Letterman is awesome!

Fisher Price glasses. I don’t care HOW much they cost.

Special Agent Jack Mehoff November 19, 2008 at 5:32 pm

What the fuck is this? Is it “incredibly unattractive woman day” at the wonkettes?

Blue Line November 19, 2008 at 5:33 pm

I actually think his picture on the front page of CNN looks disturbingly like a younger Hugh Hefner.

Violenza November 19, 2008 at 5:35 pm

I gotta say, I really like his glasses and I wish all the spec jealousy would cease and DESIST.

The Lucky Republican November 19, 2008 at 5:37 pm

Need help!!! I’m trying to remember . . .

Jerry Springer’s show had people come on to disclose their infidelities to their significant other.

Jenny Jones’ show had people come on to get makeovers and surprise(!) or taunt(?) people who had previously made fun of them.

Maury Povich’s show had bad parents come on with their children. The children would then be sent to boot camp.

Ricki Lake’s show had large women come on and participate in a “fashion show” followed by a “B” celebrity performance.

I can’t, for the life of me, remember what Sally Jesse’s show was about?

S.Luggo November 19, 2008 at 5:39 pm

I’d know you anywhere, Larry Craig.

[re=181561]Violenza[/re]: LEAVE DASCHLE ALOOOOOOONE!!!!

Monkey November 19, 2008 at 5:46 pm

Hmm. She looks much better as a man

Miller November 19, 2008 at 5:46 pm

I severely doubt that anyone with the capability of choosing to wear those glasses out in public has the capacity to design a proper health care plan.

Was the second photo of Daschle at Drag Bingo? His make-up is really crappy

shortsshortsshorts November 19, 2008 at 5:48 pm

I’m telling you hipsters wear the same glasses, it’s HORRIFYING.

metropolitan November 19, 2008 at 5:52 pm

damn, back in the day daschle was quite a hottie (for washington that is). he used to look like a combination han solo with steve mcqueen.
now he looks like david letterman in sarah palin drag.

Monkey November 19, 2008 at 5:54 pm

Why does wonkette hate elephantitists

The Pumpernickel November 19, 2008 at 5:55 pm

Or he could just be German or Norwegian or something. They wear glasses like that. Grandma fashion = uber chic.

Gorilla in heaven, what the hell happened to Sally Jesse?

El Bombastico November 19, 2008 at 6:11 pm

[re=181606]Cape Clod[/re]: She had her face replaced with Silly Putty. Only explanation.

messickc (ROLL TIDE!) November 19, 2008 at 6:14 pm

Has Sally Jesse had a stroke? Her left face looks angrily droopy, but the right side looks… content?

what tha? November 19, 2008 at 6:15 pm

Is Bob Hope back from the dead? The hair threw me for a second, but, yep, it’s him!

messickc (ROLL TIDE!) November 19, 2008 at 6:16 pm

[re=181630]messickc (ROLL TIDE!)[/re]: Or could she only afford a half of a face lift?

CankleBiter November 19, 2008 at 6:17 pm

[re=181583]Miller[/re]: I will not give you the satisfaction of reading your supposed blog until you add Wonkette to your “Buggery” or “Wankerey” since you advertise on Mr. Laynes dime all day long.

messickc (ROLL TIDE!) November 19, 2008 at 6:25 pm

I wanna see “Where I’m Wearing” but all I get is a clear gif image when I click the ad. Also.

loquaciousmusic November 19, 2008 at 6:25 pm

True story: my dad went to college with Sally Jesse Raphael. Then, in the 1980s, he was on Sally Jesse Raphael. (He had just written a book—he wasn’t, like, banging his cousin’s sister’s fiancée.)

