Looks like I jumped the gun on saying bye bye to John Edwards’ potty-mouthed blogger Amanda Marcotte (Amanda Marcotte, You Go Girl!) – she’s still got a job. Powerline gives the latest 411:
“If the campaign keeps Marcotte and the other lefty blogger, it will be a clear sign of weakness — powerful evidence that Edwards needs the unhinged element of his party so desperately in his quest to overcome Hillary Clinton that he can’t dump a pair of infantile bloggers who, at a minimum, will constitute a liability in the unlikely event the party nominates him.
“The bloggers themselves also seem pretty desperate. Apparently, they need this gig so badly that they don’t mind being told to ‘shut up and sing.'”
