Jenna the No-Show

Saturday, May 22nd, 2004

So not only did Dubya not visit the University of Texas for Jenna’s graduation (though he did speak at graduation for another University, the money-grubber), but Jenna missed it, too!

I think the real news here, though, is that someone who half started out in Dubya’s testes ended up with an English major. They must be taking a page from immigrant families, what with this second-generation mastery of a foreign language.

Palme D’Moore

Saturday, May 22nd, 2004

Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″ won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival today–the first documentary to do so in nearly 50 years.

I’ll withhold judgment on this until I actually see the movie.

Sweet

You know who’s handling the Washingtonienne scandal better than anyone else? Washingtonienne herself. Check out Wonkette’s interview with her. Best line?

“I was thinking, that I’m going to get another job in Washington, but it’s going to be fun, not something stupid like working on the Hill. Now I’m realizing I may have to go back to New York. In New York, they love this kind of thing. They’ll ask what happened at my last job, and I’ll say I was fired for a sex scandal!”

She also says that while she’s just out of a crappy, low-paying job, the appropriately-titled Chief of Staff who paid her sex to, er, chafe his staff is shitting bricks.

This is awesome for two reasons: one, I don’t have to reconcile naming names to people anymore because Washingtonienne sounds absolutely chill with everything.

Two–and this is always gravy for bloggers–I’m mentioned on both Ilovejennabush and the Drudge Retort. The latter says this whole ordeal is, “the kind of loosely sourced rumor mongering for which the Internet was invented.” Finally, my niche in the blogosphere!

Watch the Washington Post Sunday edition for an article about Washingtonienne with what she says is a much better picture.

Good night and have a great weekend, everyone.

Want The Picture?

Go to ilovejennabush; he’s got it. He outed RS, too, so I may as well corroborate the evidence and say that I’ve also heard it is Robert Steinbuch. So all you gals who end up dating Steinbuch remember: he’s into some kinky shit.

PS: I can’t quite understand the guy behind that Jenna Bush site. He has, like, his own church…and stuff… Is he serious? Is he sarcastic? Is he crazy? Who knows?

More Atrocities

Friday, May 21st, 2004

Abu Ghraib prisoners described being ridden like animals, forced to ingest liquor and pork, and sexually assaulted by soldiers in January statements that were finally made public today. They also were forced to get their food out of toilets, were savagely beaten, forced to masturbate in front of females, and one was even sodomized with a blunt object while other soldiers took pictures.

Soldiers also made detainees denounce their religion and “thank Jesus” they were still alive. In the name of their loving Savior, these animals sodomized others. Strangely, they’re probably against sodomy themselves. Way to act just like the Almighty, dumbasses.

There’s a quote (can’t find it online right now unfortunately) that goes something like, “The measure of civilization of a society can be seen by how it treats its prisoners.” Well if the world were a high school classroom, the US right now would be a fat, stupid asshole that never turns in its homework.

Is there anyone out there who still thinks this was just a bunch of fraternity pranks?

Oh Yeah, Basketball

Lest anyone be of the impression that I only care about anal sex in our nation’s capital, I do know that it’s game 1 of the Wolves/Lakers series tonight. Sadly, it’s gonna be Lakers in 6.

People In My Life Whose Names Are Similar To Jessica Cutler

Friday, May 21st, 2004

Just because it’s fun:

Jesse Cutler (male, went to my high school in Minnesota, was a couple years ahead of me). Buy his record!

Jessica Cutler (female, swam for my alma mater in Boston while I was there).

Jesse Custer (male, fictional hero of the “Preacher” series of comic books–the only comic books I’ve read in the last decade).

Keeping It Going

Friday, May 21st, 2004

I got the pic that’s finding its way around the hill, thanks to an anonymous IMer. No, it’s not going up (and not just because it’s over a meg).

This person also outed RS, though since he hasn’t done anything wrong, I don’t know why I would put it on here. Washingtonienne referred to him as “Rob” once on her blog. That oughtta narrow things down to about 100,000 possibilities.

It’s Official

Friday, May 21st, 2004

Washingtonienne was fired. And she had “other inappropriate material” in her cubicle.

Four Arrested In Nicholas Berg Beheading

I’m not normally a fan of capital punishment, but these guys deserve it.
