But he apparently really wants to lose with John McCain this fall, so he has announced the impending tinkle of little wedding bells!<span id="more-400891"></span></p>
<p>Charlie was married for like five days way back in 1980, but that didn&#8217;t work out so well, due to differences between Charlie and the lady, whoever she was. He had <a href="http://wonkette.com/262590/florida-actress-lands-new-role">some fake girlfriend last year;</a> we don&#8217;t remember what happened to her. And there was that one time <a href="http://wonkette.com/212485/jeb-bush-defends-charlie-crists-sexuality">Jeb Bush called a reporter a jackass</a> for asking about Crist&#8217;s sexytime or something.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dnc-summer-dress-code.jpg" title="Cinco de Mayo" class="left" height="250" />Guess what, Democratic National Committee kids working through the hot summer months while everybody else is pretty much not thinking at all about the election?</p>
<p>The DNC says you can sorta dress down for summer &#8212; but not like a <i>complete</i> whore or a bum! Read the new Dress Code and feel the wind beneath your &#8230; uh, skirt.<span id="more-400888"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>SUMMER DRESS CODE:</p>
<p>Good news.  We are relaxing the dress code.  So what does that mean for you?  The expectation is that your attire remain professional and crisp despite the weather.  </p>
<p>Clean, no holes, no frayed bottoms jeans that fit properly for an office environment are acceptable. </p>
<p>Professional looking casual shirts and blouses - which means collar shirts for men, no graphics or advertisements and appropriate neck lines and waist lengths for women.  Summer dresses and skirts should also remain professional in style and length.</p>
<p>Long pants and capri length pants only.  Bermuda or knee length shorts are for the weekend BBQ. </p>
<p>One final word and a favorite for many staff. Acceptable footwear are shoes or sandals only - sorry, no thwack, thwack, thwack -  translation NO FLIP FLOPS.</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
Come back refreshed and ready To Change America and work your heart out for Barak Obama!</p>
<p>THAT IS ALL FOR NOW&#8230;ENJOY THE FOURTH OF July!</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes it&#8217;s true: The jackass who sent this email from <i>DNC Headquarters</i> doesn&#8217;t know how to spell Barack Obama, either.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://wonkette.com/assets/resources/2008/03/morans.jpg" class="right" width="180" />Our pretend buddy and former colleague Will Leitch <a href="http://www.observer.com/2008/deadspins-will-leitch-joins-new-york">left the sports blog</a> Deadspin last week. As he invented that popular website and has a reputation for being an agreeable human being &#8212; rare for the Internet &#8212; we were interested in his <a href="http://deadspin.com/5019137/someone-hates-you-online-try-not-to-be-offended">parting words.</a> Here are some of them.<span id="more-400887"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>When you hear old-school folks like Bob Costas talk about how &#8220;meaner&#8221; everyone has gotten online, it&#8217;s clear they&#8217;re missing the point. It&#8217;s not that people have suddenly become cruel toward you; it&#8217;s just that you can hear them now. Twelve percent of this country thinks Barack Obama a Muslim. You think 100 percent of your readers/viewers are going to love you? But so many people have constructed their careers in a plastic bubble, where only their friends and supporters talk about their work. Now that the Web&#8217;s here — and we use the word &#8220;now&#8221; awfully liberally — it&#8217;s amazing how unprepared they are to handle criticism.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/lolz.jpg" alt="OMG!" title="OH NOES!" class="right" />Oil hit a new record price today, hooray! It briefly touched <a href="http://www.inthenews.co.uk/news/autocodes/countries/saudi-arabia/oil-hits-146-in-london-$1230104.htm">$146.23 a barrel</a> before settling down to the much more normal price of, <a href="http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-07-03-voa33.cfm">er, $145.85.</a> A gallon of gasoline is averaging $4.09 in the patriotic United States &#8212; with D.C. at $4.16, New York at $4.30 and West Coast prices over $4.50. Why do they <a href="http://www.fuelgaugereport.com/sbsavg.asp">keep going up, up, up?</a> Because some goddamned Christians are showing up at gas stations and <i>praying</i>, that&#8217;s why.<span id="more-400882"></span></p>
<p>Rockville preacher Rocky Twyman started the goofy hobby in April, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/05/30/ST2008053003189.html">annoying station owners and managers in D.C.</a> &#8212; and that&#8217;s when prices began rising rapidly. Undeterred, Twyman has spread his dumb movement to places like Florida and Ohio and California. Wherever his prayerful dupes show up, gas prices rise even faster.</p>
<p>Look at these jackasses:<br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/miE1kZz7XLw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/miE1kZz7XLw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>How do you top that? By demonstrating at the Saudi Embassy in D.C., that&#8217;s how!</p>
<blockquote><p>On Monday, Twyman decided to take his movement from Exxon and Shell stations straight to the steps of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C., hoping to encourage the oil-rich country to raise the amount of barrels they release each day from 200,000 to 1.2 million. </p></blockquote>
<p>Saudis have a totally different God that the American Jesus, Rocky! You&#8217;re doing it wrong.</p>

Let&#8217;s learn more about these savage creeps and the many rules of etiquette they have broken.<span id="more-400881"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>At first it looked like Barack Obama <a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/07/obama-fist-bump.html">refused to trade terrorist fist jabs</a> with a little boy, but in fact he was refusing to write his name on the kid&#8217;s hand. (Video <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5294981">here.</a>) This is probably because he knows what kind of price an Obama-autographed human hand would fetch on eBay, and he is an elitist who doesn&#8217;t want the Poors to get rich on his autographs.</li>
<li>Barack Obama called a reporter <a href="http://wonkette.com/390555/barack-obama-is-misogynist-pig">&#8220;sweetie&#8221;</a> and then issued an <a href="http://wonkette.com/390742/barack-obama-says-sorry-for-the-sexist-name+calling">insincere-sounding apology.</a></li>
<li>He also <a href="http://www.weshow.com/us/p/24146/barack_obama_gets_angry">yelled at a racist old lady</a> once.</li>
<li>John McCain called his wife <a href="http://wonkette.com/376849/john-mccain-called-wife-awful-word-that-rhymes-with-hunt-and-punt">That Word</a> that one time.</li>
<li>John McCain is also constantly flying into fits of rage, usually when he&#8217;s feeling <a href="http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1962449/posts">defensive</a> about the latest terrible thing he&#8217;s done.</li>
</ul>
<p>America should have a do-over on this whole election and nominate the <a href="http://wonkette.com/272955/mitt-romney-will-be-a-great-commander-in-chief-of-abu-ghraib">courteous, clean-cut dog torturer</a> and the lady who <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A02E1D7123EF930A35751C0A9679C8B63">repaid almost $90,000 worth of gifts</a> from her shady friends when it became too embarrassingly tacky to hold on to them.</p>
