Marty in Boise, thanks for the comment. I’ll take the blame for that, since i used the generic term “Wonkette” in the post, somewhat incorrectly as you point out.

I realize that this is the worst sort of nitpicking, but Tony Sidaway is a bit off-target–”Wonkette” is the name of the blog only, not the moniker of any of the editors.

Conservapedia has to be a parody. Surely nobody can seriously believe all that carp?

Yes, when the Conservapedia site recovers (apparently it has a database glitchnow ) you can probably see the article and when you click on the history tab you should see who created it. A user called QWest, who is almost certainly *not* a vandal. The version he created is substantially the one Wonkette shows a picture of on her website.

Apparently “The Truthful Encyclopedia” can’t even state the truth about itself.

I can see it either way — parody, self-parody, even out-of-body parody. You can still click on the “Wonkette” link in the first paragraph to see a screen grab of the Conservapedia page as it was.

I clicked the link, and it’s down, replaced with a statement that it was a “parodist/vandal”. I suspect not. Probably someone despairing of the current condition of conservatism did some math and saw hope. Maybe they planned to pray these Democratic senators didn’t complete their terms. The proactive and practical method of achieving such a goal is to dig up the dirt and make them resign in scandal. Otherwise, what else could it propose but assassination? I recall Pat Robertson praying God would remove the liberals form the US Supreme Court. Considering Christian conservatives believe they really can make things happen by praying hard enough, they might have been calling for that.

Of course, considering how Republican government has destroyed conservative ideology and offered a chance for change that wouldn’t have been there otherwise, maybe Christian conservatives are right; God did choose Bush.
