Remember Amanda of Pandagon who between her and her commenters spent about eighty pages trying to figure out where one of my posts was technically a satire? Well, the Edwards campaign snatched her up because of her “insightful and often humorous political blogging” (Question: When a candidate tries to portray himself as a warrior for the working class and then builds himself a 28,000 square foot home, is that technically a satire?).
Anyway, as one would expect with these Kos types, fuss has already begun about her previous posts embarrassing the Edwards campaign with futile efforts of cover up in the era of the Google cache. The Puppy Blender has links.
If some campaign ever hired me, I wonder how far I could get on the “I was joking!” defense when my previous posts come under scrutiny? I really do want to nuke the moon, but I’ll deny whatever I need to if it will get me paid.
UPDATE:
Here’s her setting up a strawman and then deleting any comments challenging her. If you can’t take the heat…
She’s the best thing to happen to all of Edward’s opponent’s chances.
She got all butt-hurt & closed the thread. It must be tough for her, going through life discussing only the topics that she thinks she already knows.
Perhaps sometime she’ll set up a “tastes great/less filling” thread, and then delete any comments about alchohol content.
Post Deleted due to content…post is about Frank J. killing OJ’s wife!
Amanda’s so precious she’ll have everyone around her wanting to strangle her in no time. Only a fool would pick someone so self-absorbed to work on a campaign blog. Amanda isn’t going to represent someone else’s views. She prizes her own viewpoint so dearly that she’ll never be able to accommodate the views of the candidate for whom she is now working. Sophomore year is over Amanda. Time to adapt your writing tools to someone else’s views.
Good luck! That for the staff workers that have to put up with Amanda.
