Wonkette Services the Debate (takes a dig at blogs and FR for breaking Rathergate)
Little Green Footballs ^ | 12.20.04

Posted on 12/20/2004 7:01:44 PM PST by mhking

Courtesy of Newsweek, mainstream media’s pet blogger Wonkette takes a cute little slap at the bloggers who broke the Dan Rather fraud story: Fast Chat: The Wonkette.

What did you think of the bloggers’ role in the Dan Rather affair?
I think they did a disservice to the debate because they made the debate about the documents and not about the president of the United States. There was another half to that story that had to do with verifiable events of what Bush may have been up to.

While blogs like LGF were doing a “disservice to the debate” by exposing phony documents used to influence a presidential election, Wonkette was servicing the debate by speculating often about the size of John Kerry’s reproductive organ, and by trumpeting bogus exit poll results to the world on election day.

A real class act. You can see why she gets so much coverage in the MSM.

It's the seriousness of the charge, doncha know? Not the fact that the charge is part of a frudulent, crimminal, scam, to try to influence the outcome of the election. Clear as a bell, Sherlock.

That applies as well.

It's a pity, she could be so much more than she is.

Read the quote, and you'll see some mighty fine Birkenstockspeak. Pelosi would be proud! I'll save you kind people some searching: "I think they did a disservice to the debate because they made the debate about the documents and not about the president of the United States." The greatest buncombe was See BS saying that the documents were fake but true. Hey, See BS, please keep schilling for the gimmicrats.

Well, I wouldn't decline an advance from either Wonkette or Washingtonienne. Both are good-looking.

You have most likely seen very flattering photos of Ana Marie Cox (Wonkette), and not the ones I have seen. No photograph makes her look as coquettish and mysterious as her caricature on her front page. Especially not this photo:

As for "Washingtonienne" -- she is a worth a double take, but gets worse looking the closer you get -- note the arcing creases in her face a la Homer Simpson. There are hotter women in my workplace.

And my God, whatta whore! In defense of Bimbo Hall of Famer Monica Lewinsky, she at least had starry-eyed immature high school junior ideas about love and sex, following her high school drama teacher to Oregon and all that. I don't think Monica ever thought about how many bucks per lay she could squeeze out of White House hotshots to supplement her meager $25K salary.

If you wouldn't turn down an advance from this gruesome twosome, you really need to raise your standards. (If anything, think about how a roll in the hay with Cox would put you where the dude in the green shirt has been -- that's her husband.)

It's the seriousness of the charge, not the quality of the evidence. Silly.

Dear Sir,

I am a well-known whore-monger, and I take great exception to being compared to Wonkette.

Please retract immediately, and can I borrow your cell phone to get a "date" tonight?
Yours Truly,

Laz
