For weeks now, several hundred people who follow New York state politics have been very excited about a possible BOMBSHELL related to David Paterson, the wacky blind governor who used to do so much blow and bang all these gals at an uptown motel. Paterson only ended up as governor by mistake — Eliot Spitzer’s [...]

Liberal warblog celebrity Ned Lamont was last in the news back in 2008, when he sat down for a lengthy interview (“Hey are you Ned Lamont?”) with Wonkette’s Jim Newell aboard a shuttle bus in Denver, can’t remember the occasion. And before that, Lamont was a pin-up for the Daily Kos webzine, and then poor [...]

People get ready, there is a Revolution a-comin’, on January 23, brothers and sisters of the Socialist Brotherhood (and Sisterhood, we guess?), get up, smash up your seats, shit is gonna get real Red, oh yeah, oh people get ready, the USAjobs.gov classified-ads system is probably going to have some minor improvements, maybe like that [...]

Oh joy, it’s the Night of Our New Afghanistan Policy. Watch it if you want, live on the Wonkette, and comment if you feel like it. Hooray?

The new way to “get rich and famous” in America involves doing something tacky and sort of illegal, and getting the Main Stream Media to do a few thousand stories about it, and then …. profit?

In the days before YouTube, our computers were pretty safe from stuff like this. But, as slaves to audio-visual technology, we must now be exposed to moments best captured by a single photograph — as in turkey pardons of past presidencies — and then quickly forgotten.

SOUNDS LIKE A WONKETTE STAFF MEETING: “The fierce Latina who grew up in a trailer park, the annoying little brother who will hook up with anyone, the inner-city orphan with enough machismo to own this city, the country girl who lived in a barn, the high school sweetheart who discovered he was bisexual, the rebel [...]

From his teevee-anchor dyed & blow-dried hair to his repulsive stucco fortress on a million acres of North Carolina scraped dirt, everything about the ambulance-chasing personal injury attorney has always cried FRAUD, but the most disgusting part about Edwards was his phony public displays of fucky love for his poor (yet fantastically rich) old wife, [...]

Lindsey Graham’s least favorite Mexican monster, Sonia Sotomayor, learned English when she was 45 years old, from large-print comic books about Satan. And now, thanks to illegitimate president Barack Obama’s affirmative-action hiring policies, Judge Sotomayor is the star of today’s super-boring Senate confirmation hearing! Thanks to Ustream, we’ve got a live teevee video feed right [...]

If all the newspapers in America disappeared tomorrow — instead of next year, as scheduled, because of Gmail — you would never know about this story. Think about it. [LA Times/Christian Science Monitor]

This is what it was like in Soviet USSR Russia, we bet! The guy, on the teevee, every night. Five year plans, advancing upon the enemy stronghold, great progress made in the Martian Dirt Wars, etc. We don’t know FOR SURE about this, as we arrived in the USSR about two weeks after it officially [...]

This will learn ‘em good: The House of Representatives just passed this “tax those fancy stockjobbers at the 90% rate” legislation, which means the federal money used to pay off these bailout bitches will now be taxed at 90% — if the bonus-getter’s income is over $250,000, so Joe the Plumber is still safe from [...]

EVERYBODY’S RICH AGAIN! Following Jon Stewart’s ritual slaughter of shouty pig Jim Cramer last night, the American Stock Markets finished the week with a 10% gain, hooray, win, &c. And now the market is, uh, all the way back to, uh, right about where we were in late February. Rally! [Marketwatch]
