I don't talk politics too much. But this story has to do with how politicians use the blogs. But Amanda Marcotte, of Pandagon, and Melissa McEwan, of Shakespeare's Sister, have been criticized by conservative bloggers for statements they had previously made on their blogs before joining the John Edwards presidential campaign.
Of course there are two sides to the story. One side stated in Time Magazine and the other on liberal blog MyDD
I would post sections from the article, but I don't have that kind of time. But I will cut to the bottom line. Catholic groups want the two bloggers fired for their past comments. As of Thursday morning, there is no clear answer about whether they have lost their jobs. That will likely come sometime today.
I'll post a followup tonight or tomorrow morning and my takes on the story. Also tonight, the download of the day. Tomorrow afternoon, a much-needed trip to Arizona for fun, poker, and, um, stuff.
