JIM NEWELL HAZ NOT A SOUL.

The Wall-E response was simply DELICIOUS, however.

cal December 16, 2008 at 2:53 pm

“the terrible nymph that captured Odysseus”

Oh, Jim. Why do you hate nymphs?

Scarab December 16, 2008 at 2:54 pm

It’s Trainsexual.
You’re referring to Joe Biden, right?

Borat December 16, 2008 at 2:59 pm

Is Calypso a Sven Van Hees song? Just curious

SayItWithWookies December 16, 2008 at 3:00 pm

FishbowlDC interview composed of half-assed A or B party questions, or stuck for two hours in an elevator with Kathryn Jean Lopez?

Transvestites vs Transvesmites: which ones grow out of the cave ceiling, and which from the floor?

TGY December 16, 2008 at 3:03 pm

We use this word frequently on Wonkette

Speaking as a curious, mathematically-inclined gigolo, a word frequency count of Wonkette might be interesting. Or not.

And perhaps that’s ‘mathematically-reclined’.

Lascauxcaveman December 16, 2008 at 3:04 pm

Ha. I share a ringtone with our Jimmy. (And that’s about it, except for my fawning love for various New Yorker writers.) I keep that ringer cranked up LOUD because I’m hard of hearing and usually have my iPod buds in place, to make me even deafer. Each time I get a call, it sounds like Calypso bomb going off in my pocket. Scares the hell out people next to me in the checkout line at Safeway.

shortsshortsshorts December 16, 2008 at 3:06 pm

[re=200246]choinski[/re]: WIN.

Trollop December 16, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Is Jim’s next step going to be a sit-down with Campbell Brown, at 8 p.m. on CNN? Or has it happened already? I wouldn’t know b/c I still don’t watch the show, but if it happens, I’ll keep an eye out for the YouTubez clip here.

snideinplainsight December 16, 2008 at 3:10 pm

Jim, Jim, would you mail me something, anything, please?

Because then I would have a newell post! HA!

HA!!!!1 HA!!!!1

actor212 December 16, 2008 at 3:15 pm

The extra “s” is for “savings!”

WIDTAP December 16, 2008 at 3:15 pm

[re=200264]Trollop[/re]: Of course. Didn’t you read the article where Jim refers to “speechless robot / drone love”. That’s a summary of the whole interview right there.

problemwithcaring December 16, 2008 at 3:17 pm

“I’m out of annoying answers that evade the question. Just boxers.”

An annoying and pointless internet version of the Frost/Nixon interview.

TGY December 16, 2008 at 3:18 pm

Also, Wonkette: Campbell Brown-nosers!

Delicious December 16, 2008 at 3:20 pm

That was painful to read.

shortsshortsshorts December 16, 2008 at 3:22 pm

With Jim Newell on the devil’s shoulder and SKS on the Angel’s side, Ken Layne makes informed decisions on what horse to bet on.

Jim Newell December 16, 2008 at 3:24 pm

what a douchebag.

shortsshortsshorts December 16, 2008 at 3:25 pm

[re=200294]Jim Newell[/re]: hahaha you hate yourself.

Dramatist December 16, 2008 at 3:27 pm

[re=200243]SayItWithWookies[/re]: That’s ridiculous. Both you and I know that there is not room for both her and another human being on your standard sized elevator.

Doglessliberal December 16, 2008 at 3:27 pm

[re=200253]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: I have the same NYer writer thing. Roger Angell on baseball is just too good, (and yes, the OH voters piece was incredible), their medical stories are always good (a recent one about psychopaths was great, though it did not mention Dick Cheney as an example), and their movie reviews, all of them, are so delightfully nasty I love to read them even when I disagree.

I am “trill” ringtone on the iPhone, though, so I am neither Jim nor a transsexual.

I did not see WALL-E, either, so no robot love for me, though I did see Milk, so I saw some gay love, and highly recommend it.

