Wonkette’s Week in Review: Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall
Saturday, June 17th, 2006* The sandstone walls at 1600 Pennsylvania are bursting with beauty. We decided to play the wicked stepmother and ask, “Who’s the fairest of them all?” There are fine choices, whether you prefer men or women.

Polls close Monday morning at 10, and for God’s sake no cheating please. MORE »
It’s the days when this job’s the easiest that it’s also the saddest. Seriously, a site named “eat crow dot org” and dedicated to clinging desperately to an unlucky guess in the face of all observable evidence could be beaten only by some hypothetical site of rabidly conservative amateurish web video called “Hot Air,” or something. But that would never exist. Right?

We understand that the judge in Republican congressman Tom Delay’s criminal trial has been removed due to the “appearance of impropriety,” since the judge has made donations to Democratic campaigns in the past. Delay’s supporters asked that the judge step aside “to protect the integrity” of the judicial system. We see a slippery slope here: What if, say, a Supreme Court judicial nominee had been the personal lawyer of someone who has business before the Court? She might have to withdraw her nomination or something. Should there not be any other reasons to withdraw it. Geez, next thing you know, judges and litigants won’t even be able to go duck hunting together anymore.
