LIVE FROM BOSTON In announcing yesterday that it has enlisted Ana Marie Cox to cover the Democratic National Convention, MTV cited her "unabashed style and irreverence." The music channel said the editor of the wacky political gossip website wonkette .com will join MTV's two other correspondents, Gideon Yago and Sway, filing daily reports from the convention. On her website yesterday, Cox wrote that she's looking forward to the assignment, but confessed to some security concerns: "Maureen Dowd writes today that the Secret Service is advising journalists to bring gas masks. I think I'll just bring duct tape."
