Wonkette Ladies On/Making Internet Television!

by Josh Fruhlinger  10:02 am August 20, 2010

Ha ha, look at how MAD she isMore institutionalized reverse sexism, with Wonkette ladies getting involved in exciting video internet projects, while the menfolk just sit around in their underwear at home, eating 100 calorie packs of Cheetos and scratching themselves. (This is because Communist Woodrow Wilson gave them the right to vote, probably.) Sara Benincasa got invited back by Alyona Minkovski, who is mad that we called her a Russian spy (to which we say, once you stop spying for Russia, Alyona, we’ll talk). Why is Sara so angry? Is it because of how the babushkas tarted up her hair and makeup? Is it because the right wing is “invading [her] earpiece?” Find out, after the jump.

It’s because everyone hates the Muslims, actually. Watch her shake her fist at Islamophobia!

Also, the hipsters at Vice Magazine have hired Wonkette’s Liz Glover to produce some political Internet video television show. Disappointingly, she’s not even in this video, in front of the camera at least, but watch it anyway if you want to see a hip dude in a hat interview a hip dude from Reason magazine in an extremely well-appointed office, which was paid for with food stamps and farm subsidies.

“When you start talking about shadow organizations, it doesn’t end well!” Ha ha, words to live by, sir.

Ms. Benincasa may have to quit her job to recover her First Amendment rights. RELOAD!

JMP August 20, 2010 at 10:16 am

Well the former male Wonkette editors get to go on Olberman; apparently though you just can’t get on the TV while still here.

She looks like that Michele Bachmann I see on wonkette so often, but she sounds like some kind of anti-Bachmann. This is confusing me.

Tube City August 20, 2010 at 10:21 am

Is it about ladies or gingers, Josh?

chaste everywhere August 20, 2010 at 10:21 am

Sara Benincasa versus Alyona Minkovski Shmara Shmenincasa shmersus Shmalyona Shminkovski. (Needs less earnestness. But there’s a pair of faces for TV!)

CrunchyKnee August 20, 2010 at 10:22 am

That saucy commie Russian spy is wonderful! She melts the anger from my clutchy balls.

Shorter the second video – aint nothing worse than old hipsters.

I think “If you were in Obama’s shoes right now” was bait for a known Barry stalker.

just pixels August 20, 2010 at 10:27 am

Inside the Pew poll are some interesting (if you are wonky enough) points.

- people who disapprove of Obama think he’s a Muslim, or vis-a-versa.
- 10% of those who think Obama’s a Muslim say they learned that from his own words and actions.
- only 14% of people think Obama’s religious beliefs play a big part in his decisions; like he’s Muslim but doesn’t let it get in the way or something

Sara “Natasha” Benincasa, big star now in Russian television. Looking very sexiful in her red lipsticks and new capitalist hair do talking to little babushka with GMT stamped on her good, strong proletariat ass (ass could pull plow!).
Also happy I am, half of mother Russia burned to cinder therefor no longer burning! The people have triumphed, long life Chairman Yuri!

Terry August 20, 2010 at 10:27 am

Sara, honey, don’t let Josh tease you. You look FIERCE in red. The last two times you were on the show, you looked like you were in a Chairman Mao phase of dressing.

…and Josh, you are from Baltimore. Put down the 100 calorie packs of ANYTHING and start eating the Utz I know are somewhere in your kitchen or TV room. Hopefully, you never bought them from Lexington Market, though. http://www2.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=17840

Could we please have some video of Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson as a cold shower?

freakishlystrong August 20, 2010 at 10:31 am

What’s next, Newell on Morning Douche?

Toomush Infermashun August 20, 2010 at 10:33 am

Okay, I know this is inappropriate, but, Sara, you can squish my anger balls any time you like…(Oh, wait, it IS appropriate, because, Wonkette, whatever…) Okay, is it appropriate if I say “Please…?” Pleaze…!

Noonan August 20, 2010 at 10:34 am

That screencap up top has a frightening resemblence to Frisch’s Ayn Rand. I mean no offense by that; it is a screencap after all.

Toomush Infermashun August 20, 2010 at 10:37 am

And, by the way, “kids in the conservative movement…” WHAT??? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww….

