed it!

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Oswald was a fag.

  108. crankypants says at 10:57 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Greta Van Susteren is an anagram for Runs Teargas Event. Coincidence? I think no’t.

  109. the problem child says at 11:09 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Old. Brows are full. Mendacious.

  110. crankypants: Anagrams…I think the night just got HOTTER.

  111. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 11:20 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Perhaps it is a cry for help from her staff?

  112. crankypants: Ravage Tenser Nuts…. that only means Greta likes the hard fuckin.

  113. Mike Steele says at 11:27 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Greta Van Sustran.

  114. GreenHalo:You barge in with your huffy buzzkill body language and piss all over the campfire in order to announce:

    “Marketing works” ?

    What a dork

    El Pinche: Oops! Wrong reply.

    Savage rennet trust = revenge of the calf stomaches. Cheesy!

  118. drpangloss says at 11:53 pm, September 21st, 2009

    Plasticfantastic Greta, she’ll put it anywhere. Just bagit’ the manatee would tagit.

  119. Capricatony says at 12:58 am, September 22nd, 2009

    Real Americans apostrophize their plurals. I read it in Drunk & White.

    Nothing get’s past Greta …except stray apostrophes.

  122. gurukalehuru says at 5:21 am, September 22nd, 2009

    JoeMac: Must HAVE, for fuck’s sake. If we’re going to mock the illiterate morans, we must remain a notch or two above the illiterate morans, i.e. no misspelling nothing or using bad grammar unless it’s clearly deliberate, as in “The morans get all they’re infromation from Fock’s Nudes.”
    The terms “must of” and “could of” do not actually exist in the English language. Learn this, JoeMac, and you will become a better person, like magic.

  123. Click: She went from that to Haley Joel Osment?

  124. LoweredPeninsula says at 6:56 am, September 22nd, 2009

    Why didn’t I know she was a Scientologist? How is she on Fox? Isn’t being a non-Christian female on Fox basically being equivalent to an old-timey, Salem witch? I bet you her office is somewhere way out away from the rest of her colleagues in the building.

  125. clientnumber8 says at 7:21 am, September 22nd, 2009

    Nothing ge’t’s by Greta, especially if it’s’ young, blond, female and dead.

  126. I’d like to see her on MyFace or on MyFaceSpace or whatever one I’m on.

  127. jimmyQ: It’s either the random apostrophe generator prized by wingnuts and students everywhere, or there is a grammar rule unknown to most of us: If you have to ask if an apostrophe might work there, it does.

  128. Chickensmack says at 9:26 am, September 22nd, 2009

    JESUS GOD MY EYES ALL THE TYPOS IN THIS THREAD

    Seriously, it’s all hot and it hurts and stuff.

  129. She’s even kind of looking at it!

  130. Mahousu: We REPORT!!! YOU decide!!!!!!!

    According to the Stuck (in Alaska) Elements of Style.

    long form def certificate: i think i speak for all of Wisconsin when i say we fully reject this creepy bitch. Outagamie county (of which Appleton is the county seat) went blue for Obama, 55%-43%.

    LoweredPeninsula: check wikipedia for a long list of noted scientologists. you’ll be surprised….

    Mad Brahms: don’t let one bad hotel experience keep you away. Sconnie is real nice this time of year.
