George & Hillary Take Reign Of Torture On The Road

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

For those of you that were upset with George Stephanopoulos’ performance in the April 16 Democratic debate, you’ll now get a chance to be upset again! Georgie’s Sunday morning ABC teevee show, This Week, will broadcast live from Indiana with Hillary Clinton in a town hall setting. What questions will George throw in the mix this time? “Do you think that Jeremiah Wright, who is running for president in a big-nosed Barack Obama outfit, has bombed any Americas recently?” [Michael Calderone]


Is George Stephanopoulos Actually Dead Now?

Thursday, April 17th, 2008


Red alert! It appears Kos and his liberal netroots have breached the inner circle of ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos and killed him to death. He is a Greek “white ethnic” so that is a Hate Crime. George Stephanopoulos was 16 years old. [YouTube]


Sorry About That Rigged Election

Monday, January 7th, 2008

It’s a new year and Allen Raymond wants you to know he’s sorry. After he shut down the Democratic Party’s phone lines in New Hampshire in 2002, Raymond was shocked - shocked - to discover that his “old pals” at the RNC would throw him “under the bus” when they were found out. I’m sure that was hard to see coming around the bend since they were running such a scrupulous operation that everyone could be proud of. Allen served three months in prison and now he’s learned something from his mistakes. To err is human, right? That’s why he’s written a tell-all book! MORE »


Newfound Sympathy for New Hampshirianites

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

NH1.jpg This is the press room for the ABC News/Facebook debates (of which they’re only holding TWO back-to-back). Videographer Liz Glover and I have staked a spot here in the gymnasium of St. Anslem’s college, which looks less like a college than some asshole prep school Mittens attended. It’s actually called Saint Anselm college, and we know that because the school gave all press cards saying “DON’T” call it “St. Anslem’s college”. Like anyone gives a shit about this school? St. Anslem’s it will be alllll night.

More to come from St. Anslem’s Preparatory Middle School For Young Princes in the next hour or so. Debates — the Party of Mittens first — commence at seven! Liz went out to get our drinks.


Did You Guys Know That Bush Used To Drink Alcohols?

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007


Aww, George W. Bush is being a… wuzzitcalled… compassionate conservative? Was that the term that he once used to describe himself, before like the wars and the lying and stuff? ABC News’ Martha Raddatz spent a whole day with the president yesterday, and she got him to be all honest-like about that old alcohol addiction of his — another relic of makefunnery circa 1999-2000. Again, before all the wars and the lying and stuff. [ABC News]


Hillary’s Monday: Bad News Bears

Monday, November 26th, 2007

we both go down togetherHillary Clinton is dying. Not literally, but on some sort of quasi-micro-day-to-day level, her campaign is completely ruined forever and eternally! Between a new Zogby poll that shows her losing to every major Republican candidate in hypothetical matchups and Obama calling her White House experience complete poppycock, Hillary is a saaaaad wittle panda today.

Fred Thompson Compares Dems to NASCAR or Raccoons or Something

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

goddamn tadpoles' faultGoddamnit Fred Thompson is an idiot. Idiot idiot idiot dumbface! The latest example: Because Rudy Giuliani attended a NASCAR race Sunday, Thompson was probably worried that his redneck capital was being infringed upon. To recover lost hick points in Iowa on Tuesday, Thompson made a NASCAR simile about Democrats. Surely his NASCAR voter base appreciated the comparison. MORE »

In a new WaPo-ABC News Poll for Demrats in Iowa, Obama leads Clinton, 30 percent to 26. John “How Fast Can a Politician Die?” Edwards polls at 22 percent, and Fatpants Richardson garners 11. In other news: Mike Gravel is still running for president. [WP]


Monday, November 12th, 2007

A hazy, unconfirmed source is claiming that ABC News’ Sam Donaldson’s number appears in the phone records of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, a.k.a. the DC Madam. If true, it appears Barbara Walters is officially tapped out. [Big Head DC via Radar]

UPDATE: Nevermind. Big Head DC just made shit up, so the universe is back in order. Watch Radar strip down its editor.


Election A Year Away… Still

Monday, November 5th, 2007

colbert wuz hereHey everyone, only 365 days left (leap year!) until November 4, 2008, when we hold our massive election things! What a wonderful opportunity to listen to our candidates’ stump speeches and teevee bits a few more thousand times before making a lesser-of-sixteen-evils decision, and then regretting it and voting for other people two years later.
