- There’s the Hollywood Harvey Milk that we all know and love, but then there’s the real Harvey Milk, the Harvey Milk who was an asshole and a fraud and it’s just mind-boggling that a jerk like Harvey Milk would get his own Harvey Milk State Holiday. [The Corner]
- An illegal alien costume, with a UFO mask and an orange jumpsuit and an expired green card! For Halloween! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Fox News. Always chipper. [Think Progress]
- Fast-forward to 3:15. Yes, that old man is wearing a baseball cap that says “Possum – the other dark meat.” And yes, he is also “rapping.” [Breitbart]
- Helen Thomas = a birther. [Weekly Standard]
- Interracial marriage? David Vitter does not feel comfortable commenting on such things. However, he would be more than willing to discuss his health and the weather. [TPM]
RUMORS ON THE INTERNETS

Why does The Corner not allow comments?
Why is it that contards’ idea of rap (don’t look away when I’m talking to you, MC Rove) always follows the formula “my name is X/I like to Y/If you don’t X/Then I’ll tell you Y”? Seriously, did any real rapper ever, uh, throw down rhymes like that?
Thanks ThinkProgress. There’s nothing like a Fox and Friends transcript to start off the evening.
[re=439013]Dr. Spaceman[/re]: No, they’ve always been cowards. Which is why they shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves a blog. Hell, even that breitbart echo chamber abomination, Big Hollywood, takes comments.
Vitter would actually like to talk about the differences between Pampers and Huggies.
Steve Doocy exclaimed, “It’s a joke! Where’s your sense of humor America?”
For once I agree with Doocy. I can’t imagine he’d get upset if folks started making fun of the Teabaggers, oh sorry, Tea Party People and comparing them to what Steve describes as a “filthy filthy act.”
I propose a Teabagger costume. A Steve Doocy mask, a business jacket, assless chaps and a badly spelled and written sign.
Will we be spreading our resources too thin if we continue the war on xmas AND the war on fauxnoise? I suppose it’s the only thing we can do though–fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here, and all…
From the NYT article quoted in The Standard: “The public impression of him is that if anyone were to, say, talk trash on the basketball court with Mr. Obama, he would not find much space for rent in Mr. Obama’s head.”
A brilliant way to help solve the ongoing financial crisis–rent part of Obama’s brain to those who don’t have one or who would just like to be smarter.
Maybe someone should ask Vitter if his diapers were Depends or store brand and how was it with his tongue up that prostitutes ass instead of his wife’s.
Helen Thomas a birther nooooooooo. I think she makes an interesting point, but lets face it Fox would attack Obama 24/7 anyway so why not fight back some.
David Vitter does have an opinion on interracial marriage — it should be between one man and one woman and several prostitutes.
[re=439018]hobospacejunkie[/re]: My freestylin’ always starts out; Ya know, you never know, Ya know…
OMG Harvey Milk was self-aggrandizing and told fibs? I’ve never heard of a politician doing that!
As a resident of S.F. at the time, I can say that Harvey Milk served at least one valuable civic function:
He proved at the S&W .38 cal. Chief’s Special remains an effective personal defense weapon.
Or even an offensive weapon.
Particularly when the barrel is placed against the back of the head.
Unfortunately, Supervisor Milk had to share the credit with Mayor George Moscone. Had it been otherwise, Milk might have qualified for a Nobel Peace Prize, too.
(The selection criteria for the NPP being “up for grabs,” as it were.)
[re=439020]El Pinche[/re]: But it’s so difficult to read that drivel. I need excerpts.
… In his victory speech he promised, “I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.” Or not. … (from the Weakly Standard article.)
So, telling outright lies and disseminating propaganda is now categorized as mere “disagreement?” OK, thanks for clearing that up. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go get my clown costume from the dry cleaners so I can march in the False Equivalency Parade.
[re=439043]Neilist[/re]: What a wit! Would definitely read again! A+ Poster!!!!
Fox anchors will actually do manual labor? Get dirt on their fingers?
You won’t find Vitter frequenting those negress hookers!
