Shocking Profanity-Laced Video By ‘Eric Cantor’ Actually Made Two Years Ago, By Somebody Else

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

He is blameless and free of sin!Ugh you people David Denby is rolling in his grave, tut-tutting at the lack of fact-checking and basic research going on at the Huffington Post. Yes, we have seen this thing about how Eric Cantor allegedly distributed some video spoof about the union coalition AFSCME after they ran ads about what a bad person he was for opposing the stimulus bill. “The House whip reacted with an ad of his own, depicting AFSCME workers as curse-spewing bullies,” writes HuffPo’s Rachel Weiner, no relation to our own Juli Weiner (as far as we know! Ha, fact checking). MORE »


OH MY GOD

NYC Baker Makes Hilarious ‘Drunken Negro Head’ Cookies For Obama

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

“[The bakery owner] says the [Drunken Negro] cookies are a caricature, and a work of art. He says no one got upset about the DEAD GEESE BREAD he baked after the recent plane crash. …The bakery owner says he’s not prejudiced. ‘My brother-in law, he’s Cuban. So, you know, I like everybody.’” This is probably the best video on the Internet, right now. [Gothamist via Gawker]


WTF?

It’s A Political Comedy Video With All Of Your Favorite People!

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

We have no idea who the people behind “Funny or Die” are… but apparently they are very well connected in Hollywood and Washington? This thing has its moments, such as Mike Gravel quietly reading the Pentagon Papers and Madame Peggington Noonanshire simply showing her Shining face. [via Fishbowl DC]

Your Wonkette’s Top 10 Political Teevee Clips Of 2008!

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Thanks for your suggestions, America! We mostly agreed with your favorites, although a few “dark horses” made the final list because why not. Also, these are only teevee clips, not random D.I.Y. YouTubes of, what, Lego Sarah Palin in steampunk goggles fighting Darth Vader (Ron Paul) the fire-breathing dog with a sack of dildos & unicorn blood. (Someone please make that.) And so above — as a bonus! — we’ve posted the ABSOLUTE best self-made YouTube of 2008, in which the Paultards chase down Sean Hannity on a cold New Hampshire night. Hannity finally escapes into the hotel; the Paultards immediately grow silent until one lone hero yells, “You suck, Sean.” Man, New Hampshire was so much fun, everyone there and not one with a clue… MORE »


THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL

Joe The Plumber’s Life Officially Becomes Off-Putting David Lynch Film

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

We don’t know how to adequately explain the footage here. Unlicensed craftsman Samuel Wurzelbacher, who is also known as “Joe the Plumber,” is doing commercials for some cheap-ass electronics online scam store, in which he both stresses the importance of and promises to offer personal instructions for setting up an analog-to-digital teevee converter that the olds and the hobbits will all have to purchase before February 2009, or else they’ll miss new episodes of their favorite program, Numb3rs.

WE SHALL OVERCOME

Palin To Black Person: Todd & I Live With Racial Discrimination, Too!

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

We know today has been video-heavy, but this one, THIS ONE is the ticket, right here. A black fellow tells Sarah Palin that he is the only minority at her rally and asks how this can be improved upon. Palin replies that she knows what racism is like, because Todd is native Alaskan and, get this, “We live it.” Oh gosh golly, do we really only have a matter of hours left with this nut?

John McCain Complains About Media Love For Another Candidate With Gay Song Contest

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Sweet criminy, did Juan McCain send out a hot e-mail this morning or what: “It’s pretty obvious that the media has a bizarre fascination with Barack Obama. Some may even say it’s a love affair. We want you to be the judge. We’ve compiled two videos of the more outrageous moments of this not so secret love affair.” Indeed, it’s very similar to the “secret love affairs” that John McCain had during his first marriage, and more recently too, and also with the media.

CAMPAIGN ADS

A Children’s Treasury Of Recent, Playful McCain Web Videos

Monday, July 7th, 2008

We cannot give all campaign ads precious real estate on Wonkette. No, it’s not because there is too much other news to cover — in fact there is absolutely no news, at all, ever. It’s just because we have no idea these ads are coming out. Ha! Anyway we’ve taken the last four minutes to scan over John McCain’s YouTube page for any recent comical web ads. The digging effort has been, by most standards, a modest success. The video above is brand new from today and gets you pretty excited about jobs — no small task, indeed. Two others, after the jump.

TOO GOOD

‘Big John’ Cornyn Creates Comical ‘Western’ Montage Of Self

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Big John Cornyn had to speak at a convention,
Oh my, what to say, with all that attention!
He queried his staff, they dwelled on the matter,
‘Til finally they settled on iambic quadrameter!
“A cowboy to narrate! Some bales of hay!”
Then Cornyn responded, “but isn’t that gay?”
“Nay” said his staffers, “It’s rugged, and tough!
It’s hard-working and white; you’ll look crazy buff!”
So Cornyn agreed and they made this video,
It’s shockingly gay; they thought it was witty yo!
Dear god, it’s hilarious, to a cosmic degree,
‘Cause this is what happens when egos run free.

TERRORISM

YouTube To Joe Lieberman: ‘Suck It’

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

The terrorists hate him for his freedom, and his jowlsJoe Lieberman recently wrote to YouTube asking them to take down a bunch of terrorist training videos as well as any videos mentioning these terrorists and their training. And YouTube said, basically, that Grampa Joe could suck it, on account of the First Amendment. An excerpt from their blog after the jump. MORE »
