    The post-resignation nastiness goes on

    Oh, "Virginia Dentata", give me a break. You realize that that nasty little comment of yours would, by recently confirmed standards, totally disqualify you from working on anyone's campaign? It's vitriolic, pissy, rude, intemperate.... Ooh, but wait, unlike Amanda Marcotte, you haven't used your real name.

    Keep writing, keep talking, keep expressing your views, Virginia. After all, it's a free country, no thanks to people like Donohue, O'Reilly, Malkin, et al.

    Best wishes to Amanda and Melissa. Good grief, I wish Molly Ivins could send columns from heaven.

    —Maggie Lehman
