Wonkette readers, I never properly introduced myself when I started in October -- and this was because I have been living a lie. I am not, in fact, Jim Newell, the "supposed" 22-year-old brat in Washington who makes mindfuckingly hilarious political jokes and uber-trenchant political observation. I am actually Jim al-Newell, a perceived terrorist with al-Qaeda who has all sorts of fun CIA information and shit like that. I hid this double agent status well until one day, when I was walking around DC with Megan Carpentier and I *stupidly* wore my favorite t-shirt -- the one that says "Perceived Terrorist" in big A-rab letters on the front. Megan proceeded to waterboard me and asked all sorts of insidery-like questions, like "What time should we publish the gossip roundup?" Torture, I says! She proceeded to destroy the tape of this session -- but oh ho ho, my secret camera caught it all! Watch it above! Death to teh Amerkaz, I'm not going anywhere!
