What Is Wonkette?

If you look over to your right there, you will see the official description of Wonkette (the one our boss wrote): "Wonkette is an online roundup of gossip from Washington, DC and the US political arena."

It's hard to believe you could actually fall asleep reading something so short, no? Here's our version: Wonkette provides an appropriately arch and irrepressibly giddy guide to the American political landscape and the Washington metro area social scene (such as it is). We like recall movements, illegitimate children of senators coming forward after 50 years, wrestler-style wild screams of rage and the endorsement of Dennis Kucinich by Grandfather Twilight (Look it up! It's true!). We also want to hear from you. The Palm: Over-rated or just plain bad? James Carville: A toad or the devil incarnate? Katherine Harris's rack: Fabulous, extraordinary or mouth-watering?

Tips about who's doing what, who's eating where and other items of prurient interest are welcome. Anonymity guaranteed.
