LGF

-RetweetWonkette Services the Debate

Mon, Dec 20, 2004 at 2:06:01 pm PST

Courtesy of Newsweek, mainstream media’s pet blogger Wonkette takes a cute little slap at the bloggers who broke the Dan Rather fraud story: Fast Chat: The Wonkette.

What did you think of the bloggers’ role in the Dan Rather affair?
I think they did a disservice to the debate because they made the debate about the documents and not about the president of the United States. There was another half to that story that had to do with verifiable events of what Bush may have been up to.

While blogs like LGF were doing a “disservice to the debate” by exposing phony documents used to influence a presidential election, Wonkette was servicing the debate by speculating often about the size of John Kerry’s reproductive organ, and by trumpeting bogus exit poll results to the world on election day.

A real class act. You can see why she gets so much coverage in the MSM.

She's the darling of the MSM..

Yes, let's concentrate on the real issue, not the bogus docs propping up the issue. Geez.

The MSM thinks the blogosphere is mainly liberal. Hah. Or I should say: bwahahaha

The silly slut.


Was that unkind? Well instead of jumping my ass aobut whether or not I was out of line perhaps we should discuss whether or not Wonkette is really a slut.

5 rw in san diego  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:10:02pm

That's right, Charles, you and the rest of the bloggers did a real disservice to the public, focusing on facts. No spin, just plain old facts...so boooring.

6 Luigi  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:10:09pm

Go ahead, MSM, try to cram her down people's throats just like you tried to cram Kerry down our throats. You're just demonstrating your own irrelevance, and your fear of your own readers.

Ah, yes, those "verifiable events" which y'all can't prove without using forged documents.

10 Catttt  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:12:36pm

Like Charles said, Wonkette's main focus is on male reproductive equipment, and size of same. Her blog is essentially a dick blog. How can anyone take her seriously - are they insane?

In light of the Christmas season, I think Wonkette is a ho ho ho. :)

11 Maine's Michael  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:12:38pm

Is Wonkette cute? Does she give good head?

If she is, and she does, all is forgiven.


Well, maybe not forgiven, but at least she'll be able to earn a living for next 4 years.

12 ted  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:13:12pm

She would be a great replacement Dan Rather...Whether in blogs or the MSM , the LLL Cubos carry on their proud and honored tradition of LYING

What did you think of the journalists’ role in the Watergate affair?
I think they did a disservice to the debate because they made the debate about the break in and not about the dirt found in the files at the offices that were broken into. There was another half to that story that had to do with verifiable events of what the Democrats may have been up to.

Hmmm...

Funny how the left does not equate one felony with another, when it suits their purpose.

22 foreign devil  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:15:58pm

The President is guilty of NOTHING if the documents are phony.

The left were hung up on this meme 'the documents are phony but the story is true'!

What happened to the concept of 'innocent before being found guilty'? If the document meant to prove the President's guilt were phony, how far would those documents get in a court of law?

The judge would laugh them and any lawyer out of the courtroom then slap the lawyer who submitted them with a 'Contempt of Court' citation and a hefty fine after which the Law Society would yank his license to practice. Moron!

It is just more denial from liberals...they will deny reality as a preference to examining their own illogic...It's like cnn continuing to say the missouri "fetus" was kidnapped...it makes no sense unless your a liberal with a belly full of kool-aid...

And they get what they deserve. MSNBC is not the MSM, but it is easy to see why they trail Foxnews by so much:Fast Chat: The Wonkette. What a twit!

Has her IQ actually been measured? I would imagine it is way off the charts, in negtive numbers.

Please, she isn't fit to empty Charles' wastebasket.

28 Pickle  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:19:00pm

Now, now, gentlemen. Let's not be unkind. Just because Wonkette talks about wanting to fuck Tucker Carlson doesn't make her a slut or a ditz. It's just Hip Edgy Gen-x Political Commentary. You see.

29 Ed Moran abu GOMEX aob 26.5C  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:19:26pm

I'd still like to know the details of what Ana Marie Cox, aka Wonkette, wrote for Huster's "Barely Legal" magazine.


Maybe a political commentary for guys that fantasize about 14 year old girls with pigtails who lick lollipops?

