From the Morford interview:

Q: How much feedback/mail do you typically get after a column is published? And what's the ratio between mail from your fans vs. those who hate you?

A: All depends on the column. A particularly pointed anti-Bush anti-war column will get me gobs of sneering hate mail, mostly from the delirious, hardcore psychopatriots at freerepublic.com or lucianne.com or andrewsullivan.com, et al, where they post chunks of my column in their discussion forums, along with my e-mail address, and encourage each other to flame me, usually in the cutest sort of monosyllabic, ragingly homophobic, horribly syntaxed, misspelled sort of way. Makes me proud to be an American. My girlfriend loves the anti-SF gay-bashing they aim my way, I might add.

Folks, resist the urge to respond to Ms. Morford. She thinks it validates her bi-weekly humor column. Oh, and BTW, her "girlfriend" is named Larry.

Read the Morford interview...um...

"I'm off the wall in a "You should really try this gorgeous bejeweled butt plug" sort of way."

His words, not mine. Honest Injun.

Methinks the best Morford genes were left languishing in her father's busted rubber.

If this guy was a good writer it's be one thing, but he's just a liberal. A hateful one at that. All he does is spew bile towards the right. How one could call that good writing is beyond me.
