COMING OUT PARTIES

DNC To Officially Gay-Coronate Arlen Specter Tonight

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Arlen Specter, what’s up with that guy, right. He’s a Democrat now! And being a Democrat means you have to do terrible abortion things in Hollywood, all the time, with Muslims: “Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) will make his debut appearance this evening at a national Dem event since switching parties. Specter will join Pres. Obama at the Beverly Hilton in LA for a DNC fundraiser… It marks his first outing with Obama — and with Jennifer Hudson, we should note. The Academy Award winner will sing at the event. As will Earth, Wind and Fire.” And it only costs $1,000 to $2,500 to attend! Or if you’re super rich like Tom Cruise and the famous Movie Stars, there’s “another dinner” for, uh, $30,400 (but it’s a DEAL because that’s the PER COUPLE price.) [Hotline]

THAT'S NOT FISCAL TRANSCENDANCE

President Bush Makes Controversial Remarks On Video!

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

'Wall Street got hammered and woke up with its pants around its ankles.'No, alas, this isn’t the much-anticipated “Whitey” tape where George Bush sits in an Afghan cave with Louis Farrakhan spewing racist garbage. (That’ll be out next week.) A newly surfaced video shows our president making some jokes at a recent fundraiser for Pete Olson. Who’s that, you ask? Olson is the Texas Republican who beat Shelley “Dracula Cunt” Sekula Gibbs in a hard-fought primary, thereby strangling in its crib one of the most glorious political ascensions since … well, the last incompetent fraud from Texas.

McCain Fundraiser Tour Fails Its Way Through Mormon World Capital

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

70k to hang out with these knuckleheadsEver since John McCain pissed all over Mitt Romney in a debate, and even before then, Mormons haven’t taken kindly to the foul-mouthed, unhandsome, twice-married atheist grumpus.

Hilarious details about McCain’s Epic Utah Fail, after the jump. MORE »

John McCain Enjoys Deep Discounts, Free Slaves At Alabama Event

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Thank you!The mayor of Homewood gave John McCain everything but the “happy ending” when the enfeebled Presidential contender visited this Birmingham suburb on Monday. Even though local elitist Democrats recently had to pay $1700 to rent the city-owned Rosewood Hall, John McCain got it for just $250. OK so he only rented two rooms for a night, whereas the decadent Dems had three rooms for two nights BUT STILL. John McCain also netted the biggest prize of all: the services of free slaves, courtesy of the Homewood Jail! MORE »
