We’ve got to side with the majority here. Regardless of whether you’re posting to agree or disagree, any Gretawire commenter is pretty much by definition a loser. [Gretawire]

Noth’ing. [Thank you Drudge-refreshing operative "Tim H."]

Mush-mouthed Fox News hostess Greta Van Susteren — remember her? — is apparently still doing teevee broadcasts about that white gal who disappeared from an island beach resort about 10 years ago. There are people still talking about this! Not anybody you’d know, but still! So, not only does Greta V. continue to have a cable-news program, but she has also been provided with a blog on the FoxNews site. (Hey, even your editor has a blog on the FoxNews site, so it is not that big a deal.) You must read the incredible new conspiracy this person has invented, on her blog, while riding on a train — which prevents her from linking to Internet stories, on her blog, for some reason! Fucking trains! MORE »

Poor Mr. Met, decapitated on live teevee. What is wrong with the Fox News and their leader, Greta? For background on why Mr. Met was at the presidential debate: he was planted by Conan O’Brien, THE IRISH SCOURGE. [YouTube]

TPM has put together this pretty hilarious clip of highlights from Greta Van Susteren’s special interview with Todd Palin, which aired some time recently. Greta seems stoned off her ass and laughs at a number of her own jokes about the nickname “First Dude,” a term she brings up at least 700 times in her numerous bizarre mini-rants of unfiltered psychobabble. She stares at the ground a lot, and Todd Palin only knows 4-7 words in the entire English language. [TPM]

The typical Wonk’d sighting is comprised of two parts. First, the initial spotting - that moment of, “holy shit, it’s XXXX XXXX.” The second part is where it gets interesting: moving in for the kill. Getting a little closer to confirm it is who you think it is, or to get a greeting — but it’s impossible to know how the spottee will react. An equal “hi” for “hi” return is rare, a slight nod seems to be the standard, and the pursed-lip-upward-chin-thrust is if you’re lucky. In today’s Wonk’d see how Howard Dean, William Cohen, and Katherine Heigl respond to being caught. Also, Ken Mehlman’s workout habits, Greta Van Susteren’s travel habits, and the meanest dry cleaner in Chicago, after the jump.