Jeez, what’s wrong with you children? The illegal alien costume is tasteless, offensive, and PERFECT for Halloween.
Don’t you remember the opening scenes in “Men in Black”?
OK, you don’t, you were too little, but you can probably rent the damn thing or get it from the library…
Was I wrong to laugh? Was I wrong to take my kids to that movie?
It was hilarious!
So was the time I dressed one of my bi-racial kids as Judge Ito and another as a Palestinian terrorist for Halloween.
Everybody laughed and my kids got mucho treats from the otherwise staid streets of Rochester, New York.
Scarier the better! Less taste, more edge!
Halloween!
Somebody’s not getting it here, and it’s not FOX NEWS.
Sad to say.
I no more want to hear country Santa change the word to Dr. Seuss stories pleeze . . .
Speaking of Halloween costumes, I’m going as Meg McCain’s left breast this year, and I’m looking for a right . . .
Ad hominem attacks on a dead gay man…that’s pure kkklass baby.
[re=439043]Neilist[/re]:
Asw a frequent commenter here at Wonkette, I must congratulate you on the sole civic contribution you make to the community here as a whole:
You serve as the quintessential exemplar of an asshole.
I’m sure it is your life’s work, so be proud.
Oh, and since you lived in San Francisco at the time, what a pity you couldn’t have shared in the Mr. Milk’s and Mr. Moscone’s “contribution”. There’s still time to amend that, however- particularly if you live in a state without a waiting period for handgun ownership. Hit me up for the cash if you find yourself short of funds for such a purchase. I’d be happy to contribute!
In re: the fat, insane, old Kansan – he is NOT a Southerner. No Southerner would ever put the “o” in front of “possum,” even if he knew it was supposed to be there…
Executive director Angelica Salas called it “distasteful, mean-spirited, and ignorant….
Ah no Angelica. Now these Halloween outfits are distasteful, mean-spirited, and ignorant. Which means that they are perfect for the next Wonkette get-together.
WARNING – link not suitable for work.
Glen Beck is just like Harvey Milk, trying to recruit us and what not.
[re=439064]Rebel Countess[/re]: Bring them through Charlotte we get no kids here.
Aw, I wanted to go as an Illegal Alien for Halloween. Now I have to have my back-up costume: Steve Doocy. One one hand, lame. On the other: terrifies children more readily.
I should add we would love to have kid show up some year. We have lived here for ten years and haven’t had 10 kids show up in all that time. And last year the only kid was my Grandson who was dressed in a pretty tame Elmo costume.
[re=439043]Neilist[/re]:
Just as Reagan proved that a 22 is pretty much worthless if you’re trying to cap a facist.
[re=439018]hobospacejunkie[/re]: Yo dawg, MC CHIQUITA is B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
Shit’s so tight, rapper comes in a wrapper!
[re=439078]WIDTAP[/re]: Oh Cthulhu-Jesus. I had to look up “The Shocker.” It has its own Wikipedia page. Although my eyes were opened, they might just as well have stayed closed.
[re=439070]CapnFatback[/re]: “Too Wong Foo” don’t make it right.
[re=439060]Dr. Spaceman[/re]: [re=439075]Tommmcatt[/re]:
This is what Neilist does in lieu of masturbation. If you ignore him, he’ll get bored. If you give him attention, he’ll post everyday with some variation on “Ha-ha Harvey Milk got shot in the head”.
[re=439018]hobospacejunkie[/re]: did any real rapper ever, uh, throw down rhymes like that?
When Miley Cyrus rapped about leaving twitter she included rhymes like this:
I’m done trying to please
I ain’t living for tabloids, no
I’m living for me
No more emo quotes
And fake feuds with Demi
Yeah I’m done with all that
And the truth is I’m too busy
One of the rare times when Demi’s name helps. And she says sometimes twitter feuds aren’t real. OMG.
I went back in the Corner’s archives and found this:
“Constantine has signed a decreed declaring that Rome should turn Christian. Biggus Dickus wrote about the real Jesus Christ a few weeks ago.”
How about this as a Halloween costume? Terrifying!
