The Republicans have found their “union thug” of the Wisconsin protests! Hooray! No more collective bargaining for you, Mick. Except this didn’t happen in Wisconsin, where, we suppose, people like this have been unable to enrage the gentle “Wisconsin nice” union members who are staging knit-ins, of all things. It happened outside FreedomWorks’ offices in [...]

Lisa Murkowski is the world’s biggest loser/jerk-off for not volunteering to work fifty hours a week as an unpaid intern for Joe Miller’s Senate campaign. And now for some reason Lisa Murkowski gets to keep her seat on her important Energy Committee, even though Jim DeMint said she wasn’t allowed to. Aren’t women supposed to [...]

We have been trying to suppress our memories of the recent 9/12 FreedomWorks death picnic, but you know what they say, if you don’t come out and talk about it, one day you’ll just snap. So we have transcribed some of our timestamped notes (“live-blogging on paper”) and uploaded a few pics. Let the healing [...]

FreedomWorks is constantly on the move. We mean this figuratively and literally, since FreedomWorks is always very busy hosting death picnics — but also it actually moved its headquarters, because it is so afraid of all the libruls. And somehow FreedomWorks has been able to keep up the momentum, perhaps because Dick Armey keeps an [...]

Your Wonkette foolishly agreed to help Liz Glover and her fancy VICE Teevee crew “cover” the 9/12 FreedomWorks picnic. We will file a full report on this monstrosity shortly, but until then: Andrew Breitbart fingerbanged Riley Waggaman, and it was weird and probably illegal.

FreedomWorks is a sparkling beacon of truth, a special Made In China sweatshop beacon that turns into a Dick Armey-shaped sponge when you place it in a glass of water. So why do liberals keep emailing FreedomWorks hateful messages such as “eat a turd sandwich and then drop dead, preferably at this very moment”? It’s [...]

Dick Armey sure seems like a jovial fellow, especially considering how often someone named “Dick Armey” must have gotten cruelly mocked as a child. In a lackadaisical interview with the Texas Tribune, he vaguely praises Rick Perry’s political opportunism, casually notes that Tom DeLay was a free-spending jerk, writes off Barack Obama’s 2012 chances, and [...]

Robot-dweeb asswipe Steve Forbes was such a great Republican Presidential Candidate that absolutely no-one can remember that Steve Forbes did this, not so long ago. Has he vanished up the anus of his inherited wealth? No, of course not. He’s a fake Teabagger. He’s got a Twitter. And he’s so happy Robert Byrd is dead. [...]

We had not heard about this! Has “other we” (Ken Layne) brought it up? Not enough time to look through the archives, COPY-PASTE: “Actor Lance Baxter, otherwise known as ‘D.C. Douglas,’ currently known as the man who informs you how much Geico can save you on car insurance, left a message last month with FreedomWorks [...]

Welcome to Narnia! We arrived at the FreedomWorks Tax Day Tea Party last night just as the Christian lion Admiral Ackbar was gettin’ the crowd all hot and bothered, about socialism, between their trips to the Fried Dough and Porta Potty lines. No just kidding, the speaker was maybe Neal Boortz or somebody else. “They’re [...]

Your Wonkette has just returned from a lovely evening at the Washington Monument, site of Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks Tax Day Tea Party! Your editor remembered to charge his digital camera battery this time, too — but then left the battery at home, in the charger. Hooray! But whatever. We have more terrible BlackBerry photos to [...]

DICK ARMEY QUITS LAW FIRM TO BECOME FULL-TIME LYING EXPLOITATIVE LIAR: Former Republican House majority leader Dick Armey, head of one of the most prominent wingnut Astroturfing organizations, FreedomWorks, is quitting his “real job” at a law firm for rather Palinesque quittery reasons. “The firm is busy with its business, and shouldn’t be asked to [...]
