Wonkette Maligned

Poor David Denby. The guy’s clearly not that bright—not only because his new book picks on the truly awesome site Wonkette, but also because, well, he does it so poorly.

Alright, so we caved. We were at Borders and noticed New Yorker film critic David Denby’s new book, Snark, about how he hates bloggers…We actually bought the book…and were planning to skim for the Wonkette part, giggle, and then give the slender volume away to the nearest hobo.

So, OH MAN. First he references one of your male associate editor’s posts about Chelsea Clinton and suggests that the “young women” who wrote it must have some catty jealousy issues, with their vaginas. Then he writes that we made fun of Ted Kennedy on the day of his brain tumor surgery, citing a post about something else entirely that was written seven months before Kennedy even got cancer. Damn those bloggers, always trying to ruin other peoples’ reputations with false information!
