ALL OF THIS IS FACTUAL TRUTH: “So thank fucking christ that the Commander in Chief is no longer subjecting the nation to death porn. No, this year it’s limited to a nutty little cult leader on basic cable who is encouraging his radicalized band of fanatical followers to invade the cities where the tragedy actually happened in order to shock the populace back into fear. Glenn Beck is an actual terrorist, and the people attending his rally in DC tomorrow are al-Qaeda in America.” [Alex Pareene]











ALUMNI REPORT: Original Wonkette editor Ana Marie Cox (Class of ‘04-’06) and editor-after-that Alex Pareene (Class of ‘06-’07) have exciting new programming you should know about: Ms. Cox now hosts the Air America radio show 
CHECKING IN WITH FORMER WONKETTE EDITOR ALEX PAREENE: It is just like the old days when Pareene & Layne would spend Election Nights typing horrible things to each other over G-Chat. But this time, it’s apparently about John Edwards refusing to ever concede to anyone, because of the Mill, and Pareene works for Gawker in New York.
So, as most everyone knows, Alex Pareene
Never met Pareene. Never spoken to him, in person or on the phone. We only ever sent short messages via gchat, exclusively, because nobody else uses gchat so you don’t get bothered. Never had any substantive conversation regarding Wonkette or anything work-related beyond constant complaining about the company and its terrible broken technology. We only ever had one single goal: to move Wonkette to blogspot. Oh, and to quit. [