30 Confederate Yankee  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:19:52pm

32 Jack Tanner  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:20:42pm

That approach worked so well for Dan Rather it's no wonder this dumbass is trying to use it. Good news though - if young hos are interested in the size of 60 year old guys dicks I've got a lot of productive years in front of me.

Hey, leave Wonkette alone. She is the country's finest blogger when it comes to slutty D.C. interns and the things they do with their butts.

Think about it. If it wasn't for Wonkette, we might never know that Jessica Cutler had various types of sex with a no-name mid-level Bush administration offical.

38 csva  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:23:55pm

So If I type up some phoney documents and send them to the wonk-chick she will discuss they republician bashing potential and forget that the documents are fake. Doesn't that just make her a staff producer for CBS?

39 Studsup  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:24:28pm

Pushing the "Fake but Accurate" line. Any chance here that CBS is doing it's advance spin on the Internet before releasing the buckets of whitewash designed to turn the focus back on the President? I think so.

CBS got caught cooperating with the DNC and publishing fraudulent document for the express purpose of unseating the President. I want to see some criminal prosecutions here.

Everytime Ms. Wankette or any other LLL blogger starts in the TANG non-scandal, just start encouraging folks to read "Unfit for Command". I read it after the election (Kerry's own undeniable record after Vietnam is all I will ever need to know to label him the traitor that he was and remains). The book is well documented and the charges that it is "unsubstantiated" or "repudiated", are nonsense. That he is still voting on military, intelligence and veterans affairs in light of his sad record is an abomination.

Remember, Kerry still won't release his military records. It's small wonder.

"There was another half to that story that had to do with verifiable events of what Bush may have been up to."

And what might some of those " verifiable events " be Ms. Wonkette:

That:

1-Bush was behind 9/11

2-Israel controls American Foreign Policy

3-Bush started GW2 to enrich Haliburton

4-Bush Lied/Soldiers Died

5-Bush and Sharon want to rule the world

The MSM may not have Wonkettes number,but we see thru her bullshit

50 Ayatollah Ghilmeini  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:28:23pm

Yes the documents were discredited and the witnesses were discredited but the story still has to be true.

A democratic operative, probably in cahoots with the DNC, foisted forged documents on the press (you know the supposed guardians of truth in a democracy), knowing they were false, and attempted to malign a sitting President and thereby affect the outcome of a Presidential election.

Am I missing something here?

Dan Rather isn't going to break this story either.

51 Confederate Yankee  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:29:01pm

57 Ol' Southern Boy  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:31:20pm

When Wonkette first went on-line, I checked her site out and wondered what all the buzz was about. How did she get so popular, so quickly? I didn't see anything special. Then I read that she was (as one article put it) a "Nick Denton property."

That turned on my clue light.

Wonkette is to bloggers as the Monkees were to real musicians.

WONKETTE IS NOT A BLOGGER!

Sheesh, this really peeves me. Wonkette was HIRED by a consulting firm to provide the content for a fake corporate-sponsored pseudo-blog which they created for her. She is paid a goddamn SALARY to write her "blog," fer chrissake. Totally, totally phony down to her core. She's basically a mainstream gossip columnist without a newspaper to appear in.

I said this before, but everyone liked it so much the first time around I'll say it again:

Wonkette is a blogger in the same way the Spice Girls were a garage band.

60 Golem Akbar  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:32:11pm

#45 Ted
Are you saying that all the false accusations made in F 9/11 are being repeated by Wonkette? I didn't know that. I honestly thought all that garbage from MM's piece of drek was now known to be phony fake false and stupid lies. By the MSM and most others.

How many times does the truth have to be repeated to stop the MM-type lies? Thanks Charles and Power Line and the other good-guy blogs.

61 J. Lichty  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:32:39pm

lemme get this straigt Miss Cocks:

There was another half to that story that had to do with verifiable events of what Bush may have been up to.

Verifiable events of what he MAY have been up to? if they are verifiable, wouldn't that necessitate removing the MAY? Or are you just looking for verification that there was speculation? Well if it is speculation, and that speculation is based upon the false documents, tell me where the other side of the story is wankette.

