CRAZY PEOPLE

Monday, October 26th, 2009

WHOA HEY COLLEGETHE WEEKEND’S MOST SHOCKING NEWS: From this George Will column in which he praises Michele Bachmann “George Will style” (huffs gently in approval): “When [Bachmann] was a teenager in Anoka, Minn., she was a nanny for a young girl named Gretchen Carlson. Today, Carlson, a Stanford honors graduate who studied at Oxford, is a host of ‘Fox & Friends,’ the morning show on — wouldn’t you know — Fox News Channel.” We knew the whole “Gretchen Carlson” character was just some over-educated alien’s performance art. Where did the Michele Bachmann touch you, Gretchen? [Washington Post]

Government Now Has George Will’s Permission To End This War, Too

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

George Will is such a hot potato right now! BUT A SPINELESS POTATO? He received so much publicity for his other column a few days ago — when he “stunned” Washington by “going Galt” and calling for an end to the millenia-old Afghanistan war, making him the first very serious important pundit to do so, ever — that now he’s like, “Iraq is also no good.” Hmm where’d he get that idea? Probably the Huffington Post or Al Gore one of the other Internet places. MORE »


AND NOW WE WAIT

Important Baseball Scholar Will Type Later This Week About Why We Should Leave Afghanistan

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Works 100% of the timePolitico fiend Mike Allen is going insane about an upcoming piece from the Washington Post’s very very serious conservative columnist George Will, in which he will offer the “startling recommendation” that maybe our government should end that other Middle East war it started ten million years ago. Choose your own reaction! (1) Who cares what mean old George Will says about anything? (2) Hooray for George Will! You take that stand, George! (3) Ha ha, “pull-out.” [Politico]


WONK'D

Staycation: Famous For DC People Remain In DC, Even In July!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

He's everywhere!So we did a midsummer slow news day’s Wonk’d yesterday and what do you know, another billion Wonk’d sightings arrived in out Tips Box this morning. It’s like you people can be easily manipulated by suggestion. “Here are some Wonkette readers sending us Wonk’d items … this means you must do the same, reader.” And it works! (Next time we’ll subliminally make you do something vulgar in the Reflecting Pool.) Anyway, enjoy these eyewitness reports of Maria Shriver, Ralph Nader, Rahm Emanuel and Others doing whatever it is they do, in Washington! MORE »


OH BOY

Hey It’s Barack Obama Sitting On Some Stairs

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

George Will is dying right now. The president is sitting on a pile of trash, basically. And is the fellow on the left wearing dungarees and flip flops? Can we get a column on flip flops, George Will? Close those legs, Obama. [Pete Souza/White House]


AMERICA'S SERIOUS CONSERVATIVES

‘George Will’ The ‘Writer’ Is ‘Hackish,’ He ‘Basically’ Has ‘Brain AIDS’

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Think respected conservative intellectual George “Dungaree” Will’s biweekly phlegm-hocks for the Washington Post are bad, but maybe not quite Richard-Cohen-bad? Well they are, and so are his Newsweek columns! Maybe. His most recent one tackles Transportation Reform. Will chastises Republican Ray LaHood, the Transportation secretary, for “wanting” to “fix” America’s “infrastructure” problems, which is his “job.” Will truly despises anyone who walks or bikes or takes a train anywhere, and he wants them to die, DIE DIE DIE, in a ditch, in Portland.

WHERE ARE MY BATTY PILLS

Peggy Noonan Wishes To Disremember Those Uncouth Torture Episodes

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Oh fignewtons, someone telephone the slaves at Grey Gardens, it seems a tenant has meandered through the gate during her noontime perambulations and landed on the television set! Here is Ms. Peggy Noonington on the George Stephanopoulos program alongside George Will. George Will! He must have forwarded Peggy e-mails about this torture memo business, and again, THAT IS NOT NICE, you know how she gets. She wants to forget she ever read the wretched things! O, the night terrors! “Some of life has to be mysterious,” she opines, poetically, about this issue of state-ordered torture. But mere crickets in the hedgerows, these lawyers… crickets in the… [Huffington Post]


JOURNAMALISM

George Will Just Rehashed WSJ Anti-Denim Op-Ed

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Even fatter in First Life.Regarding George Will’s anti-blue jeans column of today, the Wall Street Journal had a much funnier “denim sucks” column, by your editor’s actual relative-by-marriage Daniel Akst, three weeks ago. DO NOT CLAIM YOU DON’T READ THE WSJ, GEORGE. Dan’s column is also far less elitist than Bow-tie George’s thing, because instead of Will’s example of regular American activity — playing golf, natch — Akst’s “you don’t need dungarees for that” example is “people who spend most of their waking hours punching keys instead of cows.” And then he goes in for the kill with “It looks bad on almost everyone who isn’t thin, yet has somehow made itself the unofficial uniform of the fattest people in the world.” [Wall Street Journal]


CURMUDGEONLY WAPO COLUMNISTS

George Will Does Not Care For These ‘Denim Blue Jeans’

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Lewd.Ha ha George Will: “Today it is silly for Americans whose closest approximation of physical labor consists of loading their bags of clubs into golf carts to go around in public dressed for driving steers up the Chisholm Trail to the railhead in Abilene.” It’s funny because it’s sort of true! We are a nation of wretched cowboy slobs. MORE »


MALE NUNS

George Will Does Not Care For This Smorgasbord Of Hedonist Sex Everybody’s Enjoying

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

George Will enjoys the obscure sexual practice known as 'bunting'Tuesday night, we saw George Will recoiling at the sight of two men hugging and Wonkette’s own Ken Layne asked, “Oh, George Will, what will offend your delicate sensibilities next?” And now we have our answer. The answer is two people kissing, if they are not married. MORE »


EVER NOTICE HOW BASEBALL IS SO GAY?

George Will Doesn’t Like These Men Hugging

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009


Oh, George Will, what will offend your delicate sensibilities next? Last night, our nation’s remaining bow-tied commentator complained about Obama and wingnut Senator Tom Coburn sharing a loving embrace. When did all this “straight” male hugging start, George? Oh, we don’t know, maybe the 1948 World Series or the 1955 World Series or something? Check one of those baseball books you fart out every couple of months. [ABC News/Media Matters]
