Old timey radio show!YOUR EDITOR HAS TO GO TAPE A RADIO THING NOW: Wonkette’s own Sara K. Smith will be on the “Good News, Bad News, No News” segment of Weekend America tomorrow, offering her valuable opinions on the news — that is, unless she chokes on her tongue during the taping, or is unable to come up with family-friendly descriptors for Joe Lieberman. The point is, Ken will be posting “soon.” [Weekend America]

John McCain Maybe Doesn’t Know Who Runs Spain These Days

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Will he meet with this first-world tinpot dictator?We have listened to this recording of John McCain’s interview with Radio Caracol Miami where he appears not to know who the prime minister of Spain is, or whether or not he’d be willing to meet with him. It is just … weird. MORE »

Sean Hannity Becomes A Hundred-Millionaire!

Monday, July 21st, 2008

This explains why Angelina Jolie is a liberal.That jabbering nitwit on Fox just signed a $100 million, five-year deal that will distribute his radio show through Citadel and Clear Channel networks. It’s significantly less than Rush Limbaugh’s recent $400 million, eight-year contract — but still, nothing to sneeze at. So what might Sean Hannity spend his truckloads of cash on? MORE »

CAR TALK

MANY WORDS WRITTEN ABOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH: The NYT Magazine has posted Zev Chafets’ very long and still pretty interesting Sunday cover story on the AM talk-radio entertainer. Conclusion: Rush is a super-rich weirdo and clever broadcaster who annoys a lot of people and pleases a lot of other people, the end. [NYT Magazine]


VENT YOUR ANGRY

Help Hillary Dude Make Nobama Radio Commercials!

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Ed Hale, creator of the World’s Greatest Website for pretend Hillary Clinton fanatics who WILL NOT VOTE FOR THE COLORED, has a favor to ask. Would you mind making Internet-radio commercials for his make-believe Internet Radio show against the Nobamas? You know, if you “think you have what it takes to be a radio star”? It is going to be a whole radio network“The NO Obama Talk Show Network. A place where you can vent your angry against Obama.” Let’s vent our angry together. MORE »


NEW YORK TIMES

Tom DeLay Is Hitler

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay — whose accomplishments include outsourcing legislation to lobbyists, money laundering, playing golf with Jack Abramoff, and ultimately destroying any hope for his party to regain Congressional majorities in the near future — is now going on some measly radio show calling Barack Obama a “Marxist.” Silly Tom! That kind of blather belongs on the tawdry op-ed pages of the New York Times, not on America’s radio. [The Hill]


CAMPAIGN ADS

Ron Paul Working Radio Ads (And Winning) In Pennsylvania

Monday, April 21st, 2008


The Ron Paul surprise sneak attack on Pennsylvania is a real winner! He now has this radio ad up in the state, and you can listen to it in the video clip above. Whacky! It suggests that you call 877-RON-PAUL for more information. We called that number for some reason and noted to some volunteer that we heard about Ron Paul on the radio and were told to call the number. He responded, “Ron Paul will be on the ballot tomorrow, if you want to vote for him.” 877-RON-PAUL is the best Ron Paul Liberty phone number ever! [YouTube]

Screwed Rush Limbaugh To Raise Cash For Hillary, Watch Her Lose

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Now that Mitt Romney is … please, one second [editorial sobbing] … now that Mittens is out of the presidential race, Rush Limbaugh has to scrape together a new plan for life. Rather than just support John McCain, he intends to to raise cash for Hillary Clinton. Not because he likes her (please)! He wants her to get the nomination so that his party can find a cause to rally around. But that doesn’t mean he likes John McCain! He just wants the Republicans to win the election. But not John McCain! [Raw Story]

Rush Limbaugh Saving World Today

Monday, February 4th, 2008

No, he actually is! He’s dedicating his entire show today towards John McCain being a gay liberal, who’s only good for the gay nomination in the Gay Party, because he votes for gay… spending… reform… things of that nature. Hey, he’d be a perfect fit for the Republican nomination!

Either way, we must praise Rush Limbaugh today, and only today: VOTE FOR MITTENS. TOMORROW. FOR THE THING. Please? [The Page]


REPUBLICANS

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

*LEARNING TO DEAL:* America’s most important Republican, Rush Limbaugh, delivered a “non-concession” speech to John McCain today. He admits WALNUTS! looks solid for the nomination, and then he whines: “All the candidates on our side, for various reasons, are uninspiring or worse and so just as I predicted the base has fractured.” In other words, the party avoided my advice, but I’m not irrelevant because I predicted they would avoid my advice. Shamnesty? Remember, guys? [Latest Politics]
