I, for one, am glad that GIANT CAMPBELL BROWN has given so much $ to provide me with a forum to discuss assfucking, politics and trucknutz.
CAMPBELL BROWN SMASH!!
YAH! The giant Campbell Brown with her airbrushed nipped in waist! It makes me want to throw a shoe!
My god, it’s a coup! The horror of political machinations and the gnashing of teeth and tearing clothes!!! The sanctity of the PM is sacred! Won’t some one please think of the… Huh?
Oh right. Somalia. I thought this was going to be another thread about Canada City. Must put earnestness away.

Oh, quit your complaining about Campbell Brown. This isn’t some fantasy land where people can select their advertisers. These are TROUBLED TIMES. Since every other website I read is folding or cutting writers, I am glad my Wonkette is still OK, thanks to the $$ of a pretty lady.
Oh, lookie! If you scroll around a little you can line up the horizontal CAMPBELL BROWN banner right between the upper right CAMPBELL BROWN banner and the giant screen-eating CAMPBELL BROWN. WHEEEEE!
I’m still holding out for a somewhat naughtier image of GIANT CAMPBELL BROWN. I am entirely willing to compromise my values for “No Bias, No Bull, No Bra.”
It could be worse: Wolf Blitzer in The Saturation Room.

You must me a management type! So smart.
I call on Hussein Barak Obama to pardon this journalist on Jan 20th.
BE. Dumbass.
Me not smart.
The Washingtonpost also has a full page Campbell ad- but because of the photo on the next page- she looks like she has a large scar on her right cheek(face)
I for one am SHOCKED to learn that Somalia actually has a President, Prime Minister or a Parliament.
Still no word on Wonkette about Madoff, the Katarina of Palm Beach.
Am I the only one who wishes the Shoe Chucker had 3 or 4 legs?
It would be even better if CNN could develop some eco-driving like game involving Cambell Brown. That was brilliant and Wonkette would win that again.
Or, a Dubya shoe ducking game, which Wonkette would come into last place.
Throw Campbell Brown at W?
No Bias. No..BULLSEYE!
Whoa! Campbell Brown is big enough to date.
On another note, the shoe throwing has that delicious inference of an Islamic insult.
Yes, Monsieur Grumpe’I wish the guy had been a millipede.
A White House spokeswoman, Dana M. Perino, said Sunday…
Dana, “A White House spokeswoman”?!?! WTF?!?! She’s the damned WH press secretary! Looks like someone just graduated from journalism school.
Blagojevich as the new PM of Somalia! All problems solved!
[re=198485]Kingbee[/re]: Mebee. I’m promoting the idea of Blago as ambassador to Zimbabwe.
I honor Borat’s idea of a Wonkette/CNN/Campbell Brown game. WIN/WIN/WIN
i find if very disturbing that the white box that i’m supposed to type my comments into slides up and covers Campell Brown’s face when I go to type. Does this mean she can’t hear my plea for more bias and more bull at CNN?
Sorry, I love the floating Campbell Brown. It reminds me of my bedroom ceiling.
Wall Street Fat Cats will be able to stay fat, thanks to executive pay loopholes in bailout provisions.
Color me unsurprised.
The Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush got thrown in jail.
Will they throw the book at him?
“No bias. No bull.” Surely we can come up with a more intriguing slogan to attend our beautiful Campbell Brown.
Lo! Albino Buns!
O, Ball Bunions!
Lanolin Bob Us!
La Nubbin — Solo!
Ulnas Bob Loin?
Snub a Lob Loin?
Bi-Ball? Noon? Us?
I’m a big fan of bias and bull. That’s why I come to Wonkette. I only turn to CNN if I want to know who the latest white woman who disappeared into the woods is.
I’m not a big fan of crazy wallpaper or its hangers.
People are misconstruing the shoe-throwing incident. He was really screaming: “this is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, DAWG!” It was a friendly gesture.

I’m only typing this for the momentary relief.
According to Henry “Ass Kicker” Paulson, Somalia’s fired prime minister will now fall under the executive pay restrictions of Treasury’s bailout program. But Wall Street bankers not so much.
Sorry Tymoshenko is much cooler here:

Have they executed the shoe thrower yet?
