That would appear to be lady candidate Hillary Clinton! Her website is so in love with John Edwards, in fact, that the website might drop out and endorse Edwards. But how does Barry’s web site commemorate the death of our angry-hobo-under-a-bridge? By talking about Denver, site of this year’s Democratic National Convention. It looks like Hillary is mighty scared that the next-best white candidate would endorse Barry, who she and Bill had worked so tirelessly to name “the black candidate.” But Edwards people, maybe just to sound special, say both campaigns are annoying the crap out of them with their telephone calls.

Last night, the Wonkettes left their respective apartments and headed out into the real world, to attend an exciting event at the National Press Club. The event, “An Army of Davids or the Triumph of Goliath?”, was pitched as “a no-holds-barred debate” between these three giants: Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit himself, and author of the just-published An Army of Davids; Joe Trippi, former campaign manager for Howard Dean, and author of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised; and Barry C. Lynn, senior fellow at the New American Foundation, and author of End of the Line. (They are pictured above, from left to right: Lynn, Trippi, Reynolds, and moderator Nick Gillespie, editor-in-chief of Reason.)

After the jump, our comprehensive coverage — plus more fantastic photos, taken by Wonkette shutterbug Liz Gorman, Intrepid Girl Reporter. Enjoy!
