This is getting old
By now, you should know that Wonkette isn't that much of a wonk. Frankly, if a bum isn't involved, it's beyond her area of expertise. To wit:
"We're still trying to figure out how the Republicans managed to make New York -- normally a city a that vibrates with energy -- into a soul-sucking void. (If we could harness that power, we wouldn't need to drill in ANWAR.)"
Ugh. I assume she's speaking of the Arctic National Wildilfe Refuge, or ANWR (pronounced "anwar" but never spelled that way). She may change it later, and I'd have made a screen capture were I at home (I'm not), so you just have to take my word on it.
And yes, yes, she was drunk. She must really drink a lot. There was another, but I wasn't able to catch it fast enough for a screen cap -- she called N.J. Gov. Jim McGreevey (D) a Republican just as his little scandal was breaking, then changed it without noting that a correction had been made. Real classy.

You might be interested to know that Ana Marie Cox, aka "Wonkette," commenced her move to NYC last weekend, where her husband Chris Lehmann is a newly appointed features editor at Adam Moss's "New York."
She's apparently going to do "Wonkette" from New York, but doesn't seem too keen on sharing this neat trick with anyone.
So to answer the question of whether "Wonkette" can get any lamer: quite so. Since it won't even be written by a Washingtonian anymore . . .

It IS off-topic, but what do you thank about Super Tuesday?
