Amanda F****** Marcotte f****** resigns from the f****** Edwards Campaign! |
2007-02-13 |
Remember last week, when Chris Bowers was strutting around like Mick Jagger in his prime talking up his mighty power over the Edwards campaign? Well, a few short days later, Amanda Marcotte is no longer in the employ of Senator Edwards: Amanda Marcotte has resigned as the blogger for the presidential campaign of Democrat John Edwards. She blamed her decision on Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League who last week demanded that Edwards fire her for anti-Catholic statements at the blog Pandagon. Besides the obvious satisfaction of seeing a worthy comeuppance, three things strike me as particularly hilarious about this: one, that Marcotte apparently is giving us fair warning that she intends to become even more foul-mouthed and unpleasant now that she is no longer ‘held back’ by her employment with Edwards. Two, we can obviously see now the complete and utter insincerity of her ‘apology’. Three, she actually thinks anyone is going to give a damn about her now! It’s over, babe…now you’re just another foul-mouthed lefty, and I can’t swing a cat without hitting three of those… UPDATE 9:53 p.m.: It gets funnier by the minute. Here’s Matt Stoller’s incredibly blind take: Bill Donohue’s attack on Edwards failed… It did? Marcotte resigned, and that’s a…victory??!!???…Even his own commenters aren’t buying that one… UPDATE 10:10 p.m.: Oh, here’s a beaut from a Kos commenter: I wish she would have stuck it out. Amanda’s viewpoints are pretty mainstream in my neck of the woods. You can say that again!… UPDATE 11:38 p.m.: Bowers weighs in, no longer doing the victory dance: Sadly, the inhuman still rules the world of American politics. We will all be a lot better off when there is a more prominent place for someone like Amanda Marcotte in our public discourse. Yes, if there is one thing missing from our public discourse, it’s more people willing to describe the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit in a highly sexualized, wholly inappropriate manner…Chris, you are just dead on, buddy… Very likely she was actuall fired last week, but she and the Edwards campaign engaged in a little PR Kabuki theatre under which she got to pretend to have resigned to spend more time |

#10 F***ing Update: The other f***ing anti-Christian blogger, Melissa F***ing McEwan f***ing resigned from the f***ing Edwards campaign. Edwards comment - "Why'd I f***ing hire those f***ing losers. Now I'm f***ed". |

#8 So much for my laughter quota this election. I'm still hoping Hillary hires Kos to do her blog. |

#7 We will all be a lot better off when there is a more prominent place for someone like Amanda Marcotte... We don't have literal laughingstocks anymore. Seriously, Marcotte cannot write, and she cannot think. All she can do is curse and rage, and to many people that's an adequate substitute for thought. I remain mystified over Edwards choosing her, but I'm sorry she resigned. She would have been so much fun. |

#6 BOR blasted Edwards last night. Slip N Fall Johnny is another Janus-faced politician who's wasting precious oxygen. |

#1 "We will all be a lot better off when there is a more prominent place for someone like Amanda Marcotte..." A scaffold would work. Better yet, hang ALL these leftist assholes and we'll all be a LOT better off. |
