The number one reason why Edwards isn’t qualified to be President
So maybe you know about Amanda Marcotte, maybe you don’t. I’ll try to give you the short version.
Amanda blogs at a far-left blog named Pandagon. She’s hateful, mean, and completely devoted not to equality, but to female supremacy at the cost of everything else. She’s foul-mouthed (not that I personally hold that against her!) and simply an awful human being. If you want to learn more about her, I suggest reading this post, this post and this post over at Michelle Malkin’s - and you know my record with Malkin, so please trust that I think Malkin and the people to whom she links are pretty accurately representing Amanda.
Anyhoo...Edwards hired her to be his official campaign blogger. Huge mistake. Amanda started cleaning the Pandagon archives of her most heinous statements, like my favorite, her statement about the Duke rape case, made long after the rest of the world realized that both the “victim” and the prosecutor were lying their individual and collective asses off:
In the meantime, I’ve been sort of casually listening to CNN blaring throughout the waiting area and good fucking god is that channel pure evil. For awhile, I had to listen to how the poor dear lacrosse players at Duke are being persecuted just because they held someone down and fucked her against her will—not rape, of course, because the charges have been thrown out.
Can’t a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it?
So unfair.
Yes, how dare a rape victim act confused and bewildered like she was raped or something.
Natalia, do you know the details of the case? If so, why do you think a women enthusiastically jumped into a sexual situation with men making slavery jokes at her? Furthermore, what is your theory on why she supposedly looooooved having sex with guys holding her facedown on the bathroom floor? There’s no “if” they behaved in a disrespectful manner. We have conclusive evidence that happened.
So there you have it, that’s Amanda. Horrible judgment on John Edwards’ part to hire someone like that. Word has come down today from Salon that she may be fired, which would be the first smart thing Edwards has done in quite a few years. No one can confirm it though.
Phew! All that was simply so I could post this, from Ace’s:
And that, ladies & germs, is why John Edwards is wholly unqualified to do anything except brush his beautiful, flowing hair. A story like this has his staff - and therefore to the rest of the world, him - frozen and incompetent. If you are a Democrat, I am quite sure you've felt Bush has been that way from time to time, no? Frozen with indecision, unable to cope with the realitiues of the job? If so, I put it to you that at least Bush freezes when big things happen. Terrorist attacks. War. The destruction of an American city.You may report that your sources in the Beltway media establishment are getting pretty f#$&#xin;g tired of waiting for the patriarchy at the John Edwards campaign to issue a statement making the oppression of Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan an official matter of public record.Nearly 7 hours after the Salon report, and still no confirmation.
If Edwards can be frozen into inaction by the threat of a Chris Bowers Important Action Alert (TM), is Edwards really ready to be Leader of the Free F#%&ing World?
Snark aside, that’s a good point: The Shiny Pony wants us to believe he can stare down Ahmadinejad, and he can’t even manage to handle Amanda Friggin’ Marcotte?
The Edwards machine has been frozen all day over finding out that the campaign blogger they hired is a little bundle of hate and bile. They can't get in front of this story? John Edwards is dead as a candidate. He can’t handle anything. Barack would slap the piss out of him in a debate, and Hillary wouldn’t even give him the time of day, he’s out of her league completely. He’s an empty suit and a great head of hair. He cannot handle the events of today. How do you think he would handle, say, a small nuclear attack in an American city?
He wouldn’t call Jack Bauer, that’s for sure. My guess is, his first call would be to Vidal Sassoon.
Say goodbye to the Breck Girl. The right will make sure the moderates know what a weeny he really is, and the nutroots will despise him for turning on one of their own. He’s done.

Totally agree. I caught something similar on Hot Air-Michelle really rips into her. But clearly the Edwards people should have done a better job at picking someone for the position

Edwards can’t even say that he wasn’t aware of her background, either, because “Chief Blogger” is the cyberspace equivalent to the Press Secretary. Or maybe the Deputy Chief, but still an “official voice”.

Sorry, I clicked the wrong button.
Anyhow, he can’t even say that he was unaware of her background, because for such positions a halfway competent person would do some basic research into her positions even before approaching them as to the possibility. It would have taken a teenager less than five minutes to find out the most intimate details of her various positions.
At this point, you could probably fit the entire campaign staff into a single booth at Denny’s, so this was a “hands-on” decision of the first order, and no matter which way his incompetence is exposed, he’s through.

Then there was her post about how it was terrible that William Rehnquist had died, because now Roe v. Wade would be overruled. I’m not kidding about this. She appeared to be unfamiliar with the fact that Rehnquist dissented in Roe, and tried to have it overturned ever since.
Do any Democrats actually know anything at all about the Supreme Court and how its Justices vote. You’ve got this venomous bitch not realizing that Rehnquist was opposed to Roe v. Wade. Then when Kelo was voted on ole Screamin’ Dean was talking about the decision that the conservative SC had made, not even knowing that it was the liberal justices on the majority side in that decision. Then you have all the Senators who seem to think its some sort of super legislator.
