Introducing Slenderella

Bigger Fatter Politics is proud to announce the addition of another contributor and reporter. Ladies and gentlemen fatlings thinlings and inbetweenlings meet Slenderella. Due to jealous angry fat people gunning down reporters Slenderalla has requested that she remain anonymous. Only I, Fat Bastardo, know her true identity.

The abstemious Slenderella will be bringing a sharp edged acumen to Bigger Fatter Politics that is often lacking in the often maladroit mainstream media reporting. Her straight forward and balanced tenor is the cornerstone of Bigger Fatter Politics and this is why we have her on staff.

While interviewing Slenderella and after my boner subsided and the blood rushed back from my dick to my brain some meticulous Latinity came into my brain with the phrase compos mentis which means mentally sound. Once again I was on the verge of losing my composure but luckily I got and urgent call from the Chef who is working on a Black lives matter report and I was able to keep my cool and impress Slenderella. With that I shook her hand and welcomed her to the Bigger Fatter Politics family.


Slenderella: Hotter than any Fox propagandist. 

Like our other slender female reporter, Miss Jenna Talia, Slenderella has also been a victim of terrorist attacks and threats by angry jealous fat girls as well as unwanted sexual advances from fat feminists man-hating lesbians so for that reason we are keeping her true identity hidden.
