Last night Laura Bush appeared on Larry King Live. We were out drinking and playing poker at the time, but we taped the segment — we’re that diligent. Now we’re tuned in to what we missed.

Larry’s sporting a purple shirt, dark blue suspenders, and a dreadfully busy tie. Laura is wearing a wool knit suit in a pleasant shade of pale pink. (Or is that white? Do we need a new TV?) She has a nice glossy-and-glassy look to her, emphasized by lip gloss that’s so bright it reflects light.

The talk begins with heart disease, which Laura has taken up as a cause. Larry asks Laura if she has been personally affected by heart disease; she says no. What about friends? Laura mentions a friend from Midland, Texas. Hey, what about Cheney?

Continued observations appear after the jump.

God do we love this woman. Let’s just skip the whole “election” thing and make her president right now. Here is Hillary’s latest pronouncement: MORE »

At long last, after much fanfare and hype, here it is: Wonkette’s exclusive interview with Tom Malin, the gay escort turned Texas state legislature candidate!

We apologize for the delay in bringing this to you. We meant to publish it yesterday, when it took place. But as you can see, we were otherwise occupied into the afternoon and evening on Thursday — covering the breaking news of Jessica Simpson’s visit to the Capitol, among other things. (Rumor has it that she was at the Point last night; can anyone confirm?)

Here are a few highlights from the interview — Tom Malin’s views on selected subjects:

* Rep. Katherine Harris: “Oh my GOSH. Did you see her TITS? She is a total BABE!”
* Republicans: “Republicans would have gays and lesbians in concentration camps if they could. I think they would close down public education. I think women and minorities would be so marginalized.”
* Condoleeza Rice: “She is balanced and fair. I believe she is compassionate. I wouldn’t want to meet her in a dark alley though. She is tough!”
* Jeff Gannon: “Everyone has seen my naked ass. Would love to see his.”

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg; there’s much, much more, after the jump. Not to be missed: professional make-up tips from Malin, a former Mary Kay Cosmetics salesman, to Hillary!

* Rush Limbaugh on Hillary Clinton: “She sounds like a screeching ex-wife.” Heh, he should know. [Media Matters] MORE »

Earlier today, we floated a theory to explain the recent friction between Hillary Clinton and gay rights groups. But maybe the truth is much more simple than our elaborate speculation. MORE »

Now it’s time for discussion of two subjects that nobody ever gets tired of: Hillary Clinton and gay marriage. Combine the two, and the fun will never end! MORE »

A reader just drew our attention to DontDateHimGirl.com (DDHG), a website profiled in this article from the NYT Thursday Styles section. MORE »

Here at Wonkette, we’re a bunch of HRC groupies, with a weakness for all things Hillary. So please send us your tips; no tidbit is too small.

You may not think that spotting Hillary in a black pantsuit in the Russell Building is a big deal — but we sure do! It’s Hillary’s world, and we’re just living in it.

This morning, we were delighted to receive this reader email:

Did you check out the NYT article about Senator Clinton changing the location of her February 21 fundraising event? It would seem that Pacha has a reputation for rowdiness, so she’s relocating to — CROBAR!

Who’s her event organizer? John Cameron Mitchell? Amanda Lepore?

Update: For the record, Crobar has hosted numerous political events in the past, including prior HRC events — and even parties for Republicans!

And here’s the Times article’s provocative lede:

Bikini-clad dancers discoing inside glass-walled showers. Beautiful people carousing on the dance floors and canoodling in the V.V.I.P. room. Murmurs about drugs and sex in other rooms. Sounds like the perfect place for a Hillary Rodham Clinton fund-raiser, huh?

Speaking only for ourselves, we’ll pass on the chance to see Ann Lewis getting her groove on in a thong. But if she’s joined on the dance floor by Senator Clinton — who, haven’t you heard, might be a lesbian!!! — then we are so there.

More Hillary news after the jump.
