UPDATE: Jonah Goes Nuts Over WHCD Report

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Hooray, we made a Jonah Goldberg post on The Corner! Time to break out the sparkling cider HMM? Jonah simply does not care for this website’s devastating investigative “reporting” (got an e-mail, determined the source was credible enough and the content was harmless, posted it as gossip — JUST LIKE B. WOODWARD), and says that he DID stand for the President… briefly… barely… shouldn’t even have to stand for that fucking guy… and that the problem was boredom. He went to a black-tie Washington reporters’ banquet but wasn’t expecting to be bored. MORE »


THE CORNER BUT IN REAL LIFE

WHCD Spy Dishes On ‘Insufferable’ Jonah & K-Lo Dinner Behavior

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

We already know that National Review Internet overlord Kathryn Jean Lopez was none too pleased with the Washington political/media establishment’s behavior at the White House Correspondents Dinner, where Barack Obama and Wanda Sykes refused to praise Rush Limbaugh for keeping America safe these past eight years. But now a deep-undercover Wonkette operative who was sitting a table over from Jonah and K-Lo’s — well within earshot — presents us with a disturbing report of how the two “were insufferable all night long,” and should never be allowed in public again.

Liz Glover Goes Nuts On Teevee, In A Good Way

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Oh look, former Wonkette “Pornographer to the Stars” and current Washington Times gossip reporter Liz Glover went on the MSNBC teevee this weekend during a rare furlough from her regular job selling knick-knacks in the ghetto for the glory & prestige of Rev. Moon. She and her “less eccentric” (media-trained) partner discuss things that you will not want to hear about at all, like fashion and the power-politics dynamic of the White House Correspondents Dinner, but it’s fun to watch Liz randomly dancing and putting on props and breaking her microphone completely.

K-Lo Did Not Have A Good Time At WHCD

Monday, May 11th, 2009

We mentioned earlier that we saw staunch “Reagan Conservative” and National Review marm Kathryn Jean Lopez at a pre-WHCD cocktail party, where she looked uncomfortable, what with all the homosexuals sipping the Devil’s Vinegar and all. Unlike your Wonkette, however, K-Lo stayed for the dinner portion, where she saw the various blacks make 9/11 jokes to an appreciative liberal media audience all cackling like sadists and jumping on tables left and right to perform partial-birth abortions and play frisbee with the bloody mutilated fetuses while sucking each others’ gay-married cocks and pooping on pictures of Ronald Reagan and the Pope before injecting white children with the AIDS cancer and science juice.

Meghan McCain Obnoxious To Everyone At WHCD

Monday, May 11th, 2009

He did not get me enough ticketsEveryone was so mean to Meghan McCain at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it says in the papers! Oh my. Meghan wanted to bring all her girlfriends in so they could be gettin’ that drink on, grindin’ up against Mark’s Penn’s leg, woot woot, Meghan just being Meghan, right? But then they only gave her two tickets, right? And she needed three, right? If only those security slaves knew that she was a columnist for a little thing called UMM THE DAILY BEAST, then they wouldn’t be gettin’ all up in her grill. Right? MORE »


DC'S MOST IMPORTANT JOURNALISTIC DINNER-DANCE

Your Anti-Climactic And Partial Wonkette WHCD 2k9 Report, With Fotos!

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Just to the left of this photo is a 9-foot 350-pound brainsmasher who happens to be Rahm Emanuel’s Secret Service guy (he usually carries Rahm around on piggyback, with Rahm brandishing a whip, yelling, “Faster, seeee?”) As the flash goes off, Rahm is saying to this Colossus, basically, “Why is the fucking Wonkette kid taking my fucking picture at this fucking Atlantic party?” But that cannot be confirmed.

Oh you want more pictures from the two things we went to this weekend, for the White House Dinner-Dance? Sorry, you’re not on the list, and we can’t let anyone who isn’t on the list look at our photos. But okay. MORE »


AMERICA'S MOST IMPORTANT JOURNALISTIC DINNER-DANCE

Monday, May 11th, 2009
  • ABOUT THE WHCD: (”WHCD,” that’s what those of us “in-the-know” call it.) Yes: Raped, killed, and sent to Fox News, all of that, but in reverse-order. And Rahm Emanuel’s bodyguard? About as intimidating as one would imagine Rahm Emanuel’s bodyguard to be. And K-Lo, saw K-Lo too. So we’ll post a few pictures — oh no god no, not of K-Lo… yeeesh — of this vulgar p.r. stunt in the morning, or the afternoon, or whenever we recover our camera’s USB cable from the trash.

Add another newspaper, something to do with my change.HAS ANYONE SEEN JIM NEWELL? Wonkette’s Capitol Hill Typing Demon was supposed to go to a dozen or more Media/Nobama parties over this White House Correspondents Dinner weekend, but we haven’t heard from him since Friday. Was he raped or killed or sent to Fox News or something?
