Facts are stupid things

Whoa. Looks like David Denby’s new book, “Snark,” gets the stuff about Wonkette right only to the extent that he properly spells Wonkette.

    With all due respect, the Wonkette piece looks to me like a bad column about a bad book.

    Bill: Wonkette is an acquired taste at best, but certainly it shows that Denby didn’t do his homework.

    Dan, certainly true, and there’s a bit of condescension in Denby that’s a put-off too.

    Snark is protected by the First Amendment; you might as well complain about the wind.Wonkette correctly dates its Teddy article; end of story on that aspect.Denby’s book correctly includes Wonkette’s clumsy misspelling of the cliche Taxachusetts.Other than fact-checking, this doesn’t make me any more interested in reading either site.
