Wonkette

Here’s a clip from Fox News’ Fox & Friends program last Thursday in which they discuss a KFC opening in Fallujah, in Iraq. They are so excited about the fast food wage-slave chain being opened in this awful city, because it means “things are working” in Iraq, democracy and economics, what have you; the little brown terrorists can all now eat greasy chicken and be fat slobs like us. General Tommy Franks is interviewed and says this is great, hurrah. But it turns out there is no real KFC in Fallujah after all; it’s just some black market chop-shop that they probably threw together to make Barack Obama feel welcome during his visit.

As you know, we love ourselves some Wonk’d sightings. There’s still time to submit sightings for this week’s round-up; so if you haven’t done so already, please email us (subject line: “Wonk’d” or “Sighting”).

We also adore photographs and video footage, which we’ll be using even more liberally in the weeks ahead. When you submit Wonk’d sightings accompanied by photos — e.g., a picture of E.J. Dionne and William Galston having lunch, or one of the tour bus of Kimora Lee Simmons — you bring us special joy.

So we’d like to encourage you to take great photos and send them our way. To get the ball rolling, we offer you reader-taken photos of two former “generals” — ex-Attorney General John Ashcroft, and retired Army General Tommy Franks — at recent college graduations.

Check them out, along with commentary from our secret paparazzi, after the jump.
