The Politburo Diktat

Does This Font Make My Blog Look Fat?

WONKETTE SPEAKS!!! COMMISSAR EXCLUSIVE!!!! MUST CREDIT COMMISSAR!!!! THE WONKETTE INTERVIEW!!!!!

The Politburo Diktat recently interviewed Wonkette, doyen of DC dirt.

KGB: I'm really honored, being just a small blogger and all, that you would spend some time on this.
Wonkette: Book deal!
KGB: Uh ... gee thanks, but my blog is just a faux Commie schtick, satirical, mostly about politics and war and news, with an occasional picture of a pretty girl thrown in. It wouldn't have a large audience.
Wonkette: Book deal!
KGB: I don't think so.
Wonkette: Do you write a lot about anal sex?
KGB: No.
Wonkette: K-Y Jelly?
KGB: Nope.
Wonkette: Godiva Chocolate balls?
KGB: Godiva Chocolate balls???
Wonkette: Don't ask. ... Look, I could get you fired, and we could take it from there. How does that sound?
KGB: No, no, no. I kinda wanted to interview about your blog, blogging in general, its relationship to established media, and so forth ..
Wonkette: Bush is gay.

KGB: Some have accused you of writing empty-headed, witless prattle.
Wonkette: Does this font make my blog look fat?
KGB: How would you characterize your blog?
Wonkette: No Comment. No Comment. No Comment.
KGB: Any thoughts on why Kerry hasn't taken off, given all of Bush's evident weaknesses?
Wonkette: Book deal!
KGB: Hmmm. ... Okay ... Let's talk about blogging. Who are some of your favorite bloggers?
Wonkette: Drezhner, Volokh, Yglesias, Yourish.
KGB: Why them?
Wonkette: Boring blogs, funny names. Can't go wrong.
KGB: Given your recent emergence as an A-list bogger, do you see yourself replacing Glenn Reynolds?
Wonkette: Heh. Indeed. ... Sure, he's so-o-o-o two years ago. He hasn't merely jumped the shark, he is was the shark. Just as soon as I perfect my own catch phrases and my own niche high-tech topic. ... By the way, exactly what IS Nanotechnology?

KGB: You keep saying that the Washingtonienne story is over, but you keep covering it. Even Rasputin eventually died. What gives?
Wonkette: Book deal!
KGB: You ARE trying to bury it, aren't you?
Wonkette: Trust me! I am. More and more. Every day.
KGB: Why are you trying to bury the Jessica Cutler story? That's like Woodward trying to bury Watergate.
Wonkette: I love your blue eyes. $350.
KGB: Seriously, you should be doing twice daily Washingtonienne updates.
Wonkette: Your uniform is so distinguished. $275.
KGB: But the world wants the hear more about Jessica Cutler.
Wonkette: Think about this. Two perfectly rounded beachballs, smooth and silky, dotted with the finest, tiniest, whitest downiest hair. $195.
KGB: Yeah, okay. ... uh .. Look, some feel that your glorification of sex-for-money has set women back 20 years.
Wonkette: Really, don't be mistaking me for someone who ...

KGB: What about blogging and its relationship with established media?
Wonkette: Lieby.
KGB: Do you think blogging has a future, as a worthwhile source of information
Wonkette: I'm planning a three-part post on "Inferences of penis size from photos of wrinkled pants." Very high tech stuff, using lots of ... um... nanotechnology ... er .. stuff ... and techniques! Yes, yes, that's it. "using lots of nanotechnology techniques." You can quote me on that.
KGB: There seem to be a lot of server issues on Wonkette.
Wonkette: Really, don't be mistaking me for someone who ...
KGB: Can I quote you on that?
Wonkette: Does Nick Denton read your blog?
KGB: I doubt it.
Wonkette: Go right ahead.
KGB: Any advice for new bloggers, just starting out?
Wonkette: Email! Book deal!
KGB: On that note, I think we'll wrap it up.
Wonkette: I know a lot of people, literary agents, PR types, ...
KGB: Thanks very much, Ana Marie Cox.
Wonkette: ... advertisers, publishers, Kato Kaelin, sports marketing reps, ...
KGB: It's been a pleasure.
Wonkette: ... journalists, editors, copier salesmen ...
