WTF?

The Worst Poll Imaginable Is, Indeed, Conducted

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

“NEW YORK (Reuters) - Women would rather carpool or go on vacation with Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama than with his Republican rival John McCain, a new poll of U.S. women voters showed on Tuesday.” What the fuck does this even mean? “Carpooling” and “vacationing” are two very distinct acts. So they have asked women across the country, basically, which candidate they would rather schlep to pre-school or, conversely, go to the Jersey Shore with. John McCain polls better with white women, so we might infer that there is some strange demographic called bl… black… black women? HISPANIC WOMEN? Who are these so-called “people,” and why do we never hear about them? [Reuters]

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

The world's gone madDown is up, up is down, and two plus two is five. In other news, Hillary Clinton had people rolling on the floor of the Hilton ballroom in New York City as she gave a brief, entertaining speech, while Barack Obama gave a “more sedate and lengthy” address full of boring policy crap. Oh God oh God oh God the world has gone MAD, those 18 million voters were right after all and Barack Obama is Nixon in a pantsuit. MORE »

Barack Obama Is Misogynist Pig

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008


Barack Obama hates women, because he’s a fairy, and also because they don’t vote for him. Guy goes to Michigan today, for example. What does he call this Journalistic Local Reporter Girl? He calls her “Sweetie,” earning a tragically sarcastic remark in response. Can we safely assume that he is pro-life now? [YouTube]

McCain Finds 14-Year-Old Girl ‘Very Attractive’

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Pervy old galoot.John McCain is such a maverick that he acted like a jerk to a kid who asked him a perfectly reasonable question in one of his precious Town Hall Meetings in Michigan. And then after he intimidated and belittled this very nervous child who wanted to know why he opposed the Fair Pay Act, he went on The Daily Show and referred to her as “a very attractive young woman.” Horrifying video footage after the jump.

Cindy McCain’s Tell-All Memoir Due Out This Fall!

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Xanax cocktail recipes on p. 211If you ever wondered about the secret lives of pill-popping blondes but were too lazy to crack Valley of the Dolls, future First Lady Cindy McCain will help you out. In her memoir, due out just a few months before her angry midget husband is crowned Emperor of America, she will reveal all of her secrets to staying healthy, wealthy, and married to a physically and emotionally fragile war veteran. In other words, the book will be a sort of Less Than Zero meets Deceptively Delicious with a sprinkling of Old Yeller. It will sell one trillion copies after Oprah adds it to her Book Club.

Wonkette Accused Of Not Loving Hillary Clinton

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

What newspaper used this Letters to the Editor graphic? Answer in the Comments!Dear Editor,

I am done. As much as I enjoy reading the adolescent snarky head-lines and the news that they allege to describe, I am fed up. Wonkette consistently uses Senator Clinton as a punching bag. It is my opinion that Wonkette is as culpable as the rest of the low brow general media with their emotionally laden bludgeons on Senator Clinton. MORE »


HILLARY CLINTON

noGOD, QUIT STALKING HIM: Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, who Insiders say is a big deal lady politician, has endorsed Kenyan candidate Barack Obama. This endorsement is subject to change when Hillary Clinton starts crying again, since women are always getting emotional and shit. [The Trail]


IRAQ

“Don’t Worry, Girls, We’ll Protect You”

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Real women with gunsThe Ministry of Interior in Iraq has ordered that all the policewomen in Iraq turn in their weapons for redistribution to men or face a withdrawal of their pay. Iraqi police officers, you’ll no doubt recall, are subject to intimidation, harassment, kidnapping and execution regardless of their gender. The women were recruited by the U.S. because of cultural mores that prohibit male officers from searching female suspects and to assist in increasing the reporting of violence against women. All officers are allowed to take their weapons home because of the danger in being a police officer in Iraq except, now, the female officers won’t be able to have any because they’re girls. But, obviously, the male officers will just protect them from violence, the way they already protect all the other women in the country so well. [LA Times]

Newsweek Celebrates America’s Hottest Powerful Women

Monday, October 8th, 2007

newsweekcover.jpgNewsweek salutes Powerful Women! Like Blog-empress Arianna Huffington, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, and, uh, Rachael Ray. All fine examples of modern female leadership! One went from successful pundit/author to head of one of the most influential lefty sites on the internet, one is the first female mayor of Atlanta (and the first black woman to be elected mayor of any major southern city), and one is a busty television personality whose Wikipedia page currently describes her as “this hot ass beautiful, young womens.” Just as Arianna proved that you can marry a gay Republican and still amass political power and influence (on the internet), Rachael Ray proved that you can overcome the adversity of being an attractive woman without any training or ability in cooking and still end up the breakout star of a tv network dedicated ostensibly to the culinary arts.

CONGRESS

Congressional Moms Destroying Both Nation, Own Families

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Did you know that there are ten Congresswomen with little kids?? It’s true! Ten ladies strutting around voting for shit when they should be at home raising their poor children! Just look at the list of shame:

The 10 congresswomen with children under 13: Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) and Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), Heather Wilson (R-N.M.), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.)

The Post tells us all about them today, from how Debbie Wasserman Shultz ignored her deathly ill 8-year-old to gallavant to New York for a fundraiser to how Heather Wilson hates Nancy Pelosi for making her work as much as a real working mother. And their lousy spoiled kids are interrupting Senate business:
