The Only Post I'll Make on the Edwards' Blogger Issue
Anyone who is wringing their hands and furrowing their brow over the private postings of a couple of low-level campaign staffers with no policy-making influence working on John Edwards' campaign, but who is also touting Rudy Giuliani as a serious candidate for President is not to be taken seriously. Rudy is one of the most uncivil politicians around. If you're really concerned about the death of civil discourse, you should be out there campaigning against Giuliani, not a couple of women who aren't running for any office, let alone the highest office in the nation. Whether or not you agree with their politics or phrasing, Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan didn't deserve the kind of outrage that was stirred up over their being hired to staff a campaign blog. That outrage is better directed at those who run our country or want to run our country.
