An entire decade ago, Gawker Media launched a D.C. spinoff called Wonkette. There were no iPhones or tablets or black presidents then, just crude weapons such as "blogs" and "the Blingee." Now-old editors including Alex Pareene, Jason Linkins, Josh Fruhlinger, Kirsten Boyd Johnson and "Ken Layne" are today sharing their mostly heartbreaking tales of madness, booze, blood and Santorum on this blessed anniversary. (Original editor Ana Marie Cox skipped the reunion.) Wonkette itself was spun off (to me!) in 2008, and continues as a filthy website about the vile comedy of politics, led by Wonkette-in-Chief Rebecca Schoenkopf.

A senator accepted a bundle of cash; Susan Orlean imbibed something 'hard core;' and Ana Marie Cox touched someone again. The Twitterati had a lot of explaining to do.

A Twitter engineer said Google's new "Chrome" OS is something you resign yourself to; a CNET writer said it's something you are infected with; and Mediaite might hang out awkwardly on Tumblr with it. The Twitterati were ruthless.

Laurel Touby found out just how tough her underlings have had it; David Lynch said something appropriately cryptic and JDate tested a cranky, fasting Jew's patience. The Twitterati got deeper into their grooves.

Gothamist took aim, Felix Salmon took a swipe and Jason Linkins took stock. The Twitterati were on the receiving end.
