Guest Blogger Seeks Hairdo Tips
Wednesday, July 5th, 2006
Good morning! Some of you know me as Peteykins while others know me as Princess Sparkle Pony, but through Friday you can call me Wonkette, as the overlords at Gawker Media have plucked me, dew-fresh and daisylike, to fill in for the rest of the week. You’ll have to forgive me because in real life I’m a museum staffer here in DC, so I’m not exactly accustomed to wearing pajamas during the daylight hours, and also, wouldn’t you know it, on the days when I get to be Wonkette, my favorite person to write about, Condoleezza Rice, is nowhere to be found, so I’m in search of other noteworthy hairdo scofflaws to laud. So, seriously, Hill staffers, if ever there was a time to air your coiffure-related gripes, by all means send your tips to tips@wonkette.com.

‘08 Straw Poll Results: Rudy Has the Geekiest Hair
Thursday, June 15th, 2006
Congrats to Rudy Giuliani on cleaning up in yesterday’s poll. As we can clearly see above, Rudy’s 1981 hair is easily geekier than Goerge Allen’s contemporaneous ‘do. We suspect the sky-blue three piece suit certainly helped with the overall geekiness, but there’s no denying that that’s a combover that could’ve taken home the prize on its own.

Evidence of Another White House Makeover
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006
Is a comprehensive makeover a job requirement for women working at the White House? We previously showed you “before” and “after” photos of homeland security hottie Frances Townsend. And now we have evidence that Townsend’s chief competition for top White House hottie — deputy national security adviser Meghan O’Sullivan, lovingly profiled in yesterday’s Times — has transformed her look too.
As always, the good stuff — the photographic proof — appears after the jump.

“Don’t Even Begin to Twist My Words, Wolf”: Cynthia McKinney in The Situation Room
Tuesday, April 4th, 2006
Yesterday afternoon, our most favorite congresswoman ever, Rep. Cynthia McKinney, spoke with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room.” This was shortly after Blitzer reported that federal prosecutors are considering whether to bring charges against McKinney stemming out of her recent scuffle with Capitol Police.
Here are some highlights:
BLITZER: Well, here is what some of your critics are saying, and I know you know this. And we’ll put a picture up, a recent photo that is in the Capitol Hill book.
This was a picture of you now. This is what you look like now. Obviously, you have a new hairstyle, as opposed to your old hairstyle. And what they’re saying is, when you changed your hairstyle, they didn’t recognize you, they politely asked you to stop and you resisted several attempts by one of the Capitol Hill Police officers to stop and to identify yourself. And as a result, there was this altercation in which they say you allegedly hit the police officer.
MCKINNEY: Wolf, the only thing I can say about the juxtaposition of those two pictures is that in one of them I happen to have a little more makeup on about the way I am here on CNN today. But the bottom line is that my face hasn’t changed, and I haven’t changed.
I’ve looked like this for the entire 11 years that I have been in Congress. And so, I don’t understand exactly why it is that certain police officers have a problem remembering my face….
Amen! It is somewhat ridiculous that the Capitol Police officers can’t recognize a representative, after seeing her day after day for over a decade — regardless of how she styles her hair. It reminds us of that elderly door monitor at the university library who insisted on scrutinizing our I.D. card at length, every single time we entered, even after seeing us several times a day for the better part of three years.
More insanity after the jump.