#46 NY Nana -- She'll be just as biased against Repbulicans and just as helpful to the DNC as Rather was. The rot at CBS is complete and it runs much deeper and futher than just the CBS news division. I hope they choose her. She will be easier to dissect than even rather and in the end will come across and the airheaded lightweight liberal bimbette that she is at the core.

66 Darwin Akbar  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 12:34:57pm

Maybe it's just my 24 years as a practicing attorney getting in the way, but I fail to understand how exactly the efforts to expose the "evidence" in question as a fabrication is a "disservice to the debate."

No, instead, we are to focus on what the subject did, according to the fake evidence, not on the evidence. But in order to focus on what the subject did and have a debate, we need to focus on the evidence...but if we focus on the evidence, we are doing a disservice to the debate...

LGF does a "disservice" because it cannot compete with "fake but accurate" stories... LOL.

Ms Cox prefers her forged documents and fake testimony from partisan Kerry backers (e.g., Ben Barnes, vice-chair of the Kerry campaign used in the initial Dan Rather C-BS "news" smear) to remain unchallenged.

Sorry, those days are over.

One can always tell where they stand, by who they have as enemies.

That she's unhappy with Dan Rather being exposed as a partisan fraud, is a ringing endorsement of LGF and the blogs who pursued this story.

92 SunCat  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 1:01:26pm

Many Lizards may be unaware of it but George Soros was once a student of a philosopher called Karl Popper. Popper's big idea was falsifiability or openness to possibly being proven wrong. Applied to the physical world, this produces the scientific method. Applied to society, this produces democracy. Applied to one's personal life, this produces integrity.

How disappointing that Soros did not get it. Wonkette believes that CBS's obviously bogus memos should not be falsifiable. How totalitarian.

Police zeroed in on Lisa Montgomery in the most 21st century of ways, by trolling computer records, examining online message boards and — most important — tracing an IP address, 65.150.168.223, to a computer at her Melvern, Kan., home.

"That in and of itself led us to the home," Jeff Lanza, an FBI (news - web sites) spokesman here said of the IP, or Internet protocol, address, the unique number given to every Internet-connected computer.

Investigators say that just before the slaying, Montgomery had corresponded over the Internet with the victim, Bobbie Jo Stinnett, about buying a dog from Stinnett. The same technology that makes instantaneous communication possible enabled authorities to crack the case in a matter of hours and rescue the premature baby.

There was another half to that story that had to do with verifiable events of what Bush may have been up to.

Is it just me, or...nevermind. I give up on these idiots.

re #86, Maine's Michael.

You're 10000% correct. Being a man, I know how easy it is to fall for that sorta talk. Wonkette provides it on a daily basis. Even Instapundit falls for the schtick every so often. Wonkette brings it forth on a daily basis. She's basically figured out that sex sells.

Hence, she is a slut.

The odd thing about her is, she's proud of it. It's like some feminist thing with her. She conforms to the worst girly-girl sterotypes of women in the media, that women couldn't be in position X (like an anchorman) because they wouldn't be taken seriously and are too emotional and only would whisper about sex... and Wonkette fits that sterotype perfectly.

I wonder if she'll ever regret it?

98 LesLein  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 1:04:32pm

Like Newsweek, Wonkette doesn't want facts to get in the way of her agenda.

#33 -- The soon to be renamed Kerry Spot catches some new foolishness from Sullivan:

"Nevertheless, they [blogs] stay on the margins — because, like all insurgents, they're about sniping, not governing. "

Kerry Spot:

"The next time Sullivan refers to the Daily Dish as one of the leading blogs and a quintessential example of the genre, recall that he also dismisses bloggers as being merely “about sniping,” not governing. (Hey, I wonder if he’ll feature that particular quote during Pledge Week?)"

99 QueenEsther  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 1:05:21pm

Hey Wonkette (If you're reading this)!

Any idea the size of that great big organ in the cathedral in Strasbourg? Sounded real good! Be a good girl and check it out; give your "journalism" a rest!

106 Laurence simon  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 1:22:13pm

Wonkette avoided having to screw her way to the top by being married to someone who could just place here there.

...they made the debate about the documents and not about the president of the United States. There was another half to that story that had to do with verifiable events...

