...became the talk of the town in Washington, D.C., as the blogger Wonkette, covering politics with a racy edge. Now, her new book, Dog Days, a roman ? clef about a 28-year-staffer on the 2004 campaign of Democratic candidate John Hillman (get it?) who is having an affair with a married political journalist, Cox making waves in the same mainstream media that she saucily disses. This week, she sold her second book to Riverhead with typical Wonkette fanfare. We caught up with Ana Marie by phone on a train to D.C., returning from a publicity trip...

(Or that at least the promos do; the group had not yet seen, or requested, a screener from...
...would be a G-8 member as a developed, free and democratic country. I worked to that end. At the time when Russia was invited to the political part of G-8, nobody suspected such changes in political trends. But they would have hardly accepted Russia, if the Yukos affair and all other things that started in 2003 were happening even then...
