Wonkette

Meet Chris Peden, a Republican accountant and small-town Texas councilman. If all goes well, on March 4 this charming young conservative is going to kick Ron Paul out of Congress. Wonkette went to the Katy Area Republicans meeting Tuesday night to speak to Chris Peden in the flesh and bring you this EXCLUSIVE and GROUNDBREAKING interview with Texas Congressional District 14’s last best hope for vanquishing the Paultards now and forever.

Recently we scored an interview with porn-star-turned-political-candidate Melody Damayo. You may recall that Damayo, better known as “Mimi Miyagi,” is running for governor of Nevada — as a Republican, no less. MORE »

Last month, Wonkette enthusiastically endorsed Melody Damayo for governor of Nevada. Damayo, you may recall, is a former adult film actress, known to her fans as “Mimi Miyagi.” She’s now running — as a Republican — for the governorship of Nevada.

We are proud to report that we’ve scored an exclusive interview with Ms. Damayo. Here’s an excerpt:

Wonkette: Your path to political office is less than traditional — not many politicians have worked in the adult film industry. If elected, how would your experience in the adult film industry help you in your work as governor?

Damayo: It has given me much experience in dealing with the public, with a mature handling of patience. That is what many people in office I see especially [pay] heed to when dealing with vast numbers of people. PATIENCE.

We agree. Do you any idea of how much time can pass between takes?

Our full interview with Melody Damayo appears after the jump. We think you’ll be impressed by her thoughtful and articulate responses, just as we were.

Also, tonight Mimi will be appearing on The Situation with Tucker Carlson. It will air on MSNBC at 11 PM and again at 2 AM. Don’t miss it!

We’ll admit it, in case you haven’t noticed: we’re kind of obsessed with Katherine Harris. We’re following her determined quest for a U.S. Senate seat very closely, even obsessively.

So you can imagine how thrilled we were to receive, from two Florida operatives, a trove of exclusive, never-before-seen photographs of this Big-Breasted Horsewoman of the Apocalypse. Here’s a brief taste of what we were given:

“After stealing an election, I wipe my fingers on a little paper cocktail napkin. Hahaha!”

After the jump, a frightening array of Katherine Harris photos. But before you click on that little “More” finger, don’t say we didn’t warn you. Surgeon General’s advisory: Viewing photos of Katherine Harris has been linked to allergic rashes, syphilis, and blindness.

Enjoy…

At long last, after much fanfare and hype, here it is: Wonkette’s exclusive interview with Tom Malin, the gay escort turned Texas state legislature candidate!

We apologize for the delay in bringing this to you. We meant to publish it yesterday, when it took place. But as you can see, we were otherwise occupied into the afternoon and evening on Thursday — covering the breaking news of Jessica Simpson’s visit to the Capitol, among other things. (Rumor has it that she was at the Point last night; can anyone confirm?)

Here are a few highlights from the interview — Tom Malin’s views on selected subjects:

* Rep. Katherine Harris: “Oh my GOSH. Did you see her TITS? She is a total BABE!”
* Republicans: “Republicans would have gays and lesbians in concentration camps if they could. I think they would close down public education. I think women and minorities would be so marginalized.”
* Condoleeza Rice: “She is balanced and fair. I believe she is compassionate. I wouldn’t want to meet her in a dark alley though. She is tough!”
* Jeff Gannon: “Everyone has seen my naked ass. Would love to see his.”

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg; there’s much, much more, after the jump. Not to be missed: professional make-up tips from Malin, a former Mary Kay Cosmetics salesman, to Hillary!

From high above the Southern Hemisphere, an operative on Air Force One espied the Time scribe’s fledgling literary effort:

Time’s Matt Cooper is working on a book proposal. In a race with the New York Times’ Judith Miller, the White House press corps’ version of William Conrad (only slightly less sweaty) knows that the market just won’t bear two self-righteous reporters sniveling about their woes (and Miller’s got 85 days in the clink to pad out her book).
