Wonkette, etc.
INDC Journal asks us to de-link Wonkette. Tricky. I rely on the InstaPundit to read her for me so have never linked in the first place. INDC Journal's ire inspired me to look if only for curiosity's sake and I begin to understand the popularity of Wonkette. I mean, we are not made of stone.
And then... Wizbang has more details.
And then... I was about to say "I'll pose nude for fifty bucks." Then I remembered some people around here have a sense of humour. Ahem. This update comes via Gawker (with a hat tip to Mondo Sismondo).

You don't really have to delink Wonkette, I was just making a bit of a point ... but I'm curious about your newly found enjoyment of her site - specifically, what do you mean about being made of stone? And what do you enjoy?
If I interpret this correctly, I think you misunderstand some of my ire ... mean, have you looked at my site lately? It's not Proust.

PS - not being a ballbuster, I''m actually really curious ...

Good Lord man, look at her! ;)
(Maybe you had to see my Pre-Raphaelite Week at the Flea™ to know about my obsession with ethereal redheads.)

I never really understood the lasting appeal of Wonkette (Ana Marie Cox). She writes in a light, breezy style, reminiscent of high school girl-diaries (or People magazine). It's amusing but too fluffy for me.
She's clearly very intelligent, but I'm just not a fan of her Beltway-as-Gilmore Girls style. I prefer my D.C. inside baseball to be laden with irrelevant policy details, not gossipy social details.

To borrow Rue's turn of phrase, I didn't think her overbite was prominent enough to qualify for your Pre-Raphaelite squad. =)

UNDERbite, rather.
Posted by: Chris Taylor at May 26, 2004 11:34 AM
I had forgotten the underbite incident. I shudder to think what Rue will have to say about this latest...

Hmmmm ...
A. I guess we have different taste in women. Those two are good by DC standards, but I'd rather come to Ghost of A Flea and gander a look at the boogie pimps.
B. "reminiscent of high school girl-diaries"
EXACTLY.

click click click click click..... I followed the links and there is not an 'ethereal redhead' in sight. Although the mannish FAKE washed out'strawberry blonde', left me concerned for the Flea.

Wait a second, Most of my readership is made up of ethereal redheads.
Although, as Chris has pointed out, a prominent 'underbite' is the hallmark of a true pre-Raphaelite specimen.
This provides me with a project. I love projects.

This is why I keep my coffee well away from the keyboard.
