KILL US

Liveblogging Sarah Palin On Oprah

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Anyone else feel sick to your stomach? We’re going to get this over with, and then blow up the blog. [UPDATE: It's over! The liveblog is completely incoherent, as usual. Pareene also liveblogged it at Gawker. We both quoted Andrew Sullivan at 4:39!] MORE »


OBAMA MUST RESIGN BY MIDNIGHT

Liveblogging The New Jersey Tussle Between Those Two Jerks

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Here is a photograph of New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine’s greatest accomplishment in the last four years, when he crashed his car. Between his two runs, Jon Corzine has spent approximately $700 million of his own money trying to win one of the least desirable jobs in politics: the guy who has to raise taxes on a populace of constipated slobs who can’t even pump their own gas, by law. Will he luck out and lose tonight to the very fat Chris Christie? The television will tell us. MORE »


OBAMA'S LAST NIGHT AS PRESIDENT OF ANYTHING

Liveblogging The GOP’s Insane Blowout In Virginia

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

That’s Jefferson Davis, in the picture! Nearly 150 years ago, Jefferson Davis moved to Richmond, Virginia to become the first president of a new country where slaves could still pick the cotton, and indigo. Davis’ run came to an end eight years ago, when Democrat Mark Warner stole Davis’ Richmond mansion and all of its slaves. Democrat Tim Kaine did the same to Mark Warner four years later. But now it is Republican Bob McDonnell’s turn to take the mansion and slaves back from the liberals, the end. Polls close in a few minutes! Wolf Blitzer says he is “so excited,” oh ho ho… MORE »


A HISTORIC NIGHT FOR THE NATIONAL GOP

We Will Liveblog The Dickens Out Of These ‘2009 Elections’

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

It has been some time since we used to liveblog election results every single Tuesday for months at a time, so let’s do it tonight, on “Election Day 2009,” which has brought about as much excitement and suspense as the May 3, 2008 Democratic primary in Guam. The powers-that-be, like dicks, have constructed a system in which Virginia polls close at 7:00, New Jersey polls close at 8:00, and New York polls close at 9:00. We will start here at 6:45ish and just cold motherfuckin’ type all night long. CNN has definitely issued a release promising NINE MILLION ANALYSTS for its panel tonight, and you cannot miss any of them! Now go stock up on alcohol & guns and return for ridiculous insanity-typing that, we promise, will only be tangentially related to politics.


SCARY STORIES

Liveblogging The Republicans Trying To Stop Obama From Turning On The Robots That Will Pry Medicare From Seniors’ Cold Dead Hands (Part IV)

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Do you know how many Americans have perished since Obama has pulled the plug on democracy? The answer is “countless.” Alternately: millions. Billions, even, if you count the poor ones that Obama is always so gay about counting. The GOP will now shuffle someone out, “Charles Boustany”, who will read the names of socialism’s victims to the tune of Rod Blagojevich singing Elvis B-sides. It will be America’s finest hour.

GET YOUR DINGLEBERRY OFF MY MEDICARE

Liveblogging Obama’s ‘Pubic Option,’ Part III

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

If there’s a single winner tonight, it’s the photo to your left. The fact that one can type “old-timey doctor” into something called “Google Images” and produce THIS… what a great country. No. What a great Internet. None of this is true. But we digress! Health care speech: Obama started a full 900 million seconds late, so let’s listen to the second and third paragraphs of his speech hmm? (Part I, Part II) MORE »


STEALING MEDICINE FROM SENIORS

Liveblogging Barack Obama Trying To Win Health Care On One Of Those Celebrity Shows Part II

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Welcome to the President’s big health care speech! Everyone is so excited to write about this, because of all the “health care pun” possibilities. “Remedy” can fix things outside the context of medicine too! Ha ha! Let’s begin, now that we have pre-gamed. Please drop your pants and cough twice. MORE »


GET YOUR PANTS OFF MY MEDICARE

Liveblogging Obama’s Big Mortality Speech To Chamber Of Monsters, Part I

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

At this actual moment a bunch of congressmen and senators are getting high in their offices before sitting down to listen to this nut, Obama, try to explain yet again why he wants to kill, literally murder with jackknives and poisons and AIDS, the Greatest Generation & babies. Is that any kind of “good” public policy? Doesn’t he know that they do this in Europe, which is stagnant? He loves Europe. Anyway let’s see what the dingbats are saying on cable news, in this very important pre-speech liveblog. MORE »


PROGRAMMING

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

IN WHICH WE LIVEBLOG YOUR DEATH, TONIGHT: Hello friends. The President, Barack Obama, would like to speak to his nation of douchebags this p.m. You will report back here at 7:30 ET for “pre-game” liveblogging, followed by speech liveblogging, followed by liveblogging of whichever loser is giving the GOP response. For now, however, your Wonkette is dreadfully tired and must go take a nap in the trashcan, with the rats. If you go to the Huff Po you should be able to find about 10 billion “WHAT OBAMA MUST DO IN HEALTH SPEACH” articles (all by Alec Baldwin) from which you might arm yourself with Knowledge.


MEH

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
  • IMPORTANT DECISIONS: Your editors will NOT be liveblogging this education speech at noon, because it will simply be the president telling kids that education is important, and while that is wrong, there is no sort of controversy or news or anything of any interest to be found here. We would rather liveblog the cloud formations changing. The wingnuts have a problem with THAT, too. [White House]

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH PANELS

Liveblogging President Obama’s Dramatic Confrontation With Ancient Libertarian Medicare Beneficiaries, In New Hampshire

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Father of our dumb country.Yay is everybody ready for the most rip-roaring good time ever at a town hall since a mob of outraged yokels stole George Washington’s wooden teeth and chased him off the premises clad only in his skivvies and the 18th-century version of a women’s brassiere (two monkey skulls held together with catgut and lignum vitae)? That’s what happens when you mess with New Hampshire, the forgotten Appalachia of the American Northeast. MORE »
