WWE Welcomes Jane Hamsher to Writing Team!

Posted in W.W.E. on December 19th, 2006

WWE pulled out all the stops for the three hour Raw spectacular, including announcing the identity of the new writer responsible for such refreshing character concepts as Umaga and Cryme Tyme. A stunned audience learned that none other then “liberal” activists and former Ned Lamont toady Jane Hamsher had been writing story lines for the company for several months.

Insider’s claim that WWE management liked her “nuanced” take on race and gender in America. “She’s just really in touch with the American Id, you know?” one source said to this reporter in a phone interview. “I mean she produced, like, Natural Born killers and From Hell, like both were about the American mind, so you know she gets it.”

It should be noted that From Hell was set in 19th century London.

Hamsher’s centerpiece for the Raw extravaganza, a skit involving Cryme Tyme where a Bush impersonator comes to the ring and, among other things, refers to Secretary of State Rice as a “hot black bitch” was much lauded by higher ups, who wanted an edgier, more political feel to the show because, as our man on the inside puts it, “they think this is where the country is”. Our long time informant has in fact turned in his resignation to WWE, in part due to the direction the writing staff was taking.

During a phone call to our office he stated, “I can’t put my name on a product that’s so outragously racist. I’m done”.

WWE management on the other hand is elated with Hamsher’s work and the writer’s new direction. “Like, we’ve got a character based on Joe Lieberman, and he’s going to be in all these like extreme matches, but, and this is where you really, like, see how great Jane is, like he’s going to take all the blood from his opponent and make Matzos! Like, It’s edgy and original, and you know America is ready for it”.

Congratulations Jane!
