Oh yeah here is that clip you have already seen a million times, probably. It features RNC death-bomb Michael Steele talking about how Rush Limbaugh fell for Steele’s cagey ploy of saying retardimanated things to expose who his real friends are (hint: not Rush Limbaugh). [via TPM]

Everybody was so excited when what’s his name, Atlantic child wonder Ross Douthat, got Bill Kristol’s spot in the New York Times. We’re still kind of angry about the NYT taking away one of our easiest weekly comedy bits, so no hurrahs from your Wonkette. Also, this Ross Douthat does seem to be that most [...]

Aww, Michelle Obama went to help out at a soup kitchen for homeless people on Thursday! And while she was there, the AP took a photo of this guy taking a cellphone photo of Michelle’s very famous arms. So now America’s conservative pundits are very upset that this supposedly homeless man has a telephone, so [...]

A ha ha ha, we had to do a Google search to make sure nobody had put that crack in a headline yet. So anyway yes, Michael Steele spoke ill of Rush Limbaugh on late-night television, and then Rush Limbaugh said mean things about Michael Steele on the radio, and then Steele had to apologize [...]

Here’s celebrated pundit Tucker Carlson addressing CPAC, fresh after scoring some coke from his dealer under the St. Alban’s lacrosse field bleachers. He tries to convince the stingy crowd that the New York Times, for all its faults, still strives for accuracy and tries to break the major, important stories. He is roundly booed, heckled, [...]

We met our Boston buddy Garrett Quinn at the Republican convention in St. Paul last summer — he was a Ron Paul delegate, for reals! But politics could not get in the way of our mutual love of Guinness and Jameson, which is why young master Quinn is covering CPAC for your Wonkette! We’ve just [...]

This is an actual panel, being held today, at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. There are no words. [CPAC 2009]

Ronald Reagan is still alive and breathing and administrating, if nowhere but in the minds of desperate conservatives. Even young conservatives have Reagan Creationism Syndrome, and will be exhibiting the symptoms of it en masse at Reaganpalooza, a celebration of the “the man, the legend” at the Hawk and Dove on Saturday, February 28th.

THE FULL LIST OF THE BEST CONSERVATIVE MOVIES OF THE LAST 25 YEARS: We’re giving up on writing about the rest of the National Review‘s entries to “The Best Conservative Movies of the Last 25 Years,” because enough with them right? We covered through #8, and The Corner has posted entries through #6. They force [...]

Kathleen Parker is one of the many conservative columnists who was run out of Crazy Town by wrathful yokels brandishing pitchforks and shouting “NOBAMA” when she dared venture the opinion that Barack Obama was a smart man while John McCain had sold his withered “soul” to the toothless wingnut contingent of the Republican party. Parker [...]

Republicans have made the only conclusion possible about their party following the electoral repudiation of an ancient war hero who ran on the “not a Negro” platform and chose as his running mate a proud religious nutjob ignoramus with a bubble of methane where her brain should be: they have decided their party keeps losing [...]

Certain annoying parts of the Internet have been concerned with one topic exclusively this week, and it’s Rush Limbaugh. “Good for them.” Something about how he ranted about the fecklessness of the Republican minority leadership in Congress, and Obama told the Republicans to ignore that asshole, and Limbaugh responded that if they want to marry [...]

Michael Goldfarb likes to say swear words, and he was John McCain’s chief blogger for a while. Like every former campaign staffer, he believes “mistakes were made” during McCain’s 2008 presidential run, but can’t name any except the one where the candidate refused to talk about Reverend Wright for fear of looking like a racist. [...]

Tap-dancing vaudeville parasite Sarah Palin has started a political action committee on behalf of Sarah Palin, so that she may better position herself to ruin America as she has already ruined John McCain and the Republican party and many trash bags of expensive clothes. “SarahPAC believes America’s best days are ahead,” her new Web site [...]

Oh goodness we spent all day yesterday saluting Bill Kristol, who had to leave the New York Times because he was TOO PERFECT TO GO ON, without noticing a gem of a column by his fellow token conservative David Brooks. He wrote about the profound reverence with which we should approach our professions because they [...]
