Here’s your “Friday Fun Video” that has nothing to do with politics, thank GOD. This week, Wonkette videographer Liz Glover is wearing her other hat as BlackBook reporter in New York City for Fashion Week, an event to honor 9/11 with fancy clothes. Liz interviews insane “art film” director and actor Vincent Gallo and asks him, comically, if his leather jacket is “pleather.” Gallo loses his shit and threatens to track down Liz and fuck her up. Ha ha! Liz responds that her father was in ‘Nam, which he was. [BlackBook]

Here are a couple of charming street urchins talking to Video Liz Glover during New York Fashion Week. They keep saying “The Democratic Party Convention,” referring to the event in Denver, rather than “The Democratic NATIONAL Convention,” which means that either they are morans or they are people with a very healthy lack of interest in politics. Also Liz needs some cough drops. [YouTube]

Hello and Happy Christmas of probably 1988, [December 1989, try reading the caption -- Ed.] Barry and Michelle! You both look great! Well, not really, but you look better than so many other 1980s disasters such as albino hair-metal twins Nelson, mullet-lunk Billy Ray Cyrus or whatever was going on with Tracy Chapman.

BARACK OBAMA: HE’S JUST LIKE US [US Weekly]

But what do noise/punk/grunge pioneers Sonic Youth think of the 2008 Democratic race? Kim Gordon is “inspired” by Barack Obama, that’s what! She will support him, she tells Wonkette’s Liz Glover … even though Gordon admits Obama and Hillary are basically the same, as far as politics. This is what passes for “Fashion Week” these days. And here’s another funny thing: If Barry Obama becomes president, we’ll have a president eight years younger than Sonic Youth’s bassist. Think about it.

Roving Wonkette videographer Liz Glover called us yesterday to say that she was in New York for some reason, crashing Fashion Week parties. And she had clips of Brandon Davis (oil heir, Paris Hilton confidante, douche) and Jenna Jameson talking about, well, Iraq. We said, ok, sure, why not? Davis is no Joe Biden, and that may be the very first time we’ve meant that sentiment in a negative way. Jameson, talking about voting, is after the jump. MORE »