ManchuCandidate December 16, 2008 at 3:28 pm

Jim an Orioles fan? With Tampa Bay doing so well and them Yank-mees and BoTards always there, it means that it will be a fierce monkey knife fight for 4th in the AL East between my chronically underfunded Jays and your Woe-rioles.

Doglessliberal December 16, 2008 at 3:28 pm

[re=200294]Jim Newell[/re]: Well, I would like to note in your defense, that no one, NO one, sounds good in those type of interviews, except maybe George Clooney.

Dramatist December 16, 2008 at 3:29 pm

I think the extra S is necessary, as representative of the extras in/on the person in question.

Naked Bunny with a Whip December 16, 2008 at 3:29 pm

Next question: “furries” or “furies”? Join Jim Newell on Second Life to discuss it during pixelsex.

Dramatist December 16, 2008 at 3:30 pm

[re=200301]Doglessliberal[/re]: But even then he can’t shut up about friggin’ Darfur, or Transsexuals.

Naked Bunny with a Whip December 16, 2008 at 3:31 pm

and highly recommend it.

That goes without saying, but should I see the movie?

Dramatist December 16, 2008 at 3:33 pm

[re=200307]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: Only for the handjob you’ll get from the bear sitting next to you.

Josh Fruhlinger December 16, 2008 at 3:36 pm

I like how they left the “Where do you volunteer?” question in there with no answer after it, to emphasize Jim’s failure to help his fellow human beings (except by blogging about gay Republicans and Truck Nutz).

sanantonerose December 16, 2008 at 3:39 pm

I think the spelling can go either way, but the for the sake of sexual continuity, once you make up your mind, stick to it.

Serolf Divad December 16, 2008 at 3:40 pm


Q: Did you cry when Obama won?
A: No.
Q: When was the last time you cried?
A: Probably when watching Wall-E.

Anyone who thinks he’s a jaded cynic needs to memorize the above conversation, study it, learn it. That’s what a true jaded cynic sounds like, not like you effete Starbucks sipping pretend cynics who deep down inside really do care.

Doglessliberal December 16, 2008 at 3:40 pm

[re=200306]Dramatist[/re]: he would be a pretty transsexual, I bet.

Jim, are those patches on your jacket’s elbows? Christ, before long you’ll be smoking a pipe. Also, all those messages that were sent from my email address are not from me. Please delete.

saridout December 16, 2008 at 3:50 pm

it’s spelled with two S’s: Transsexual.

snideinplainsight December 16, 2008 at 3:51 pm

I blame furriess.

Cedar December 16, 2008 at 3:53 pm

Did you seriously graduate HS in 2003?

Doglessliberal December 16, 2008 at 3:53 pm

[re=200323]Dramatist[/re]: holy shit. Not good.

Men just look better with some miles on them.

johnbpt December 16, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Wait, who’s saying that Campbell Brown is a tran/s/sexual? Name your source!

facehead December 16, 2008 at 3:57 pm

When it comes to Jim Newell, I’m pro-life.

I’d feel more comfortable if I knew Campbell Brown was a lesbian.

Is she getting hotter, or is it just me? If our CNN overlords are reading this, I just want them to know: I’d blingee dat.

Dramatist December 16, 2008 at 4:02 pm

Campbell Brown over here on the sidebar is like a haunted portrait whose eyes follow you when you move. She’s making me gay.

NoWireHangers December 16, 2008 at 4:06 pm

I wanted to add Truck Nutz but then I accidentally saved and didn’t know how to go back. And I really should get back to work and stuff…

BEHOLD!

Dramatist December 16, 2008 at 4:06 pm

[re=200337]Doglessliberal[/re]: I think him looking like that is what made Jo a Lesbian. And made Blair crazy. And caused Natalie to exhume and have sex with all those dead bodies. And what made Tootie spontaneously combust.

WadISay December 16, 2008 at 4:10 pm

So, in the Wonkette Manual of Style, is sex with more than one butt “buttsexes” or “buttssex”?

