Liveblogging Obama’s ‘Milk Cows Come Home To Roost’ Speech In Iowa
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
Barack Obama has gotten his tushy thoroughly handed to him in Kentucky, and there are no results from Oregon yet, so there’s only one thing he can do: declare overall victory in Iowa! He has won a majority of pledged delegates, you see, although Hillary has declared a lead in the popular vote — which she determined by not counting caucus votes and counting Florida and Michigan instead. But whatever! Men suck! Barry can’t *really* declare total victory, because that would be Sexist! What kind of vague victory will he declare? Let’s find out! MORE »

The Wonkette household settled down last night to watch Joe Dante’s zombie political satire, “The Homecoming” and we can now report that it is even better than the concept of a zombie political satire about disenfranchised undead soldiers has any right to be. Reviewers had already pointed to the Ann Coulterish “Jane Cleaver” character, what we delighted in was the horse-legged-for-horse-legged duplication of Coulter’s TIME cover as Cleaver’s book jacket photos. Also good: The warning the protagonist receives about her, “Be careful son. She’s what we used to call a…skank.” The Karl Rove character’s dubious sexuality is a nice touch as is his spin on the realization that the only soldiers returning as zombies are ones who oppose the war: “Look at all the veterans who support our cause by staying in their graves!” Funny because it’s true.
