It’s an election season, so the generally readable New Yorker has made its quadrennial mutation into a presidential campaign magazine, which is boring. Also, the magazine has finally delved into the deeply rewarding tale of how Dan Savage turned “Santorum” into the name for the “frothy mix of lube and fecal matter” used to make McDonaldland anusburgers, or whatever.
The New Yorker, however, will not print the definition, because it is allegedly “unprintable” — a lie, because we just printed it out right here on our crappy laser printer that came free with a microwave. The haughty magazine will, however, print “Anal Rapists for Bush.” But it’s in the form of a quote, from the guy who managed the Bush/Cheney 2004 online campaign. And he’s obviously talking about a stunt launched by Wonkette:

Needs more Charles Addams cartoons.
Everything needs more Charles Addams cartoons.
Anal rapist? More back door takeovers for Romney. Pink slips for everyone!
more like pink socks…
Oh crap! Wonkette is a "liberal blog?" I'm outta here!
Really? I thought it was a blog dedicated to butt sex. And santorum…
What could possibly be of higher liberal value than squirming around in excrement?
It's the answer to your avatar's question. This is where your handbasket has guided you. We have arrived — wonkette is shown for its true colors in the harsh glare of an eleetist publication's attempt to pimp out our most tawdry and salacious offerings.
I cam here because Wonkette was a war blog.
And the buttsex.
And the gin.
And the pot.
Really, there are no other reasons, are there?
Worse yet. It's festering with worthy skum.
I thought it was an analomous injective.
Is there a caption contest for the article?
"The New Yorker is an analyst and a therapist…"
Santorum should hire Dr. Tobias Funke, former analyst/therapist or…"analrapist", as his adviser on medical issues/acting coaches.
I believe Dr. Funke was arrested for handing out his business cards :)
Truly one of Wonkette's finer moments.
Ah! Those were the days when Wonkette herself would graphically delineate just how far down the bulge in John Kerry's trousers went.
If I had known that the anal rapists were for Bush back in 04, I might have considered voting for him.
Anal rapists for bush–sounds like they can't make up their minds!
I will bet there are actual Anal Rapists for Santorum.
But do rapists use lube?
The considerate ones do.
And the
quickerslicker ones.Ew… you people are Liberals?!?
I am so proud to have helped achieve the coarsening of American political discourse!
That excites me, for some reason.
No small challenge, that.
Santorum is like the weather — everybody talks about it, but nobody wants to tell anyone that it's the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is frequently the result of anal intercourse.
Just like the weather, Santorum impacts everyone but you really want to avoid talking about it on a first date.
Take it from MissTaken, our Wonkette Dating Expert!
Seriously, can you imagine somebody bringing up frothy mixtures of lube and fecal matter that is frequently the result fo anal intercourse on a first date? Unless, of course, you met on http://www.eSantorum.com.
You're not supposed to have the anal sex until the second date!
NOW YOU TELL ME??
"But Sweetie, you know I am shipping out before we can have a second date. Do it for the troops, please?"
No such place, you terrible person.
Well, of COURSE I clicked. WTF do you think I am, man?
Yamamoto here. I onry read this because I rike Cialias, and I hear you have three month erections, not just four hour.
You been here four owa! You fuck like Killa whale!
Despite fact that you got little dingaling.
I bet Eustace Tilley already knows what Santorum is.
Wonkett was also mentioned regarding the latest outrage about the imperial Obamas having a fancy Halloween party two years ago, during a recession and "covering it up". http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal…
Fuuuucck us, eh girlz?
Remember when posters were funny and said "Anal Rapists For Bush" instead of the "Get That God Damned Black Man Outta My White House" posters of 2010?
Good times those were.
Bush was ARINO anyway.
ARYANINO
There's a new product out, Santorum Lite!
(All together now: "No shit?")
Crossing the gender divide.
Again, Liberal / Shmiberal – I just come here for the dick jokes. Or the Santorum jokes. Or a frothy mix of the two.
That was eight years ago. Wonkette is a long-term instrument to be used cautiously.
I guess this proves the theory that once it is on the Net is it forever. Which makes me wonder, were The Hanson's pre-Internet?
And the final Jeopardy answer is: "Santorum"
Doesn't anal rape lead to some sort of Santorum – I guess not if you don't lube, does spit count?
Apparently this man hasn't seen the hammering Barry has been taking from us MuthaSnarkers.
Huh? What is this post about, really?
In defense of Wonkette, only half of the "Anal Rapist for Bush" posters came from people that frequent here. The rest came from Dick Cheney's staff.
The last part is just screamin' for a Groucho sideways gaze, a tip of the cigar and a carefully crafted zinger!
I'm going to hang that excerpt on my fridge.
Next to that C+ report card and the Vicodin prescription.
Is this an actual real magazine, on paper and everything? Weird!
Yeah, they used to have those…they were big about when Nixon was prez.
Who knew, and why? Questions the NY'ers Publisher have prolly also been asking.
Anal Rapists for Bush, or whatever.
Great quote. Would love to hear more about this "or whatever" that he speaks of.
Dead giveaway that Bush/Cheney "online operations manager" Michael Turk was a Wonkette reader, and probably commenter.
The New Yorker is totes cool with anal action so long as it's non-consensual.
our crappy laser printer that came free with a microwave
where can i get that deal?
This is what happens when you hire Tina Brown as editor. Harold Ross and William Shawn wrote about fecal matter all the time.
Baffling. Anal Rape and Santorum are intrinsically linked. They belong together. Sort of like the way Sterno belongs on Condaleeza Rice's feminine hygiene shelf.
Speaking of Wonkette In The News, last night's interview guest on Colbert was Bill Moyers, who quoted "a friend of mine" who said that "I''ll believe that corporations are people when Texas executes one."
That line is apparently also on tee-shirts for sale somewhere.
Did the line originate here? Was hollywooddood the perp? If so, we're proud of you, dood.
Wait, we're a "liberal blog"? And here I was like some common fool thinking that this was a snarkblog.
And the inspirational excuses for drinking.
I thought you, Wonkette's sex expert (or sexpert) already knew!
And (sigh) Barb.
This one's good, too: "You know, it's my birthday…"
