Team Party Crash: The Night I Kissed Wonkette
Visiting Washington DC, to cover the Conservative Political Action Conference for Spot-On, I dropped a note to David Lat and Alex Pareene, the new editors at our sister blog Wonkette, to show them a night out on the town in their new home. That's right, the two new editors of Wonkette are dudes ... and they just moved to DC from New York, so they needed an in-depth indoctrination into the Nation's Capitol's nightlife. Evidence follows after the jump.
Red State guru Mike Krempansky grips and grins the legal-minded half of Wonkette, David Lat. We imagine Krempansky wasn't grinning after he picked up the bill for the blogger cocktails Friday night.
Conservative bloggers, including Little Miss Attila (far right) booze it up at Marquis, the hotel bar of the Omni Shoreham.
If you thought DC's taxi zone system was bad, imagine how we felt when this was the car which arrived to whisk us off to FoodBar DC for dinner.
Wonketter Lat and Boi From Troy still smiling after clearing their plates of stuffed chicken and crabcakes and reminiscing about debating the "Lee Girls" Christina Rodriguez and Allison Tedor back in their High School forensics days.
Following dinner, we walked down R Street to JR's, where upon entering I learned that (allegedly) at least half of Wonkette was (again, allegedly, etc.) living a heterosexualist lifestyle. I would have never known about the Wonketter's alleged tendencies as he never really flaunted his alleged heterosexualism to us, but that's okay. Once inside, JR's was packed and smoky as always, and I went on a mission to find the (again, allegedly) straight Wonketter a woman -- preferably one which would have a cute friend. And found one we did.
As you can imagine, this was the point that the night got a little fuzzy ... but at one point, said woman asked her assembled men whether any of us had kissed a woman. When the obvious next question arose -- who'd kissed a dude, well, we somehow decided it was a good idea that we wouldn't deny the allegedly hetero Wonkette the privilege of knowing what man-on-man liplock was like. Yeah, there are pictures, but in a town that loves scandals as much as Washington, do you think we're going to publish them?!?
