    Well said, Blue Bunny

    I am surprised that more people don't get the point that Michelman inadvertently makes: that you should not expect a do-over if you are a grossly inept feminist (or anti-war, or civil rights) pundit.

    "I didn't expect Chris Matthews to be so mean to me"? Fucking terrific.