I've noticed before that the entire left is now stubbornly clinging to the 'fake but accurate' line, presumably based on the "testimony" by Ben Barnes and former secretary Marian Carr Knox - both thoroughly discredited... Just as they still believe the allegations of the Swift Boat Vets were 'all lies' paid for by Bush. That's how these episodes will enter the history books.

I'm not sure I get the reference, though?

Wonkette talking about Kerry's organ, o.k..., but still...

*puzzled*

I hate it when jokes have to be explained to me...

109 V the K  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 1:27:26pm
Wonkette was servicing the debate by speculating often about the size of John Kerry’s reproductive organ

That explains Andrew Sullivan's endorsement.

110 Daybrother  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 1:28:20pm

Lizards, please listen to Zombie. He explained it simply and completely. Why is the truth so hard to understand?

Wonkette is not real. Wonkette is Fleshbot, etc.; completely manufactured. "Look at the shiney thing...look look...".
LGF is real.

Oh and BTW I think Boyce and Hart wrote some fantastic songs.

#108 - Sorry Tanker

It was that simple reference to Clinton's masterpiece (I assume) that made me think of the Strasbourg one, no doubt infinitely more useful.

I figure that if she's getting into organs (so to speak) she should take some time off whatever it is she does and investigate that one...

Does Wonkette (Gasp!) outsource her blog?

116 Catracks  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 1:57:42pm

At least she said "MAY have been up to."

That is of course the whole point and nothing but the point. Nothing could be substantiated.

I still want to see Kerry's damned record. The scum never did release it. Bush did everything asked of him on that matter and more.

One still has to wonder why Kerry is not being prosecuted for his treasonous role in denouncing American troops and conspiring with the enemy while still in the service. THAT is uncontested. How is this man still in office?

I guess I can be content that he will never realize his political dream that has guided his every action since childhood.

#60 Golem -

I was amazed this a.m. on Fox and Friends when the exec editor of Time said that it was a difficult year picking "Person of the Year." When asked, she said, yeah, they'd considered Mel Gibson, Michael Moore - people who had an impact.

Michael Moore had an IMPACT? The only way that lying sack of #&(% would have an impact is if he fell 10 feet off a roof, thereby knocking the Earth out of its orbit.

118 Catracks  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 2:05:45pm

Moore did have an impact. He helped throw both elections to the man he didn't want elected.

This is really nitpicking, but I went over to that Wonkette site. There is a left wing t-shirt advertised saying; "This original Gyros sandwich is smarter than Bush"

The picture is of a whole spitted roast. Even their t-shirts suck.

I couldn't even comment on her so-called blog.

I'm with you 126 -- just went there for the first time -- and the wit assumes that the readership agrees Bush is an idiot and that therefore she is funny for repeating the same idea yet repeating it differently with a new and more over-the-top snideness.

Plus she talks about dicks a lot.

129 kimberly  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 2:56:33pm

#111 - You've been reading WAY too much Fark.

And I consider Wonkette to be someone who takes women's rights, and respect, back about 100 years or so. Here we have all these female bloggers working day in and day out (oh, okay, three times a week or so) to build up readership WITHOUT cutsie photos of themselves, foul mouths, boobie photos, or sex jokes, but what female blogger gets the most press? Oh, yes, the one who the men in charge at Newsweek think would be the best at giving head, thanks to her "saucy" talk and "wicked" friends.

Yeah, Wonkette, you're a real "revolutionary." Can't wait until you see yourself replaced by the next young skirt to come down the pike. Meanwhile, those of us female bloggers whose readers don't type with one hand might actually keep our blogs going on substance (I understand if you have to go look that word up in the dictionary).

May I suggest there may be something a little more sinister going on here.

1. It's no secret that MSM is no fan of bloggers--a definite threat--a recent internal memo from MSM (posted here) clearly revealed that point.

2. Using the Wonkette (Dimwit) as representative of bloggers at large to the uninitiated may cause far more harm than MSM could do on its own.

Just a thought.

She's got a point. Bush's first tactic when questioned is to discredit the source.

That's a junior high school way of debating, if you don't have the facts to back yourself up, which frequently he doesn't.

