After the Trig scandal made all their advertisers jump ship (except Blogads which has to advertise because they own a stake) Wonkette shows the trick they learned at prog camp: the ability to defecate into a blog template, hit publish, and call it content. To wit:
Kudos to Ken Layne! Is it just me, or does he have a Haley Joel Osment thing going on?

“I hear racist things.”
Wonkette’s correction:
UPDATE: Michele Bachmann actually said she“hates white people” because they’re “subhuman.” YouTube regrets the error.
[…]
The Wonkette editorial board just had a meeting and your editor Kirsten Boyd Johnson said, “She’s obviously referring ot the dumb band that played before her but forgot to mention the rest of the band’s name, because she’s an idiot.”
How many Wonkette editors does it take to change a light bulb? THAT’S RACIST!
Listen to the video again. You’re telling me that no one in Wonkette HQ heard Bachmann say “Who likes wet people? Because we have the God of the winds and the rains, don’t we?” They didn’t hear the sound of rain in the video? Or deduce that she may have been referencing the weather? They heard a word that began with W so they assumed white?
Comedy gold.
