Well, it turns out that the infamous Mary Ann Akers’ e-mail that Wonkette was begging for earlier was hiding in an ultra-secret spot: the editor’s inbox!
“Due to a hilarious sitcom-style bicoastal mix-up, one of your editors in fact HAD received this email, but ignored it due to the fact that we get e-mails from people who forget to BCC pretty much daily,” Wonkette’s Alex Pareene explained in an update to the original post.
His humor aside, Mary Ann was obviously pretty pissed off. She sent him the following e-mail:
Alex, i’m sure YOU were among those who received my farewell letter. I sent the email to friends and colleagues and, well, anyone whose email address I had, either from direct correspondence or from joint emails. That wasn’t my source list! I think most of those email addresses belonged to people who emailed me statements, press releases, other public documents. I was in a huge rush to leave Roll Call, move into my new house, get married (which I did last weekend), and start my new job as a columnist at washingtonpost.com (which i did on Monday, after returning from Barbardos on Sunday). I would NEVER reveal any of my secret sources on a mass email list. But I apologize and really feel terrible if anyone who received my farewell email felt that I had double crossed them. I just had too much going on at once. I should have realized that it could be wrongly interpreted as something it was not. So, to everyone who received my farewell email — hello! And to all my sources who weren’t on the farewell email in question, I love y’all, keep those tips coming to maryann.akers@washingtonpost.com.

Yet another reason why BHR should be writing Wonkette!
[…] Alex Pareene, of Wonkette fame, admits today that he’s getting pretty forgetful (like when Mary Ann Akers sent him that e-mail). “While we never forget 9/11, somehow we forgot Dick Cheney’s birthday yesterday,” he writes. “That’s like remembering Easter but forgetting Christmas, or something.” Way to cover your tracks with sarcastic humor, Alex. Can you please just resign so that Ken Layne can take over? He’s way cooler. […]