144 William  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 4:38:35pm
if you don't have the facts to back yourself up

In the case of Dan Rather, just fabricate the 'facts'!

And bring in partisan 'witnesses' such as Ben Barnes, Vice-chair for the Kerry campaign.  There's an impartial source.
 

145 He's dead, Jim  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 4:41:03pm

Wonkette (who is obviously a propaganda tool for the LLL and not a legitimate blogger) and her stunning inability to string together coherent arguments, does not concern me.

What does concern me is when otherwise rational people are unable to string together coherent arguments, or identify incoherent ones.

For example, a family member whom I know well and love dearly, following a thorough trouncing over some silly MSM-spun meme, resorted to the "but I can believe it if I want to; it's my opinion!" defense.

When I pointed out, calmly and without malice, that it was actually the media's opinion point for point with no other knowledge, facts or critical thought added, this person flew off the handle completely.

That is frightening.

I disagree. Sluts give it out for free. Ana Marie's getting paid for it (barely). Thus, she is a whore.

(As an aside, Instapundit's inability to stop thinking with his penis is one of the main reasons I can't take reading him much any more. Give people links because they're worthy, Glenn, not because they have tits and flirt with you.)

She's got a point. Bush's first tactic when questioned is to discredit the source.

Nobody could possibly be that dumb or deluded... could they? There isn't a single iota of accuracy or sensibility in your post.

#1 Ms. Wonk didn't even try to make the point that Bush attempted to discredit the "source." Ms. Wonk's comment was in reference to the conservative bloggers that broke Rathergate. I don't believe that Bush ever responded to Rather's dumb-ass story. Bush didn't need to because Rather's story was shot down in less that 24 hours thanks to Free Republic, Powerline, and LGF.

#2 I haven't ever noticed a tendency by Bush to attempt to discredit sources of criticism. Perhaps you could site some?

#3 You idiot libs don't even have your story straight on what Bush's big "crime" was supposed to be in the TANG. So far after exhausting every back-alley DNC resource and digging in the depths of every DNC sewer for +five years you've come up with the un-substantited accusation that GWB may have blown off a physical exam in the last few months of a 6 year long tour in the TANG.

#4 The basis of Rather's "story" was his fraudulent memos. How can anyone respond to frame-up?

Top 10 Reasons To Vote for Wonkette for Idiotarian of the Year (The Fiskie)
10) She played a central part in the exit poll attempt to undermine the American Presidential election.
9) She’s a Democrat. They desperately need to win a nationwide election.
8) She is a card carrying Inside-The-Beltway MSM media favorite.
7) She’s a full fledged member of the Blogosphere.
6) She’s a shoo-in in the Idiotarian Beauty Pageant.
5) She’ll serve as the inspiration for more blonde jokes to use on her whole alphabet of sisters (Anna Nicole, Britney, Christina …).
4) She’s a Paris Hilton Wannabee.
3) She’s certain to accept a congratulatory drink.
2) Once you’ve got her drinking, you could get lucky.
1) That means she’s the only candidate where the average voter has a chance of seeing a return on his vote!

150 DANEgerus  Mon, Dec 20, 2004 8:23:27pm

Personally I think the LeftistNewsMedia's embrace of Wonkette is exactly because she is such trash that it demeans the blogosphere by association.

I don't care that the Washingtonienne invented stories of anal-sex favors with the Washington elite... but it certainly speaks to Wonkette's credibility that she participated in the propagation of that fraud.

So of course Wonkette defends Dan Rather for Wonkette has no choice but to defend Dan Rather's use of fake documents just as the Wonkette/Washingtoniene used fake 'documents' to sell their story.

Wonkette is a DanRather wannabe

153 KJO  Tue, Dec 21, 2004 4:48:43am

When it comes to the MSM protecting and promoting their own agenda, all reasoning goes out the window. Let's see if I get this? The document was false, but the "facts" behind it are "true"? Their evidence? There is none. Only the bitter recriminations of a Texas Bush hater. NEWSWEEK, and the Wapo are desperate to hang anything they can on him. They intuited Bush's guilt; that's it! He's guilty because we THINK he's guilty, so he MUST be guilty, so we will publish his guilt.

I mean, this is really, really, weird.
