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

    John Edwards: In It To Win It... NOT!

    Would any of the major candidates - Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden - hire those 2 clowns, Marcotte and McEwan? Sure, they make people think of Edwards. Trouble is, lots of people these days are wondering, what was John Edwards thinking when he hired 2 small time brats to manage his website? Did he think these Terrible Twosome would somehow morph into worldly, intelligent team players who would bring wise, sophisticated political insights and witty blogs to the table?

    If it can be said that Karl Rove is Bush's brain, Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan have shown us they own the franchise to John Edwards' sorry ass.

    As for their anti-Catholic tantrums and rants, these self-styled prophets, Marcotte and McEwan, never had a clue: they are God's gift to the Catholic League.

    Stick a fork in John Edwards. Dawg's done.

    —Loubelle
