Panda-gone?
Updated below Amanda Marcotte may have been fired, and guess how the liberal blogs are reacting? Did you answer "With angry, over the top obscenity laced rants"? Then you're right! And if you added "Also, they're acting like this is the most important issue ever... just like they do with any of their piddling crap issues they latch onto," then you get bonus points. I'm getting the feeling that the netroots just don't like the idea that, just because they're a bunch of hate-filled lunatics, they should be considered political liabilities (i.e., the "reality-based" community is getting angry at reality). Sure, the Democrats like the netroots' money and votes, but they want to do that exchange in a back alley out of the public eye and deny it later. That has to hurt their feelings. What's this mean for us? Well, if Edwards fires Marcotte, then he will officially have responded quicker to right-wing blogs than any Republican making him my favorite candidate. Since no politician out there will do what we want out of principle, maybe we should settle for one we can successfully bully. Seriously, though, this whole thing reminds me of a scientific research that, while it's better to study for a test sober, if you do study drunk then you're better off taking the test drunk. Similarly, Edwards never should have hired Marcotte, but, since he did, he's better off keeping her. If he bows to pressure to fire her, then he'll just seem even more like the preening little sissy we all know he is. The best thing for him to do is embrace Marcotte and officially become the hate-filled lefty candidate. He can probably run with that all the way to a victory in the primary before being inevitably being trounced by whatever wishy-washy idiot we nominate. UPDATE: It looks like he followed my advice: Edwards says Amanda and Melissa will stay. Just leave yourself elbow room to fire them after the primary, Edwards... that's what a shrewd politician would do. 9 Responses To "Panda-gone?"
Once again you have a way of looking at things that I missed, Frank! I agree Edwards is a panty wearing sissy boy who probably sucks his thumb at night while his wife reads bed-time stories to him about how great his hair looks…but I hadn’t thought about him running as a hate filled lefty! Interesting take! He does need serious monkey face punching, however, just for suggesting a tax increase! #1 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on February 8, 2007 10:11 AM"Since no politician out there will do what we want out of principle, maybe we should settle for one we can successfully bully." Hmmmm, too long for a t-shirt. Not Pithy either. I like the sentiment though. #2 - Posted by: spacemonkey on February 8, 2007 10:25 AMGood call frank! I think you're right! It sounds like a theme for another HFL cartoon. I miss those. ~P&B~ #3 - Posted by: Pork & Beans on February 8, 2007 11:35 AMIt might have been wiser to wait until he got nominated for something (if he did), and then bring Marcotte's behavior to national attention. As it is, this has become a non-issue. #4 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on February 8, 2007 11:36 AMI'm going to visit her site & see if she has opened a thread about it that she can delete any comments from if they don't coincide with her sentiments. #5 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 8, 2007 11:55 AMYou should make this phrase and guess how the liberal blogs are reacting? Did you answer "With angry, over the top obscenity laced rants"? Then you're right! And if you added "Also, they're acting like this is the most important issue ever... just like they do with any of their piddling crap issues they latch onto," then you get bonus points. into a hot key as you could probably use it each and every day (hour?). Did you answer "With angry, over the top obscenity laced rants"? Then you're right! And if you added "Also, they're acting like this is the most important issue ever... just like they do with any of their piddling crap issues they latch onto," then you get bonus points. See? It's just so useful. Sorry, one more Amanda Marcotte's oatmeal was just right today and guess how the liberal blogs are reacting. Did you answer "With angry, over the top obscenity laced rants"? Then you're right! And if you added "Also, they're acting like this is the most important issue ever... just like they do with any of their piddling crap issues they latch onto," then you get bonus points.
So here's something interesting I gleaned from "roxanne" over at pandagon. http://blog.johnedwards.com/story/2007/2/8/113651/4503 Seems like the unhinged can't even support each other. #8 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 8, 2007 12:58 PMEdwards stated that: //...they have both assured me that it was never their intention to malign anyone's faith, and I take them at their word.// Really? So all the anti-Christian & anti-Catholic in particular ranting, all the bible-bashing speeches, all the cursing about faithful Republicans on their blogs, all of that was just them joking around? It seems pretty malignant to me. And if Johnny is going to take their word for it, then he might as well pack it up. #9 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 8, 2007 01:23 PMPost a comment
