In the Great Weblog Awards War of ’08 Wonkette has joined The Confluence in righteous battle for Best Liberal Blog. Hilarity ensues.
It’s worth mentioning that The Confluence is a PUMA blog which means that Jim Newell is spending precious moments of his life arguing with people who still think it would have been fairer for Hillary Clinton to have been allowed to play from the ladies tees during the primary season. And if you think that groups like the Susan B. Anthony List or the CWA are detrimental to the feminist movement, you’ll have to admit that The Confluence is really pulling out the stops when it comes to reconsidering that whole women’s suffrage thing.
In a post entitled Wonkette Gets Pwn’ed:
Don’t forget, Captain Spaulding says VOTE!
For Best Liberal Blog, vote for The Confluence here
For Best New Blog, vote for Uppity Woman here
For Best Small Blog, vote for Nice Deb here
For Best Hidden Gem, vote for Deadenders here
If you feel obligated to cast a vote in every category, Captain Spaulding says Ace of Spades is 2% less evil than the other nominees for “Best Conservative Blog” so you can vote for them here
That would be Play-doh and bacon Ace of Spades.
Hey, for all I know having your electric ladyland compared to Play-Doh & bacon is sweet pillow talk to a PUMA.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama!!
The poor little PUMA went to the Democratic convention & found out how politics is played.
“I am the furthest thing from a racist. I am an AmeriKKKan.”
Oh. The poor little PUMA went to Denver & found out what politics really is.
Uh, the, um, I swear, I came back after looking at other stuff & THERE WAS NOTHING HERE!! So I regifted.
But I wasn’t double-dipping, I swear!!
I thought PUMAs had become extinct? Is that 52-48 thing still going on, too? It’s no wonder I don’t go out more.
That was too fun – I didn’t get a damn thing done at work yesterday.
(yo soy Hart88)
She says over and over that she’s not allowed to “talk about” this or that, but isn’t, she, ummm, talking about it? I seem to remember the PUMA’s talking about these issues quite a bit. On CNN, Fox, etc. Ms. Beagle (IF that is your real name), it’s not that you aren’t “talking” about it, it’s that no one is listening. See the difference?
And I have to say this about that Nice Deb blog. I checked it out, and, for the love of the Spaghetti Monster, that is the lamest thing this side of Housewives of OC. This is their BEST!?!
The PUMAs picked Nice Deb because they hate my blog and the only other lib/prog in the category was black and an Obama supporter. But they’re like the real Democrats and stuff apparently. Please consider voting for Rumproast for Best Small Blog. It’ll drive PUMAs insane if their hand-picked wingnut doesn’t win and we have the Wonkette seal of approval.
I have to admit, I don’t understand giving a shit about the Weblog awards. They’re like the Golden Globe awards, only without celebrities or a booze-fueled party.
Kevin,
Done. Good luck.
No booze-fueled party? Screw that!
nicedeb is not so nice. I am voting for all the “correct” people, but only because it pisses off the wingnuts. I still think this award is fershit.
The award is for shit, but it’s fun to fuck with PUMA.
Thank Gaaawwwwd her name wasn’t Jennifer Lynn Basset!
Jeeze, that poor woman is PATHETIC. I know the type–life is hard, people are mean, nothing is ever her fault.
So devoid of any rationality whatsoever. Kinda creepy. This is how Hitler was able to do what he did. Poor Ms. Jenny WALLACE/DUKE Mastiff…

…or whatever the hell her name was…
I just woke up, somewhat literally and most assuredly figuratively. What the fuck is PUMA?
C’mon, won’t someone be like instafuck’s minions or one of Doughy’s fact checkers and tell me what’s the dealio?
Thank you.
Yeah, and how many degrees of separation is a PUMA from Kevin Bacon, anyway?
I’m definitely not voting in this contest. Queen Latifah’s not even listed.

Oh well, another day at the office screwed all to hell.
People United Means Action – Political Action Committee is the PUMA PAC. a Hillary Support Group. Other interpretation = Party Unity, My Ass.
A cougar is an older woman who has at least occasional success hooking up with younger men. Pumas are not so lucky.
I believe the operative term is rich older woman.
Yeah, TBogg, they’re the only ones who can’t let it go.
Digg it!
From that pig of a blog
But that wouldn’t be “cheating” nooooooooo.
This is all baffling. It’s weird over in Tboggland.
Btw, it’s a good thing there isn’t a PUMA category – in which the
cats could fightPUMAs could compete with one another for longest claw and snazziest rawr, because Larry Johnson would surely win.The Blog vrsion of Highlander, “There can be only one”?
That is true, Teddy.
For one thing, they don’t seem to know how to Digg
Tainted toobz or sumfin.

Hussein on teh membrane carps the oompa-loompa de refusés.
I have a bit of a different perspective on the way Wonkette is wielding its ceiling cat-like power. They’re knocking a lot of good blogs out of contention, including the blogs in my own category:
