    Sad story

    This is truly a sad, sad story. It is so sad that you feel like you have been persecuted by the "right wing." Do you realize how pathetic yuou look when you do that? You liberals are so out of touch with America that it is beyong funny. Now that is sad. As a matter of fact, I have never even heard of you before seing your article in Realclearpolitics. You have probably become more well known because of the "right wing smear machine" than you otherwise would have been, writing your nonsensical drivel for a bunch of lemmings to fawn over on a daily basis. And it is really sad that you make the story about how the "right wing" persecuted you, and how you are the victim. That is not sad, that is hilarious; how self-righteous can you be? Hmmmm, now I see why Edwards wanted to hire you in the first place. Maybe now you can go out and get a real job, and actually make a contribution to society.
