<i>But I was lured back a few months later, promised more money than I had ever made, and being morally weak I accepted the offer and got back on the Wonkette.</i>

Much as Samuel Clemens started out in western newspapers before he became novelist Mark Twain so Ken Layne helmed Wonkette before he became novelist Ken Layne.
