Letter From the Editors: Don’t Cry For Me, Anacostia
Friday, June 30th, 2006
I’ve had my picture taken with Katherine Harris — in matching outfits, no less. My work here is done.
Greetings. It’s David Lat, one of your two editors here at Wonkette. And just like Star Jones, another ex-prosecutor-turned-sassy-personality, I’m using this week to say good-bye — at least for now.
As is usually the case, the gossip is true. I’m leaving the wild ‘n wacky world of politics, which I’ve enjoyed blogging about for the past five months, to return to my first love: the law. Not the practice of it, but writing about it; I’m going back to the legal blogosphere, from whence I came. Having spent a truckload of dough earnin’ a fancy law school degree, as well as several years in legal practice, I figure I might as well put it all to some productive use (with “productive” loosely defined).
The full details, plus teary farewells, after the jump (or just click here, then scroll down).
A self described surly old bastard writes us today, moved by concern for an item mentioned in our Daily Briefing: “The first dog to walk on the Senate floor dies. Is this a warning or a news item?”
