failed strategies

Mark Penn Is Dumber Than Everyone

Hillary's election strategy is legendarily flawed, what with it making her lose and all. Look at the classic fable of New Jersey and Idaho on Super Tuesday: Hillary puts all her time into winning the big state, ignores Idaho, while Obama holds one mega-rally in Boise. She wins New Jersey's delegates 59-48 (+11, for those of you who hate Elite Math) while Obama win's Idaho's delegates 15-3 (+12). Was it just stubbornness, or did she think she would win New Jersey by a larger amount? A new Time article reveals that this poor strategy stemmed from the simplest possible explanation: Chief Strategist Mark "Bowser" Penn had no idea what "apportioned delegates" were. He literally did not know the rules of the Democratic party's nominating process. More »

America's Most Elitist Musician Endorses Obama!

The elitism of Barack Obama has reached new depths. Famous Rock Star Bruce Springsteen, a gay French white wine-sipper, has endorsed Barry on his website, citing Obama's potential "to lead that project and to lead us into the 21st Century with a renewed sense of moral purpose and of ourselves as Americans." Blah blah blah, he likes how Hopey is a Communist and that's all. After the jump, more about Bruce Springsteen's elitist credentials. More »

Bored New Jersey People Seek Recall of Gov. Corzine

New York's ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer and current Governor David Paterson have brought the state two scandal-friendly governors in only the last few weeks. New Jersey, on the other hand, has not had any hilarious sex governors since James McGreevey, a homosexual, resigned at T.G.I. Friday's in 2004. They are jealous of New York's sudden lead and are considering recalling Governor Jon Corzine. Not that he has had any T.G.I. Friday's gay sex prostitution scandals. He just has that aura of need-to-leave, you see. [KYW]

So Many Pictures Of Kristen/Ashley, Now That We Don't Want To See Them

Tired of Ashley Kristen Alexandra Dupre yet? Us too! But not US Magazine! The celebrity weekly has about a thousand pictures of Eliot Spitzer's allegedly high-class hooker, and they're all about as bad as this one, and we think the official title of this set is "The Official Seal of the Great State of New Jersey." Remember that picture of a pretty young Ashley/Kristen in a bikini on a yacht? That was apparently taken in 1978. [US Magazine]

MCGREEVEY CONFIRMS T.G.I. FRIDAY'S THREESOME CLUB: Ex-New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey has confirmed that he used to have threesomes with his wife and driver, covered in fried green beans and ranch dressing and performed on the Jack Daniels Grill at T.G.I. Friday's. Hilariously, his wife completely denies it. Aaaaand her divorce cash-in has just dropped like a mozzarella stick into steamy marinara goo. [AP/CBS News]

what's grosser than gross?

McGreevey's Gruesome Threesome Began At T.G.I. Friday's

Now that America is about finished with New York and its terrible sordid sex scandals, a nation turns its lonely eyes to New Jersey for more smut. And New Jersey delivers! Remember that other governor who had to resign because he slept with some non-wife sort of person? It turns out former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey maybe used to have sex with his wife and some other dude, at the same time. Worse yet, these unspeakable acts allegedly followed weekly dinners at T.G.I. Friday's. More »

9/11 To Run For Senate?

He never let us forget, and then we forgot for a few months, but now they don't want us to forget again: The Political Bosses in New Jersey are considering getting America's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, to run for Senate in New Jersey against America's Jew, Frank Lautenberg. But was he in New Jersey enough when the 9/11 buildings fell? More »

That Drunk Jersey Congressman Doesn't Want Highway Named After Him

Ex-Congressman Robert Roe of New Jersey, whose record of hitting family vans while drunkenly driving motorcars got a highway dedicated to him, is requesting that the Jersey government rescind the naming legislation. This request would’ve been useful before the legislature and governor drafted and passed the legislation. And why is he turning down this honor anyway — he’d get a highway, and people would chill after a month or two. Is he drunk again? [Daily Record]

