Colorado GOP Senate Candidate’s Son Has Funny Racist Facebook Page

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

The political children, the children are idiots. Colorado Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer has a son, you see, and he is 19 years old and in trouble for putting funny images on his Facebook page, like one that shows a picture of the three pyramids in Egypt with the caption, “Slavery Gets Shit Done.” Well, it’s true, right? Do you think people owned other human beings so they could watch them flop around all day? He also has a bunch of pictures of Barack Obama as a Muslim. Well, it’s true, right? MORE »


RNC Launches Very Interesting ‘BarackBook’!

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Since John McCain cannot appeal to America’s Youth in any demonstrable way, he has to rely on the famously hip and “with it” RNC to awaken the young voters’ elan vital. And what do the children like this millennium? The Facebook, of course! And, perchance, would there were a way to use New Yorker Satire to mock Barry Hussein with a Facebook spinoff, on the Internet? One might call it the “BarackBook”! Let’s explore the RNC’s ingenius new “BarackBook,” and possibly not kill ourselves in the process. MORE »


Ted ‘Tubes’ Stevens Explains His New Internet For Us

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Corrupt Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens, the old hack whose limited understanding of the Internet as a “series of tubes” launched a soul-crushing meme, has redesigned his Internet web site! And he’s sent out a release about the changes that we found funny, but probably only because, you know, he’s Ted Stevens and he’s writing about the Internet again. For example: “Online communities - We now have a presence on YouTube, Flickr (photo sharing site), and MySpace in addition to the Facebook page we have had. You can become a friend or subscriber to these pages and this will allow you to stay in touch with the campaign in a whole new way. Links to all of these sites are located on the front page of the website.” OK, you tell us Flickr is for photo sharing, but what in the hell are YouTube, MySpace and the Facebook?? [Ted Stevens]


John McCain’s Number One Priority: Beating Hillary Clinton

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Super tuberOh dear, we do not know how these Facebooks work because we are older than John McCain (and time, apparently). Anyway it looks like you can make Groups on these Facebooks, and here is a group that challenges all Republicans to FACEBOOK FRIEND John McCain so that he will have more friends than Hillary Clinton. This is funny because Hillary Clinton died months ago. Thanks to Wonkette Operative “Ian” for the tip. [The John McCain Facebook Challenge]


Can You Explain The Internet To John McCain’s Grandmother?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Here’s video of the panel at the Personal Democracy Forum (WONKETTE PREMIUM AD $$$) where McCain “Internet Guy” Mark Soohoo informs the world that “John McCain is aware of the Internet.” Since this was a conference about technology, you can only imagine the giggles from the techie crowd, all of whom immediately Twitter the quote to their pet gerbils. Then Tracy Russo, a blogger gal, says your grandmother cannot understand Facebook, and neither can John McCain. Who gives a shit? [YouTube]


Newfound Sympathy for New Hampshirianites

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

NH1.jpg This is the press room for the ABC News/Facebook debates (of which they’re only holding TWO back-to-back). Videographer Liz Glover and I have staked a spot here in the gymnasium of St. Anslem’s college, which looks less like a college than some asshole prep school Mittens attended. It’s actually called Saint Anselm college, and we know that because the school gave all press cards saying “DON’T” call it “St. Anslem’s college”. Like anyone gives a shit about this school? St. Anslem’s it will be alllll night.

More to come from St. Anslem’s Preparatory Middle School For Young Princes in the next hour or so. Debates — the Party of Mittens first — commence at seven! Liz went out to get our drinks.


Facebook Will Kill You, Your Children, Your Children’s Children

Friday, December 21st, 2007

hitler.jpgWho here uses Facebook? Uh huh, that’s what I thought, pretty much all of you. Guess what? You’re all going to fucking die. Or that’s what The Nation says in an article they just posted, and kudos to them for getting a whole issue to press the night of their Christmas party. Double kudos for showing me such a good time and not skimping on the booze. As a result, I almost feel bad about what I’m about to do. But, hey, my people did kill Christ so that really says something about my Christmas spirit. Anywho, we’ll take a look at The Nation’s paranoid schizophrenic Facebook-as-Fascism story and explain why it’s, well, retarded, right after the jump. MORE »


Mike McHaney’s Axis of Fun

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

ohlala.jpgFormer Senate staffer Mike McHaney, who’a arrest Wonkette reported yesterday, belonged to an informal gay social group known as the Axis of Fun. The group, a source tells us, is not very well-liked. “They think they are the big shots within the gay community around DC and play kickball together and canoodle around Rehobeth.” MORE »


MoveOn Targets Facebook!

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

moveon.jpgThe fucknuts at MoveOn.org, which gave us that creative General Petraeus ad the other month, are now pointing their beady little geek eyes to Facebook. But get this: in a total meta move, they are launching their campaign against Facebook on Facebook. Alright, totally conflicted now. That sort of moxie-filled Trojan Horse maneuver? Huzzah! For being a bunch of fascists? Go screw! MORE »


Mike Bloomberg’s Online Virtual Fantasy Campaign

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Just as decrepit old teevee actor and abortion lobbyist Fred Thompson is running for president of teevee by making webcam announcements, non-candidate New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg has all kinds of online shit that sort of suggests he will eventually run for president — hey, he just got a Facebook profile, how lame!
