birthdays

Joe Lieberman turned 80- or 90-something years old today. Hooray. And according to the Twitter, his office held a birthday party under the theme, “I’m self-centered.” Big ol’ floppy titty XXX pictures after the jump!

Everyone was very unkind to Bo Obama the dog, who celebrated his first birthday ever on October 9th. So Bo Obama was born last October, and then in April Ted Kennedy, not yet dead, bought the dog from a rescue shelter that was actually a reputable dog breeder and just gave him to Barack Obama. [...]

Former president Bill Clinton gathered together a bunch of his dude friends and celebrated his 63rd birthday in Las Vegas eating steaks cut from the loins of actual angels and topped with a port wine reduction. Guests included rum-soaked popinjay Terry McAuliffe and Steve Bing, that guy who impregnated Liz Hurley once. Clinton’s “real” birthday [...]

Yes, it is Barack Obama’s 48th birthday today — or as he might put it, the ninth anniversary of his 39th birthday, HEY-O! Oh, aging. The point is: SMALL NATIONS, WHAT SHALST THY SACRIFICE? All must give Obama something. Antigua has already set the bar quite high by giving our president his own mountain, the [...]

O Holy Day, look what just dropped in ye olde “Wonkett” tips box! Cougs is back for more: “Will you follow this link to sign the birthday card? There’s even a special space to leave a personal message of encouragement for John. After you’ve signed the card, I hope you’ll make a generous contribution to [...]

Today through Saturday, July 26: A squash blossom is an edible flower, and, as all edible flowers deserve specials festivals, Oyamel is hosting one in the squash blossom’s honor. In celebration, there will be small plates featuring the delectable flower for $8-$14. [Squash Blossom Festival, Oyamel]

George H.W. Bush periodically flings himself out of planes to mark the passing of another depressing half-decade in the twilight years of a disappointed old man whose presidency fell squarely into the “unimpressive” column until his son’s presidency showed us what unimpressive was really all about. What this troubled senior needs is not a squad [...]

Mark it on your Political Holiday Calendar: on May 18 we celebrate the birthday of the conservative heroine Tina Fey, who played Sarah Palin on a couple of pivotal episodes of Saturday Night Live. After those episodes aired, Republicans could never quite forgive Palin for being less hot than her impersonator. And so Barack Obama [...]

You know what we love more than anything, at Wonkette? Birthdays! Love ‘em love ‘em love ‘em. And there’s nothing better than a sixth birthday. Even better than your fifth birthday! So grown up now, and all blown apart, and god knows how many hundreds of thousands of corpses, and we hanged your fuckin’ dad, [...]

MORE THAN EVER should you now regret signing up for Hillary Clinton’s 2007-08 campaign mailing list — which you all did, because you looooove her — because guess who’s hijacked it now? Terry McAuliffe, in his random run for Virginia governor. Curse you Terry!

We pretty much said all we have to say about this asshole yesterday, so today we’ll remember him in pictures. He loved pictures, Reagan did! Especially the moving kind of pictures, the movies! He actually believed movies — including “E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial” — were real events that just happened to be captured on film. He [...]

Oh check it out, Joe Biden had his little birthday office party today, on his birthday, at Obama’s office tower in Chicago. Joe is 66 years old, and also for his birthday he gets to be vice president, which is a fun thing! (He also has to live in that creepy Observatory and hear the [...]

America’s favorite frienemy Decepticon, Vladimir Putin, was given this wild monster, a “tigress cub,” for his 56th birthday. He “was shown stroking the two- month-old tigress at a meeting with Russian journalists at his residence outside Moscow.” Rowr…?? The gift-givers thought it would be hilarious — a great party joke! — given Putin’s tendency to [...]

What the hell, it’s Barack Obama’s BIRFDAY today? He’s turning 25 years old and will celebrate by renting his first car. Above is his Wonkette Birthday Blingee Present. Don’t spend it all in one place etc. Oh, and by the way, our annoying gift is more considerate than the senior campaign staff’s gift, which is [...]

Even though he was just a famous celebrity who never did anything but smoke dope and try to kill Sarah Conner, Arnold Schwarzenegger overcame his popularity and racial background to become California’s favorite governor! Let’s celebrate his life and art, today, on his birthday.
