Why I had to quit the John Edwards campaign

During my brief tenure as blogmaster for a Democratic presidential contender, I experienced the right-wing smear machine firsthand

    Marcotte and Gilliard are the two biggest crybabies on the net

    And both are the first to immediately ban anyone who dares disagree with them. Free speech advocates, my ass. It's nice to know that bullies come in all political flavors...bullies being simply the most insecure people on the planet projecting their self-hatred onto others.

    The funny part is, where would Gilliard and Marcotte be without a blog? The more successful assholes like Hitler found enough losers to support their cause, the less successful ones like David Koresh chose to immoliate their merry band of followers.

    I suspect that garden-variety fucktards like Gilliard and Marcotte would have to get real day jobs while aspiring to be the 'stapler guy' from "Office Space."

    —boo fucking hoo
