Famous Bill Clinton centrism manufacturer the Democratic Leadership Council is said to be “out of money” and will soon close, likely yet another victim of Chinese labor that can sell out core values of the party quicker and cheaper. (They should have never supported that free trade stuff.) Since its president, Bruce Reed, left to [...]

Evan Bayh wants everyone to know that Democrats are going to lose a lot of seats in the midterms this year. “I think it’s of comparable magnitude,” he said, referring to party losses in 1980 and 1994. One of those seats the Democrats will lose is Bayh’s, because he likes to drop out of elections [...]

Has the hilariously factless trope-goblin Chuck Lane, Washington Post editorial board member and off-and-on columnist, not yet been cemented as a Wonkette Character yet? Guy’s been on a tear! Here’s the deal: Chuck Lane is a Very Serious Centrist who sneers at the far-left legislative agenda of Barack Obama and is very concerned about the [...]

Whoa, a long-ish speech with the wife and two muppets? He didn’t even lose an election earlier today, and he’s not resigning immediately, so… why he must just be very self-absorbed! Here is why he is not running: Congress is broken and our nation is on the brink of failure, so like a brave statesman, [...]

Yes he is a terrible monster, but really? Seriously? Seriously is this actually literal? “Bayh made the decision not to run on Friday, telling a small group of senior staff, but he did not tell President Obama or Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid until today. His aides say he had been struggling with the decision [...]

In his final “fuck all of you, supposed colleagues” to the Democratic party, Very Serious About The Deficits blogger-hating corporobot Evan Bayh has decided not to run again, just like we knew he would, EXCLUSIVE, MUST CREDIT WONKETTE, &c… He is doing this because why? Because he had a 20-point cushion in polls and was [...]

Your Wonkette has it on very good authority (a random tip from a random tipster) that the guy who was maybe going to run for president before pussing out the last time around, the lamest of President Obama’s would-be vice presidential picks, Indiana’s Senator Evan Bayh, is going to announce his retirement today. Really!

The creation of Judd Gregg and Kent Conrad’s Magical Budget Cutting Commission From Space, members of which would decide what gets cut from the budget and then tell Congress “pass this thing to save $$$,” has failed on the Senate floor, 53-46, this being one of those things needing 60 votes. It became a problem [...]

Terrible Indiana person Evan Bayh, the very serious Deficit Hawk, is concerned about the Security issues surrounding the big news story of last week, when Tiger Woods used his three-wood to have an affair with Michaele and Tareq Salahi in his SUV in the White House on Thanksgiving. (Ha your editor didn’t read any news [...]

THEY ACTUALLY DID IT: *clap* *clap* to the Stay Red Kansas blog. Since it seems certain that Evan Bayh won’t get the nod, although who ever knows anything, they actually have made good on their pledge to SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN. That’s just too awesome for words. What a freaking day. The Obama campaign has [...]

BUH-BAYH: It’s not Bayh or Kaine, according to MSNBC. This Jack Reed thing is looking more and more likely. [MSNBC]

Oh man, thank you so much Wonkette operative “Dennis” for taking this screen shot of some blog called “Stay Red Kansas” that said it would SHUT THE MOTHERFUCKER DOWN if they were wrong about Evan Bayh being Obama’s choice. Ballsy! But if you go to this blog now, you’ll find that clause of confidence mysteriously [...]

Today has been so fun! In the last however many hours, Tim Kaine, Chet Edwards and Bill Nelson have all been named Barack Obama’s vice president! And now Evan Bayh will DEFINITELY UNDOUBTEDLY get his turn as vice president, because of a PRESCIENT BUMPER STICKER: “KMBC’s Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in [...]

Someone supposedly got a “screen shot” of some CNN article that was “taken down” before anyone could read it. The article relates in terrible, misspelled prose the curious tale of how an aide accidentally pressed the send button rather than the save button on an email announcing Barack Obama’s vice presidential pick. And then that [...]

OH DON’T MIND US, LADIES: Hey Matt Jaffe and Rick Klein of ABC “News,” did we st-st-stutter when we wrote this story like a million years ago with “Must Credit Wonkette And Its Tipster, ‘John’” in the headline? No, and now “John” is sobbing, probably. JAKE TAPPER would’ve credited us because HE’S THE MAN and [...]
