Politico.com Wonkette's Ken Layne says that half-jokingly. He points out that "nobody would tolerate if, at the end of 'Meet the Press,' if a bunch of weirdos stormed the studio and started screaming weird racist stuff. Theyd call the police." Daniel Libit notes: "Websites ranging from the smallest of blogs straight through to the New York Times are struggling to discourage spammers and bomb-throwers...

Y'all know I rarely, if ever, bottom-feed and post this kinda thing, but this is just too good to pass up. I picked up this exchange from the LA Times . . .Wonkette, in its own way, expresses exhaustion at the thought of another Edwards story: The important question is not “Why is John Edwards cheating on his wife who had cancer?” We know that answer: He’s a Democratic politician. They have

In the course of an otherwise pedestrian article about whatever do blog comments sections mean, we encounter this from Wonkette's editor: Layne, though, isn’t sure news outlets will keep giving them a forum to talk to one another: “I think...

Just when former Senator Allen thought it was safe to leave the house, Wonkette reports a sighting of a car with a VA license plate reading MCACAS. Of course, a photo like this is just begging for a caption. Also, feel free to speculate as to whose car this is and how it ended up with such a vanity license plate. Do you think this is the Macamobile of S.R. Sidhartha himself, with its patriotic bumper...

That in yesterdays (or was it Sunday's') paper, an article about the fact that Dean was coming to town was entitled, "Dean Screams into Town." I couldn't help thinking that was a little over-the-top for a serious newspaper. I'd figure it for Wonkette, but a newspaper that purports to be objective? Not so much.

You’ve gotta love Wonkette: Re Obama’s trip to Germany: According to Politico, it is “a symbol of Prussian military dominance in the 19th century.” Barack Obama will spread his message of hope and peace from atop a giant War Dildo.

Wonkette is having a gay old time making fun of the giant obelisk in the center of Berlin’s Tiergarten where Barack Obama will give his speech. But wait, there’s more than just penis jokes to be made! The Siegessaeule is also the name of the gay magazine in Berlin and has become a symbol of the [...]

Wonkette: The D.C. Gossip -- Greatest Ever New Yorker Cover What would a New Yorker cover featuring all of the nasty myths about John McCain look like? a jaunty young John, in his pilot uniform, sitting comfortably and chatting with his Vietnamese captors. Two gorgeous gals serve his every wish. He is smoking a cigar and drinking a martini. In the next room other POWs are being intensively interrogated....

He finally checked his blog and, yes, deleted the Obama/Osama post. Without explanation, apology, or comment. By way of reminder, prior to the deletion and the loss of all his new Wonkette-referred commenter friends, it looked like this:

Senator Bryant’s now getting national attention thanks to Wonkette’s picking up the Obama/Osama post, with this introduction: Oh Lordy be. Whenever there’s a slow news cycle, we need only look to our friends in South Carolina for a little pick-me-up. Here’s a bit of hilarity from State Senator Kevin Bryant . . . Wonkette then links to [...]

Pretty hilarious. I heard the other night that these guys were on Larry King or something talking about doing a FOIA and getting the goods on just what that spacecraft was around Erath County, Stephenville. Here's Wonkette. And here's the
