« Yes, we're going to a party party | Main | Fundamental political change » Wonkette goes mud-wrestlingThe witless new Wonkette (supposedly an attorney named David Lat, and I wanna know why they didn't change the name of the blog to "Wonk") is no fun, and even worse, he (she? it?) is into posting smears, tossing mud and muck at "Red State" Democrat Mark Warner, rumored to be considering a presidential bid. Maybe the Wonk (who blogged formerly as "Article III Groupie" at Underneath Their Robes, likes to sling mud for exercise (Ana Marie says she left Wonkette because she was tired of sitting), or maybe he's partisan. It could be, though, that he's trying to clear the way for the presidential race of his dreams: I have a weakness for dramatic, intriguing figures, and strong, powerful, brilliant women. So my favorite Bush administration official is Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and my favorite senator is Hillary Rodham Clinton. If Hillary and Condi ever face each other in some race -- for example, a presidential race, as Dick Morris has fantasized about -- I will pretty much drop dead from sheer excitement.It could also be that co-Wonk Alex Pareene is the maker of mud; he says "I was pretty convinced we were degrading the discourse," though not referring to this specific puddle of mud. jon posted this at 3:25 PM |
