Gawker gay media mogul Nick Denton waxing eloquent in his press release heralding the spin-off of three of the Empire's blogs: "Wonkette is one of the brands with which the company is most associated; people will be shocked that we would ever part with it. The political site has won an array of Bloggies and other awards; it introduced the word ass-fucking into the dictionary of political abuse; the founding editor's slippers are even on display in the new media museum in Washington, DC. "
Reported by rival blog empire Mediabistro's Fishbowl NY
Wonkette catapulted creator Ana Marie Cox to media fame and fortune. Cox rocked the blogosphere with Suck.com before divining the foul Wonkette. TIME mag hired her with great hopes; alas she's been downgraded to a website "contributor." Miz Ana still gets face time as a "political analyst" on cable Tee Vee.