Just so we’re clear on the Wonkette editors’ rules: fat jokes = expulsion to the Phantom Zone, sociopathic gun fellators unfunnily celebrating violent death = gold star.
Apparently, this Milk guy was some sort of politician. Boo!
[re=439043]Neilist[/re]: You are a troller of trolls. I have always saluted you. I want to do more than that now: I want to pleasure you anally with a gun. While you drink some 10 year old highland single malt.
You know you want it. (The malt; maybe not the gun-pleasuring. But that’s the deal xx.)
[re=439116]wheelie[/re]: Don’t forget a bit of the ol’ arse-to-mouth… very popular at the gun-club soirées, so I hear…
ummm BIG news story of the day: the Dems think the banks need even more money from the student loan program.
They have a conundrum….save taxpayers 97 billion, or keep giving the banks more money.
http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/63613-harkin-rattles-centrists-using-special-budget-rules-to-move-education-bill
so disgusted.
so pathetic.
meh
If they cant get the votes on this one, anything else is surely doomed.
[re=439043]Neilist[/re]: Listen, I get that you like guns. I like guns, too! They help make me feel better about my incredibly tiny penis. And I’m glad there’s one conservative who hangs around Wonkette…all these smarty-pants liberals with their biting wit and clever turns of phrase and fact-based arguments get so tiring sometimes. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t help anyone secure their God-given Second Amendment rights when gun owners like you say things that are so fucking crazily insensitive to other people’s existence and humanity that I mistake you for a pro-serial-killing psychopath who shouldn’t be allowed within fifteen feet of box cutters, let alone a gun. …Ya know, just fyi, going forward, etc., etc..
[re=439043]Neilist[/re]: Wow, someone pissed in your cornflakes today, eh?
[re=439075]Tommmcatt[/re]: “as the quintessential exemplar of an asshole.” Does that qualify me for a Nobel Peace Prize? The requirements are, apparently, so . . . minimal nowadays.
And as to “sharing” the contribution of Milk and Moscone: That might have been hard, if I was still living in SF, given that City’s patently unconstitutional anti-gun law. But I guess that the Mayor of “The City That Knows How” is too busy banging the wife of his chief of staff, and running for govenor, to ask whether wasting the taxpayers’ money defending such clearly unconstitutional laws in court is a good use of the City’s resources.
Personally, my favorite SF political debacle was when they tried to shut down the bathhouses to stop the spread of AIDS/HIV. Silly me: I never realized that preventing veneral disease raised “human rights issues.” Alas, that block of voters is dead. Much to Mayor Newsome’s regret . . . .
[re=439088]knobwurst[/re]: Depends on the “facist.” A .22 cal. worked pretty well on Bobby Kennedy. But then, Sirhan Sirhan was patriotic enough to use an AMERICAN pistol (an Iver-Johnson Cadet) instead of that German Rohm garbage that Hinkley was using.
Foreigners. :::Sniff:::
Now, Mark David Chapman had the right idea: The classic .38 cal. short barrel Charter Arms. The only problem was that he used a five shot. With a full load of six, he could have gotten Yoko Ono, too, and saved the world YEARS of misery.
[re=439116]wheelie[/re]: “Highland malt”? What are you Wheelie? One of those Protestant-Irish land stealers who refuses to drink Bushmills?
[re=439121]assistant/atlas[/re]: “so fucking crazily insensitive to other people’s existence and humanity . . . ” I finally watched “Defiance” over the weekend. If memory serves, the Nazis and Polish Catholics were all for gun control, too. Talk to them, and people like them, about “other people’s existence and humanity.”
Or talk to the Irish-Catholics who had to deal with Wheelie’s (apparent) ancestors.
A word of advice, however: Watch the snark. It may save you a bullet. Or three. Or an RPG up your Trucknutz.
[re=439115]norbizness[/re]: Celebratory jokes about violent death caused by sociopathic fatness = one wafer-thin mint.
