Or is that really what "progressivism" is? Hm…maybe this woman isn’t as “progressive” as she fancies herself.

My gut feeling is that they will be offered jobs behind the scenes and out of the public eye. Salon is reporting that they have been fired.

John Edwards has hugged a tar baby. Let's see how long it takes him to get loose -- and how much longer it takes to scrub the tar off his face. Yessir, with judgment like that, the man is clearly presidential material. So … John Edwards has hugged a tar baby.

He'll get rid of her. She's a nuisance he doesn't need right now. Wouldn't you have thought they would have checked her out more carefully before hiring her.. g'ness.

However, you will find those type of attacks made on the other blogs. No, and I’m sorry if I gave the impression that you did. However, you will find those type of attacks made on the other blogs.

However, I'm not too keen on rightwing bloggers attacking her on her looks (although, I've seen the same attacks by the left on right wing bloggers). How is blogmaster different from webmaster? I'm not too supportive of attacking her just to get her fired from a low level political job. Also, post 2004 election, Elizabeth Edwards was posting on DemocraticUnderground. I also think she or he has a diary on Kos but I may be wrong. My point being, that the Edwards are extremely left. I am curious that no one has called the Edwards on their massive new mansion - approx 30,000 sq. ft. I agree that she is batshit crazy and vitriolic.
