Monday, September 24th, 2007

The angriest pool boy - WonketteWhen presented with an article in the San Francisco Gate about the pool boy for the Bush family’s Kennebunkport Estate, in which said pool boy comes off as ridiculously articulate, funny, and generally more liberal than Frank Rich, well, we ought to be kind of suspicious.

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

good times ... - WonketteWhat’s more American than the Reagan-Bush administration arming the Islamofascist Islamists of Iran to pay the Ayatollahs back for releasing the American hostages as a political stunt to let Reagan and Bush 41 win the White House so they could pay international arms/drugs dealers to supply right-wing Central American death squads with money and weapons?

GEORGE W. BUSH

Bush Sr. Living Out His Last Days in Shame

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Just a coupla knuckleheads - WonketteGeorge Herbert Walker Bush is a very old and sad and lonely man, according to the New York Times. He spends a great deal of time these days calling the White House and pretending they listen to his pragmatic policy advice and crying in public about how much he loves his fuck-up children. But people come up to him on the street and tell him that the worst person in the world sprang from his loins, and then he cries some more. God forbid you bring up Neil! He’d have a heart attack!

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

The Godfather - WonketteWonkette has a West Coast Bureau so we can read blogs about things that happened in LA last night just two miles from the West Coast Bureau.
