Given how edgy blog writing is (some more than others), it seems inevitable that bloggers who go to work for campaigns will get their past writings scrutinized and then have their employers dogged to fire them. If there's anything that surprises me about this dust-up with the Edwards campaign, it's this. Is it really possible that they hadn't figured out who they were hiring, figured something like this would happen and planned for how they would react if and when it did?

That said, the 'incendiary' quotes I just heard referenced on CNN didn't really strike me as all that incendiary. And second, Bill Donohue? Chief rabblerouser and bullyboy of the 'Catholic League'? Please. I think he gave up his 'incendiary' language complaint rights when he said that " "Hollywood likes anal sex" or that "Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular." I can't wait till he comes with the dig that gets Jews, Christians and anal sex all into one long smoldering sentence.

Please. Please. Please. Let's get someone on the right to complain who's not a complete nutball and Jew-basher and then we can talk.