Sleeves August 20, 2010 at 10:39 am

[re=642546]JMP[/re]: Perhaps they look like pain from Clubber Lang. They’re scared. You can see it, see that look in the eyes! of programming. Glasses on our Wonkette don’t fool anybody.

S.Luggo August 20, 2010 at 10:39 am

Hmmmm. Top photo alt txt should be, “No more wire hangers.” Très, très Joan Crawford.

hockeymom August 20, 2010 at 10:40 am

Sara has kind of a Joan from Mad Men vibe going. Approve!
Also..smart and funny.

policonoclast August 20, 2010 at 10:43 am

why is it that I need to watch Russian TV and Al-Jazeera English to see actual reporting by professionals??? hot ones, also.

TheevingWonker August 20, 2010 at 10:51 am

Alyona, I served with Ann Chapman, I knew Ann Chapman, Ann Chapman was a friend of mine. Alyona, you’re no Ann Chapman.

[Dear NSA/CIA/FBI...J/K!!!]

bfstevie August 20, 2010 at 11:01 am

That woman is stupid enough to be on Fox news. She’s stupid enough to watch Fox news. All she needs is a bit of peroxide and she can sidle up to Steve Doocy. How long did it take to teach her to say “Benincasa”?

Noodle Salad August 20, 2010 at 11:02 am

Alyona, I loved you, but then you abandoned our 2 week old halfbreed (communist/capitalist christian) love child by the roadside. Fortunately your Russian doctors will save him, and raise him to be a cold blooded judo rock star prime minister.

ManchuCandidate August 20, 2010 at 11:02 am

I laughed at the photo. It screams “I vill krush… your ballsack.”

Manos: Hands of Fate August 20, 2010 at 11:04 am

Russia TV is way awesome. It’s like community access TV for wanna be pundits. I mean I actually know people who are invited on to this channel as “experts” on American politics.

Knightro829 August 20, 2010 at 11:18 am

[re=642598]Manos: Hands of Fate[/re]: RT is to the Kremlin what Fox News is to the GOP. The first time I watched an RT broadcast I felt like I needed a shower after watching all of the blatant fringe-left anti-western propaganda they spew…and I’m just about as liberal as they come!

Prommie August 20, 2010 at 11:18 am

The sara, she is doing the Borat thing with them a little, maybe? Reverse-Borat? You want that SNL, sara, and you deserve it, too. Do the rooskies even know you are playing a character when they interview you, or do they think you are serious?

Prommie August 20, 2010 at 11:21 am

Just stay away from Fred Armeson, Sara, that old goat, and humping that little Chris Elliot’s daughter (talk about the nepotism, too, she stole your spot).

CapnFatback August 20, 2010 at 11:22 am

[re=642577]hockeymom[/re]: Really? I get a Peggy groove from the photo.

TheevingWonker August 20, 2010 at 11:33 am

[re=642593]bfstevie[/re]: She flubbs words ALL-of-the-time…it would be pretty small of me to point those out, tho…we all have our moments. So instead, here is my growing list of Alyona-isms. You are guaranteed to hear at LEAST two per show, especially in her Op/Ed segments:

“So, how is all this possible in a country where…”
“Or perhaps”
“It seems”
“Causing quite a stir”
“…and frankly…”
“…come to think of it…”
“…I think we all know…”
“…sit back, and see…”
“…Just a suggestion.”

I know…I need help. I’m just so fascinated by RT/TAS…

BlueStateLiberal August 20, 2010 at 11:47 am

You can tell Sara’s mad because she keeps rolling her eyes and twirling her hair. Go girl-power!

It’s also interesting that the more overwhelming evidence there is that Obama is not and has never been a Muslim, the more Americans think he is one. Go American brain power!

Neilist August 20, 2010 at 12:07 pm

Sara: You can hit the Jew over the head with a bag of sugar, or beat out that rhythm on a drum.

What’s it going to be?

But either way, welcome to “YOU’VE SOLD OUT!”

[I told you to keep that bitch Bottles away: She's trying to kill me.]

Got any groatclusters?

