Wonkette

Our Florida operative Lauren Selsky found White House correspondent Helen Thomas hanging out at Florida Atlantic University, which is Selsky’s own school! What are the chances?

Wonkette operative Lauren Selsky just picked up her GOP debate gift bag in Boca Raton. What do you get for going to a Republican debate these days? Let’s find out! MORE »

BOCA RATON — This whole GOP debate is the most exciting thing to happen here since Joe Pesci punched that kid outside the Jamba Juice. Ron Paul’s minions were handing out these little fliers all over the FAU campus Tuesday. This one was handed to me by a 40ish woman and her young son. Thursday’s the big Ron Paul rally! Not only do we get to wave signs, but we get to paint car windows, and we might even see the Ron Paul blimp! I’m just a tiny bit scared that my attendance at this rally may be misconstrued as actual support for Ron Paul. — LAUREN SELSKY
