There’s the Hollywood Harvey Milk that we all know and love, but then there’s the real Harvey Milk, the Harvey Milk who was an asshole and a fraud and it’s just mind-boggling that a jerk like Harvey Milk would get his own Harvey Milk State Holiday. [The Corner]
An illegal alien costume, with a UFO mask and an orange jumpsuit and an expired green card! For Halloween! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Fox News. Always chipper. [Think Progress]
Fast-forward to 3:15. Yes, that old man is wearing a baseball cap that says “Possum - the other dark meat.” And yes, he is also “rapping.” [Breitbart]
Interracial marriage? David Vitter does not feel comfortable commenting on such things. However, he would be more than willing to discuss his health and the weather. [TPM]
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 »
OR THEY COULD DO THAT: Helen Thomas and Bob Schieffer, the two oldest people currently wandering around your front yard, will be hosting a Q&A next week — in Second Life. Paultards are expected to slaughter them. Or is that the other game that they play? This is vulgar. [New World Notes]
Here’s our first glimpse of icy sex goddess Dana Perino back at her beloved White House perch, only a couple of days after an Iraqi microphone socked her in the eye amidst what reporters have called a “melee.” Also, the wealthy New York blog Gawker has posted an excellent AP photo of the battered mouthpiece at her most vulnerable, so go look at that too.

Look everyone, 124-year-old c-list wire reporter Helen Thomas is back in the Front Row of the White House Briefing Room after months of health issues! “I realized really how dedicated I was to newspapers,” Thomas says, “which are dying.” Nah grandma that’s just hearsay; You’ve been watching too much CNBC! And then Thomas’ legendary arch nemesis, the ice queen press secretary Dana Perino, welcomes her back, and Thomas calls her a hot-to-trot warlord hussy. She also admits that she voted for Obama, which is not a very professional thing for a wire reporter to disclose [Commenters say she has a column now in the NYT under the pen name "Maureen Dowd"]. [Fishbowl DC]
Here’s a nice drawing by the White House “Dean of Correspondents,” Helen Thomas, that you can buy for three figures on eBay. Or you can, you know, do anything else. But all of the money will be donated to sick people with… neurofibromatosis! So just buy it, now. [eBay]
All George W. Bush wants to do these days is sing and dance. Hey, he’s a pretty okay guy after all! So what if he killed 600,000 people and blew up a third of the world and ruined the Global Economy and probably caused AIDS? He loves to entertain, and the Washington Press Corps loves when anybody famous pays attention to them! MORE »
Our Florida operative Lauren Selsky found White House correspondent Helen Thomas hanging out at Florida Atlantic University, which is Selsky’s own school! What are the chances? Thomas, currently 87 years old, was known as the “Original Wonkette” when she started covering the JFK White House nearly a half-century ago. So how much does Helen hate George W. Bush? MORE »
In this clip from Bush’s year-end press conference this morning, he gives his “advice” for the candidates running for president: BE STUBBORNZ LIKE MEEEE, effectively. Indeed, all this talk about convictions and “ignoring polls and focus groups”… sounds like someone’s not voting for Mitt Romney. Also: OMG, Helen Thomas!
This week, Chuck Norris, Jim Webb, Karl Rove, David Gregory, and Helen Thomas were all spotted being various degrees of famous at various places by our spies and operatives. Voyeuristic fun, as always, is after the jump.
Paul Bremer and Dennis Kucinich are totally deluded, Patrick McHenry and George Will are likely quaaluded, David Wu and Bradley Whitford are enrapt, and Helen Thomas is trapped — going to the same restaurants she’s been going to since her 60’s, or the 60’s, whichever.
