Ouch!
Why am I wincing in pain? Because Wonkette has bitten our steez and now I think I need a tetanus shot.
Well, I guess this means that we're more influential than Flava Flav and Jeff Gannon (possibly combined). But you knew that. Of course, we in turn ripped off the New York Press, which allegedly took the idea from yet somewhere else. Perhaps we all have an important role to play in this wonderful circle of life.
Or, alternately, Wonketteers have just proven to be as lazy as we said they were.

I think the "Most Loathsome" format was originally done by the Buffalo Beast, where one of the NY Press writers was in charge until he jumped ship. The Beast has continued to publish annual "50 Most Loathsome People in America" lists, but they don't compare to the originally (and sadly unavailable on the Web) 2003 version.
Also, the Wonkette list is fucking terrible. That woman — or the intern who wrote it — is a disgrace to the dearly departed Suck.