Oh crap, my Wonkette has discovered Bill Otto, the single most embarrassing politician in Kansas. Yes, even more embarrassing than the Darwin-hating school board or the Great White Hope Lady (Jenkins), or the senator who uses a six-year-old’s crayon drawing to make a point about abortion (Brownback), or the senator who’s such an incredibly hypocritical pussy (Roberts) that he’s afraid to put terrorists in Leavenworth, the most badass military barracks in the country, despite going on and on about how we need to win the war on terror.
I would just start saying I’m from Arkansas, but I think I have too many teeth for that.
[re=439130]Neilist[/re]: ‘If memory serves, the Nazis and Polish Catholics were all for gun control, too. Talk to them, and people like them, about “other people’s existence and humanity.”’
Yes, yes, and Hitler was a vegetarian, and Genghis Khan liked Radiohead, etc. etc. The fact that I, too, like hummus and Kid A doesn’t mean I’m going to start gassing Jews.
[re=439123]Neilist[/re]: Jesus, if gun nuttery like this is inversely related to the size of one’s penis, you’ve now undergone a sex change. Congratulations!
Also, read the whole Second Amendment. Too bad the young whippersnappers who write Supreme Court decisions for their napping justices (or the protoliterate ones) don’t. But it’s hard to read the phrase “A well regulated militia” and not move your lips. Or mispronunciate “militia,” also. Bottom line: it’s not “clearly unconstitutional” because the clarity of the second amendment has been mucked up by the gun enablers on the supreme court.
Oh, and the “the Nazis did [something] so, if we do [something], we’re no better than Nazis” argument was a real show stopper. In the ninth grade. Alas, this bullshit doesn’t work any more. Of course, Nazis breathed, and shat, and ate. You might want to stop doing that, lest you lower yourself to the level of a Nazi.
Wow. I didn’t think anything would make me long for the halcyon days of Meg McCabe’s Titty Follies, but I was wrong.
Look, no commenter is going to shoot another commenter, or sodomize them with a gun, or use an RPG on anyone’s Trucknutz. It’s a pathetic little display brought on by a lack of imagination and wit.
Bah.
Good night.
[re=439137]Cicada[/re]:
Neilist thread = poop.
~
OK. the DEMOCRATS ARE GIVING THE BANKS ANOTHER 97 BILLION DOLLARS.
In the Education bill!
sniff, no one cares. all they want to talk about is gun sex.
Driving through Spokane yesterday, I saw the can-do spirit that built the West: Some poor sod who had apparently spent all his hard-earned money on a brand-new truck and couldn’t afford a real pair of Trucknutz to attach to it put 2 tennis balls in an oversized tube sock and tied it to his trailer hitch. Unlike your standard Trucknutz, these things bounced and swayed and were quite mesmerizing. Yeah, that was off-topic, but at least it wasn’t a dumb-ass Neilist comment. Yay me, I’m drunk.
Now home made trucknutz……thats always on topic!
[re=439148]sati demise[/re]: Martha Stewart has nothing on the ingenuity of Spokansans.
Neillist going off half-cocked again? Meh.
Home-made trucknutz! In a (presumably) pre-sperm-soaked tube sock! FTW!!!
[re=439120]sati demise[/re]: I’m confused. That article seems to saying that the Dems (minus a few “centrists”) are in favor of the legislation proposed by Harkin. That legislation appears to take money away from student loans and redirects it into other education programs. This would be taking money away from the banks/loaning agencies. The people opposing it are Republicans who don’t want to redirect money from the private sector, and some Dems who happen to have loaning agencies in their districts.
Am I missing something?
[re=439178]Cicada[/re]: We give the banks 97 billion to write loans we already write.
Private contracting of government function like Blackwater?
Where the funds go is another subject.
The banks have enough.
If someone’s reply is “(vague threat of violence),” then you know they have no intelligent reply.
[re=439190]petehammer[/re]: The thread started out pleasantly enough with hobospacejunkie asking politely about rap esthetics.
