Go Away, 2005: The Poll

We asked for what you're sick of and now we know: You're sick of it all. You don't want to hear about blame games, the MSM, the nuclear option, activist judges, mission accomplished, up or down votes, Zell Miller, criminalizing politics OR politicizing the war, Christopher Hitchens, Hillary Clinton, do-overs, the same intelligence or Googling monkeys.

As it happens, developing elaborate taxonomies for the things we loathe was the hobby that got us through grad school. So we can't look at this bile-churning list without thinking: Sure, there's a lot to hate, but shouldn't there be some way of organizing it? Thus: "Go Away: The Poll." Starting this week, we'll round up a slew of the words, phrases and people Wonkette readers wish to be banned. Then you can vote on the most loathsome. Fun!

This week: Banned words and phrases, Executive Branch. "Ongoing investigation" is already on there. Send your further suggestions to , please put "Go away" in the subject line. If you want to be nice, include "executive branch," too. But who wants to be nice?

Zell Miller Blows Smoke at Justice Sunday II

Justice Sunday II was apparently a rousing success, reaffirming the already held beliefs of thousands. Among the speakers was duel enthusiast Zell Miller, who offered this evangelical koan regarding the Supreme Court's finding against displaying the Ten Commandments: "How is it that the government thinks we need a no smoking sign by gas pumps to remind us that danger, but not think we need a reminder of the danger of a sinful lifestyle." Just a guess here, Zell, but that might be because adultery does not result in one bursting into flames. Not unless you're fucking really fast.

Wonk'd: Jenna Has Better Taste in Music Than You

While the President's away, Jenna will play. In this special (though non-dry humping) edition of Wonk'd, we present an extended account of one drunk liberal's run-in with the beery blonde in addition to sightings of Novak, McAuliffe [things are slow, aren't they], Clinton, Gannon, Liz Phair sorta, Carville and Matalin, Miller kinda, Nader, Wilson, Gonzales.

A reminder: Because it is August and we are desperate, we are accepting sightings of famous-for-D.C. types even if they are outside of D.C. However, we don't really collect famous-famous sights outside of D.C. (That guy who sent in a thing about running into Keanu Reeves in Chicago? We're just going to assume you're his agent.) Anyhow: Sightings are sent in by readers. Send yours to:

• I know you like to keep up with all things Jenna, so I thought you'd be interested to know that I spotted her last night at the Secret Machines/Kings of Leon show at 9:30 Club. Walking up to the bar, I noticed a pack of 6 really good looking girls who were way over-dressed for the 9:30 Club. One of them looked like Jenna, but I just figured it was just some girl who looked like her. But then one of the other girls walked up to her and said, "hey, JB, you wanna go up by the front of the stage?" I was now convinced it was her.

Jenna sighting continues and other sightings follow after the jump.

I went back and told my friend, who called bullshit on me. So to test whether it was her or not, my genius friend decided he'd walk by her, bump into her, and see if secret security arrested him. He did the walk-by, basically hip checked her, but got no SS reaction. I was still convinced it was her, so I walked by again. I noticed a tall guy dancing behind her. Remembering that Jenna was dating a Wake Forest dude (I also went to Wake), I said to the guy, "Hey, didn't you go to Wake Forest?" He said yeah, and I asked him his name: "Henry Hager". At that point, Jenna butted into our conversation, and I told her that we should go make babies, just to piss off her dad.

OK, I didn't really say anything til later, when there was a lull between songs, and I was about 30 feet away: "Hey Jenna, your father's a douchebag!" in my best loud-as-shit voice. Drunk liberal 1, First Daughter 0.

• Last night at 7:00ish I saw Novakula and the wife arriving at Georgia Browns for dinner. Needless to say, I was shocked to see him before the sun went down. He didn't look particularly crazy, more curmudgeonly than anything, but I played it safe and hid under the table like my mother always told me to do.

• I was sitting in the lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel in Kigali, Rwanda a couple of weeks ago when who should arrive but Bill Clinton? He was here doing some work on HIV/AIDS for the Clinton Foundation. I asked for a picture, he asked my name. He sounded sick and seemed very tired. General impression is that he's still trying to make up for guilt over what he didn't do in 1994 - and still maintaining a friendship with Rwanda's president, despite the latter's rather nasty activities in the DR Congo next door.

• Saw Jeff G. on the Capitol South Metro platform. No hair and a dark blue suit, jacket on his arm. Wasn't quite sure and asked him to strip and assume the faun position. He refused, but I'm pretty sure anyway.

• On Friday at Birchmere, Liz Phair, looking particularly trailer trashy said a friend snuck her in to Sen. Reid’s office for a visit – she mentioned LBJ’s scratched-in initials on the desk. It could definitely be worth asking if there are any pictures of the blow job queen with the Senate minority leader.

• Sorry for the delay but last Monday my wife's family swear they saw James Carville and Mary Matalin walking west on King Street in Old Town near the waterfront. I was enjoying my ice cream cone nearby but inside the store so I can't swear it happened...

• zell miller is always at yard sales in north georgia -  he likes to buy old hats

• I ran into Ralph Nader on the street at 15th and P, NW on July 21.  He was wearing a blue suit, red tie and black Yankees hat.  I got his attention, flipped him the bird and called him an asshole.  The crowd around us clapped as he scurried up into an office building.

• Saw Joe Wilson this morning driving down 16th in his swank convertible. He looked ruddy and pissed off. the man has a mane to be envied. He was in t-shirt and shorts, and had one of those hands-free telemarketer/janet jackson-style phones strapped to his red, hairy head.

• I spotted AG Alberto Gonzalez on 7/22 at the Santa Cruz CA. Beach Boardwalk with his family and the requsite security following 20 paces behind. It was right after Roberts was nominated to the Supreme Court -- I guess the AG realized that this would be a good time to get out of DC for a vacation. The Santa Cruz Boardwalk has been in business for about 100 years and has rides like Double Shot, Climb 'n Conquer, Fright Walk, and the Giant Dipper. I was sure it was the AG, and on Sunday 7/24 I confirmed it when he appeared from a remote in Scott's Valley, CA on the Sunday morning talk shows.
