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.

Her greatest contribution to the blogosphere was 'washingtonienne' a diary about a brat giving oral to politicians. Yes I should take her seriously!

I have checked out her site a few times but will never do that again.
She is a disgusting, dirty-minded wh*re. I don't get why she is a media favorite.

The answer is contained in your observation.

Remember that in the twisted minds of the liberal glitterati it is not the guilt of the accused but the seriousness of the charges that matters.

Because she is a younger and not yet as successful reflection of themselves?

So maybe bloggers should tturn their attention on Bernie's Nannygate ... if there is a nanny.
Anyone know the nanny's name?
Wonkette reflects the Washington culture ... both sides of the partisan spectrum.
