It becomes 2008 soon, so we have to do some sort of year-end awards. We wanted to just play it simple with a Person of the Year, but realized that two options — Larry Craig and The Paultard — would trounce the competition with their auras of massive homosexuality and abject failure. So we’re going to keep that heavyweight matchup for Person of the Year, and we’ll also have a Vice Person of the Year for other notables. Voting ends on… lemme pick an arbitrary time here… 11 am on Monday, December 31. The winner will be announced very shortly thereafter, because we have a half day and will want to leave. Vote for your ticket after the jump! MORE »

Oh glorious Dickcember, the Idaho Statesman totes went there! Today it published the accounts of five gay men — including Wonkette-American hero David “Poofter” Phillips — who have claimed to have had sexual experiences with the Super Tuber, Larry Craig. More to come on the Statesman’s early Dickmas gift in the near future. [Idaho Statesman]

David Phillips, license plate rights activist and onetime Larry Craig boy toy, won his battle against the Virginia DMV and can proudly continue cruising the streets of Arlington with his POOFTER plates. “VA DMV called this morning to back down,” Phillips told our Condi correspondent Peter Huestis. “I had sent their generic plates back last week directly to the head of the DMV with a very strong letter regarding First Amendment rights. The new manager for Special Plates called to acknowledge receipt of the substitute plates and to orally declare the issue closed. As I told my office mate, don’t fuck with a queen over 40 — you will not win.” MORE »

The license plates cops are at it again. First they roughed up David “Poofter” Phillips, now they’re going after an ex-cop sporting anti-Osama tags. Damn dirty godless heathens!

David Phillips — The Great White Bear, the Poofter, the legend who suffered a “Santorum-laced” evening with Larry Craig in 1987 so that our children might live in a better world — appeared on the Sirius OutQ radio show with Michelangelo Signorile last Friday. There, he discussed the two most important things ever: license plates and sex with Larry Craig. Check out the full audio at Pam’s House Blend.

The Bear is back! And now he’s in the cross hairs of the mean old Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles for having a really gay license plate. I guess this is the sort of low-level, left-handed payback you get when you cross the very powerful Sen. Larry Craig. MORE »

This week, Larry Craig, David Phillips, Robert Novak, Monica Goodling, and Barbara Bush were all spotted being various degrees of famous at various places by our spies and operatives. Voyeuristic fun, as always, is after the jump. MORE »

Out of all the fallout of last week’s story of bear David Phillips and Sen. Larry Craig’s seedy Hill hookup, and Phillips’ non-response to the story, we most enjoyed Air America Media’s The Young Turks coverage hosted by the talented Cenk Uygur, Jimmy Kimmell’s distant cousin, who was able to give a newsy, casual recap of the latest developments without giggling.

Yesterday, David Phillips shocked us back to the 1980s with the tale of his sloppy, cheap and degrading sex tryst with Sen. Larry Craig. Today, we have been bombarded with various reactions, comments and interview requests. The first response came from the senator-sucking bear himself, David Phillips, who apparently flew into some sort of red-faced rage of embarrassment when he first saw the post. While he agreed to come forward with his story, seeing his hairy, bearish image and his own words freaked him out. He finally calmed down, but not without some left-handed threats to Princess Sparkle Pony (our guest editor who broke the story). Phillips promised to track down Pony only wearing a Laura Bush mask and show him the business end of a strap-on dildo. Promises, promises. MORE »
