What is this rubbish? What is pretty boy John Edwards trying to do? The two bloggers have promised him “they’ll be more temperate in their language than they were before they joined his campaign.” He clearly knew what they were like before he took them on. He clearly took them on to cater for a certain market in the blogosphere. Commenter Bob Owens said:
It's all quite delicious, actually. Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan prostitute themselves by disavowing the overwhelming majority of their own bodies of work to keep their jobs, while Edwards flip-flops from yesterday and caves under the pressure of a group of progressive internet extremists to keep them on staff.
I never would have voted for him in the first place...but after having read the comments by the bloggers, I wonder why any politician would want someone on their staff who makes their arguments in such a way.
ReplyDeleteBill Richardson in 2008!! (I think...I haven't come across anything that horrendous about him yet.)
