But Wendy has the Order of the Coif. That must count for something, at least at the International Institute for the Cosmetological Sciences.

Let’s be blunt: if you’re willing to admit that you clerked for Clarence Thomas, what wouldn’t you do for $3 million?

And don’t forget noted busybody Bill Donahue of the League of Overly Concerned Catholics. Even the ancient crumbling assholes in the Catholic hierarchy think he’s an asshole.

Compared to these jackasses, Mel Kiper at least turned his hobby into something meaningless, if lucrative.

I’ve consistently offered to be just as much of a lefty nut in exchange for millions of dollars…
Offer’s still on the table…anyone?

Yeah, why can’t we have something like wingnut welfare? Those guys have it made.

As the executive director of the Institute of Left Wing Sinecures, I’d like to offer you $3 million to be a Senior Fellow of the Institute. Your duties will consist of producing uninformed commentary on any known subject, appearing frequently on TV with loud opinions, and being consulted by Richard Cohen a lot. You can use the microwave in the breakroom any time you like. You start as soon as Mr. Soros has completed his interview with you.

Wendy has tremendous upside as a wingnut. She shows an uncanny ability to appear rational (not calling for a filibuster for a nominee) while still hitting her Republican talking points in the open. On top of that, she is money when it comes to raising money. She’s someone who could work her way into a starting wingnut position if she can find the right system for her talents.

I think Wendy got bounced from K&E for inadequate blowj-, I mean “legal skills not equal to the Manhattan market.” I also think she got reichwing funding once she decided to swallow rather than spit. Wonder why she didn’t mention time on the Dartmouth Review? Was she a (spitting) cheerleader there instead?

According to the manly Mr. Biscuitbarrel, if Wendy Long has been out of work for four years after washing out at Kirkland & Ellis, that spells u-n-e-m-p-l-o-y-a-b-l-e. Unless she wants to hang out a shingle with The Strip Mall Law Office of Ben Shapiro. (Fortunately, Mr. B doesn’t bill me for his advice. Quid pro quo, as they say…)

She made partner so she either committed some huge offense or, more likely, decided to do the mommy track, which would fit in with the Long laundry room locale for the JCN.

Hey, if anyone is interested, the JCN has collected a nice, um, collection of wingnut articles from 2005 on the abuse of filibustering of judicial nominees. I’m sure all of these people will be consistent in their earlier stance when it is time to vote for Obama’s candidates:

Would that be an earlier wide stance? [snort]

She previously served as a press secretary in the U.S. Senate, for…former U.S. Senator Gordon Humphrey (R-N.H.).

Hey, that tells me everything I need to know about the lady. Ol’ Gordo was the wackiest in a long line of truly insane elected officials from the Granite State.

She attended Schoolcraft College and the University of Detroit, and resides in Livonia, Michigan, with her husband, Terry, and is the mother of two grown daughters.

We have a winner! A wingnut has lowered the bar below Newt “Close Cover Below Striking” College Assitant with Refuse Removal Duties Gingrich. I do hope the twentifirst century evolution entails minimal intellectual skills.

Don’t understand why she’d want to promote that she’s Order of the Queef. Should probably see a doctor about that.

Those are some of the worst graphics I’ve ever seen. Appropriate for the content, I suppose.

I just noticed: the “Judicial Confirmation Network” is so current and up-to-date, they have a picture in their header of the Supreme Court–when there were still two females on it.

The Wendy Long Wingnut Welfare Nameplate Organization apparently isn’t a nonprofit — at least, there’s no entry on Guidestar — so there’s no formal fundraising body. I’d like to know exactly where those donations are headed, and I’m sure the IRS would agree. SourceWatch has more: the arrangement is more convoluted and intriguing here than most wingnut welfare 501(c)(3) or (c)(4) operations.

No matter what, it’s just some official-sounding name they made up so she can show up as something other than “Wendy Long, random wingnut without a day job.”

It’s funny how so many “two people, a laundry-room office and a maildrop” operations seem to run on about $3m a year and give their head honchos six figure salaries. There are tons of them — I look at the tax forms and see the same ballpark donation numbers all the time. There’s a book to be written on the legal money laundering that goes on here: the orgs pop up for an election or a single-issue campaign and go dormant, then come back with a fresh injection of Scaife-juice.