1977ub@gmail.com December 16, 2008 at 4:11 pm

I’m somewhat confused, Jim. I always thought you looked more like Campbell Brown.

1977ub@gmail.com December 16, 2008 at 4:12 pm

All your gases are belong to us. Buses too.

OffTheRecord December 16, 2008 at 4:15 pm

[re=200357]NoWireHangers[/re]: So much win. Is there somewhere I can vote for you as blingee artist of the year?

facehead December 16, 2008 at 4:17 pm

[re=200357]NoWireHangers[/re]:
Jim Newell’s street cred just skyrocketed; do you do weddings?

blackdontcrack December 16, 2008 at 4:46 pm

he looks short but id probably hit it. how tall is jim newell?

shortsshortsshorts December 16, 2008 at 4:52 pm

[re=200414]blackdontcrack[/re]: Jim Newell could 9 feet tall. He lift 5 Sequoia trees with his cock, could climb any tree in the forest and once cut off a mans head with his eyes.
DISCLAIMER: I MAY BE TALKING ABOUT PAUL BUNION.

NoWireHangers December 16, 2008 at 4:53 pm

[re=200375]OffTheRecord[/re]: Probably, but I’m too old to know how to use the website effectively.
[re=200378]facehead[/re]: I usually just ruin weddings, but if you pay me in booze I’m sure we can work something out.

Mahousu December 16, 2008 at 4:58 pm

Next question: “furries” or “furies”?
No question at all on this one: Definitely, Furies

PoliticalGraffiti December 16, 2008 at 5:04 pm

jim is a ginger? i would have never guessed

2druk2phluq December 16, 2008 at 5:46 pm

At least we know how to spell humorsexual. That’s the funny gays. [Don't call them "the gays" to their faces. You run the risk of being snapped three times.]

Panderfinder December 16, 2008 at 6:35 pm

why is campbell brown and her accessories floating all over this page?

I hope it makes Wonkette rich, or at least solvent.

choinski December 16, 2008 at 6:47 pm

[re=200426]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: How could you tell how big Paul Bunyon’s cock was? Oh wait, you were standing on it. Actually, you pitched a tent on it when establishing base camp.

PS Speaking of Giants, Campbell Brown is still there, dominating my browser.

Mahousu December 16, 2008 at 7:25 pm

[re=200526]choinski[/re]: Actually, you pitched a tent on it …

Paul Bunyon’s cock is perfectly capable of pitching its own tents, thank you very much.

Lascauxcaveman December 17, 2008 at 12:45 am

[re=200297]Doglessliberal[/re]: I’ll go along w/Roger+Baseball, but I’m an old EB White fan, so I feel I’ve known the kid since 1930, even though I was born several generations later. I think my Grandma may have be boinking Harold Ross back then or something (could explain my affinity for gin), because she was in NY at the time and she was an avid subscriber to the New Yorker up until they started slagging on Ronald Reagan, about the same time grandma’s alzheimer’s hit full stride, mid 1980′s.

The Ohio voters piece left me cold, however. Somehow I anticipated every major point as I read it. Maybe its the Wonkette in me, but in my eyes, the whole thing can be boiled down into “Bitterz is too stoopid to vote in favor of their own welfare esp if it involves niggerz.”

That (Ian Frazier?) thing about the writer’s workshop at the soup kitchen church in NY a few months back floored me however. I will force my daughters, who are Catholic and also aspire to be Christians, to read it and discuss it at the dinner table. Good bedtime story.

Lionel Hutz Esq. December 17, 2008 at 12:49 am

Dear God, I get busy for a few days, limit my postings and look what happens to this place.

It is spelled “Coulter.”

That is all.

Gary__Cooper December 17, 2008 at 2:01 pm

EB White and Paul Bunyan on the same post?

Well it’s nice to know there
are some EB White and Paul Bunyan fans out there.

Out here.

Out somewhere.
