WONKETTE WHO?

January 12, 2006 by Jan Herman

WONKETTE HO!P.J. O’Rourke writes in his review of “Dog Days,” the new novel by Ana Marie Cox:

Ana Marie Cox made her name writing a political blog, Wonkette.com. I’ve never seen it. As far as I can tell, no one has. Admitting reading political blogs is like admitting watching daytime TV.

Christopher Buckley writes in his review:

I don’t spend much time in the old blogosphere myself, and to be honest hadn’t clicked onto Wonkette until now.

We have three reactions: Who are these guys? Where have they been hiding? And they forgot to say, “Heh, heh.”
