THE SAGA OF MIKE ALLEN, COMING SOON: DIRTY DIRTY SECRETS are on the way from the very important New York Times Magazine, and its excellent Mark Leibovich: “Politico scribes are buzzing about an upcoming NYT magazine piece by Mark Leibovich. Leibovich has interviewed many reporters at Politico for what is expected to be a lengthy [...]

POLITICO MEMO: HOW RAD ARE WE? WE’RE THIS RAD: “VandeHarris” — yes, the two kings of THE POLITICO do self-apply that nickname — have sent out a tubular faptastic memo to congratulate their staff for THE POLITICO’S accumulated CONSTANT WINS and uber-pwnage of motherfucking everything. *Air guitar solo!* A selection: “Gang, There is nothing we [...]

The greatest political satire of the decade — this funny animated movie about the Politico — appeared yesterday on some Web 2.6 internet website we’d never heard of before. So, being Washington journalists who WIN THE MOTHERFUCKING MORNING, we tracked down the writer and director, a “Peter Smith,” if that is his real name. And [...]

WHOEVER MADE THIS IS A GENIUS. [Xtranormal via The Awl]

Well shucks, it’s past 4 p.m. and your Wonkette is only now getting to the POLITICO‘s win of the morning, if not the past 100 years: Barack Obama is secretly planning to run again, in 2012 — this time for President of the United States. As if there were no deficits! How did the other [...]

An English hobbit from The Shiringhamtondovershire, presumably, runs a website called TORY POLITICO about his precious cricket matches and politics and fried Mars bars. Now he’s being threatened by the POLITICO’s parent company’s contracted lawyers!

Everyone very respectfully say “cya bye” to “Scorecard,” one of the POLITICO’s many manifestations that sound like they might have to do with a sex thing, but tragically do not. And as POLITICO is incapable of writing about events that it cannot force into the narrative of a campaign, “Scorecard” has already been replaced by [...]

Alternately, this gestures means “POLITICO” in American sign language. [Nein Glied!]

Simply gratuitous, that black and white drawing of what sex is. [NSFW]

Mike Johanns and 19 fellow Republican senators demand hearing over Bill Clinton’s rumored sexual relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky in 3…2…1…

John Ensign is a huge problem for the Democrats, it is true. (They have replaced him with Charlie Rangel, now.)

Women: a new trend, via POLITICO. [Just, no.]

Oh ho ho ho, big victory for banal reactionary Mad Lib The POLITICO, as executive editor Jim VandeHei was just elected to serve on the Pulitzer Board. He is the first person from the Internet to ever do such a thing! Reports… the POLITICO, cynically: “‘In many ways, the Pulitzer Board is on the same [...]

David Diaperman Vitter is, of course, a repulsive scumbag who pays hookers to change his poopy diapers and then goes to the Senate to screech wingnut inanities. The Politico, on the other hand, is exactly the same thing, but available as a website or handout. And so it is that the Politico breathlessly reports not [...]
