This just isn’t right. First Ezra Klein subs for Wonkette, and now Glenn Reynolds…why not PZ Myers? Am I too pervy for them? Or was it the lack of wonk?

This just isn’t right. First Ezra Klein subs for Wonkette, and now Glenn Reynolds…why not PZ Myers? Am I too pervy for them? Or was it the lack of wonk?
Why would any serious blogger want to associate himself with Wonkette?
She gets a huge amount of traffic, for one thing.
But otherwise, yeah, Wonkette is not a site I read much. I guess I’m not wonky enough.
That is what her site is all about, right? Detailed analysis of government policy?
You don’t post enough about anal sex, PZ, and are therefore disqualified right out of the gate.
(Neither does Reynolds, of course, but being an asshole and a dickhead both he’s personifies the topic.)
stupid keyboard’s.
Now what was that nice boy Ezra doing over there, then?
Off-topic: you may be interested in this cephalopodacious photo (and the t-shirt vendor linked from there).
What a perfect place for that disgusting toad Reynolds. Finally he’s reached his true level.
I’m guessing that’s a private matter between him and Ms. Cox.
I read it when I’m bored at work. There’s not much “Detailed analysis” like you’d find over at American Prospect’s blog, Wonkette is more like the New York Post’s Page 6, she just puts rumors and stuff on there, posts about things that go on in Washington around their normal business of lying, cheating and taking bribes for a living. The Wonkette site is part of a series of snotty rumor sites which really only exist to speed my journey from 9 to 5.
Yes, of course PZ is too dignified for Wonkette. I agree with the comparison to Page 6. It definitely represents what is most wrong with political reporting and blogging–turning it into a game, laughing at the antics of Washington insiders, and behaving as if finding an ironic perspective justifies letting everything go to crap around you while you don’t lift a hand to help.
Why, does Wonkette get much more traffic than Pharyngula’s 12,000 visits per day?
Too pervy for Wonkette?
Also, I don’t get the ongoing idea behind the site. I thought Ana Marie Cox=Wonkette was the whole idea. But she’s not blogging any more. Why does the site live on?
