If You're Going to Swipe a Premise, Please, Dearheart, Do Something With It

Ace of Spades, July 1: Nick Denton's Newest Blog, the Sassy, Jew-Hatin' Jihadette

Wonkette, July 2: Iraquienne

And that title is used to make this lame joke:

A favorite bit: Saddam's contention that invading Kuwait was justified because "[t]hey were trying to turn Iraqi women into prostitutes for just [ten dinars]." We're dying to know what the counter-offer was, and if it included a book deal.

Odd. Wonkette wasn't calling Jessica Cutler a whore previously. She was previously quite generous about Ms. Cutler's, errm, talents and accomplishments.

My gossip-hungry interns Nicholas and Troi want to know: How did Jessica Cutler go from "talented and funny writer" to "ten-dollar whore" in three weeks?

Has there been a falling out between the faux-lesbians? Is envy eating at Wonkette? (If so: Welcome to the party.) Or is Wonkette's newfound judgmentalism somehow related to Cutler's failure to hire her as a ghost-writer!?!?*

* Always remember, it's not libel if you throw a few cheeky exclamation-points at the end!!! That's the Wonkette rule, and I think it's a good one!!!
