FORWARDED EMAIL IS THE NEW TWITTER

Wingnut School Board President Sends Usual Wacky Racist Emails To Everybody

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Organic Garden.It’s a week of the year in America, so that means it’s time for another wingnut local official to get busted for sending the hilarious racist emails to everybody. Meet Robert J. Weller, president of the Lewiston-Porter School Board somewhere in the sticks about 40 miles northeast of Albany somewhere north of Buffalo but it does not appear on any maps as it is not on Earth. Weller, who ran for the board in 2007 and came in fifth place and somehow got appointed to the the board anyway, because who even cares, apparently spends all his free time at home forwarding the funnies about the coloreds to “friends and fellow board members.” And, as usual, some worry wart P.C. libtards don’t get the joke.

MEET THE NEW WONKETTE WORLD HEADQUARTERS

Former AIG Building Will Likely Be Sold For $100 A Square Foot

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Sold, to a foreigner probablyIs that insanely cheap for commercial real estate? Seems like! Anyhow, the haunted million-square-foot carcass of the former AIG headquarters at 70 Pine and 72 Wall Street in beautiful New York City appears to have found a buyer for the bargain-basement price of $100 million. Who’s the lucky winner, Donald Trump? The Cato Institute? The buyers “would have been carefully vetted,” a source told the New York Post, from which we can conclude it’s just Tom Daschle wasting the last of his lunch money. [New York Post]


GROUNDHOG DAY

Bernie Kerik Indicted … Again

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Nice sweater.As periodic as the Indian monsoons are the indictments of Rudy Giuliani’s best friend, Bernie Kerik. He was nearly made the Secretary of Homeland Security in 2004, but then he had to withdraw his nomination on account of “nanny problems,” which is DC slang for “a closet so full of skeletons and crookery that he should rent out a storage unit, paid for by unsavory corporate interests.” MORE »

Anthony Weiner Not Running For NYC Mayor

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Not cynical!Man, we kinda liked this guy! He was (is?) dating that pretty gal from the Clinton campaign, and he recently dared to say something not entirely positive about Jon Stewart, and hell, he is not Michael Bloomberg, all of which made him a refreshingly human-seeming type to run for New York Mayor. But he will not do this thing, for several reasons. MORE »


HEY IT'S A PAYCHECK

Attention Job Seekers: Glenn Beck Is Hiring!

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Free shipping!If you want to weather the recession in style, there’s no better bet than serving our nation’s ever-diminishing population of wingnuts. As more Americans climb aboard B-Rock NObama’s Socialism ‘n’ Poetry Jams Express, frustrated conservatives have flocked to a few of the nation’s last reputable wingnut media outlets for soothing words about how right they still are about everything even if “the news” says they’re wrong.

Take that, opposite marriage!NEW YORK HALFWAY TO GAYSVILLE: Governor Paterson’s proposal to legalize gay marriage in New York has passed the State Assembly. Some Republicans even voted for it! Now it just has to be approved by the State Senate, which will be harder. [Politicker NY]

Michael Bloomberg Not Told About Obama’s Secret ‘Other’ 9/11

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Remember when Barack Obama made 9/11 happen again with one of his “backup” Air Force Ones, just so a few schmucks could get tourist snapshots of such famous New York sights as the Muslim president crashing into the Statue of Liberty? Well no one even told Michael Bloomberg, the mayoral sprite of New York City, and he is furious! “Furious!” Barack Obama is the worst president in American history. [Clusterstock]


ALWAYS PLOTTING AGAINST US

Obama Attacks Statue of Liberty

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Never Forget.New York was TERRORIZED this morning by, guess who, Barack Obama and his Air Force One. People are still a little jumpy after that whole 9/11 thing, so when a huge passenger jet seemed to be headed for Lower Manhattan, and then for the Statue of Liberty, there was some freaking out. Why is Obama doing this to New York City? Seems he wanted a “cool picture” of his plane dive-bombing Lady Liberty! MORE »

  • TEDISCO CONCEDES, MURPHY WINS: Late-night 9/11 masturbatrix Jim Tedisco has officially conceded the NY-20 Congressional race to PUMA leader Murphy. Congratulations, Murphy! [Capital News 9]

REPUBLICANS ARE BACK ... UH NEVER MIND

Jim Tedisco Likely To Concede Today (ARE YOU LISTENING NORM COLEMAN?)

Friday, April 24th, 2009

In tied races, both candidates should be drowned.Jim Tedisco, Republican of New York, has apparently lost New York’s 20th congressional district special election to Scott Murphy. But, as it was pretty close, Tedisco and the Republicans contested some ballots and blah blah, the usual thing, and today — after such embarrassments as challenging the residency of Air America liberal radio host Sam Seder, who not only has his permanent residence in the district but served as a jury foreman there the week of the election — Tedisco is probably going to concede.

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Who is this guy, even? We had never heard of him before the teabagging stuff.If getting double-teamed by James Carville and Paul Begala is not your “cup of tea bags,” then head on over to the eBay and have your credit card ready! Glenn Beck, dough-head wingnut star of Fox TeeVee’s Goin’ Nuts Again with Glenn Beck, is selling his puffy body and all its orifices, on eBay! For one glorious day, you can do whatever you want to Glenn Beck! We bet it’s for some weird cause like preventing gay marriage. You don’t have to marry him, jeez! Just do whatever you like. Put him on a dog leash, cum in his ears, re-enact that Two Girls, One Cup youtube, whatever. It’s your day. It’s your Glenn Beck. (Probably not legal to kill him, although who knows what the laws are in New York City, the way they are waging a campaign of brutality against Rush Limbaugh and all that.) [Teablogging.net/eBay]
