So some computer geeks have made a campaign headquarters for John Edwards in Second Life, the virtual expanding multi-player transnational web game. And okay, we get Wonkette’s point— that Second Life is different and no substitute for “first life.” But she goes at it hard. Second Life, she says, is an “online role-playing dorkfest” and that “It’s just like… Meetup, except that instead of actually leaving your house to go to a fundraising party, you can pretend to be a huge-chested Japanese woman.”

Coming from Wonkette, though, princess of the dorky political blogosphere who incidentally looks not very much like her spunky avatar, it seems a sure case of protesting too much, as if creating a blogging personality isn’t pretty “second life” anyway, as if it isn’t obvious that if Wonkette were five years younger she would be the hugest of the “huge-chested Japanese women” in Second Life! Admit it, Wonkette, you got a thing for the Edwards Second Life geeks, don’t ya? Or maybe you are one of the Edwards Second Life geeks!
