Wankette

Scraping news out of such respectable sources as the New York Post, Wonkette claims to have the "inside tip". The only 'inside' part of it, is where she hides to work on her blog, skimming websites for her 'sensitive information'. Every post is spare and reads like a grocery list of links with the tiniest blurb here and there ripped from "the source". The sources? New York Times, Washington Post and the Washington Times are her main troughs from which she laps up a sentence or two for her gossip column. In case if you don't buy Wonkette's transparent effort, a side bar reels with qoutes to hype it up so that you might be influenced. Well, if The Nation or Richard Leiby said so, then it must be true. Amidst solipsistic plugging for its publisher's blog, Wonkette plods along with her one-liner attention span. Hope the pay is good enough for the phony posturing and tiresome partisan bashing (especially considering the weak sources). Read about her superficial platform and discredit in the New York Times (I suppose she's happy she just made it in the news), where her boss, Mr. Denton, passes on these words of wisdom: ""Besides, immediacy is more important than accuracy, and humor is more important than accuracy."

Have you considered entitling one of your posts "Wanker" and reviewing your own self-important ass-dribblings? Just wondering.

This sentence doesn't make any sense:

"New York Times, Washington Post and the Washington Times are her main troughs from which she laps up one sentence her gossip."

Consider getting your syntax straight before you use $10 words like "solipsistic," dud. Er...I mean, Dude.

Ten dollars? Is that what it costs you? Too bad you don't have enough money. You sound a little sore about your wankette; go cry on someone else's shoulder.
Thanks for proofreading a post, seems like you have plenty of time on your hands.
