OK, so there are six flashlights in my
apartment and none have battteries in
them. So what, it doesn't prove a thing.

RALEIGH NC - - One of the chief campaign bloggers for Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards quit Monday after conservative critics raised questions about her history of provocative online messages. Amanda Marcotte posted on her personal blog, Pandagon, that the criticism "was creating a situation where I felt that every time I coughed, I was risking the Edwards campaign." Marcotte said she resigned from her position Monday, and that her resignation was accepted by the campaign.
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, demanded last week that Edwards fire Marcotte and a second blogger, Melissa McEwan, for remarks he deemed anti-Catholic. Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, called the messages personally offensive, but decided to keep Marcotte and McEwan on staff.
"No matter what you think about the campaign, I signed on to be a supporter and a tireless employee for them, and if I can't do the job I was hired to do because Bill Donohue doesn't have anything better to do with his time than harass me, then I won't do it," Marcotte wrote Monday night.
Double boink....
Her nose also doubles as a landing strip for light aircraft.
The really significant aspect of this business is what the media is carefully avoiding, and one that the right should continue to harp on and exploit for a good while to come.
These is nothing unique (in the Democratic party) about this woman and her attitude/beliefs. Thus the point is not so much that she said what she said, it is that Edwards hired her AND kept her on after it. The fact that he did not castigate her publicly and fire her is extremely telling.
It tells me who Edwards considers his base and does not wish to offend.
I shudder for this country is these people ever get total charge again.
She quit?!! Edwards is a coward for not firing her. What a loser.
So basically, you're one of those patriarchs who would prefer good looking women to just shut up about their rabid left-wing political opinions and just look pretty? That's so oppressive! Come to think about it, that's pretty much what I think too.
Yep, used to work that angle pretty hard. LOL
Take credit? Why shouldn't he? HE DOES HAVE A NATIONAL NO. 1 TALK SHOW. Word got out all over the country.
Thank goodness for Bill.
This from a man who managed to bring up the sexual orientation of Dick Cheney's daughter during the national debates on TV.
Such a ZERO. What in the world makes that man think he could even be a leader?
Dirty Underwear Girl.
What is it about libloggers that think F-bombs add to their argument? Why are all feminists so angry??
Pray for W and Our Troops
She resigned BEFORE his 8pm. show. He will still take credit.
Just like he took credit for Bush winning in 00. He said Gore would have won if he would have appeared on his show.
Quit? Hardly.
and had she said that about moooohumit the mooslums would have hung her from the closest light post.
big win, thanks bill
Edwards should have fired the Scum......He's a no good S.O.B.
He's (nominally) a "she".
I contrast this post with quotes of vile content with the outrageous title the AP put on this story.
