Thursday, April 13th, 2006

We were then deluged with reader mail about additional misdeeds by Senator Smith. MORE »


For the Record: The Spanking Fetishist Is at the Other Campus

arkansas%20map.gifHere at Wonkette, we own up to our mistakes. Earlier today, we stated that Robert Steinbuch, the former lover of Jessica Cutler who is now suing her for invasion of privacy, teaches at the same law school where Bill Clinton — another man with a thing for interns — once taught.

NYT Gives Mark Warner the Dorian Gray Treatment

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

20060315nytwarner.jpgOur gossip-obsessed sister reports today that the Times Magazine is copping to inadvertently altering a picture of former Virginia governor Mark Warner: “The jacket was charcoal, not maroon; the shirt was light blue, not pink; the tie was dark blue with stripes, not maroon.” In other words, Warner was clad in his inside-the-beltway dullest. We get it. MORE »

For the Record: Tom Malin Is a Gay Ex-Prostitute, Not an Ex-Gay Ex-Prostitute

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

tom malin 3.jpegThis may soon be moot, since early returns suggest that Tom Malin has lost to Jack Borden in the Democratic primary for Texas District 108. After today, we’ll have to find some other ex-prostitute running for office to make fun of.

But here at Wonkette, we’re all about accuracy, so we’d like to make this correction anyway. To the extent that any of our prior coverage suggested that Malin was an ex-gay ex-prostitute — i.e., someone who was rejecting both his past life as a prostitute and homosexuality — we apologize. It appears that Malin is still gay; he’s just no longer a prostitute.

After the jump, two reader emails on the subject.

For the Record: In Defense of Mary Kay Products

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

mary kay.gifYesterday we suggested that Tom Malin, a candidate for the Texas state legislature, has a bigger problem than his history as a gay prostitute. And what might that problem be? His sordid past as a top seller of Mary Kay cosmetics, which one Wonkette reader dismissed as “not highbrow.”

Well, disparaging Mary Kay cosmetics may be the most controversial thing we’ve done all week. After the jump, check out our extended correspondence on this tremendously important topic. (Money-back guarantee: it’s more fun to read about than the Dubai ports deal.)
