Hey America! Those of you without the “luck” to be in Washington D.C. freezing your balls off while the new president was sworn in still had the wonderful opportunity to freeze your balls off someplace else instead while watching the exact same thing! For example, many people in New York City who could have hung out in warm places, like BARS, instead decided to go to Times Square and stand cheek by jowl with 1.5 billion of their fellow citizens watching the guy on the Jumbotron stuttering through his oath of office.

It’s no joke, people! Voting lines in New York are just NUTS. But if the Obama campaign supplies “Comfort Teams” like they’re doing in Georgia, you will all get water and hot chocolate soon, and maybe a hand job for your troubles. Two sort of detailed reports after the jump. Send your informations to tips@wonkette, if you have more exciting things to share! MORE »

Here is a very special TO-DO with all the bars in DC and New York (and Arizona and Bangkok) that will be hosting Big Election Night Parties. (More U.S. and Global parties are here!) Go sake o’bombing and see the Yes We Can-Can! dancers because who knew there are so many alcohol-Obama hybrid puns that we can believe in? Also, what’s a party without celebrities? Here we have some gal who used to be on American Idol and star of MTV’s The Hills Jeffrey Rosen. MORE »

GAHHHHH what the hell, why is this furry with a massive throat cancer oxygen hole thing in its neck allowed to prey on innocent New York CBS anchor Harry Smith? Because it’s a Republican furry, of course! Remember in 2004 how all lobotomized college/young Republicans would walk around like fucktards in FLIP FLOP COSTUMES because of, what, something about that fag peace-slut John Kerry from France? Well this is the 2008 version and yes, be scared, because these furry squirrels are protesting ACORN. GAME OVER n00bama go back to INDOCHINA with your FAKE DAD from OUTER MUSLIM SPACE. The furries have a blog called [Acorns Don't Fall Far From The Tree]

Here’s your “Friday Fun Video” that has nothing to do with politics, thank GOD. This week, Wonkette videographer Liz Glover is wearing her other hat as BlackBook reporter in New York City for Fashion Week, an event to honor 9/11 with fancy clothes. Liz interviews insane “art film” director and actor Vincent Gallo and asks him, comically, if his leather jacket is “pleather.” Gallo loses his shit and threatens to track down Liz and fuck her up. Ha ha! Liz responds that her father was in ‘Nam, which he was. [BlackBook]

All of the week’s partisan bickering and lipstick-related nastiness can’t change the fact that both Barack Obama and John McCain want what’s best for this country, except for Barack Obama. Now we will liveblog the endless string of platitudes and remonstrances to “never forget” that are required of any politician commemorating the day when Rudy Giuliani failed to protect his city from two commercial airliners. CNN informs us that the candidates will not speak together at tonight’s special 9/11 Commemorative Service Forum, which we guess means that one of them will be held in a Silence Cone with a crying bald eagle until the other one is done delivering his canned answers to Judy Woodruff. Let’s roll! MORE »

DOES HIS WIFE KNOW WHERE HE IS?: Yesterday the videographers at TMZ ran into disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, just a-walkin’ the streets of New York City! He was evidently searching for new prostitutes while carrying a tabbed folder, which was also filled with prostitutes. In this 20-second video, Spitzer says that he is “working,” which is black street slang for “being a homeless STD-riddled bum.” Eliot Spitzer is completely naked for this entire video. [TMZ]

Here is that guy from the famous “Hillary In The House” videos, as spotted by Rumproast’s “Kevin K.” outside Hillary’s fake New York City rally Tuesday. We know his name now, and it’s “Paul Edward Blaise McClure,” a fine Christian Name, verily. “McClure” was giving out fliers at the event, too, and guess what? He’s puttin’ on a show! Check out the invite after the jump. All of Wonkette’s New York City operatives are required to attend. MORE »

Well first and foremost a big fist-bump to old Hillary Clinton, who has won the great state of South Dakota, her 50th state victory of the season, and now she leads Obama by 20 million popular votes and infinity delegates. Why are the media and its blacks trying to push her out of the race, knowing this? Let’s see what Hillary has to say about her Pyrrhic Victory, and beyond. MORE »

On-again, off-again douchebag New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman was pleasantly trenchant in his column on the “gas tax holiday” yesterday, in which he proved in eight or nine different ways why John McCain is a traitor for proposing this. A CNN anchor brought up Friedman’s column with McCain today, and McCain comically called Friedman a gay New York rich liberal pinko elitist. And then he felt bad and said he loves Thomas Friedman. What gives? We’re hearing that his campaign advisers forgot to give him his strawberry cream cheese-coated “Remembrall” this morning. MORE »

OFFICERS CLEARED IN SEAN BELL CASE: Three police detectives found not guilty. “They got away with murder,” says one member of the crowd outside the Queens Criminal Court Building. [NYT]
