Friends Dropping Like Flies

June 30, 2006 03:30 PM

First our local buddies over at The Blue Chip Review announced they are hanging it up, and now we have late breaking news from Washington that one half of Wonkette is departing.

David Lat is leaving the Gawker media empire and starting a new venture, gossiping about lawyers for the brilliant Elizabeth Spiers (the original Gawker).  As you all surely know, David is the genius behind Underneath Their Robes, the fantastically successful blog about the federal judiciary.  Using a different name, NBS was a frequent tipster to UTR, and a huge fan of David's.  Although at the time, we thought he was a hot chick in black La Perla underwear.  We will never forget the jaw dropping moment when we learned the truth.  It was distinctly like being in a blogospheric version of Shakespeare's As You Like It.  But, we remain huge fans, even if he is not a hot bitchy chick!  We even trust him so much, that he is one of only 4 people who know NBS's true identity.

We wish David the best in his new endeavor, which we are sure will be wildly successful.  And, we hope, lucrative.
