Ask and ye shall receive. Thanks to a tipster, we have a new diagram that explains how this AOF tomfoolery works and its place in life. It’s a work in progress, but it helps clueless outsiders better understand the various cliques and how they relate. “For the most part, they’re a decent group of guys,” said one Hill staffer of the Axis, as we now call them. “The problem is that in the group, there’s a couple really nasty douchebags.”

With their frosted highlights, shiny faces and blinding white smiles, the Axis of Fun have infiltrated the highest offices of our nation’s capital. And good for them! We wanted to learn more about this group of prancing, preening, fun-loving Twinks. We asked around (thanks everybody!), and the overwhelming consensus was that this is indeed an organized group celebrating many forms of douchebaggery. But some people had nice things to say, like the woman who wrote a heartfelt note telling us when she was new to town, the AOF took her in like a cold, hungry, wet-eyed orphan. And she was, you know, a she! So maybe they’re not totally bad.

As Mike McHaney heads to his court hearing today, friends and acquaintances of the disgraced staffer for Sen. Maria Cantwell are coming forward to speak about his history of odd behavior. By now we’ve heard a few more things. According to those who know him, he got his start in politics doing advance work for Bill Clinton’s campaign (his parents, who live in Little Rock, Arkansas, are allegedly friends with the Clintons). Two people that have worked with McHaney have contacted Wonkette, and have allowed us to tell their stories on the condition we not use their names. The first source worked with McHaney on several campaigns. “I knew him well and was around him a lot. He was very shady.”

Wonkette thanks the tipsters who sent us an invite to the Axis of Fun 2nd Annual Janky Christmas Sweater Festival of Lights! The group, which lists alleged kiddie sex predator and former Senate staffer Mike McHaney among its members, is an exclusive, catty, gay social group that apparently gets together to quote Mean Girls (some call themselves The Plastics!), takes over Reboboth with monogrammed beach chairs, and pursues all sort of self-aware douchebaggery. And yes, they even have Republicans! In other words, according to many, the group is not very well-liked. The invite, after the jump, has Axis of Fun’s own version of Jingle Bells!

Former Senate staffer Mike McHaney, who’a arrest Wonkette reported yesterday, belonged to an informal gay social group known as the Axis of Fun. The group, a source tells us, is not very well-liked. “They think they are the big shots within the gay community around DC and play kickball together and canoodle around Rehobeth.” MORE »
