OMG...I'm totally blogging this!!!

Ok, so if I have the demo(graphic) of this site right, it's prolly mostly friends and friends of friends etc around SF. I know there's prolly a few ppl signing in from Uzbekistan, Jamaica Queens, and obviously the greater Milpitas area...but I digress. If you're already familiar with Wonkette, the infamous beltway blogger, then all this will probably be old news. But since there are quite a few readers who are new to the cyber-crack that is blogging, this is where the story begins.....

I guess I shouldn't be extremely shocked that D.C. has its share of bloggers. Outside of 5th period Home Economics, I don't know of a greater concentration of people who love to dish about any and everything. Add in the fact that a good amount of the demo on the hill gets refreshed with young interns and aspiring politicos every year serving some of the most rich and powerful people in the country, sometimes the world, and things just heat up. I've always sort of likened D.C. to Hollywood...scores of people showing up everyday, fresh and delusional, thinking that they too will truly change the world. And, at times, these people ultimately end up disillusioned, broke and sleeping with everyone...only in D.C. you don't talk about who you sleep with...one of those uptight east coast things I guess, I dunno...

Anyway, to the point, get to the point.....So Wonkette runs a political blog out of D.C., if you haven't checked it out, you should, it's good stuff. So one day at work, somehow during an internet trawl session (hey you don't think this content comes out of nowhere), or an IM session with a friend she happens upon this blog by a person named Washingtonienne with all kinds of stories describing all kinds of nutty sex with, well, basically everyone... The full archive of Washingtonienne's blog can be found here.

(Now I guess it's a good time to point out that here is where Washingtonienne's blog is located. During the process of time where her blog was discovered and then became all the technorati rage, it was deleted. In the past few days, the site has shown up again, only it's sort of impossible to know if it's the same person, they definitely don't seem to be writing  with the same intent.)

So, Washingtonienne's is just emoting away using initials I guess to protect the innocent, but dropping enough hints so her close friend's know what's going on....granted, being a slut's no crime and I've know girls in my life that would make this girl look like the mother Teresa...but it' pretty amazing this girl has the tee's to post that her income (of 25K) is getting subsidized by having ass-sex with a high ranking Bush-appointed official. Along with the other boys she is or isn't calling back, or fucking, etc. I guess a phone call to a close friend wasn't good enough...i dunno.

So meanwhile, Wonkette, is in full on blog mode writing about everything that pops up....she's chipping away at different parts of this blog in a parallel universe online....Washingtonienne has listed enough details that Wonkette's even able to piece together a possible suspects list. All pictured are shitting thier pants royally, I'm sure. Soon, after all this goes down, Washingtonienne get's fired, confirming that she is probably a real person and this probably did happen. (Hey folks it's the internet..distrust everyone.)

So, I was tinkering with the idea of writing about this last week when the whole situation was quite hot, but then Washingtonienne vanished so I couldn't see much use in any mention. After all, no one's sure she's real. I mean the idea that you have this crazy situation of parallel live going on, on person carrying like there's not a problem in the world and the other trying every way they can to find this girl out makes for quite the modern day drama. So, I thought all the relevence was gone and had scrapped the idea.....

Then Wonkette turns up today with an entry and and interview with Washingtonienne!!! I guess the mental picture from the article that's the wildest to me is this girl working away at her desk and then one of her co-workers prints out a page from Wonkette's website and walks over and hands it to her...talk about a moment that changes everything.

So you can check out all the links, etc and get caught up on the news, so when the Washington Post finally gets around to running their story, you an reflect on how different the internet makes the way we get our news in the world....or you can just use that section to line the dog cage first...