You are now TWO DEGREES OF SEPARATION from Sally Jesse, people. Savor the moment.

itgetter November 19, 2008 at 6:32 pm

[re=181606]Cape Clod[/re]: Excellent exclamation!

avatard November 19, 2008 at 6:37 pm

Harry Potter called and wants his glasses back…

psychedelicSludge November 19, 2008 at 6:37 pm

She almost clawed Amy Goodman’s eyes out once, right? Or was that Tom Daschle?

slinkimalinki November 19, 2008 at 6:42 pm

[re=181563]The Lucky Republican[/re]: sally jesse exposed infidelities twice a week, did makeovers once a week, and spent the rest of the time sending troubled teens to THUNDERTEEN!!!!11!! boot camps. leastaways, that’s how i remember it.

psychedelicSludge November 19, 2008 at 6:52 pm

So in the Great Mupper Caper, there’s this recurring joke that Fozzie and Kermit look alike. And there’s the wonderful scene where Kermit is sitting in the park and a father and daughter walk by. The daughter says “look Dad, there’s a bear!” and her father says “No Christine, that’s a frog … bears wear hats” Wow. and now thanks to google, I now know that she died. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0625242/bio

S.Luggo November 19, 2008 at 6:59 pm

[re=181664]psychedelicSludge[/re]: Suddenly I feel all Fozzie inside.

Pat Pending November 19, 2008 at 7:02 pm

Oh, Sally Jesse, the plastic surgery… not so much.

Scooter November 19, 2008 at 7:53 pm

Mustang Sally, you better slow that face droop down . . .

Good gawd, she’s even uglier than before! [I'm talkin' 'bout the inside too.]

President X November 19, 2008 at 8:20 pm

As head of Health and Humane Services, former teevee senator and rap artiste Miss Sally “Tom” Dashbonnet knows just how important is one’s sexuality and wardrobe to healthy living in the US and A.

(S)He has the mysterious knack of switch hitting back and forth between the butch suit look and the more demure and demonstrably chatty, rosy-cheeked high gloss personality that is so winning inside The Beltway.

Everyone’s raving about the new Vice President’s pick of Sally Jelly Tom and Dasher to the antique cabinet in the off-White House. Yay!!!

Grimnir November 19, 2008 at 8:28 pm

[re=181556]Special Agent Jack Mehoff[/re]: Can we take a vote to not have that day. That day is every day in DC…

rocktonsammy November 19, 2008 at 9:29 pm

I just got a pair of red rimmed glasses, I think I look much more intelligence.

It’s like you read my mind.

Clearly this is a pander attempt directed towards the liberal hipster demographic. What’s next, NoBama Hussein addressing the nation in trucker hat and ironic T-shirt?

CuntryFirst November 19, 2008 at 10:02 pm

Is it just me or does Sally look like Walnuts?

S.Luggo November 19, 2008 at 10:11 pm

Sally Jesse was a guest on the “Not My Job” segment of the National Proletariat Revanchism socialist radio program, “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.” She was a pisser. Which doesn’t excuse her usual TV fare, e.g., “Doggie Love, a Need for New Federal Legislation?”

Didn’t some gay one get killed on her show?

Ted Perino November 19, 2008 at 11:26 pm

I just saw Mitch McConnell on the television thingy. A wig. Red glasses. I think that such things might come easily to him.

null November 19, 2008 at 11:39 pm

Frig. Beer goggles are no defense.

S.Luggo November 19, 2008 at 11:50 pm

[re=181747]102415[/re]: No. Larry Craig alive and still tapping.

elZaphod November 20, 2008 at 12:04 am

Are we SURE that’s not Dustin Hoffman on the right?

hamletta November 20, 2008 at 12:54 am

Y’all will never understand my TommyLove.

He will get us all health care—with lollipops!

DoctorCulturae November 20, 2008 at 12:56 am

No, no, no. The pix on the right is Lieberman, so he can go to the store in CT to buy his next serving of crow.

BigBrainOnBrad November 20, 2008 at 7:50 am

Is that really Sally or is it Terry Garr on the set of “Ghost World”?

Terry November 20, 2008 at 8:13 am

Why can’t these women age gracefully? Look at Judy Dench and Helen Mirren. Both aging naturally and they look great.

kenskids November 20, 2008 at 10:09 am

[re=181850]BigBrainOnBrad[/re]: I’m pretty certain it’s the Lady in the Radiator from “Eraserhead.”
