Next Year They Can Attack President WALNUTS!: Liveblogging the Democratic Response

Monday, January 28th, 2008

sebe.jpgGeorge W. Bush is still president? I thought we had six presidents, mostly in Florida now, who will slowly whittle down to one: the most Changing candidate. Is Bush still doing things, laws and lies and such, and we don’t know because we’ve been watching the 2008 crowd? Did he mention a War on Syria in that speech, a surprise war, that’s somehow three, four weeks old, and we have no shred of a clue? I didn’t watch the State of the Union, but I bet it was… that.

Here’s the governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, giving the Democrat response. MORE »

The Eighth Annual G.W. Bush S.O.T.U. Drinking Game

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Drink up, and be somebody, I'll have another roundSince January 2001, when our then-new President Bush gave his first fake State of the Union address — it was actually a “budget message,” as he had only been in the White House a few hours and hadn’t yet screwed up the country forever — America has gathered together for one glorious evening each January for our most precious freedom. Yes, we are talking about binge drinking while George W. Bush mispronounces common words on the teevee. MORE »

Dennis Kucinich Will Single-Handedly Impeach Bush

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Welcome President Pelosi A few years back, everybody was all, “Let’s impeach Bush & Cheney & Rumsfeld and try them for war crimes and execute them by firing squad, on Pay Per View.” And then our nation sort of got over it — what administration doesn’t launch a bunch of illegal wars — because the Democrats won Congress and the economy collapsed and now Americans are basically just looking around nervously for food and shelter, maybe under that bridge.

Well the good times are back: Dennis Kucinich is going to impeach George W. Bush on Monday! MORE »


Wonkette Operative Special Mission: Be Michele Bachmann’s Intern!

Monday, March 5th, 2007

This is the kind of double-secret intelligence-gathering covert agent work that separates the Tipsters from the Operatives: Congresswoman Michele Bachmann ISO young, sexy college students to serve as spring interns.

Although she has only served for six or so weeks (so far!), Rep. Bachmann has already distinguished herself by:

a) Sexually assaulting the president on live teevee after the State of the Union speech.
b) Doing right-wing talk-show interviews while naked.
c) Unveiling the secret conspiracy to give Iraq to Van Morrison’s old band (”Them”).
d) Running a Minnesota baby farm.

Don’t you want to work with the Honorable Hotty McCrazyLady? Details after the jump.
