Bless her soul, Ana Marie Cox liveblogged her little heart out from Yearly Kos this weekend, trying ever so desperately to reclaim her title as the wittiest Wonkette out of Washington. But, is it just us, or is she trying too hard? Like maybe all those years of blogging from her PJs about ass fucking has left her well a bit dry? To wit:

1:12 PM Applause for Gravel, then so much standing ovation I can’t really tell who started it. Also I can’t see. Bai: “This is not going to be one of those forums where people hold their applause.”

She can’t see. She’s liveblogging an event she can’t even see. See?

1:32 PM This debate is going last ELEVENTY HUNDRED HOURS. If you want to watch it, here’s the link: http://www.ustream.tv/

More like, “I’m tired of liveblogging, so liveblog the damn thing yourself.” Yes, she gets paid no matter what.

1:35 PM Ben Smith, who is not sitting next to me, is also liveblogging…

Um. OK. Who? Does that somehow make her feel justified? As in, “I am not alone. This really does serve a purpose. After all, I convinced my Time bosses it does.”

But it doesn’t. It just goes on and on here and here, kids – Ana Marie’s latest attempt to make what was revolutionary in 2004 somehow seem worth it and not completely pathetic today.
