Marcotte is special kind of idiot not to recognize the link between a personal blog and a professional political blog.
Marcotte is special kind of idiot not to realize that to poke fun at religion is to assault religo-crazed sociopaths people like Donahue.
Exactly what was she thinking when she wrote the "Sticky spirit" comment???
I'm not particularly religious, but the comment is both vulgar, and disrespectful. How could one NOT see the trouble with this??
The person on the Edwards' campaign that picked this tin-eared dolt--deserves a sacking.
And then there's this little self-realization:
"...it helps if she's young and female and doesn't know her place..."
When taken with the "Sticky spirit" comment--I see a strident feminist challenging the patriarch. Then with the "...young and female.." comment--the feminist retreats in to saftey of "I'm only a little girl who doesn't know any better..." (girly giggles ensue).
Disengenuous at best....
