    What's Good for the Goose is Goood for the Gander

    I'm so sorry to see a page of the left wing torn from the play book and used against one of their own. Screeching, hyperbole, & baseless emotion being used against a person in the public arena? My goodness, what have we come to? Maybe it's time for the media and those in politics to step back, take a breather, and stop the riduculous attacks. Nah, it's not going to happen because people like Amanda Marcotte benefit too much from mudslinging and baseless attacks. I guess what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

    —Mike Shatto
