Oh Boy, A Liberal Racist Video Summarizing The Democratic Primary Fight!

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Those wacky contrarians at Slate have produced an 8-minute video summarizing the Democratic nomination fight. Ah yes, we remember that “thing.” Ha ha, no we don’t. But still, two complaints: (1) They forgot Hamas Waffles — “Lemme eat my waffle,” the guy said — and (2) they forgot Hamas Waffles, still. [Slate]

DEAR SLATE.COM ADVICE LADY: My family members are staunch Democrats and love to bad-mouth Republicans every time the conversation turns to politics. This is heartbreaking, because I myself am a secret Republican. My mom already knows that I’m in love with a Republican, and she won’t stop condemning him behind his back for his beliefs, calling him names like “right-wing whack job” and “little lord Republiroy” (also making fun of his height). My brothers all say stuff like, “Republicans suck” and, “Those Republicans are dumb-***es.” I am afraid to come out to them about my beliefs because of potential verbal abuse being heaped on me. Also, being a teenager, I do not have the advantage of moving out of the house and escaping said abuse. What should I do? [Dear Prudence/Slate]


Is Oliver Stone’s Bush Movie a Terrible Hoax?

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

A version of the screenplay for Oliver Stone’s new movie about George W. Bush — the working title is “W.” — has been floating around the news recently, and most people are curious as to whether it’s a joke. Tough call. On one hand, it is campy and politically over-the-top; on the other, it is post-1992 Oliver Stone film, like Alexander or Nixon. Slate read the script and picked out some choice moments, and one of them involves America’s president describing himself as a rabbit in a “carrot patch.” But who doesn’t? MORE »


Mayor Fenty Illegally Campaigns For Obama?

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Everyone knows DC Mayor Adrian Fenty is a big Obama supporter. During Wonkette’s trip to New Hampshire, we even saw him at Obama’s loser rally. (“Polaroid Liz” Glover got a shot, but the Polaroid came out blank. Sad!) But he may have been “electioneering” a little too much today — as in, electioneering outside a polling location where no electioneering is allowed. MORE »

AND YOUR POINT IS? Christopher Hitchens is upset about all the dumb white-guilt drooling over Barack Obama’s empty campaign. [Slate]


Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

FIRST HE HATED JESUS, NOW HE HATES IOWA: Christopher Hitchens notes that the “Iowa Caucus” is not democracy at all, but some long-winded social event at which a few thousand Iowans are bribed with sandwiches. [Slate]


Hillary’s Terrible Laugh Dooming Her Campaign

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee - WonketteSlate’s head political writer, John Dickerson, wants to know: what the hell is wrong with Hillary Clinton’s crazy laugh? He’s embedded it in the story and everything, just like Matt Drudge did that one time. Apparently Hillary needs to stop laughing because she’s creeping everyone out. Also she laughs every time she lies which is always. Or, specifically, when she voted for Iraq and introduced her health care initiative in 1993 (there’s no YouTube of this, so you’ll just have to take Dickerson’s word for it).

Bwah-Ha-Ha! [Slate] (no, we did not make that headline up)

The Zeitgeist Checklist Checklist: Have You Caught the Musharraf Fever?

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

This is Dana Milbank’s last Zeitgeist Checklist before his unfortunate book leave, so we’ll be gentle. The checklist run in The Post on Sundays. Sure, it runs in Slate on Friday nights or Saturdays, but no one reads Slate on weekends, fer chrissakes. What we’re getting at is, for a column that runs on a Sunday and is meant to, in a sense, predict or explain the coming week (are we wrong?), it’s unfortunate that the only thing anyone is actually talking about this week is listed at number seven and falling (losing to Pervez Musharraf!)
