2008

Here is Katie Couric running through a script about Sarah Palin the day John McCain picked her as his running mate and—OH NO—she says the same thing about Sarah Palin’s children that has been said by every person ever. Why does she hate Trig so much? Stop making fun of him, Katie! See, she hates [...]

The Federal Election Commission has ordered Joe Biden’s 2008 presidential campaign (ha!) to pay $219,000 back to the government after finding good ol’ Joe made some record-keeping errors, used someone’s charter plane without paying as much as he should have for it, and somehow raised too much money from some people. Yes, the campaign that [...]

How did a humble self-published author from India invent Barack Obama and the 2008 presidential election? He wrote a novel called First Lady President about “Beverly Hilton and an African American man named Charak Sudama a senator from Illinois as serious rival candidates in democratic party, later only to join as the presidential and vice-presidential [...]

The exact opposite person of dimwit scam-artist Sarah Palin is the very talented writer, comic and actress person Tina Fey. Somehow, it was fated that Tina Fey would — when the nation needed it most — perform comedy impersonations of the dimwit scam-artist Sarah Palin. Fey was also head writer on Saturday Night Live during [...]

All Sarah Palin ever wanted to be in her whole life was a teevee host. This is Documented Fact, and the whole “politics” thing simply grew out of her failure to get a full-time spot on the local news in Anchorage. It didn’t work out, of course, because Sarah Palin was too dumb and untalented [...]

You know what your Wonkette was doing one year ago, exactly? We were in St. Paul, watching the first of Sarah Palin’s national scandals unfold. So fun! Plus, there was a hurricane, to kill more poor and/or black people (it missed, which is how Obama got elected). And it was a year ago tonight that [...]

Here’s some funny-in-retrospect advice to Hillary Clinton from Sarah Palin! She was at some conference thing in March 2008, five months away from McCain’s doomed decision to make her his running mate, when Karen Breslau of Newsweek asked her about Hillary getting beat up in the primary battle against Obama.

One year ago yesterday minus a day, John McCain delivered the speech of the century to a small smattering of embittered retirees haunting an abandoned Bingo hall in Louisiana. Meanwhile, a young upstart Muslin named Hussein “Barack” Obama cast a sorcerer’s spell over a large crowd of innocents in St. Paul and told them that [...]

Mexican-hating hill troll Tom Tancredo vanished from America the day Barack Obama became the black president with two mommies (Hawaii and Kansas).

There has apparently been a raging mystery over the source of the SERIOUS Barack Obama photo in that HOPE poster we’ve all seen so many times that the only logical reaction, now, is to give the same Soviety red-blue Socialist Realism treatment to, uh, Bill Kristol. But the mystery is now solved! Turns out a [...]

WONKETTE COMPLETELY ENDORSES THIS 50 WORST MONSTERS LIST: The Buffalo Beast is known for these crushing obituaries of terrible living Americans, and the 2009 edition is built to please/enrage. The 50th, least offensive spot is reserved for your own pretend boyfriend, Barack Obama. Why? To give the list integrity. Anyway, go read this thing, and [...]

Despite the best (?) efforts of PUMA and the Bigfoot Murderer, Congress counted up Nate Silver’s mysterious 538 electoral votes today and guess what? Barack Obama got a whole lot of those votes — 365 over old what’s-his-name’s 173 — and Dick Cheney says that makes Barack Obama the president of the U.S.A., hooray! Why [...]

Here’s a heartbreaking interview with a prisoner at Gitmo, about how the terrorist Hussein did a fascist thing to these seven weird ladies. COMMENTER CHALLENGE: Are you funny enough to avoid the really obvious, mean/tragic joke here and somehow transcend basic fat jokes? [YouTube via Hart88]

Eh, enough blogging for 2008. We leave you with this important image of demonic archpundit Andrew Sullivan in hobo rags at Subway, blogging about Obama as hatchlings dance the devil’s tango in a parallel dimension, THE END.

How many half-assed Sarah Palin costumes did you see last Halloween? Let’s remember all the dumb crap from 2008, in pictures, including this beautiful office shot by Miz Ginevra.
