  Surely there are reasons, perhaps buried in office politics or turf battles or something else behind the scenes, for this recurring failure of judgment.

  There is ONE reason why Salon won't tell us why they continue to run BAD writers, with NONSENSICAL opinions, who are ANTITHETICAL to liberalism like Camille Paglia and Debra Dickerson.

  The one reason: MONEY.

  • Camille Paglia (or Debra Dickerson, for that matter) vomits up her latest bile
  • Salon makes a four (count em, four) page article out of it (at least for Camille...Debra usually gets about 3)
  • People go to it, knowing it's going to be another evil tirade, unencumbered by reality, and that people will respond accordingly
  • People click through the article, then they click through 5, 10, 20 more pages of letters.

• 1:40 Eastern / Judge Just Ruled: Scooter's Going to the Clink!!!!!

  [Read the article: Libby judge: Harassing letters followed sentencing]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  Poor poor Scooter. Oh boo hoo.

  Now he's either going to:

  1. Do his time, keep his mouth shut, and then cash in after he gets out with multi-million dollar jobs serving on boards, and attending once a year board of directors meetings at tropical locations, with companies that are FOD ("Friends of Dick") -- i.e., Haliburton, Blackwater, etc.
  2. Start squealing like a stuck pig, and bring down Dick and Dubya and the rest of the criminals running our country
  3. Get a pardon so that he doesn't start squealing
     
     

  Wonder which way it'll go...anyone have any guesses? I figure the pardon was written up and is already on its way to wherever it needs to go...

  2. Start squealing like a stuck pig, and bring down Dick and Dubya and the rest of the criminals running our country, which could actually be quite satisfying, even from behind bars
  3. Get a pardon, so that he doesn't start squealing and implicate said criminals...
     
     

  Wonder which way it'll go...anyone have any guesses?

  I figure the pardon was written up and is already wending its way to wherever it needs to go to be formally filed...

  Or Camille Paglia?

  Or Caitlin Flanagan?

  Or another member of Salon's Navel-Gazing Patrol?

• "...equally vicious to the Clintons and the Obamas..."

  [Read the article: Maureen Dowd slurs the Clintons and the Obamas]

  Say what you will about Maureen Dowd: At least she can look in the mirror every day and know she's being equally vicious to the Clintons and the Obamas...
  

  ~ Joan Walsh

  Joan, if this is something that earns your grudging journalistic respect, why don't you even do the same here at Salon?

  Your clear bias against Obama, personally, and in the form of various derogatory columns written by Debra Dickerson et. al., continue unabated...

• @Thrasher: I agree, but at least it wasn't Debra Dickerson

  [Read the article: Barack Obama in New Orleans]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  This was a pretty bland accounting, agreed.

  But thank the heavenly stars that Joan, she of the utterly deaf ear, at least did NOT assign this one to Debra "I'm Blacker and More Dysfunctional than Everyone Else" Dickerson to write this one.

  Be thankful for small favors...
