SC SENATE CAUCUS COMM. DIR. HITS THE TOWN IN STAR TREK UNIFORM
The late-night Thursday premier of the latest “Star Trek” film brought out the inner “Klingon” in loyal Trekkies everywhere.
Thousands turned out across the world to see the 11th film in the series. The truly devoted fans, however, left the plain clothes at home and dressed as their favorite Star Trek characters.
And so it was for South Carolina political operative Wesley Donehue, who donned a gold and black Star Trek uniform from “The Next Generation” and boldly went where millions had gone before… the movie theater.
Donehue, who serves as the communications director for the South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus, posted three photos of he and his “hot Vulcan wife” in their Trekkie garb prior to the film. Donehue bragged on Twitter, “What? You thought I was joking?”
The irony of using Twitter to post photos dressed in a Star Trek outfit was lost on no one.
“What a f—— Tri Lamb,” said one South Carolina politico, referencing the 1984 comedy Revenge of the Nerds. “Nerd!”
Donehue apparently experienced a similar result when he went to Wild Wing Cafe.
“Why do people look at you funny when you where a Star Trek uniform in Wild wings?” Donehue asked on Twitter.
I think there are probably more than a few folks who could help him answer that question.
Adam,
Some friendly advice for you on this great Friday:
1) reach around, place hands firmly on stick, and
2) remove stick from butt.
You know McFogle, I’m actually with you on this.
Given how little the Senate Republican Caucus is actually doing for this state, it comes as no surprise that Wes is playing ‘look at me’ on Twitter and his other multimedia platforms.
Out of curiosity, is there a razor that helps Wes keep that two day growth going?
Excellent. I wore my uniform to see Star Trek at the IMAX in Charleston today. You know what???? They gave me a free popcorn.
Wesley, you rock!!!!!
Adam,
Is this what you call breaking news? If Donehue put it on his Twitter, was he really trying to hide it? I’ve got no problem with your entertainment section, but this is lame.
Post something on PayDay loans, or a pic of Sanford at his millionaire beach pad saying he’s in touch with the common folk, but this bores me.
Donehue is doing his thing when it comes to new media, you aren’t off to a bad start yourself but this brings you down a notch. Let’s keep it real and focused, not lame and boring.
R.C.
R.C is right. This is lame.
Wesley’s stupid humor is a breath of fresh air when the rest of you bloggers are busy throwing crap at each other.
Wesley, if you’re reading this, keeping doing your thing. It’s stupid but its funny. I’m all about it.
Scoop Dog – believe it or not, its really okay to put all the politics aside and just go have fun for the evening. Some friends said I wouldn’t do this and I had to prove them wrong. I’m a geek. Never have tried to hide it.
Mike Honcho – I’ve told you before…I have a George Michael setting on my razor.
RC – you’re 100% correct sir. I never put anything on the web without fully understanding that someone will use it.
Justin – I didn’t get anything for free except some high fives, a few claps, and some funny looks.
And speaking of being a nerd…what does one call the guy blogging about the twittering Trekkie? Welcome to the club Fogle. I’m going to see Wolverine tonight. I’ll dress up as Gambit if you dress up as Sabretooth?
