As Dave Weigel, over at Cosmo Girl (aka Reason magazine [we kid because we love, guys]) duly notes today, it seems that Wonkette’s got some sort of vengeance against Ron Paul — which happens to involve just plain wrong reporting. Earlier today they reported that the presidential candidate had more than 20,000 donors serving in the military when he actually got more than 20,000 DOLLARS from those donors. Big difference.

“The story on Wonkette is wrong,” Paul campaign staffer Jesse Benton told Weigel. “We’d love to have 22,140 active military donors, but that’s a lot of guys with five-figure salaries dipping into their wallets.”

Hey, here’s an idea: Maybe the Gawker Empire can start donating some dollars every time Wonkette gets a story wrong.