New Jersey Names Highway After Drunk Driving Congressman

One night in 1993, then-Congressman Robert Roe of New Jersey, with a .17 blood-alcohol level, “veered out of his lane in Rockaway Township and ran head-on into a minivan carrying a family of three.” For this service to his country, the New Jersey state government recently renamed a highway after him. Congratulations to drunk ex-Congressman Robert Roe of New Jersey, America’s Highway Hero! More »

obama girls and the lies they tell

Obama Girl Is Biggest Fraud Since Theory of Evolution

You know that attractive lady, the Obama Girl? Well, like most attractive ladies, she is a complete liar. Obama Girl, nee “Obama Girl,” is a registered voter in New Jersey — where she most certainly didn’t vote for anything yesterday. According to Obama Girl, she was at an “election-watching party in Greenwich Village,” a famous gay community in New York City, and couldn’t get back to her Jersey hellhole in time to vote. Watch out for the pretty ones, Barry — they’ll break your heart every time. [City Room]

Corzine to Reduce Murder, Increase Crime

Wonkette Intern Extraordinare Greg Wasserstrom continues to surprise us by neither bringing us our coffee as specified in his blood oath nor being decidedly unfunny to make us look better. But, without coffee, we’re too lazy to crack down anyway.

I just have one question for Jon Corzine, governor of the State of New Fucking Jersey and it is this: What, sir, would Jesus do? Would he sign into law a bill banning the death penalty, the fucking death penalty, the most important tool in the law enforcement tool box? The verdict is in, Corzine, the verdict is in, and Huckabee and I know what Jesus really wants. But go ahead, governor. Sign away the lives of your citizens, as now there will be no deterrent to killing people in your state. But plow forward sir, you know what’s best. Go ahead and reverse a 42-year tradition of executing those individuals who, after being charged with a capital crime, were assigned a public defender for lack of access to an actual, non-poor-person lawyer and therefore convicted. Go ahead and spare those from death who would otherwise be exonerated by DNA evidence. That’s just so American and everything. As for me, I’m on the next bus to Moscow because what’s the fucking difference?

Who Is the Spoiled Child Here?

James “I Am A Gay American” McGreevey resigned as governor of New Jersey in 2004 with his wife by his side. That relationship went to shit after it turned out that he’d been fucking around on her with men pretty much their entire marriage and didn’t resign because he was gay so much as that he’s was about to get slapped with a sexual harassment suit over the gay man he put on the payroll. It didn’t get better when he went on Oprah and bragged that he got his first piece of ass from the guy while his wife, Dina, was in labor with their daughter, Jacqueline. She turns 6 this weekend, but the way. Guess how her estranged parents celebrated? More »

Buckle Up, New Jersey: Here Comes Governor Jon Bon Jovi!

Cheesy, big-haired rocker Jon Bon Jovi is supposedly mulling a run for New Jersey Governor. According to Page Six, the Bon Jovi frontman has moved his family to SoHo in New York, but is keeping his Red bank, NJ to claim state residency should he choose to make a bid for governor of the Garden State.

New Jersey Considers the Nutjob Vote

So, apparently they have one of these election days every year on the first Tuesday of November. You guys hear about this? And a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation reveals that Election Day 2007 is… today! While most Americans are probably ready to vote for the 2008 elections (or at least cede it to Hillary if she promises, in return, to give up that robust hyena cackle for four years), most of today’s ballots propose only small referendums, council elections, blah blah boring stuff. In New Jersey however, citizens across the state — exits 1 through 16E, at least — are tackling the toughest question of them all: How do we define the crazy retard vote? More »

New Jersey To Join USA & Allow Idiots To Vote

Discarded Hog Head Freaks Out NJ Politician

We usually ignore news about a “former state senator,” but when it involves a severed pig’s head and there’s a picture of said severed pig’s head …. The nobody in question is Alene Ammond, and it seems the head of a roasted pig was dumped on her lawn and she lost her mind, because it was facing the house. Talk, crazy lady, talk to the teevee person who doesn’t know how to write:
“It this just a joke? A sick joke?,” Ammond said. “And I don’t understand. Whatever it is, why me? Because the police apparently went around to see if there was vandalism, and there was nothing. It was just us — just this house.”
This happened in New Jersey, obviously. The police and the reporter are confused: “Police said they had never had a case like this before, and they were not aware of a symbolic meaning for a severed hog’s head, if one exists.” More »