WhatTheHeck August 20, 2010 at 12:08 pm

Sara had the last laugh on RT by wearing red right down to her bolsi bikini briefs.
Oh those red leeps.

bago August 20, 2010 at 12:19 pm

Lewinsky hair is SO 90′s.

El Pinche August 20, 2010 at 12:45 pm

[re=642578]policonoclast[/re]: werd. Al-Jazeera rocks.

FIVE AND A HALF MADRASAS, ALAN!

Manos: Hands of Fate August 20, 2010 at 1:02 pm

[re=642611]Knightro829[/re]: It’s actually owned by Russia as in state-controlled TV, as opposed to Fox which owns the Republicans. Way more clever than Radio Moscow however.

marioninnyc August 20, 2010 at 1:10 pm

Will Sara be bikini mud-wrestling with Pam Geller anytime soon? Of course when you mud-wrestle with Pam Geller you get dirty and Pam Geller loves it, but it may be necessary to take the biatch down once and for all for the good of the country. Sara, have you been using your thigh master? You must prepare!

FlipOffResearch August 20, 2010 at 1:11 pm

Alyona said it best at 6:21 “How do you govern a country, where everyone just blatantly refuses to look at the facts.” I run into that sort of ignorance all the time.

If I may make a suggestion to Wonkette, if one of you guys is going to be on TV, post an alert so your throngs of adoring fans can watch it live.

Guppy06 August 20, 2010 at 1:11 pm

The first rule of being a Russian spy is don’t talk about being a Russian spy!

What I like are the time zones they cycle through. They’ve got UTC (as “GMT”) while the Brits are on Summer Time, they’ve got Paris/Berlin/Kaliningrad, and then they skip to Moscow. Kiev, Minsk and Helsinki don’t get time until they come back to the Motherland!

I don’t get RT on my basic cable, do they play Mussorgsky like the Voice of Moscow, or just go straight for the Soviet Russian National Anthem? The Internationale?

But srsly, where does the SVR get all the eye candy?

sezme August 20, 2010 at 1:29 pm

Alyona Minkovski can spy on me anytime!

donner_froh August 20, 2010 at 1:42 pm

Alyona Minkovski has a delightfully heart-shaped face.

natoslug August 20, 2010 at 3:53 pm

Unfortunately, I find myself agreeing with the pollees who feel Muslims shouldn’t be allowed on the Supreme Court, at least not practicing Muslims. Of course, I also feel that practicing Christians, Jews, Buddhists or anyone with religious beliefs should be barred from public office. I’m a broad-spectrum religious bigot, I guess. If you want to be in charge of policies that affect people in the here and now, you need to be focused on that, not on some theoretical afterlife and appeasing your lordly cloud-Dom.

slappypaddy August 20, 2010 at 4:06 pm

four out of five americans believe that santa claus died for your sins.

three out of five americans would beat the tooth fairy with a baseball bat for being a faggot pervert who sneaks into the bedrooms of children at night.

one out of every four americans has a stick jammed up his or her ass.

go figure.

natoslug August 20, 2010 at 4:36 pm

[re=642969]slappypaddy[/re]: That stick keeps me from slouching. Plus I like the tingle.

RT studios doubles as a cattery. 100s of cats and kittens live in the control room.

All the boys think she’s a spy. She’s got…

hmm… actually they are a little Bette Davis-y.

nice wardrobe upgrade girl! lookin good! please don’t ever wear a sweatshirt on teevee again! it’s not flattering to you!

sarachicad August 20, 2010 at 7:23 pm

i’d like to see more analysis, too, sara. like, why aren’t you questioning these polls–if they’re still calling land lines that seriously skews the poll results. especially considering young people/poors are less likely to have land lines, no?

Godless Liberal August 20, 2010 at 7:42 pm

Look, if Sara’s never going to make out with Alyona, I don’t know why I’m even watching anymore. Every time I see one of these videos posted, I take off my pants and cover myself with baby oil, and then it’s just punditry, reasoned analysis, and intelligent conversation.

rocktonsammy August 20, 2010 at 9:45 pm

Are anger balls the new truck nutz?

Koch Fembot August 20, 2010 at 11:51 pm

My anger ball is purple.
