WONKET EXCLUSIVE! MUST CREDIT WONKETTE!!!1!! Barack Obama has just arrived in Cushing, OK, to talk about energy and supporting this pipeline doohickey if it's safe, something something algae? On his way out, he stopped to shake hands with nice lady Donna Schoenkopf, who had apparently scammed her way in by pretending to be a reporter. "I was born in the same hospital as you, Kapiolani Hospital," she gushed, at which he stopped and turned back. "Do you have a birth certificate?" he asked her, because now he is apparently hilarious as well. She reports exclusively to Wonkette that she did not have an awesome witty comeback, but just said, "Yeah."
From a letter Schoenkopf wrote to Obama, inviting him to something called the Pottawattomie County Democrats St. Patrick's Day Commie-Thon and Socialiststravaganza last week, which he did not attend:
I am sure you know that Oklahoma is the reddest state in the Union and we Democrats have had a tough time of it here. But we are a feisty bunch and we NEVER give up. We thought you would like to see what it's like in the trenches. I mean, how great would it be for you to show up in Tecumseh, Oklahoma, population 6,457, in the heart of Republican territory?
It just takes my breath away to think about it.
Our lives have taken very similar paths. I am from Hawaii, too. I was born in the hospital YOU were born in (Kapiolani Maternity Hospital) in 1943. I was supposed to go to Punahou School, too, but my dad died when I was ten. He's buried in Punch Bowl, as your grandfather is. My mother and brothers and I moved to the States (as it was called then) in 1953.
I am a retired school teacher. Taught mostly third grade in the Inner City of Los Angeles for about twenty years. I am a version of a community organizer, too, came of age during the Civil Rights Movement, marched with Cesar Chavez, was my union rep for years, and got arrested for protesting nuclear testing in Nevada. Because I am from Hawaii, I have an intense love for the environment and even built my little house in the country in a sustainable, environmental way.
I am an ardent admirer of yours and … well, there are no words to express how I feel about you being the President of the United States of America.
Hope you can make it.
Aloha nui nui,
Donna Schoenkopf
Your liberal media at work.
'Donna Schoenkopf...pretending to be a reporter."
That worked out so well for Jason Mattera now everybody is giving it a try!
I did a google search on the name Schoenkopf, but all I got were pics of <a href="http:\/\/www.mediabistro.com\/fishbowlla\/files\/original\/commiegirl.jpg" target="_blank">this sexy lady</a> instead.