Of course it’s tempting now to try and wrap it all up in a kind of rap. Uh, If Miley Cyrus were going with Riley Waggaman and Bristol Palin were going with General McChrystal and Neilist shot and wounded them all with a handgun we could rap:
yo blow faster
Miley and Riley
and Bristol and McChrystal
were shot with a pistol
now Neilist won’t come if you whistle
cause his fail landed him in jail
and Wonkette buds hear fewer thuds
and Neilist’s butt is turning to gristle
from his prison ass master’s blaster
yo go slow
[re=439123]Neilist[/re]:
Like I say, never too late to make up for lost time! I’m sure you have a handgun around somewhere….
Finally, someone like The Corner shows some balls. I can’t wait for their complete expose on Gandhi. Someone has needed to take that bitch down a peg for years.
Give students federal money at the same rate they give money to the banks, 0%

Aw crap.
I’ll bet somebody has already told that joke.
80+ posts!
I just can’t move my lips fast enough to keep up.
Oy Vey.
@ShadowMark: Does the phrase 12 step program ring a bell?
Good.
You should resist anything that resembles the number twelve.
This world is dull enough…
[re=439224]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Oh, you haven’t seen revisionist history until you’ve seen The Corner/National Review cry themselves over Augusto Pinochet’s “legacy.”

[re=439190]petehammer[/re]: Indeed – I’ve endorsed/excused/ignored that guy before, but now I’d support the Awesome Justice of The Mighty BänHämmer falling down upon him, and all such impotently violent prats like him…
I always thought that Harvey Milk proved that any Twinky-addled douchetard can shoot his way out of being a complete loser — or not.
Oh noes, teh Intarwebs will stick a RPG in my snark! Whatever shall I do? *bubble-hearth* /spit
Needless to say that by attempting to threaten people online Neilist has actually done us all a favor — saving us the effort of coming up with any other jokes that would ever need to be made about him. Or, if he could actually go ahead and scarf a Twinky or three… then we’re set.
[re=439137]Cicada[/re]: Hey, I longed for the days of Meg McCabe’s Titty Follies even before they happened!
You can’t spell Crap without Rap.
[re=439075]Tommmcatt[/re]: [re=439174]the problem child[/re]: Give him a break, … he is still dealing with the death of Benazir Bhutto.
[re=439123]Neilist[/re]: “The requirements are, apparently, so . . . minimal nowadays.”
Minimal does not mean “too difficult for you to understand”, even if you are probably doing so deliberately to be aggressively stupid. Again.
In this Bush recession I can’t afford a witty Halloween costume so I have to recycle last year’s costume. I am pasting some matted white hair on top of my old Godzilla costume and voila: I’m Barbara Bush!! Boo!!!
Halloween Hint for dark-complected Wyoming Residents: Avoid bobbing for apples at the Cheney residence- they’ll waterboard you.
“Ramesh Ponnuru” is ancient Aramaic for “dipping into another man’s anus, yet not liking it”.
[re=439105]shadowMark[/re]: So Demi’s name is pronounced something close to “dummy” but with the accent on the 2nd syllable? Sounds about right.
Where in the world is the fucking banhammer, already? People have been banned for far less, and this particular brand of nastiness is just plain appalling.
Neilist, since you enjoy that it’s happened to others, may you almost make a “contribution” to the world, and may you make it soon, and for extra irony points, may someone make it under the guise of “watering the tree of liberty.” That way, I can make a move on your bitch of a mother, okay?
BTW, Helen Thomas isn’t a birther; she’s right. The White House ultimately has nothing to gain with a public war with Fox News. Stick to witty banter, and subtle jabs, and you’ll win. Otherwise, taking on Fox News, head-on, is like Stephen Hawking debating a 6-year-old. You punch up, as they say, not downward.
The illegal alien costume is a pun, kind of like you see in those Amelia Bedelia books, which I hear Fox and Friends also finds pretty hilarious.
Vitter’s only against inter-diaper sex. He’d never have sex with a gal who’s wearing huggies since he’s strictly a pampers kinda guy!
According to the Corner getting gunned down for being gay isn’t a good enough reason to quit elective office — being made fun of by bloggers and getting asked questions by reporters are the only legit reasons to leave office in midstream.
