Ana Marie Cox to write for Washington Post?

Ana Marie Cox of Wonkette is one of four finalists for Reliable Source, the gossip column left empty since May. Says the Washingtonian:

Ana Marie Cox has become the capital’s “it” gossip-blogger thanks to many articles about Wonkette, especially one in the New York Times Magazine. She shows up often on TV talk shows and DC’s social scene and then unclothes the high and mighty. Her prose is occasionally laced with language that would not pass the Post’s “family newspaper” standards. The question most asked by the Post’s scribbling hordes: Can she report?

She told the Washingtonian, “Commenting on this would be a good way to prove I wasn’t interested in the job.” She can’t be too worried about alienating the Post. Reliable Source will appear on page three of the Post’s Style section; Cox mocked the Style section’s lead story today: “The heat has everyone at the Post a little woozy. How else to explain yesterday’s lead Style section essay? Yes, an essay about shade.” As always, no love lost between Cox and past Style writers.
