Malkin Against Cocks, I Mean Cox

Michelle Malkin, who might be one of the Republican hotties Ann Coulter was talking about, really doesn't like Wonkette (real name Ana Marie Cox). Specifically, Malkin disapproves of the media's receptiveness towards "skankettes" like Cox and her protege, Jessica Cutler, a.k.a Washingtonienne, a Congressional staffer who traded sexual favors for money and career perks. At a speech at the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute, Malkin denounced the libertines:

Jessica, as many of you probably already know, has a three-hundred thousand dollar book deal, an upcoming Playboy photo shoot, and a Washington Post front cover article coming soon I hear. The woman who was her "mentor", Wonkette, Ana Marie Cox nabbed appearances on CNN and Fox and signed on to an MTV reporting gig during which she'll cover the Democratic National Convention this week [smirk].

What kind of lesson does that tell you if you are a young professional woman in Washington [smirk]?

I think the lesson it "tells" [sic] an aspiring Washington yuppette is that there are many avenues to career advancement, including being a professional woman as well as a professional woman, and proceeding to blog about one's trysts without even trying to keep things anonymous. Is that such a bad thing? And was Malkin's smirk a smirk of regret over the road not taken?
