Mitt to Beg Voters to Overlook His Scary and Confusing Religion

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

28% of Americans refuse to vote for a Mormon, which poses a problem for Mormon presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Because unlike black people or New Yorkers or any number of the other groups of people who won’t vote for Mitt, most of those 28% are probably Republicans. And Mitt gets harassed about his nutty beliefs and magic pajamas by yahoos like us everywhere he goes, when he’d much, much rather talk about how none of his sons are gays and how we need to save all the stem cells from Osama bin Pelosi.

Novak: Freddie’s Dead

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

Robert Novak’s “important neutral Republican” sources all hate Hollywood Freddie Thompson because the famous movie star did not hire them or ask for their help when starting his campaign to be our TV president. So they have all told Novak, in private, that Thompson’s campaign has “crashed and burned on takeoff.” They do have a point: the man didn’t really make a big splash with his Conference Telephone Call Announcement (the Tonight Show thing doesn’t count, because he’d already announced basically and he didn’t even ride a motorcycle). But Republicans still intensely hate all their other candidates for being closet abortionists and adulterers and Mormons so Freddie still has a chance, even though he very well may also be one or all of those things himself.

BOB NOVAK’S IN UR JURIEZ, CONVICTIN’ UR PEEPS

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Eyewitness report sent by a high-ranking Wonkette Operative this morning:

I am at DC Superior Court and Bob Novak is on the same jury pool I am. He just got called into Judge Mott’s courtroom (301).

And then, the shocking update:

Novak just got empaneled. I was excused, case is Aggravated Assault & Attempted Robbery. Oh the irony that he is on a jury on the same day that Libby is sentenced.

And oh the justice if it was Novak being tried! MORE »

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Donald Rumsfeld has some bathroom issues that Robert Novak can smell clear across town, Ed Harris and John Voight kick themselves for taking advice from frat boys, and Chris Matthews makes sure his tips are properly frosted. All this, plus Ted Koppel without the helmet and why you should begin fearing Michelle Malkin’s kids now.

Wonk’d: It Ain’t That Cold

Friday, January 5th, 2007

kittyarrow.jpgIt’s a new year in Wonk’d but all the famous-for-dc cats have already broken their resolutions. Laura Bush only made it 3 days before she was back on the sauce, Robert Novak may have been at the happiest place on Earth, but he was still an asshole, and of course there’s Katherine Harris, as you can see, taking to the streets of Florida during the warmest winter ever, in an ankle length fur coat. You get these dandies plus a Member of Congress who loves to stare at members of men, after you unzip.

Novak Confirms Shelley Sekula-Gibbs Is Nuts

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

It can’t be easy to outrage Tom DeLay’s staff. We have known some of The Hammer’s people, and they’re generally vindictive sleazebag thugs. They even stood out on the Hill. What would it take to make them all quit and stomp off to sulk at Starbucks?

Was Shelley Sekula-Gibbs giving forced abortions to white Christians while listening to Barbra Streisand? Nah. She just demanded that Bush and Cheney show up for her very special swearing in, which violates … sanity, or something. A Wonkette Operative sends the relevant chunk of Bob Novak’s upcoming column, which we’ve kindly hidden after the jump.

Because Bob Novak Would Never Just Make Shit Up To Confuse Everybody …

Monday, October 9th, 2006

With all his friends ... - WonketteEvil Bob Novak says Republicans aren’t pushing Hastert out of his extra-large speaker’s chair because “it’s really moot,” because the GOP has already given up and expects to lose the House.

“It’s really moot,” one of Hastert’s most severe Republican critics (who would not be identified) told me. “We are sure to lose the House, and Denny never would want to be minority leader.”

Well, good. Everybody can relax …. Except for one little thing: This makes no fucking sense.If Hastert doesn’t want to be minority leader and the House is lost to the Democrats, then he should obviously resign now to escape the shame of being minority leader when Congress meets again after the elections. But he won’t resign, and it’s causing all kinds of uncomfortable scenes at GOP fund-raising dinners because nobody wants to be photographed with or even near Jabba the Hastert. What to make of it?

Wonk’d: Connecticut Avenue’s 136 Minutes of Fame

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Delay.jpgNew York, LA, New York, LA — no one gives a shit about DC until their tangentially-related-to-public-service movie has to premiere, then all of a sudden Cleveland Park is where it’s at. At least a solid Demi Moore sighting came out of the screening of The Guardian last week, but she’s not even in it. And while Demi is gone already, some people just never leave, as evidenced by the above photo of (the back of) Tom DeLay duck-walking down H St. Others that were Wonk’d this week: Marion Barry needs his ride pimped, Harriet Miers shops for pimp threads, and the prince of darkness is overheard on his cell phone asking, “Is Bob Novak gonna have to choke a bitch?” All these and your third favorite Ghostbuster, after the jump.

Wonk’d: Two Amys, Three Matthewses

Friday, August 11th, 2006

Intern Nick is on vacation this week (along with the rest of DC), so your dedicated editors had to compile this edition of Washington’s favorite unverified stalking guide all by themselves. Pity us, and learn where Helen Thomas eats, and the places Robert Novak has been known to walk by. Also: did you know that C-Span anchors are celebrities? Brian Lamb sure didn’t! That was the week that was, after the jump.
