DIPLOMATIC INCIDENTS

Did Obama Barf On Japan’s Prime Minister?!

Thursday, July 9th, 2009


Oh noes this is almost a diplomatic incident or something! Here is Barack Obama leaning ominously over the lap of Japanese Premier Taro Aso during a fancy G-8 summit dinner. White House photographer Pete Souza has surely been around long enough to remember the horrifying incident of 1992 when President George H.W. Bush vomited in the lap of Japanese premier Miyazawa Kiichi — after all, Souza was the White House photographer way back when Reagan was president. What, you don’t remember Bush 41 throwing up in his buddy’s lap? Well come on and look at the video! MORE »


MEGHAN MCCAIN IS NOW OFFICIALLY THE 'KING OF POP'

A Children’s Treasury of Presidents Posing With Michael Jackson

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

The man in the mirror ... is Barbara Bush Sr.!One-man circus Michael Jackson has officially died, and somebody is very, very happy about this news. (That “somebody” is Mark Sanford. Adios, Mark! Enjoy the rest of your life.) We, of course, could give a hoot about Michael Jackson, although your editor once free-lanced a “concert review” of Wacko Jacko’s post-pedophile (?) 1996 performance in Prague, and the National Enquirer paid something like $500, enough for a plane ticket back to America. So, thanks, Michael! Thanks for the good times, and thanks to Vladan for getting us the Ecstasy so we could tolerate that awful spectacle. Also, Michael, you sure did get yourself photographed with a lot of 1980s and ’90s presidents! You were truly the Barack Obama of that particular era. MORE »

Wax Demons.
From yesterday’s Power Lunch of the Living (?) Presidents, here’s an official White House photograph of George H.W. Bush Sr. “41″ and George W. Bush Jr. “43″ protecting the elitist patriot Barack Obama from these two scary old white-headed Democrats. Notice which two dudes aren’t wearing flag pins. [White House]

Gay Larry Craig’s Been Denying It Forever

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007


Jeez, the news sure was newsy back then, in 1982, when then-Congressman Larry Craig was also on national teevee denying he fucks boys. He was “unmarried by choice” at the time, and accused of getting Congressional pages HIGH ON COCAINE/MARIJUANA and screwing them at his house. MORE »


RONALD REAGAN

Nostalgic Trading Cards Remind Nation of Earlier Bush/Iran Shenanigans

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

good times ... - WonketteWhat’s more American than the Reagan-Bush administration arming the Islamofascist Islamists of Iran to pay the Ayatollahs back for releasing the American hostages as a political stunt to let Reagan and Bush 41 win the White House so they could pay international arms/drugs dealers to supply right-wing Central American death squads with money and weapons? These whimsical 1980s trading cards remind us that the same motherfucking people have been fucking up everything with the same fucking “enemies” or “allies” forever.

If the Bushes Hate Ron Paul, Then America Loves Ron Paul

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Here is something we’ve figured out about Ron Paul: We don’t care about him one way or the other, he’s got a dumb & humorless campaign staff, and his supporters are a bunch of dingbats who project whatever oddball stuff they believe on the guy. But you know what? We still endorse Ron Paul for president, because the Bushes have tried and failed to stop him in the past. MORE »


BILL CLINTON

Hey, Remember This Guy?

Monday, July 9th, 2007


A young Bill Clinton, a middle-aged George Bush and … well, hello little fellow! What did you have to say about the world, way back in 1992. Oh, it’s not a good idea to export all of America’s working-class jobs to China?

JENNA BUSH

Jenna’s Book About Country Her Grandfather Destroyed

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Hot shoe, burnin down the avenue. - WonketteThe NYT had some boring “trends” thing last weekend about Jenna Bush and the crazy new trend of having some ghostwritten crap book put out to rehabilitate a political person’s image, and we obviously ignored it … until the curious subject of “Jenna’s book” began to resonate in the usual foul way:

Jenna Bush, one of the twins better-known for partying than publishing, will write Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope, a book that chronicles the real-life saga of a 17-year-old single mother with HIV in Panama.

Bush, Panama, Horror, Bush, Panama, Horror … why did this sound so familiar? MORE »
