Wonkette writer Beth Ethier has posted a fashion review of NOM's hate march. Here's how the above photo is captioned: "National Organization for Marriage President and Hate-Marcher in Chief Brian Brown, shown here sassing it up in the VIP corral, chose a navy suit, which is the traditional garb of his tribe (self-satisfied, irrationally homophobic twatfaces)."

Leonidas Wants To Impeach Obama

Doktor Zoom writes at Wonkette:

Here is a gentleman doing a bit of 300 cosplay whilst muttering something about the need to impeach Obama. He is “Leonidas, from the past,” and he explains that he did not die, but is old. Not sure the gym shorts are historically accurate. Mostly, we feel sorry for his poor horse. Also, something about the truckers and the veterans marching in DC, so we guess this must date from the October government shutdown. Who made this? How did it end up being posted by someone who accurately labels the guy A Idiot? (False flag!!!!) Does the horse qualify for worker’s comp? All unknown.

Palin Withdrawal Watch

Wonkette has started a "Sarah Palin Early Withdrawal Watch."

• Palin was part of some loopy anti-American group of Alaskan nuts that wants to secede from America. Why does she hate America so much?
• Palin is a big supporter of MSNBC nut Pat Buchanan, but not just because of his funny nonsense on teevee! She actually supported him in his Reform Party presidential nominations. Buchanan has criticized Washington’s support of Israel … so, that means Sarah Palin hates Jews or something!
• SHE LIES: Why didn’t Palin tell anybody (in, say, the McCain vetting team) that her teen-age daughter was about to pull a “Britney Spears’ little underage sister is having a baby” deal?

In 1972 George McGovern's vice presidential nominee, Sen. Thomas Eagleton (D-MO), withdrew from the ticket two weeks after the convention when it was revealed that he'd undergone three hospitalizations for mental illness and had received electroshock therapy. McGovern was heavily criticized for not thoroughly vetting Eagleton (sound familiar?) after being turned down by Ted Kennedy, Edmund Muskie and other "big name" Senators who didn't want to face an "unbeatable" Richard Nixon. Sargeant Shriver replaced Eagleton on the ticket, who went on to two more terms in the Senate.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if Palin doesn't even last an Eagletonian two weeks.

UPDATE: Daily Kos is running a poll: "Will Sarah Palin Remain John McCain's Running Mate Until Election Day?" With 30,000 votes at this writing, it's currently 50-50.

Senator Santorum II

JMG blogroller Princess Sparkle Pony has a huge scoop over on Wonkette, telling the story of his friend, IT geek bear David Phillips, who had a memorable (and messy) sexual encounter with Sen. Larry Craig some 20 years ago. You knew these stories would cum dribbling out, right Mr. Toe-Tapper?

A Santorum-infused excerpt:

When we got to what reminded me of a rarely used guest room, he stripped me down, and the man’s hands and mouth were all over me. He kept his pants on, though, while laying me back on the bed to suck my cock. Then, he stripped naked and asked me to suck him. I complied for a while, then he disappeared and returned with lube and a condom to fuck me me with. It was a clumsy and unremarkable fuck, except that I wasn’t clean and he was frantic about not getting my shit on anything. Still, he blew his load, ripped the dirty condom off and ordered me to get dressed without wiping myself. He hurried me to the back door, again ranting, ‘You were never here. You don’t know me. Right?’”

Mr. Phillips’ next claim is startling, indeed: “On the way back through with shit all in my briefs and feeling totally humiliated I let my eyes wander and saw on a table a small envelope, like one from a gift or a floral arrangement, with ‘Suzanne Craig’ neatly written on it. This memory,” Phillips insists, “I noted about three hours after hearing Craig’s voice again, the night before I saw a current picture of him and a good day before I heard of his wife in the news. ‘That’s who’s going to fuck me up if she finds out,’ I thought. As he reached for the door, he took a $20 bill from his wallet, shoved in my front pocket, adding ‘Remember, I can buy and sell your ass ten thousand times over. You were never here. Don’t try to come back here. You don’t know me."

That Larry's a real charmer. Go read the rest. As Princess Sparkle Pony says, "Two sparkly hooves up!"
