Ana Marie Cox, the writer who made Washington politics irresistibly naughty, is giving up her job as a full-time, pajama-clad blogger to become a full-time, pajama-clad author. Cox, who just signed a contract for her second book, will hand off the political Web site to David Lat, the lawyer who secretly penned Underneath Their Robes, an irreverent blog about the judiciary world.
"I'm so happy," Cox said yesterday. "I was a big fan of Underneath Their Robes. [Lat's] already obsessed with all the things you need to be obsessed with to do Wonkette properly. The only thing I'm worried about is if he drinks enough. But I can drink for two, if necessary."
Wow. That's a surprise. Details here from the Washington Post. (via TalkLeft)
