The D.C. version of Gawker has been launched. It’s called “Wonkette“. Could this mean Washington is the next New York? Don’t hold your breath, but I was wondering that after the recent blog-meme-burst about “hipsters”. (See here, here, and here.)

Wonkette’s going to have some catching up to do after the meteoric success of Swamp City, which I notice is graciously linked-to. The word on the street is there might even be cooperation between the two sites. God bless ‘em. This city needs as much help as it can get. D.C. is a town populated by valedictorians, class presidents, and prom-queen runner-ups who all want to be president, TV anchorpersons, or, worse yet, “work in policy”. It’s also full of bloggers.

UPDATE: It didn’t take long for this post to make it to the “what they’re saying about Wonkette” column on that site’s front page. She sure has figured out the formula: castigate the pols and pundits, but stroke the bloggers’ egos. Except John Marshal; he gets made fun of.
