    Wow!

    Amanda seems to leave a few points out.

    She fails to mention that John Edwards said he was personally offended by some of her posts and found the content intolerant. That didn't sound like she was off to a good start with the boss did it?

    She also fails to mention the substantial amount of criticism levied at her by the religious left and moderates. Oh well, that's easy to forget when you're trying to pin the blame on the VRWC and avoid responsibility for your own actions.

    At least she's not some rich white godbag's bitch anymore and can say what she wants again.
