  • NEW YORK TIMES IS WRONG ABOUT WHATEVER: Your Wonkette editors spent a few minutes this morning coming up with the new standardized spelling of John McCain’s, uh, “sound,” and it is now “HEHNGNN?” But fancy this, the liberal junk-rated New York Times has a new piece up and spells The Sound as, “Henh?” Not only is that… stupid… dumb-looking… but it’s also very Vietnamese-ish, which is sexist to John McCain’s programming operation during his years as a prison hero.

How ’bout that New York Times? HEHNGNN? HEHNGNN?

HEHNGNN?

Just looked this up in Strunk & White, and you guys are correct. Suck it, NYT.

AlexTrebeksGirl October 28, 2008 at 2:42 pm

McCain’s lawyers wrote an outraged letter. It starts with nutface’s favorite word – Hey cunts.

greatgooglymoogly October 28, 2008 at 2:43 pm

Need to go to the source. Batman says it’s spelled “Hnnnnggh.” Jokers says its spelled “Hehhnnn.” But the Penguin agrees with Wonkette. QED. Case closed.

mattbolt October 28, 2008 at 2:43 pm

I dunno about this version, I gotta say! The N before the G is just too much wheezy grunt, it’s too unstable!

MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend October 28, 2008 at 2:43 pm

So, do we use the NYT as toilet paper in the tank?

AngryBlakGuy October 28, 2008 at 2:43 pm

…well I was spelling it “HEH!”

For all of you with dirty minds, check this out (via Kos)

Gov. Palin, to Fox’s SEAN HANNITY on “Hannity & Colmes”: “I think it’s very close, and I think there is a lot of enthusiasm. … John and I have both been in that underdog position over and over again. And you know what? I, in my career, happen to take on the good old boy network more than once. Having the scars to prove it. Being in the underdog position, it motivates us. Makes us work harder. And I believe that yes, the wisdom of the people will prevail on Nov. 4.”

Lionel Hutz Esq. October 28, 2008 at 2:48 pm

Can’t we all get along? Take a cue from Matt Groening, and simply write [Penguin grunt] whenever McCain makes his sound.

districtsleeps October 28, 2008 at 2:48 pm

I think it needs to end in -GH. All-caps is definitely the right move, though.

Palin has a condition called DENIAL, but she dont mind losin, the wingnuts love her, mainly because they are as retarded as she is.Actually thats an insult to retards, sorry retards if i offended anybody. She doesnt get it and not does she not get it her and walnuts cant sell it(hat tip:michael douglas)

My favoritist new Jammakaine speech thing is when he makes fun of Obama’s nucular energy position, saying that Obama says he’s for it one minute, then is all cautious and “talking about safety, blah, blah, blah.”

“…. Being in the underdog position, it motivates us”

Underdog position? Is that the same thing as doggy style? I always saw Gov. Palin as the reverse cowgirl type. Go figure.

If Barry wins on the 4th., do I get to beat up Sean Hannity in the public? I’m thinking…the Great Lawn in Central Park. That way, everyone can bring snacks and beer. And weed.

BobLoblawLawBlog October 28, 2008 at 2:57 pm

This directly preceded their spelling abortion: “You getting and idea of what’s on their mind?’’ Clearly, these a-holes are too elitist for copy editing.

Texan Bulldoggette October 28, 2008 at 2:58 pm

“no one will delay the World Series game with an infomercial when I’m president!” Ummm….that’s because you’re never going to be president, Walnuts. So, technically, you are correct.

Also Walnuts better lay off of Barry. President Obama may demote Walnuts to greeter at the Capitol souvenir shop.

The correct spelling is HEHNGHH. There’s a clear “h” aspiration at the end of it. The “n” at the end of it is Penguin from Batman. Get your loser villians right, Wonektte!

“My friends, I have been tested. Senator Obama hasn’t.” I am sick of this argument. Yes, you were tested during the financial crisis and you acted like a nutcase.

norbizness October 28, 2008 at 3:24 pm

That sounds like somebody in bathroom stall death throes.

Trivia on another non-word expression: Homer Simpson’s “D’oh” was originally written as “(annoyed grunt)” in the scripts; Dan Castellanata improvised the sound as a riff on early character actor James Finlayson’s similar sound (in this clip at about 4:14).

Worlds End October 28, 2008 at 3:25 pm

Dreamer, J05H, Magic Titty: When he says “tested” he means, y’know . . . TESTED. “I went and got TESTED today.” Like that. Let’s not hold our breath waiting to see the results, though, since we haven’t been allowed to see any of the others.

tootsieroll October 28, 2008 at 4:24 pm

God, never mind moving to Canada if Obama loses… if he wins there’s gonna be fucking anarchy.

I’m only half kidding. That guy with the “He’s not my president”… Bitter gun owners indeed.

Actually you know what that video made me think of, stupidly enough, Romeo and Juliet with their families’ bitter feud. So does that mean Sarah’s gonna drink the vial of poison, but McCain doesn’t warn Obama first, and he stabs himself with a butter knife which Biden then uses to after carve a backwards B on her face?

Miller October 28, 2008 at 4:44 pm

‘HEHNGNN’ doesn’t really capture the essence of what’s happening: the last vestiges of his dignity are escaping through his open mouth as he tries to laugh about the shambles his campaign is in. It’s a complex onomatopoeia.

Obviously, the only way to solve this is for some enterprising soul to put together a video of HEHNGHH clips, so we can review and make an objective decision.
