List of Books Sarah Palin Banned Is Just List of Books That Have Been Banned Before

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Alaska Under Palin!According to many billions of emails received today at Wonkette Headquarters, intrepid Internet sleuths from “a former New York Times reporter” to “my librarian mum” have discovered the True List of books that wingnut creationist anger-bear Sarah Palin tried to ban when she was mayor of a strip mall in rural Alaska. Well, we have sleuths of our own, and they are called Legion but also all called “Google,” and you libtards have been had, again. MORE »

MOST IMPORTANT POLITICAL STORY OF OUR LIVES: “The website Wonkette might have something to do with the proliferation of hoax messages. At 2:07 p.m. Wednesday, managing editor Ken Layne posted a step-by-step manual from a reader under the headline: Freak Out Your Friends With Fake Obama VP TXT. ‘We are proud to help cause confusion and excitement during this terrible boring week of no news at all,’ Layne wrote in an email to Politico.” [Politico]

Lou Dobbs’ Job Being Outsourced To India

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

'This is Lou Dobbs, how can I exceed your expectations today, sir?' - WonketteMeet the new Lou Dobbs: He’s still a smug, loud-mouthed Mexican-hating phony, but he’s also a Bangalore call-center worker. And instead of orange hair, he’s got normal brown hair. And he’s got an Indian accent — just listen to him roll those R’s when he says “America’s Broken Borders” 39 times per broadcast. MORE »

‘I Met Wolf Blitzer At the Big Massacre!’

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

'Great story. Compelling, and rich. ' - WonketteThis Virginia Tech massacre is like the White House Correspondents dinner and 9/11 combined! You never know what bigshot news anchor you’ll meet. This reporter from some education trade mag was pretty much hanging out with Wolf Blitzer this morning:

I got up this morning to ride the exercise bike in my hotel’s tiny fitness center, where the CBS Early Show was on. I was watching the Virginia Tech coverage and pedaling away when Wolf Blitzer, the CNN anchor, walked in. Not surprisingly, he looked like he had just gotten up. He climbed on a treadmill and started walking.

Thanks for the insight. Oh, and “He’s way smaller in person.” MORE »

Icy Sexpot Dana Perino Makes a Funny!

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

I'll be your mirror, reflect what you are ... - WonketteSo you’re elevated to your current position because your predecessor got cancer, and every single official you represent is a thieving scumbag with 2% approval ratings, and the country is so crippled that Honduras could probably launch a successful invasion. What do you do, Dana Perino? You make Alex Trebek jokes, obviously:

MS. PERINO: Les.

Q Yes, thank you, Dana. Two questions on American business. In the -

MS. PERINO: American business for 200. (Laughter.) I’ve always wanted to be on that show. Go ahead, Les, I’m sorry.

But what was the question? Something about how America has been intentionally deindustrialized and wages have stagnated or dropped for all but the top 10% of earners and blue-collar union jobs have been eliminated leaving a vast working class with no hope for anything beyond lifelong credit-card debt and children who finish school unable to read?

Ha ha, of course not. Let’s run down the category JOURNALISTS ARE SELF-OBSESSED TWATS, after the jump.

Pulitzer Finalists: A Bunch of Three-Part Articles Nobody Read

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Three Part Series! - WonketteEvery year about this time, a group of elderly newspaper editors is slowly led to a table and shown stacks and stacks of three-part investigative reports about the recent problems with polar bears, the long boring process of building some civic auditorium, or the proud journey of a little Guatemalan girl born with six heads. The senile newspapermen drool a bit on the “finalists,” and pretty soon Editor & Publisher has posted the leaked list. MORE »

Bush Boldly Tries To Kill Reporters With Tractor

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

And nobody survived, The end. - WonketteThis would be much funnier if he actually killed the White House press corps, but George W. had some “fun” yesterday by briefly acting like someone who worked for a living. Bush got on a tractor — we don’t know why he’s going to tractor factories, do you? — and solemnly putted around for a moment. MORE »
