LETTER FROM TEHRAN

What I Learned From My Beef With These Iran Creeps

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Sex-positive Real Doll in a hijab, for Republicans!Wonkette recently deployed its own correspondent to Iran. What follows is her report. Names have been changed “because of the definition of anonymity.”  

Hi ya’ll! I’m so honored to be here with all the world-renowned Iranians. As a daughter, and as a Republican woman who is both a fiscal and social Democrat, I feel I am well prepared for my new anonymous position as Wonkette’s Anonymous Tehran Youth Correspondent Executive Bureau Chief. In case you haven’t been following the news through Twitter or Daily Candy, there was just an election here, in Iran, for President. Now, because of the definition of anonymity, I can’t say too too much about how, but I know things about presidential elections. Lots of things. Things that would make you say to me, “Listen, Mawiyah, you should be the first girl to cover a presidential election with a blog.” And you would be absolutely right to say that. I should be. And I was. But I don’t want to say too much.  MORE »

The Rest of Everything You Need (?) To Know About Obama’s Trip To Prague

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Pivo up, O'Bama.We were listening to our pal Doug Arellanes deejaying in the early hours of Saturday, from Radio 1 in Prague, and then somehow we figured he should file a dispatch regarding What’s His Name, the Muslim president, and his visit to the Czech Republic to talk to some out-of-work politicians about ending nuclear bombs or something. Ha, and then another pal in town offered to send in some reports, and what the hell, they both did. How do you say “Truck Nutz” in Czech, anyway? YOU WILL SOON FIND OUT. MORE »

Obama In Prague: A Pointlessly Detailed Account

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Blesk!Barack Obama went to this little country, the Czech Republic! Wonkette’s correspondent Rob McLean is there, and spent many hours in an actual castle in Prague, where the Wizard lives, waiting for the famous guest from the United States to appear. “Some very disrespectful Czech girls behind me are complaining about the American flag wavers in front,” he writes, from his bizarre Slavic communications device, the “i-fone.” MORE »

Florida Report: Deface Cars For Ron Paul!

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

BOCA RATON — This whole GOP debate is the most exciting thing to happen here since Joe Pesci punched that kid outside the Jamba Juice. Ron Paul’s minions were handing out these little fliers all over the FAU campus Tuesday. This one was handed to me by a 40ish woman and her young son. Thursday’s the big Ron Paul rally! Not only do we get to wave signs, but we get to paint car windows, and we might even see the Ron Paul blimp! I’m just a tiny bit scared that my attendance at this rally may be misconstrued as actual support for Ron Paul. — LAUREN SELSKY

Hillary, John & Barry Put Vegas To Sleep

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008


That was sure worth getting up before dawn and making a five-hour drive to Las Vegas! Thanks, Democrats. Our coverage for the night is just about over, but we’ll have much more Campaign Trail Fun all over Las Vegas on Wednesday, which is basically today. There will be events, and perhaps a rally of some kind! All in the cause of giving Americans a “safety valve” so they can “blow off steam” by voting for pretty much identical elitist candidates. Anyway, here’s a recap of Wonkette’s Tuesday in Nevada, plus more pictures, if you want them. MORE »

Live Wonkette Nevada Debate/Caucus Coverage, Tomorrow!

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Still no nominees, right? Okay then, we’ll continue covering these damned caucuses and primaries. Tomorrow is Michigan’s primary, but it doesn’t really count except for a little bit, but only for the Republicans. (Michigan is always getting in trouble for screwing up the primaries.) And that’s why we’ll be in Nevada tomorrow.

It’s time for the exciting Democrat Debate in Las Vegas — although it’s hard to imagine a debate without charismatic firebrand Bill Richardson. And then the ongoing spectacle of casino-buffet employees learning how to do an Iowa-style caucus, but in casino banquet halls. Live Nevada Coverage from beautiful Las Vegas begins tomorrow afternoon. We’re even going to the debate and the spin room and all, even though we should know better by now.
