BOB GARFIELD: We've called what you do gossip, but it's really more than that, because there's a very large element of satire here. You make fun of people for a living, no?
ANA MARIE COX: Yes. Finally. You know, it's something that got me in trouble pretty much all my life up until the month that I started doing Wonkette, and now I'm paid to lob spitballs from the back of the class.
BOB GARFIELD: You seem to have a low threshold of contempt. [LAUGHTER] Are you really so unimpressed with your fellow residents of the world inside the Beltway, or are you just playing a role?
ANA MARIE COX: I've said that I have a - very much a hate-love relationship with D.C. You know, the people here are boring, and the weather is bad, and architecture is terrible, but you know what -- like, D.C. is like the Alex P. Keaton of cities. Up front and on the surface it's, like, incredibly boring and dry. But at home, like they have a comic book collection and, you know, horror movie masks and there's all this, like, weird crazy stuff happening sort of in the corners. [BOTH SPEAK AT ONCE]
