Three Things I Learned From the NYT Profile of Wonkette

1. While working at The American Prospect, editor Ana Marie Cox coined the now-commonplace nickname “Crazy Bob,” in reference to editor Robert Kuttner.

2. The Drudge Report is “notoriously unreliable” (no way!), and

3. Wonkette’s dog is bigger than she is.

At any rate, like most Times blog stories this one sucked, completely missing the point of the Wonkette phenomenon while implicitly accusing Cox of dishonesty (NZ Bear has more). If I’d never heard of Wonkette and then read this story, I’d think the blog were awful, when in fact it’s one of the best.
