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]

So long to the mirthful tap-tap-tap of Endless Cummer, the bite of Cocktober, and what turned out to be a mildly gusty Blowvember. We will commemorate your legacies during Dickcember, the winner of our poll. Write-in candidate “Jizzember” almost stole the crown from Dickcember, the wealthiest and most connected candidate, but get real — this is Amerka, and we don’t elect underdogs. Anyway, with Hanucockkah, Cockzaa and Dickmas all integral aspects of the Dickcember melting poofter (no? not working?), don’t be surprised to see some secret, usually gay, usually hypocritical, usually ugly and always funny dicks in Wonkette news. Happy… Whoridays?
