Wonkette

We cannot give all campaign ads precious real estate on Wonkette. No, it’s not because there is too much other news to cover — in fact there is absolutely no news, at all, ever. It’s just because we have no idea these ads are coming out. Ha! Anyway we’ve taken the last four minutes to scan over John McCain’s YouTube page for any recent comical web ads. The digging effort has been, by most standards, a modest success. The video above is brand new from today and gets you pretty excited about jobs — no small task, indeed. Two others, after the jump.

Big John Cornyn had to speak at a convention,
Oh my, what to say, with all that attention!
He queried his staff, they dwelled on the matter,
‘Til finally they settled on iambic quadrameter!
“A cowboy to narrate! Some bales of hay!”
Then Cornyn responded, “but isn’t that gay?”
“Nay” said his staffers, “It’s rugged, and tough!
It’s hard-working and white; you’ll look crazy buff!”
So Cornyn agreed and they made this video,
It’s shockingly gay; they thought it was witty yo!
Dear god, it’s hilarious, to a cosmic degree,
‘Cause this is what happens when egos run free.

OMG did you hear what colored people are up to “in their churches”? Well let’s have one more moment of comic/feigned outrage over what those uppity black people are saying, as the Jeremiah Wright “scandal” will be the closest any of you white people ever get to a black church. Also, uh, this is what the fancy New York magazine Vanity Fair does these days: “Mash ups” of copyrighted video from The Simpsons and the entire two minutes of Reverend Wright’s wacky history of sermons, which so far we’ve yet to hear a single person, you know, make any sort of coherent argument against. Anyway, John McCain is Grandpa Simpson, as we will scientifically prove, after the jump. MORE »

Do you like the “who repeated a two-sentence thing from some other liberal speech” scandal? Then you will love this latest Solid Proof that sometimes Hillary Clinton also cheats by using words spoken in the past by others. Look how she did it twice tonight. MORE »

Here’s Stephen Colbert’s take on yesterday’s Supreme Court decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, striking down the military tribunals for Guantanamo Bay detainees as violative of U.S. and international law. MORE »

Love him or hate him, Chris Matthews is a force to be reckoned with. The Hardball host has “an almost transparent knowledge of your soul.” And he’s a really good wrestler — or at least better than Stephen Colbert: MORE »

Okay, this really doesn’t have much to do with politics or current affairs. Immigration, maybe? MORE »
