Wonkette

We were going to write about it, then I forgot to, then we got distracted with that lady getting killed in Pakistan. Anyway, here it is: Some unfuckwithable, damn-near-empirical evidence that Ron Paul is a racist. The Kos commenters have taken a liking to the term “Paultards” it seems, except they frequently spell it “PaulTards.” Please, someone go correct them. [Daily Kos]

Trusted Internet political bastion Right Wing News held its 6th annual Conservative Blog awards, and your Wonkette is a winner! Well, at least we placed. In the “Most Overrated Blog” category, Wonkette tied with frienemy Redstate and something called Power Line for fourth place. Fourth place, of course, is the new first place, so huzzah for our internets! The traditional first place for overratedness went to Daily Kos, followed by Instapundit and Hot Air. Clearly these awards are definitive, because Hot Air also won the top spot in “Best Blog Overall.” Go team go! [RWN]

“Web pundits like Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos and Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo score high likability ratings with certain population segments, but their awareness numbers, which are more important than appeal, E-Poll notes, are barely on the radar screen. The same is largely true of elite newspaper columnists like Thomas Friedman, Maureen Dowd, Robert Novak, E.J. Dionne and Holman Jenkins.” [Forbes]

Teevee host Bill O’Reilly told his viewers to check out this new thing called the Internets, which apparently harbor insurgents who think Bill O’Reilly’s a cunt. Next thing you know, the Daily Kos libtard website was getting all kinds of hilarious e-mail like this: MORE »

It’s fun watching the political sites destroy all their candidates before the primaries. Here’s a headline from popular libtard site the “Daily” Kos, proving that Barry Hussein Obama was mostly plotting 90-minute sessions with free-lance girls from Georgetown. MORE »

Right now in Austin, millions are celebrating the announcement of the 2007 Bloggie Award Winners. And guess who won the Best Political Weblog? That’s right, your beloved Wonkette! MORE »

* Bill Clinton might have called hookers “just to talk,” but he never inhaled, or finished himself off, or, whatever. [Shenanigans]
* Joe Biden tells a gym full of high school kids about all the countries he can’t wait to start bombing. [PrezVid]
* Bill Kristol does a blawg about how HuffPo commenters hate America because they wish Dick Cheney was dead. Great start, Bill! [Worldwide Standard]
* George Pataki considers whether to waste his time running for president. [Hotline on Call]
* Kos nerds spend most of their time talking about Bush and Lieberman — glad we stopped reading that site two years ago. [MyDD]
* He’s not in office anymore, but we know you still hate him — Rick Santorum goes journo. [TAPPED]
* Bill O’Reilly: “the clown that no one laughs at, they all just wish he’d die.” [ePluribus]

The Aryan Conspiracy against America’s first half-black president continues, as proven by this actual CNN screen capture. Also, we’re supposed to believe anybody at CNN cares about “Obama bin Laden” in 2007. Not even Bush pretends to act like Bin Laden is a big scary bogeyman these days! MORE »

While we were enjoying whatever people enjoy over the long War On Christmas weekend, that secret NRA graphic novel we discovered was causing all sorts of ruckus.

A bunch of dull morons over at the Daily Kos spent a lonesome day “proving” how we magically created all this beautifully frightening artwork because “Wonkette: Liar” (seriously, that was their headline). Smarter people over at a California concealed-weapon-permit site had more interesting things to say, but concluded the NRA comic was a hoax not by Wonkette but by a literary website we’ve never heard of — that theory lasted long enough to make it to Boing Boing, while CBS News producers desperately sought comment from Wonkette editors … in the comments.

More crap, after the jump.

If you write fawning crap about politicians on your blog, apparently those politicians will give you huge piles of money to “keep up the good work.” Who knew? MORE »
