Wonkette now less wonky

Last updated on August 9th, 2017 at 09:24 am

It’s Laynette!

1. As a crime-politics-military reporter, Layne quietly collected paychecks from many newspapers in places such as the scumbag capital of the Earth (San Diego) and former Nazi lands including Slovakia and the Balkans. He covered the 2000 presidential conventions and riots for an obscure academic publication.

   San Diego is the scumbag capital of the Earth?! The 200 presidential conventions and riots?? What riots? Who is this person and what the hell is he/she talking about?

1. That “rioting for an obscure academic publication” gig sounds pretty sweet.

1. WTF? Is this some sort of joke?

   Oh, it’s Wonkette, the land of unintentional self-parody.

1. Wonkette is all guys these days. It’s like Bosom Buddies.

1. Well, at least Ken doesn’t have a fixation on anal sex.  That’s gotta be an improvement.

1. San Diego isn’t nearly as full of scumbags since this south end of a northbound jackass left town.

   He obviously hasn’t been to San Francisco.

1. Not only has he been there, but one of his novels is all about how much it sucks.

1. “A few days’ escape from the constant apocalypse of San Francisco is good for the soul.”

   “San Francisco is truly the foulest place on Earth.”

   …at least Ken doesn’t have a fixation on anal sex.

   God let’s hope not.

1. I don’t get it. Is this guy announcing his intentions of going after Fisk’s “King of the Idiots” crown, or something?

   Or did I misread that Wonkette piece?

1. Grimmy.  Dude.  It’s Wonkette.  The question is “why read?” not “misread?”

1. Come for the Corvids.  Stay for the refreshing lack of anal sex fixation!

1. #‘s 6 and 7,

   HA!  Seems to me that Mr. Layne takes these foul things with him when he travels.

   Was that post supposed to be a biographical sketch?  Doesn’t think much of himself, does he?  I’m not terribly impressed, either.

1. Kyda,

   I take it you mean the 2000 convention, not the one in 200. I was with Layne, at the riots outside the Dem convention in LA. OK, maybe not riot…perhaps a really big melee.

   I’ll pass on the anal commments but please do buy those pretty Corvids albums.

   Read carefully but not seriously.

1. Thanks for the referral, jimlowney.  I think.

   Anywho, I read Wonkette for a while in her “prime”, but dropped the blog as I couldn’t decide if Wonkette was writing sordid sexed up gossip about politicians, or sordid gossip about anal-fixated politicians…..and how much was tongue in *cough* cheek *cough*.

   Good luck to Ken!
