Wonkette

We would probably drop our inquiry into the personality and background of Son-of-Sam Alito, Phil, were it not so clear that he’s a very cool dude. Is that okay, right-wing blog police? We’re so not calling him gay (though that would make him cooler). His Facebook entry (click to enlarge) suggests a straight (girlfriend!) Simpson’s fan who doesn’t like his picture taken. More to the point, as one reader discovered, his Facebook pals include two students who joined with the ACLU to fight for the right to publish an article about sex in their high school paper. Were they allowed to come to dinner? MORE »

We’ve received some, er, negative feedback regarding our in-depth investigation into the clan of would-be SCOTUS Samuel Alito. Most of it alleges that we here at Wonkette would not bear the glare of the spotlight so easily ourselves:

I’m sure that there are plenty of websites that would love to feature your face or even some television stations that would love to see you. I can even give you the names of some, my favorite for you would obviously be uglypeople.com.

Indeed.

All this and we haven’t even called anyone gay. Yet.
