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

    Somehow I doubt it

    So, you think that you merely "stuck out" and "didn't fit the image"? Just a step in the "direction of diversity." Well, you poor victim of the right-wing smear machine, it's sad that you can't acknowledge the truth of the controversy: you are a pathetically ungifted, vicious, antireligious nut. If that makes you a "stand-out feminist," more's the pity. Please spare us the self-congratulatory hype that you're just too darn hip to be Edwards' blogger.

    Pathetic.
