You read and decide:

    Enjoy yourself today, Trig. Have fun! Get drunk (on purpose this time)! We can hardly wait for 15 years from now, when you will finally be able to vote and will be sent off by your mother’s junta to fight the Union in the Great Alaska War. It’ll be quite a loss. You’re the smartest one in that family.

Wonkette has since removed this disgrace, however its advertisers are in full bail mode:

I had to look it up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonkette

Quote
Wonkette is a left-leaning American online magazine of topical satire and political gossip, edited by Ken Layne since 2006. Established in 2004 by Gawker Media and founding editor Ana Marie Cox, it details the goings-on of the political establishment in Washington, DC and the U.S.

Taking a sarcastic tone, the site focuses heavily on humorous breaking news, rumors, and the downfall of the powerful. It also deals with serious matters of politics and policy. While liberal in outlook, the site is critical of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.

The name of the site is a play on the slang word wonk, meaning a 'zealous student of political policy'

Nice, he even threw in a "those people".  Amusing Guido, Queen of throwing up the "never go full retard video" posted this.  It doesn't appear like they are punishing the writer or firing them.  Guess I will have to go back to not going to the site.
