The New York Post has leaped on top of the pathetic robbing of soon-to-be former Wonkette editor Alex Pareene, which we had noted quite a few days ago (maybe, somehow, this makes perfect sense, since we’ve been covering the foibles of Post gossip Cindy Adams for Radar as of late). While Pareene didn’t return our requests for comment, he told Page 6 this:

The thief was laughably incompetent. Certainly less exciting than the times I was mugged for real when I lived in Bushwick.

Um, well, if the robber was incompetent, then why didn’t Alex defend his girlfriend, or even stand up to said robber? His girlfriend has said Alex knew the robber was using a fake gun, so why didn’t he fight back? We demand more answers! Now! Before Alex retreats to the safe confines of NYC!
